If you own a house that is not large enough, you have the option of expanding it by adding an extension. In this way, additional rooms are created that improve the feeling of living and provide more comfort. The house we would like to introduce to you uses rounded walls in such an extension and is located in the Netherlands.
This house is an extension that serves to expand the main house. Since this is quite small, the sufficiently large property was used to create a larger living area with more living comfort. The new extension consists largely of:Glas, has rounded walls and is essentially an extension of an earlier extension.
A special feature of this extension is that it has rounded wallslarge window frontsare combined, some of which also have a semicircular shape. This design not only makes the house extension look extremely interesting and pleasant from the outside, but also creates an original interior design with a modern flair.
Rounded windows were particularly effective in the bathroom. There, a giraffe pattern was used for the walls and white mosaic for the floor. The glass roof makes it feel like you are showering outdoors. The organic shapes of the walls create a cozy and unusual ambience.
Here such a design is used for the original window in the ceiling in the living room. This window in combination with the window fronts is responsible for the bright room atmosphere that lasts until dusk. Light sources then provide indirect light, and the attractive wall lamp, among other things, provides coziness.
Rounded walls are also combined with windows of the same shape. The small study, for example, has a round window front that is complemented by an exit into the garden. In this way, the room is enlarged in an original way and supplied with sufficient valuable light.
Both rounded and normal walls are covered with attractive and luxurious-looking natural stone. This allows the owner to feel close to nature while maintaining a noble environment, whether indoors or in the garden. Original sliding windows that disappear into the wall connect the inside and outside.
In addition, many corners are eliminated in this way. In principle, this is also the goal of rounded walls - to avoid corners and create flowing transitions. This is also the case with this modern concrete floor. There are also integrated lamps that illuminate the steps of the stairs.
You can see a very effective partition wall in this picture. It is located in the outdoor area and has a reflective surface that has an interesting effect. The design represents the same principle. Instead of straight edges, a curved surface was chosen to connect both mirror sides.
Rounded walls are perfectly combined with straight ones in this house extension. The modern swimming pool, which is a rectangle and was not built very large, also serves as a contrast to the organic shapes. However, the floor of the pool area is rounded again and separates the living areas from the lawn.
If natural light is no longer sufficient, various light sources can be used as lighting, as already mentioned. Both straight and rounded walls are illuminated from above and from the sides, providing the house with a harmonious ambience at night.
The floor plan of the house not only shows the distribution of space, but also the location of the house extension on the main house. Both elements form a U-shape and partially frame the garden. The extension provides space for the work area, a seating area and a hanging fireplace. The roof forms a whole and flows seamlessly from one house to another.
All rooms were planned in advance using a 3D project. Important elements of the architecture and interior design are the underfloor heating, the cooling ceiling, sound-absorbing panels and niches that practically hide the curtains. A really great implementation of a house extension!
