CALMING NEUTRALS
Costa Brava-based Susanna Cots Interior Design creates a sweet symphony of emotional wellbeing with a symbiosis between materials, textures, and earthy colors to awaken the senses.
When you arrive somewhere, it may take a while for your eyes to adjust and for you to feel that you are processing all the details of what you see.
As well as inviting you to feel every detail with your eyes closed, arriving at this home is an invitation for you to discover the existential meaning of each detail.
From nature comes copper. From the senses come textures and the earth. From perfection comes the perfect asymmetry between beautiful and emotionally functional.
The connection between what we are outside and what we are inside
This space is born from the most minimalist detail that seeks to return to what it was before, honoring copper, its earthy color, and the texture of security. Susanna Cots proposes an interior design reminiscent of jewelry from the table legs to the leather texture on the drawers, arriving at the symmetry created with the breakfast bar. “The details, as Eames declared, make the design of this project,” says the designer.
The prominence of light
Cots explains, “In this home, before it was what it is now, we already felt that the interior design should merely complement what already belonged inside it: its wonderful natural light. We opened it up to connect and unite the interior with the exterior and allow this confusion to feel every season of the year.”
The connection between what we are outside and what we The balance of white
White – the designer’s hallmark – silences the dialogue between the different shades found in the details, such as the copper tones, the earthy colors, and the leather textures from the furniture that Susanna Cots created exclusively for this home. The same is found in the kitchen and bathroom, both in white, with copper details.
The strength of wood
The designer saves the integrity of the oak for the rooms on the upper floor - two complete suites where the interior designer achieves a warm embrace. The exact copper details of the ground floor office are applied in the large bedroom.
The perfect fittings for every detail
The square sofa was designed by Susanna Cots and manufactured by Flexiform. Everything was designed to match from the breakfast bar to the details of the drawers. The upholstered stools in the kitchen to the two sinks, as both are the heart of family interaction. The taps which match the lamps, the headboard and the jewelry cabinet, the towel racks...all of these fittings work because they serve the primary objectives: wellbeing, respect for the rhythm of each resident, and the integration of nature’s wisdom.
