White and gray: The puristic color duo shapes the house of the “Quadrant” house

Because of cool, sterile and boring: This color combination has successfully established itself as a puristic color duo in recent years. The non -colors convey calm and clarity, make the rooms look brighter and larger and are popular partners to both strengthen and to subtle nuances. They form a neutral background, where modern minimalist furniture and vintage flea market foundations can be effectively staged. The next construction project is definitely proof that white and gray will never come out of fashion both in the interior and the facade design.

Minimalist cleaning facade in white and gray

The builders commissioned the architects from KWK Promes to build a modern and functional house. They wished for a light -flooded domicile that throughLarge glass frontsopens to the garden. At the same time, privacy screen was very important to them, because the houses are close together in the area. A flat roof and a white plaster facade were also part of the wish list.

Already in the planning phase, the architects faced a major challenge. For example, the builders wanted a villa with a flat roof, but according to the local regulations, every house that is made up of several outbuildings should have at least one gable roof. The clients wanted to protect their privacy, but unfortunately the property was at an intersection and has direct neighbors on the other two sides.

With a lot of creativity, the architects have found solutions for all problems. They designed a house that consists of two construction volume and an extension. The first construction volume has a gable roof that merges into a flat roof, while the second and the covered terrace have flat roofs. The house is based on the private garden.High hedge plantsAnd trees shield from the foreign views of the passers -by and neighbors and thus protect the privacy of the owners.

In order to ensure optimal lighting conditions at any time of the day, the architects also designed a covered terrace. It is mounted on two metal rails and, like a podium in the theater, can be moved to the side. In this way, the modern cultivation fulfills several functions. In the morning, for example, he can throw shadows on the living area and protect the house from the strong sun rays, in the middle of noonOn the lawnstand and serve as a lounge area outdoors and in the evening as an additional privacy screen in front of the sleeping area.

So that the transition between the different construction volume is seamless, the architects have chosen a white cleaning facade. It better lets the modern architecture come into its own and the building turns out to be a puristic beauty.

Establishment in neutral colors

The furnishings are specifically simple and held on the minimum. There are several bean bags on the terrace and a small glass table. The spacious living area houses a white puristic cuisine with a cooking island, a spacious dining area in anthracite for ten people and a gray living landscape for ten people.

A modern sculpture and attractive lighting over the dining area spice up the otherwise simple interior. Due to the color combination of white and gray, the architects received a facility full of tension and created a contemporary ambience.

A colorful painting gives the room a splash of color. Otherwise, nature, which comes into its own all year round, plays the main role all year round. The sliding doors made of glass and the electronically controlled curtains have the border intercept between inside and outside.

The white walls, ceiling and floor make the living space light and inviting. It is the perfect family home where unconditional modernity meets functionality.
