Modern family home with a magnificent panorama

This project was an experiment in using an almost monochromatic color scheme with a mix of splits, patterns and textures to create a neutral backdrop that will allow the owner to add life and color to the space with their belongings and character in the future. At first glance, the “almost monochromatic” palette is obvious, it makes the eye wander slowly through the space and notice the different shades and textures.

The goal was also to avoid stark contrasts and high saturation (except for accents, which are present in matte black). The result is a dwelling filled with many different shades and textures that have been carefully chosen to speak to each other and all the additions, without any individual elements.

As you approach the large two-story house with commercial-type windows, the framing of the copper old panels becomes noticeable, which begin to show subtle tones of greens and blues.

Three 6-foot pendant chandeliers by Pablo Design can be seen through the glazed facade between the first and second floors.

Upon entering, guests’ attention will be captured by the large embedded tiles in the 3-by-6 foyer. The metal staircase, when folded, is presented, as in the exhibition, in the center of the structure, with a grid of similar material, which spirals to enclose the staircase, starting from the basement and ending on the third floor.

The engineered white oak wood floors are painted in a light gray matte hue with a slight shimmer that only reveals itself under the light. The doors are covered in a dark grey tone and are fitted with black hardware. Plumbing and electrical fixtures are matte black, they look like a departure from the typical silver finish.

As you travel through the house you will encounter and explore more and more squares, revealing other experiences of a residential building, how light passes through the day, casting different shadows and revealing new colors, creating a connection between the architecture and those who live here.
