“Architecture is not about the form but the space. The play of light and shadow, and the balance between the two, is the essence of the experience of architecture.” – Tadao Ando
This exceptional project was created with a young couple in mind, who decided to swap city life for peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the agglomeration. Seeking tranquility in a natural environment, we created a dream home for them – spacious, filled with light, and made of natural materials.
At the heart of the design, we maximized the use of natural daylight – very large glazing brings an enormous amount of natural light into the interior, making the main area – the living room connected to the kitchen – spacious, bright, and full of life.
The dominant color palette consists of light, neutral shades that add a sense of lightness to the space, while anthracite accents introduce a modern touch. We also incorporated accents of natural stone – Patagonia quartzite, which appears in various parts of the house: the living room, TV unit, and kitchen. Its unique structure and depth perfectly complement the entire space.
In the living room, we used wood on the sloped ceilings, another authentic material, and added subtle backlighting and elegant lighting fixtures, creating a play of light and shadow in the interior.
In the entry hall, we decided to create a space that serves as inspiration for the whole house. The tree planted outside seems as if it belongs inside, symbolizing the connection with nature. We also designed a seating area here so that the residents can fully relax and enjoy the view of the tree and the surroundings.
This home design is the perfect combination of light, natural materials, and exceptional aesthetics. The authentic textures of stone and wood create a space full of class, comfort, and refined style – ideal for a couple looking for their place on earth, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
