History Shapes the Future
The house in Männedorf, which at one point presented its owners with major structural challenges, has a similar history. Fortunately, they agreed on their approach: preservation and conservation was the most sustainable option. The decision was made to gently renovate and refurbish the house. Work on historic buildings is challenging and many aspects are difficult to plan. Embarking on such a project can reveal numerous new perspectives. This is at once an opportunity and a challenge. The historic tiled stove in the house in Männedorf, to which special attention was paid during the renovation, is at the very heart of the property. The wall and floor are colour-coordinated with the stove to create a harmonious overall impression. The use of Naturofloor with its thermal conductivity also transports the cosy warmth throughout the entire room. Different colours and building materials unite to form a magnificent whole. It is advantageous for those involved and for the rooms themselves to be able to rely on the experience of certified specialist companies.
When passion infuses both old and new, the result is extraordinary.
For centuries, building in the Alps was characterised by the use of materials from the immediate surroundings. This allows them to blend in beautifully with the original character of the location or landscape.
When converting and extending barns and chalets to meet modern living standards, striking a careful balance between preservation and innovation is crucial. A refreshing contrast can be created by using natural materials - without breaking with tradition. Naturofloor harmonises perfectly with warm wooden elements and old stone walls, and brings modernity and tranquillity to living spaces, both on walls and in the form of flooring. Wet rooms can also be transformed into extraordinary wellness oases in no time at all using this unique raw material, which is based on white cement and quartz sand. In these rooms in particular, the challenge is often that the surfaces are uneven or very small. As Naturofloor is levelled, even curves and recesses are no obstacle. The Naturofloor colour palette is based on the colours of nature and, with 210 shades, offers the opportunity to create both bright accents and a cosy touch with earthy nuances.
