Privacy and daylight

The surrounding greenery provides ample visual privacy, which was one of the residents' most important requirements. Besides privacy, the clients also desired abundant daylight in all rooms. The house was designed to allow the living spaces to be highly transparent to the outside, bringing a green environment indoors. Thanks to the dense forest surrounding the property, privacy is also guaranteed in these spaces. They are located along the hallway surrounding the patio to further enhance the sense of privacy without restricting the amount of daylight entering the house.

Minimalist design in harmony with nature

The soft, minimalist design approach is not only clearly visible on the exterior but also tangible within. By using colors, materials, and textures that don't overpower each other, a harmonious whole has been created that flows seamlessly together. The soft colors, subtle textures, and use of natural materials give the home a pleasant and warm atmosphere.

Line play and color scheme

The grayish color scheme is used in elements both inside and out, such as the window frames, all the aluminum work, and the architectural concrete. Together, they form a cohesive whole. Horizontal lines are balanced with vertically placed wooden blinds, creating a playful interplay of lines. This lends a sense of refinement and warmth to the predominantly sleek appearance.
