It became a complete metamorphosis; the restyling of this Haarlem townhouse. The living room with adjoining kitchen diner missed “it” for the residents, but they are unable to get the desired tension in the interior. Choc Studio put down a proposal in which a modern black oak ensuite couple with steel doors and a luxurious golden wallpaper set the tone. That gave the interior the required power and drama in one fell swoop.
