The Evolution of a Door

The big highlight of this week was the breaking through the bearing wall to create space for a door. And when I say big, I mean it. After getting our engineering calculations of the door size and placement approved by the municipality and the owners association (VVE), our people from klussenbedrijf Chuckie outdone themselves once more. The wall is 20 cm thick of full concrete, cutting through in the safest and most efficient way required a massive machine. And this is the result so far, with the strong metal beam for support already in place. Of course, it still needs to be plastered and then a sliding door will be installed (but only after the floor will be laid). We'll keep you posted with the progress. On a positive note, we think that after this all the loud noise and heavy breaking is over. We are really thankful for the patience our neighbours have had these last few weeks. 🙏 The coming week we're looking forward to lay the bathroom tiles, finish plastering the walls

Week 2 Is Up

With some bank holidays in the middle, when everyone rested, the construction work still progressed. This week the bathroom started to take shape. As we explained in our post about the overall plan , we are going to expand the bathroom until the living room wall and take some space from the office room-to-be. We have one limitation, we need to build around the main water tubes that serve the whole building (those are pretty important). We decided to leave the tubes and water meter reader accessible from the office room-to be, so the bathroom will have a sort of L shape. Back in February we planned our bathroom and WC with Brugman and this is the idea: The key changes, besides the overall room layout, are that we will add a WC in the main bathroom (no more queues! ☺️), we've created a spacious shower cabin that includes a sitting bench on the left side and we'll move the sink of the small WC to the left wall to be in harmony with the door opening. And this is ho

Another Week Bites The Dust

Another week is over and, although it was a short one, the guys from Klussenbedrijf Chuckie kept working their magic! The structure of the bathroom is almost finished (check the mini video). On the other side of the wall, where the office room will be, we got the door frames for the storage cabinets. View from the Office Room 06/05/2020 We also got the divider wall in the master bedroom for the walk-in closet, and it already has the placeholder for the black aluminium window that will be installed. You can check the plans for the master bedroom in this post . This week we've also changed direction on the lighting plans for this room. While we were thinking about a central lamp in the middle of the ceiling, our good friend Jazmin Schenone (who's an industrial designer and a very cool person regardless of any titles!) gave us the idea to change our focus from the center of the room to the sides instead, and to play with cove lighting, led strips and indirect light . We are rea
