Как можно жить в стеклянном кубе, зачем стелить a fuchsia bedspread, how minimalist can a kitchen be, and why are a couple of armchairs enough for a full-fledged living room? The answers are in our new article Why tear down what has already been built? This must have been the question that architect Ralph German asked himself when he first saw an arsenal warehouse from the Second World War. Hidden in the depths of the Alps, the building even had its own “name” — B47. The architect could not bring himself to take the life of a creation once lovingly named with a mysterious alphanumeric combination, and he decided to apply his talent in a slightly different, more creative direction.
This is how a residential building with a veryunusual internal structure and a rich military past. The wood-paneled interior consists of two cubic structures. The first is glass and contains the public areas, while the second is wooden and contains a cheerful fuchsia bathroom and also serves as a headboard for the bed.
The living area here is modest.armchairs of a lightweight design, concentrated around the fireplace. Probably, the house is intended to be rented out to vacationers, or used as a "weekend house". In any case, it is clearly not intended to waste time on boring gatherings in front of the TV.
Next to it is a dining area with a simple table andchairs. They repeat the decoration in shades: the wooden table is chosen in a tone darker than the wall decoration, the chairs are in a tone lighter than the floor. Simple and organic. The kitchen area adjoins the dining area - a small island includes everything you need, while taking up a minimum of space. The bedroom protrudes directly from the wooden cube and echoes the bathroom with its bright bedspread.
