NS HOUSE is a residential project by escapefromsofa set within a classical urban villa. Original elements like plasterwork, marble floors, and the main staircase are preserved and paired with contemporary furniture to create a balanced, lived-in atmosphere.
Each room has its own mood, while a shared warmth runs through the whole. In the dining area, a bold black-and-white striped table paired with Mies van der Rohe cantilever chairs brings graphic energy to the space. The shelves nearby are filled with ceramics, glass, and small sculptures collected over time. In the main living room, cream sofas, dark velvet armchairs, and a large circular wall relief come together around a herringbone parquet floor, creating a quieter and more formal atmosphere.
The staircase is the heart of the house. Seen from above, its open void forms concentric rounded rectangles that descend through the floors — a detail that is as sculptural as anything on the walls. The powder rooms are treated with the same attention: one is lined in blue fish-print wallpaper with a carved marble sink and a triangular brass sconce, while the other goes fully dark with black chinoiserie lacquer and a crystal starburst light.
In the kitchen, darker tones meet classical details, while the bedrooms are designed to feel quieter and more restful. NS House reflects escapefromsofa’s approach of creating homes where individual decisions come together as a coherent whole.
