What if an interior designer is given full freedom to create anything they can imagine? And what if the person who’s design it is for, is himself? Bertram Beerbaum describes himself as ‘the most difficult customer of 2021’ but the reconstruction of his own house eventually disintegrated into a fascinating symbiosis between client and contractor, with the interior designer as director.

如果给室内设计师充分的自由，让他们创造出任何他们能想象到的东西呢？如果设计的对象是他自己呢？Bertram Beerbaum称自己是 “2021 年最难缠的客户”，但他自己房子的重建最终演变成了客户与承包商之间迷人的共生关系，而室内设计师则是导演。

"It was a wonderful opportunity: a spacious area with a bungalow in the woods, located on the outskirts of Laren, where studio Kabaz is also located. It’s a very comfortable and pleasant place to be, which you can feel as soon as you drive through the gates. I knew that I wanted to make the house, which originates from 1956, substantially bigger and that I would have to expand a fair bit. I briefly considered demolishing the existing house, to construct a completely new building. The history of a house, to me, is a great starting point. It took quite a bit of imagination to create the desired number of square meters whilst also keeping the zonal plan in mind; but luckily I have a team of experienced and creative architects within my company. The house is set far back on the lot as if the house just appeared out of the woods. By using enormous glass walls on the garden side, the surroundings can be appreciated from the inside. Nature couldn’t be any closer: the grass and the trees touch the windows and when you look outside, it’s as if you find yourself in a breathtaking painting. The house is built in such a way that you have an incredible amount of privacy; there are no neighbours to be seen."- Bertram Beerbaum

“这是一个绝佳的机会：宽敞的林中小屋，位于拉伦郊区，卡巴兹工作室也在那里。这是一个非常舒适宜人的地方，从大门驶入就能感受到。我知道，我想把这栋建于 1956 年的房子改建得更大一些，而且我还必须进行相当程度的扩建。我曾短暂考虑过拆除现有的房子，建造一座全新的建筑。对我来说，房子的历史是一个很好的起点。我花了很多想象力才创造出了所需的平方米数，同时还考虑到了分区规划；但幸运的是，我的公司里有一支经验丰富、富有创造力的建筑师团队。房子坐落在地块的后方，就像从树林中突然冒出来一样。花园一侧使用了巨大的玻璃墙，从室内就可以欣赏到周围的环境。大自然近在咫尺：草地和树木触手可及，当你向外望去，仿佛置身于一幅令人叹为观止的画卷之中。房屋的建造方式让您拥有令人难以置信的私密性，看不到任何邻居"。- 贝特拉姆-比尔鲍姆
