Is it possible to make a house out of a cave?To find out, we are going on a sea voyage to the southern coast of Uruguay. We are sure that what you see will impress you so much that you will look for all sorts of ways to repeat this interior. Man and nature can exist together without harming each other. A striking proof of this is the amazing cave house built on the ocean shore. It is located in Punta del Este (south of Uruguay), and a loving couple lives in it.
Love conquers the rocks
The uniqueness of this house is thatIt is built into a cliff, next to the ocean. Boulders, wooden beams and sand became the building materials that formed its foundation. The idea of creating their own home here was born in a man and a woman when they met here, on the ocean shore, more than ten years ago and fell in love. They decided to build a house together in a place that was memorable for them. The cliff became the peak that they had to conquer together. And they did it successfully. It is not for nothing that there is a saying that love can move mountains. This is the case. The lovers built their home themselves. It took a lot of time. But their home is filled with warmth and love and is one of a kind, which they are incredibly proud of.
Natural building materials and marine style
The owners of the house drew inspiration from nature.Simplicity and naturalness formed the basis of the interior. It is not surprising that the owners chose a universal marine style. It can be used both in luxury villas (in the manner of fashionable yachts), and in city apartments and, as it turned out, in such unusual dwellings. Characteristic features of the style are rough finish, natural unprocessed materials, wooden beams on the ceiling. All this gives the space intimacy and coziness. Apparently, the owner of the house is a former fisherman, so he transferred his love for the sea to the interior. Once in this cave he kept nets for catching fish and mussels. Now it is a full-fledged home.
Cave Tour
One room is occupied by a kitchen with a largewooden table and open shelves. Part of the wall is left unpainted, it also serves as original shelves for various small items. Another room is divided into three zones: for sleeping, for resting and for working. A minimal set of furniture and interesting decorative items make the house special. In the rest area, the role of a sofa is played by a special place made of stones. To make it comfortable to sit on, decorative pillows and a thick bedspread were placed here. This solution once again points to the naturalness and simplicity of the interior, its connection with the nature and the sea surrounding the cave. And the effect is enhanced by the pebbles, which are collected in a round metal mesh standing in the middle of the room. Judging by the cozy atmosphere that reigns in the cave house, we can judge that it is the hostess who creates it. She softens the roughness of the materials with pleasant decorative items, pillows, bedding of her own making. We can assume that in her youth she worked in a fashion studio and was engaged in sewing.
Colors of the sea
The color scheme of the marine style is light and airy.To prevent the room from looking gloomy, the stone walls, clay floor and wooden ceiling were painted white. Light blue textiles and some decorative elements were selected in the same color palette. It turned out simple and beautiful. The classics of the genre are white and blue colors and stripes. Our opinion: - If you want to design the interior in a marine style that will remind you of yacht cabins, instead of the classic white and blue range, choose beige, brown and green colors.
Porthole and stained glass windows
Daylight enters the home throughsmall triangular windows. One of them has a small stained glass window. The sun's rays pass through the colored glass and paint the space with multi-colored shades. A small interior detail emphasizes the uniqueness of this house. Of course, the porthole adds to the marine theme. It looks stylish and emphasizes the individuality of this interior. Thanks to its smooth lines and curves, it gives the room softness. Through it, the owners of the house enjoy the ocean beauty, which fascinates with its spaciousness.
