This is one of the most striking and interesting houses.modernity, made in the style of ecological minimalism. It is located on an island and is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and its area is 557 sq. m. Many, dreaming of a house, imagine it large, airy, bright and with stunning views from the window. If you are one of these people, then we will share with you an interesting example. This house combines minimalism and eco-style. The luxurious residence is located in the state of Massachusetts on an island surrounded by the ocean on all sides. Many people dream of such a house. The main character of this project is nature, while a person must organically interact with it.
Fresh air and maximum openness
Contemplating the surrounding landscape in comfortconditions – the effect that the designers from the architectural studio Peter Rose + Partners wanted to achieve. Therefore, the local beauty is visible from any part of the house. This was achieved with the help of glass walls and panoramic windows.
The peculiarity of this house is itsmaximum openness, and in the literal sense of the word. If necessary, the walls and windows can be easily moved apart, and you find yourself in the fresh air. And the bathroom is no exception.
Since the house is multi-level, it usesstaircase. Look at the great solution used in this case. Natural light comes through a 2-story glass wall. Glass is also used as partitions on the stairs. This technique allowed the architects to let more air and light into the house. Our opinion Pay attention to the finishing of the walls and floor in the bathroom. Since the room is relatively small, they used small light-colored mosaics. This technique visually increases the space, and the glossy surface enhances the lighting. The boundaries between the floor and walls are blurred, which creates the illusion of airiness.
Zoning: down with the walls!
Since the main concept of the project isopenness and contemplation of the surrounding nature, the living room, kitchen and dining room were combined. This resulted in a spacious but clearly divided room. The living room area is located a few steps lower than the kitchen and dining room and is delimited by low furniture. This allows for a view from the kitchen area: nothing should interfere with observing the local beauty. Our opinion The fireplace in the living room acts as a partition. Pay attention to the ceiling: the space is delimited by texture and color. Black wooden pillars also zone the room.
Furniture and accessories: nothing superfluous
Only the most necessary items were purchased.objects made in the style of minimalism. They have simple geometric shapes and help to organize the space competently. Several soft sofas and a comfortable armchair in the living room allow you to relax and watch what is happening around the house. In the dining room there is a fairly spacious table, at which you can gather a large company. Our opinion The main features of ecological minimalism are a limited number of partitions, furniture and the connection of the living space with the surrounding nature. As we can see, this project has achieved this.
Colour and texture: natural motifs
Wood dominates the interior, which is whyit does not look cold. Natural colors are also present here: gray and white. On the ceiling there are smooth beams, consonant with the furniture and the general style of the house and making the space more comfortable. They carry not only a decorative but also a functional load. For example, artificial lighting sources are hidden between the beams. The ceiling also acts as a zoning element.
Man's desire for nature isnatural. Today, during the rapid development of technology, eco-style is especially relevant. People who surround themselves with computers and tall buildings often lack the presence of nature. The house we looked at today is one of the brightest and most successful modern buildings made in the eco-minimalism style.
