A home unfolds, a unique living space that integrates the use of arches in a subtle and gradual manner, creating a distinctive archilinear language. This design element, present in both the exterior facades and the interior of the home, adds a unique aesthetic touch
The arches manifest in various forms throughout the home, from archways and cascading ceilings to coves in walls and subtle curves in furniture pieces. Some even unfold into straight lines, adding an element of surprise to the design.
As you transition between rooms, the arches' language and finishing materials evolve, creating a dynamic and engaging spatial experience. Each room has its own unique feel, influenced by the degree of formality it embodies.
Formal spaces in the home are characterized by darker, bolder tones with more visible arches. These spaces exude a sense of elegance and sophistication, making them perfect for formal gatherings and events.
On the other hand, casual spaces are lighter and softer, sometimes even colorful. Wall paint dominates these spaces, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Curved elements in these spaces are subtly incorporated into furniture pieces, adding a touch of the archilinear language without overpowering the casual vibe.
The landscape embraces a minimalist style, utilizing simple, natural-looking materials. This approach allows the diverse shapes, colors, and sizes of the plants to stand out, creating a striking contrast that complements the minimal style.
The curvilinear language, a key design element of the home's architecture, is subtly integrated into some decorative elements in the landscape, creating a harmonious connection between the building, its interior, and the surrounding environment.
