Luxury that speaks for itself

Guesthouse

Best, The Netherlands

This beautifully designed guesthouse is created by Susan Vermeer.

A restrained interior where calm, proportions and material use tell the story. Everything is reduced to its essence. What remains, works.

Visible timber construction forms the foundation.White and wood keep each other in balance.
The open sleeping area, the oak kitchen and the custom-made furniture are built with attention to detail and align seamlessly with the architecture. Cabinets blend into the whole, lines stay quiet, details are chosen with intent.

Timeless materials

This project uses solid oak, oak veneer (Querkus Oak Natural) and brass.
Brass appears in handles, sink, taps and hinges — adding refinement without dominating.
Both the kitchen and the bathroom cabinet feature a countertop in Marazzi Ceppo di Gres: a strong material, applied with restraint.

Kitchen as part of the space

The kitchen is designed as one cohesive element within the interior.
A tall cabinet wall with integrated appliances is completed with continuous upper cabinets.
A subtle detail is added underneath: a LED line recessed into the bottom panel.
The sink and taps are finished in brass, tying into the overall palette.

The bathroom cabinet

The bathroom cabinet looks simple, but requires precision.
The design combines rounded corners with straight oak slats — technically not an obvious combination.

To ensure the slats fit perfectly around the curve, the backside of each slat is hollow-milled. This allows the wood to follow the exact shape of the cabinet without tension or visible interruptions.
It demands extra attention in engineering and production, yet keeps the design clean and intact.

This detail reflects our way of working.
We rarely say that something can’t be done — instead we explore the right technical translation together with the designer. Alignment between design, engineering, workshop and installation is crucial here.

Craftsmanship in cohesion

All other custom furniture follows the same principles.
An oak TV unit with a concealed grip profile and integrated cable routing.
Door panels for the stair niche and bathroom, with concealed brass hardware and 3D hinges.
Wall panels that bring everything together into one calm whole.

What this project demonstrates

A strong design requires technical attention — not to highlight the detail, but to let the design speak.

Simple when possible. Smarter when needed.
