Natural light in architecture and especially in your own home plays an important role for everyone and is therefore one of the basic requirements when it comes to planning your own four walls. And if you build your house completely new, you can easily design and plan all what is important. If you choose a finished and alsoold house, it looks very different. Because then you have to watch how you use the existing optimally or change.
The owners of this modern house, which was originally an old building from 1851, were also in the Victorian style and was located in London in the United Kingdom. Above all, the poor lighting conditions, but also the room layout on the way typical of this style, the builders disturbed, so that a solution had to be found. The architects of Flow Architects helped them with a fairly radical decision: for natural light andOpen living spacesTo maintain the house had to be almost completely torn down and rebuilt.
Natural light with a waterfall effect
The project, which should bring natural light into dark rooms, lives up to its name “Light Falls”. Because as with a real waterfall, the effect of cascades arises, only that natural light penetrates the living rooms in a cascade manner and the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces melt together. Since the building is in a nature reserve, the outer facade had to be maintained. In this way theVictorian stylein a way maintained and combined with the modern interior.
Large windows as natural light sources
ALight -flooded courtyardForms the center of the house. This, as well as the open stairs, allow the light to easily illuminate the rooms. In the dining area, which is directly connected to the open kitchen and the living room, this is also achieved by high windows. The whole thing is also supported by the use of light materials in wood color, white and bright shades of gray. Dark colors only serve here and there as an accent.
Natural light in the minimalist living rooms
The combination of straight lines and shapes and organic, winding such is also striking. While the kitchen and a large part of the remaining furniture, includingThe built -in crabs, The stairs and some wooden accents of the ceiling appear in rounded, wave -shaped shapes that are almost sculptural. In the evenings, numerous artificial light sources create the necessary ambience, includingIndirect lighting, but also modern pendulum and ceiling lights.
The garden
Not only is the large walnut tree an eye -catcher in the garden. There, too, they decided on organic forms instead of straight paths andgeometrically shaped bed. The small terrace is located on a lower level than the garden, which is reached via a staircase. White concrete frames the bed and forms an attractive accent to the gray paving stones. Another nice contrast here are the lavishly planted beds.
