This house belongs to a young, beautiful, active, and ambitious couple with two children. The parents are engaged in business, and in their free time they love to travel, play golf, swim together as a family, and go to the spa. The motto of their family is movement is life!
The 1222 m² house consists of two floors. On the ground floor there is an entrance area with a wardrobe, a 170 m² open-plan space combining the living room, dining room, and show kitchen, as well as a professional kitchen for guest chefs, a children’s playroom, a guest bathroom, a 120 m² terrace with barbecue, lounge area, and access to the garden, a 12 m² pool with a salt room and hammam, a laundry, and an apartment for staff. The second floor accommodates the master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom, two children’s rooms, and a guest bedroom.
The main theme of this contemporary interior was a harmonious connection with the surrounding nature. The house is organically integrated into a Japanese-style landscape, and the interior became an ode to minimalism, tranquility, and deep respect for nature. The result is a space where functionality meets aesthetics and every element carries meaning, referring to the philosophy of wabi-sabi — the acceptance of imperfection and the transience of beauty. The mood I wanted to achieve was contemplation, meditation, and the pursuit of balance.
First, the use of natural materials — wood, stone, brass, and mirrors. They bring warmth, texture, and organic quality into the home, erasing the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Second, the restrained color palette, based on muted, natural tones: beige, ivory, brown, and green. Bright accents, if they appear, are minimal and natural in character. Third, the abundance of light and air, achieved through large curtain-free windows and a minimal amount of furniture.
Rock gardens, bonsai, and ikebana, as elements of landscape design, are seamlessly woven into the interior, creating an atmosphere of calm and serenity. This is not just design, but a way of life — a philosophy of perceiving the world where the beauty of simplicity and naturalness is valued.
In every project where the interior becomes an extension of the landscape, the most important thing is to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces — the feeling of unity with nature that permeates every corner of the house. This is not just design, but a philosophy embodied in materials and forms. The most striking elements are often the panoramic windows that blur the boundaries between the house and the garden. They frame picturesque views, turning them into living paintings that change their appearance depending on the season and time of day. I am especially proud of projects where it is possible to create a sense of naturalness that conceals painstaking work and attention to detail. Every element — from the carefully chosen stone in the garden to the vase on the shelf — plays its part in creating a harmonious whole.
