USEFUL INSIGHTS
Inspiration for functional and aesthetic solutions
The following insights provide an overview of aspects that are particularly relevant to architects during the planning and design stages. They demonstrate how materials, finishes, transitions and details shape spaces, create atmosphere and support the use of space. Whether it be structure, lighting or zoning – these ideas help to design spaces that are functional and flexible, whilst remaining aesthetically pleasing.
INSIGHT
Healthy spaces designed from the ground up
Healthy living forms the basis of forward-looking architecture – and it starts with the floor. As the largest surface area in a room, it has a significant influence on air quality, comfort of use and the sensory experience of the space. Avatara places this principle at the heart of its design: certified by the eco-Institut and awarded the Blue Angel label, this designer flooring meets the highest standards for low emissions and sustainability.
Talcusan® is an innovative material used in the flooring, consisting predominantly of mineral components and completely free from PVC, chlorine, plasticisers and solvents. This enables the creation of aesthetically sophisticated interior concepts that harmonise health, materiality and design.
For ter Hürne, healthy living is a fundamental value across all product ranges and an integral part of every flooring solution.

Flexible spaces for new lifestyles
Flexible spaces for new lifestyles
The demands placed on living spaces are undergoing a fundamental shift: working from home, space constraints and flexible lifestyles are shaping design. Divisio room dividers make it possible to restructure spaces efficiently without taking up additional floor space. They create distinct zones for working, living and retreat, whilst fostering a healthy balance between privacy and community.
The modular approach allows for adaptable floor plans and versatile usage scenarios. High-quality materials and well-thought-out design enhance the quality of the living environment. The result is future-proof, functional and aesthetically sophisticated spaces that adapt dynamically to the needs of their users.
INSIGHT
The Art of Parquet Surfaces
The real wood surface makes all the difference – it defines how a room is perceived, used and experienced. A precisely coordinated three-stage finishing process is crucial: first, the multi-stage sanding process creates the foundation for a smooth, even surface. Building on this, texturing brushes create a nuanced tactile feel and visual depth with natural transitions.
Finally, the application of natural oil or matt varnish ensures lasting protection and durability right down to the pores. This interplay of sanding, texture and finish combines aesthetics, function and durability – and makes surfaces a central design element of architectural quality.
INSIGHT
Dual diversity: design + technology
The Sōya combines design diversity with intelligent configuration options: through the dual ‘3-in-1 principle’, the user selects a desired design, which automatically offers three suitable configuration options. With this approach, the range provides over 200 carefully coordinated solutions that combine individual design requirements with practical application and healthy living.
Planners are provided with a well-thought-out framework: each element responds to the nature of the space whilst simultaneously offering complete creative freedom. The result is spaces that are functional, flexible and aesthetically pleasing. The available configurations are: Sōya Perform, Sōya Comfort Seal, Sōya Pro and Sōya Solid.
INSIGHT
Seamless transitions for timeless interior designs
ter Hürne flooring connects rooms across staircases, transforming every transition into a design feature. High-quality surfaces, precise edge finishing and well-thought-out joints create seamless transitions that generate depth, continuity and a harmonious sense of space.
Each step thus becomes part of the overall architectural concept, framing movement through the house and visually linking rooms together. With this attention to detail, architects can elegantly connect different levels, enhance the effect of light and material flow, and create a cosy, balanced ambience.
