Minimalism and cosiness in one? Is it possible and why are the two terms mutually exclusive? Completely or not at all. Housing minimalistic does not mean a bare living space and white color everywhere. Few pieces of furniture and clear lines make the apartment tidy, calmer and larger. Natural materials, such as wood and stone, bring living structure, revitalize areas and radiation. The use of natural materials also makes minimalism more comfortable.
Minimalism meets cosiness: a house in Jackson, Wyoming
In England, McLean Quinlan architects combined and minimalistically combined and implement a private house in the mountains, near Jackson, Wyoming, USA. The project fits perfectly into the area and obtains itWith the help of contemporary architecturewith one. The love of the location is shown in the construction plan of the house, which basically runs on a living level and enables wonderful views on all sides.
Natural materials for a harmonious feeling of living
Only high -quality natural materials such as wood and natural stone are used in both the exterior and inside. Large panoramic windows open the interior outwards and offer a wonderful view of the picturesque landscape. As a result, the daylight falls in from all sides and makes the interior be inviting and very positive.
The house is placed relatively in the middle of the property in order to optimally adapt to the environment and to connect to the appearance of nature. The common rooms - kitchen, dining area and living room are located in a room that slowly invites you to a terrace with a pool.
Large panoramic windows ensure light and nature closeness
In the interior through the large -format windows you create an immediate view of the surrounding nature, the mountains, fields and hills. The simple interior design does not distract the viewer's attention and creates a quiet living ambience. The furniture and the complete equipment are made of light wood, which positively convinces with its natural optics. They are very simple, you can even say minimalistically.
A contemporary design with a European influence
The architecture is a contemporary mix of European and American hut. Home accessories and small furniture are missing here. In the design of the house, both outside and inside, natural materials are used, such as natural stone, wood, plaster and glass. A completely natural design is targeted that gently passes into the natural landscape. Young cedar trees are grown around the house, which would form a natural barrier after a few years and donate beautiful shadows. Over time, the stone roof is covered by Lichen and the building is totally fusion into the area.
Reduced to the essentials, minimalist living does not have to contradict cosiness and living comfort. This creates an atmosphere that does not distract the eye. By using soft and natural materials, minimalism and cozy living are successful.
