Sky Large Tunnel (gas) as an Atmosphere Creator in a Stately Building

A stately 1930s mansion, redesigned for living and gathering. For the Timeless Grandeur project, Inge van Poppel Interior Architecture transformed a former office building in Breda into a personal family home. Classical allure and contemporary design meet in an interior where the Element4 Sky Large Roomdivider gas fireplace occupies a special place.

A Fireplace that Divides & Connects

The custom-designed room divider combines the Sky Large Roomdivider with solid walnut slats. The wood gives the design warmth and rhythm; the see-through character of the fireplace keeps the connection between the different living areas tangible. This creates an intimate dining room while maintaining the open character of the space.

The high glass and the view of the fire from different angles make the gas fireplace a striking part of the interior. During an extensive dinner or a quiet moment in between, the play of flames gives the space an inviting atmosphere. A place where the family loves to gather and the evening naturally lasts a bit longer.

Timeless Class, from Kitchen to Dining Room

The new custom kitchen and dining room are located by the garden with a swimming pool and together form the heart of the home. Steel glass doors and skylights bring plenty of daylight inside. The wooden herringbone floor, the quartzite in the kitchen, and the refined wallpaper create a rich ensemble.

From the entrance and the living room to the kitchen: custom work, carefully chosen materials, and a thoughtful lighting plan connect the rooms. Bronze-colored steel pivot doors and designer lighting add contemporary accents. In between, the Sky Large Roomdivider brings exactly what completes a family home: the atmosphere of fire.
