KEUCO furnishings in architect's historical house


Düsseldorfer Strasse is a street in the town of Mettmann which is known for its historical houses with characteristic slate fronts. In the not too distant past they housed the weaving looms of the Neviandt & Pfleiderer textile production company; today one of these houses is the home of architect Werner Sübai (HPP Architekten Düsseldorf). As is typical of slate houses built around 1800, all windows have shutters in the familiar Bergisches Land region's green. The two-story, three-dormer house with eaves oriented parallel to the street was meticulously renovated with painstaking attention to detail and special care in the choice of appropriate materials. Despite the use of contemporary materials, the intent was to retain the charm of the past epoch. Exposed beams offer a glimpse of the original building construction. With light-coloured clay plastering and fine wooden floors, the accommodations have an inviting and cosy character. Old favourites, rarities and designer objects stand out among the tasteful interior decor.
