An air of the Hollywood Hills on the Swedish coast
When the property developers and interior architects Linda
and Mikael Bergman decided to create a private residence on the Falsterbo
Peninsula on Sweden’s southwestern tip, they had one aim: to build an
energy-efficient high-end residence with the latest smart-home technology.
Their vision originated in a house with a classic design and
a modern material mix, situated just 100 meters from the famous Ljunghusen
beach. The interiors were thoughtfully conceived, featuring walnut, brass,
marble and polished concrete, practically seamless, with no visible thresholds
or unnecessary frames. When designing the bathrooms, the owners selected and
customized a range of Axor products to align with their sophisticated vision.
Faucets in elegant colours
The Bergman’s villa includes two guest houses and offers a
wide range of amenities and features, from the three-car garage, special made
swimming pool, cinema room, restaurant kitchen to a wine & champagne bar.
While the home has an air of the Hollywood Hills in the 1950s, it is perfectly
positioned within a region widely referred to as the Swedish Riviera.
In the five master bathrooms, all fixtures are finished in
Brushed Black Chrome, one of numerous exclusive Axor FinishPlus surfaces. The Starck
Organic faucets at the washbasin harmonise elegantly with the black marble
walls and walnut accents and want to contribute to resource conservation with
new standards for water and energy conservation. The slender, sculpted form of
the freestanding Starck Organic bathtub faucet further enhances the sophisticated
aesthetic. In the shower, the ShowerHeaven 4jet version with the cocooning PowderRain
spray type is paired with an thermostatic module from Axor for five users,
ensuring an immersive shower experience that is truly customisable.
In the smaller bathrooms, meanwhile, the Starck 2-handle
washbasin faucet and products from the Showers programme from Axor are finished
in Brushed Red Gold, which offers an ideal contrast to the beige Versace
marble. “We fell in love with the Axor products after visiting the Axor stand
at a leading trade fair. The brand offers exactly what we were looking for— extraordinary,
energy-efficient products with beautiful custom finishes,” explains Linda
Bergman, interior architect and owner, her choice in favor of Axor products.
