The house, which is right on the water's edge at Vinterbro, is known from the popular TV series EXIT on NRK. Now the house is ready for a new Netflix series. In the newly renovated kitchen, Dekton gets to show off its best side. The house with its idyllic location has been owned by Bjørn Stubberud since 1995. In recent years, the family has opened Nebba Café on the site, and the place is under constant development.
"Everyone who comes here comments on the new worktop. The fact that I personally think it's nice doesn't mean much. But many architects, actors and filmmakers come here, and they are just as taken by the worktop”, says owner Bjørn.
In the house on the water's edge, the flowing blue lines of the worktop from Dekton in the color Trance dominate. The base color is a combination of cream colours, gray tones and narrow stripes of golden gold tones. The fireplace is clad in Dekton Neural, which has a cream tone with narrow, pale veins that move in the same direction.
"What strikes me most is the quality of the worktops. They are something completely different to anything I have bought before. A new kitchen has also been set up in one of the other buildings on the site here. I want to replace the new worktop there with Dekton, because I notice a big difference in quality”, says Bjørn.
The fact that the worktop has virtually zero porosity means that it is resistant to wear and scratches. Hot pots can be placed directly on the plate, spills from coffee and wine can be easily wiped off. It comes in particularly handy when the house is currently a workplace for many people during the filming of a TV series, and there is a lot of activity in the kitchen.
"Askim Stenindustri AS has cut and installed all the Dekton boards. I am impressed by their craftsmanship and am very satisfied”, concludes Bjørn.
