Cosiness – the German-language counterpart of the Scandinavian trend term "Hygge" – is pretty much true when we take a look towards southern Germany. Almost like in a contemporary fairy tale interpretation, in the middle of the Welzheim Forest stands a modern, enchanted residential building - the "Haus Mie". Deep black, at peace with itself, in harmony with nature and with a powerful aesthetic. From the outside as well as from the inside, it is the colour black that shapes the view. Anyone who suspects that cosy living and a strong choice of colours contradict each other is mistaken. Whether it's a façade or a luxurious fitted kitchen from LEICHT: black is omnipresent, modern, elegant, charming and expressive.
"German Cosiness ": The architecture
But first back to residential architecture. Thanks to the choice of materials and colours, the façade and roof of "Haus Mie" merge into a uniform dark shell, resulting in a completely reduced carcase. Generous glass fronts playfully break with the coherence of the residential building and provide insights and views of the surrounding nature of southern Germany as well as the interior design planning, in which the dark choice of colour once again plays an important leading role. A very special approach to cosiness – "The German Way". Our eyes rest not least thanks to clear architectural aesthetics and a view into the distance.
Whether small and fine or large: LEICHT Kitchens play with all scenarios made to measure
As soon as the front door opens and the first step over the threshold is taken, a completely new, but nevertheless familiar picture emerges: from a black monolith to a hospitable family oasis. Characterised by the choice of materials and colours, a feeling of calm and elegance continues inside. The combination of cool exposed concrete and warm natural wood embodies a decisive stylistic element – an aesthetic that is implemented right down to kitchen planning.
The handle-less LEICHT kitchen with a deep, velvet-matt look with the BONDI range fits seamlessly into the overall modern effect. In keeping with the sculptural character of the house, the centrally placed island block with its generous solid oak worktop, matt grey, almost black-looking fronts and filigree griprails stands in the middle of the kitchen space – simply homely and cosy, without neglecting the clearly architectural aesthetic. Storage space around the island block provides the necessary function, which is particularly essential in the kitchen. After all, who wants to do without their beloved cooking utensils? As a direct continuation of the open-plan LEICHT kitchen, the homely dining area with subtle splashes of colour and an inviting wooden table ties in with the small luxury kitchen.
