Concrete walls are no longer uncommon in modern facilities. They radiate minimalism and a certain industrial charm and are often used as a neutral background in interior design to highlight colorful accents particularly well. But even in combination with neutral furnishings and decorations, the concrete wall creates a perfect ambience that is not only homely but also inviting.
The house that we would like to introduce to you in this article also uses this type of wall design for the interior. It is located in Atherton, California and was designed by arcanum architecture, inc. designed. Modern designs and cosiness can be found not only inside, but also throughout the outside area.
The rooms in whichConcrete look wallsare not available, instead have furniture in gray color, which has the same attractive and elegant look. Combined with light wooden furniture, the result is a modern and elegant interior design that offers the best comfort and coziness.
The bedroom also lacks concrete-look walls, but not modern finishes. Large window fronts, together with the built-in fireplace, ensure comfort and the best relaxation with a view of the garden. A wall niche was perfectly used to provide storage space in the form of a built-in cupboard and shelves.
In contrast to the living rooms, the concrete look was used extensively in the bathroom. In addition to the modern look, this type of wall design in the bathroom has another advantage. The modern wall saves on tiles. The wet room is spacious and invites you to have a relaxing shower experience, and the small niche can be used as a storage area.
But the concrete look is by no means everything that impresses the bathroom with. There is also a large, modern wash cabinet made of light wood and a relaxing bathtub with a modern shape. Also worth mentioning are the large window fronts, which can also be found in this room and are otherwise rather untypical for bathrooms. They provide sufficient light to the room, which would appear darker due to any wall. Pendant lights in front of the mirror not only create the perfect lighting, but also provide beautiful decoration.
Outdoor area
The concrete look wall can also be found here and there outside. But first we will show you the terrace with a roof and a supporting and dividing wall with a fireplace, which can be accessed via the large sliding windows. It consists of a comfortable lounge area and a dining area with a large dining table that can accommodate many guests.
Nearby is the attractive pool area, which is surrounded by paving stones, concrete slabs and a lawn. There is also a small seating area with a table and chairs, which offers the opportunity for a chat by the pool and in the sun. From here you also get a great view of the house and much of the garden.
The garden is characterized by a beautiful design made up of different plants. The footbridge that leads to the pool area looks romantic and is also decorated with various grasses that are typical of modern garden design. This creates the impression that there is a pond or even a lake. There is also no shortage of trees and bushes in the outdoor area.
The concrete look wall is available outside in the form of a wall. This is part of the irregular facade of the modern house and is combined with wooden surfaces for the canopy and the privacy and sun protection made of strips, as well as with white plaster. A contrast is also achieved here and there through the planting. An example is the bed in the right picture, which is located directly in front of the gray wall.
A contrast is also created by house and garden design in general. While the house is very modern and minimalist, the garden was designed to be as natural as possible. One reason for this was that the existing trees should be retained and fit in with the overall appearance of the outdoor area. Could the garden have a more relaxing look?
Here you can see the house again from the front, i.e. on the driveway side. This is spacious and simply made of gray paving stone, but looks very inviting, especially in combination with the greenery. Pleasant lighting was also provided in the evenings and at night so that the outdoor area can be enjoyed at any time.
