A Modern Indian Brutalist House With Artistic Touches

Combining a crude Brutalist House composition with softer Indian interior touches, this fabulous home design is a dramatic blend of modern architectural principles and traditional Indian typologies. Created by talent at The Web Architects, this unique house was designed for a small entrepreneurial family with a creative mindset. In addition to running a flower business, the client is also a poet, while his son is an avid nature photographer. Built on a plot of about 12,000 square feet, the large property was shaped to provide a simple, functional home. A minimal material palette of concrete, natural stone and keystone provide a modest interior base for decorated Indian elements and art.
With a southwest-facing plot, the brutalist house exterior had to be shaped to protect its interior from the scorching sunlight and heat. An overhanging canopy was inspired by the mysterious sight of an Indian woman shading her face from the sun under the folds of a pallu or odhani.
A bold red sculpture draws a focus near the back door of the home, contrasting brightly with the green landscape. To prevent the architectural envelope from appearing too thick and disproportionate to the main volume of the home, the protruding case was cut and staggered.
The sloping profile of the canopy gives the structure a visually light result while reaching a deep shadow over the windows.
The sliced facade also creates three cantilevered levels. Various terraces are pocketed under the canopy to take advantage of the happy shade, most of which have abundant greenery and flowers. The simple entrance slides under a concrete canopy. It has a three-meter high door that is pulled out and embedded in stone. The front door welcomes guests into an impressively long passageway with seating arranged on the left and a waiting lobby on the right.
The deep overhangs protect not only the windows from direct sunlight but the outer walls from heat gain.
The architectural concept was finalized after studying the solar path.
The concrete walls of the home are woven with lumber, which provides additional visual interest without disrupting the honesty of the material.
The property, called Beton Brut (raw concrete in French), takes advantage of the edifying color and freshness of plant life both inside and out. Due to the predominantly arid climate of the region, drought-prone plants have been selected for the southwest-facing terraces. These temperate specimens also encourage an influx of beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds to the outdoor terraces, creating an amazing biodiversity.
As we move inside the home, we discover a magnificent double-height living room. Molded concrete continues to have a textural interest here, and provides a cool gray background for the warmth of rich tequila furniture. Living spaces are focused on the garden to establish a consistent connection with nature.
A highly decorative Jharokha makes a striking contradiction to the simplicity of the brutalist concrete structure. The opening overlooks the large living room below, creating a close link between two levels of the home.
The complexity of the Jharokha design is complemented by traditional carved art on the opposite side of the room. Many decorative pieces in the home are picked up from old Havelis, mandapas, and vases to soak up an authentic Indian essence into the home.
Interior windows create more connections between levels and benefit from natural light from every direction.
The staircase design features open wooden steps to achieve a light balance with the bold concrete surroundings.
Colorful artwork and round portholes add interesting details to the climb.
Up on the landing area, glass railings allow the unique staircase design to be taken fully without obstruction.
A courtyard grows at the base of the stairs. The indoor plants were chosen to help maintain the humidity level of the interior.
Two staircases are welcome in sunlight throughout the day. One, a linear slit-like opening near the wall and the other a dim roof lantern. A dramatic play of light falls over the textured concrete to create a dynamic setting.
Above, natural photography brings color and life to the design of the master bedroom. The moderate material palette of concrete, sandstone, mud stone and keyboard wood continues in the bedrooms to ensure a quietly cohesive interior aesthetic throughout.
A teak deck bed has a floating trapdoor design that leaves the floor space looking clear and untidy. High-gloss Mud-stone tiles reflect the furniture contours, creating a dreamy, watery effect. A beautiful plantation welcomes the homeowner outside onto the shaded terrace.
Striking planters, a comfortable chair and a small side table form an inviting reading area.
On the ground floor and site plan, we see how trees have been strategically positioned around the property so that when they bloom, they will protect the house from the southwest heat.
The garden is located to the west.
Once the floor plan was completed, it was important to ensure that sunlight coming in from the southwest was controlled to protect the home from severe weather conditions.
Car parking is arranged within the cool limits of an underground garage.
The architectural shape creates a duality of light and shadow, which also enhances the board-shaped texture of the concrete.
The home design communicates a great sense of space that unites the family without endangering individuality.
Areas of congregation are interspersed with places of solitude to provide a sense of freedom and luxury.
Despite its assertive geometric shapes and powerful monolithic appearance, the home contains an emotional heart.

Secluded Concrete Home Design Away from the City

A vast water feature flows through Preston Hollow House (Concrete Home Design), where it washes the boundaries between inside and outside. The slender stream flows through the home, interrupted only by terrace walkways and a soothing waterfall near the entrance, before ending at a large swimming pool. Designed by Specht Architects, this 8826 square foot home in Dallas, USA, also features a remarkable floating pavilion roof design. The flat canopy seems to rise slightly above the main living spaces and peripheral terraces. Corrugated concrete walls solidly shield the apartment from the busy street, making nearby houses imperceptible. Sliding glass panels create open, light-filled rooms with wide views of plant-filled courtyards.
The main architect, Scott Specht, reflects: “The concrete walls were cast with a specially adapted formwork that creates a corrugated appearance on one side while remaining smooth on the other. frameless windows, and running water. ”
A large monolithic majority of concrete is reflected in the pool waters, visibly doubling its impressive size.
Grassy terraces cascade down the sloping site, which creates wide, flat areas for recreation and games.
A gentle waterfall makes a welcoming, ambient sound at the front entrance. The attractive feature makes an immediate introduction to the water theme that flows through the property.
Windows are directed to the private gardens, creating green views for the spaces inside.
Inside a gray living room, a corrugated concrete texture is translated into a chimney flue statement. A curved sofa design softens the linearity of the modern fireplace. Rounded chairs complete the soft silhouette of the sofa.
Two mid-century modern chairs mark a second, separate seat on the large carpet. Two modern coffee tables bridge the gap between them, offering an extensive landing for a host of attractive coffee table books.
We pass through an open door into the kitchen dining room. In this space, Piet Mondrian inspired dining room offers colorful access in blocks of red, blue and yellow. Unique dining chandeliers begin to color coordinated accents across the ceiling line.
Platner armchairsdesigned by Warren Platner for Knoll, and a matching side table make up an elegant reading night.
Edge-to-edge glass doors maximize views of a tree-lined courtyard.
The tree line walks down to the surrounding thicket.
In this bedroom design, the wide window view is directed directly into the grove. A pair of chairs rise around a modern fireplace, where a soft cream rug lies a comfortable texture underfoot.
The bathroom offers a spa-like experience, with elegant furniture and fabulous natural views. A sunken bathtub lowers to leave the soothing green panorama uninterrupted.
A wide courtyard benefits from an interaction with the water feature that uniquely characterizes this home. The stream is equipped with underwater lights that throw water patterns on the concrete walls at night.
Continuous glass walls contain the courtyard design, creating a spacious view that reaches the depth of the surrounding rooms.
Colorful modern art adorns a pure white road.
The narrow waterway forms a continuous link from the entrance courtyard to the back garden terrace.
The floating pavilion roof provides shade over the terraces.
While the concrete walls give the architecture a brutalist hint, the lightweight roof aesthetic and slender supporting columns evoke elegance.
Abundantly planted borders plume the edges of the linear home architecture.
A wide driveway leads through the trees.
Retractable walls connect a kitchen and dining room with spacious multi-level terraces that are navigated by wide concrete steps. An outdoor dining area presents an invitation to relaxing refreshing lunches in the sunshine, while a fire pit awaits cool evenings of conversation and laughter with friends. An outdoor ping pong table encourages playtime for the children and adults.
The corrugated concrete treatment contains the linear home in an interesting pattern that distinguishes it from the graceful curves of the native landscape.
The bedrooms on the ground floor feel comfortable sleeping in Mother Nature. In the bedroom we see here, the main head is a canal tufa to complete the outer corrugated concrete walls. Vertical wall lights brightly highlight the statement.
The narrow waterway that runs through the home finally ends at the outdoor pool. A floating concrete stepping stone passes over the stream to connect two neighboring terrace areas.
The main place of residence extends behind the pool in a slightly elevated position, which maximizes the view. The large glass doors of the living room open to adjoin the living room and dining areas with the swimming pool courtyard, with a short set of concrete steps.
Exterior highlights show neat tree edges after dark.
On the site plan, we can see that driveways lead through the grove in two directions, offering easy entry and access points. From this bird’s eye view, it is also possible to follow the water line that defines this property from front to back.
The floor plan illustrates how the home is shaped into pockets that preserve the privacy of the homeowners and their outdoor spaces. Even the entrance courtyard is hidden around a corner away from a clear view of the driveway.

Creating Mixed Moods With Concrete Interiors

At first glance, a laconic material palette of cold gray concrete may not lend much to fluctuations in character and atmosphere between the different rooms and functional spaces of a family home interior. However, it turns out that the cool concrete slab makes an excellent candidate for flexible functionality and an ideal canvas on which to create mixed moods. In these two inspiring home designs, the use and play of atmospheric light take on the role of a writer or artist, writing and sculpting new scenes for life. Considered lighting schemes form warmly welcoming lounge areas, sacred family dining rooms, invigorating home workspaces and multi-detailed connectivity spaces.
A long fireplace glows through the concrete living room of our first inspiring home interior, creating a burning horizon like the setting sun.
A large swing wall lamp extends next to the leather sofa, where it is best placed to highlight the warm cognac color of the furniture.
The living room merges with the neighboring kitchen with a wide concrete pillar, which is fabulously lit by a halo of LEDs at its crown.
Textured wall panels and fluted door finishes playfully capture and cut through the atmospheric light that appears around the home, causing a deep shadow play.
Perimeter lights carve visual boundaries around the open concrete interior.
One of the many advantages of concrete decoration is that it can be molded into custom furniture and decorations, like this unique curved fireplace. An elegant leather chair pulls on the cognac colored accent that is started on the sofa. A TV wall clad in bronze panels connects with the warm hue.
The stone staircase design comes from a series of raised and lowered concrete planes, and colliding linear and curved silhouettes. This architectural conclusion creates macro and micro perspectives, each as unique as a painting.
Inside the gray dining room, a stunning domed concrete ceiling integrates the owner’s love for ancient European church architecture beneath a layer of modernity. Moooi’s Meshmatics chandelier exudes a delicate beauty in the center of the dome, where its scattered light unexpectedly converges. At night, the light becomes a sign of communion, where family members converge to share, discuss and comfort.
The dining room tends to party with a show of bright golden light.
The concrete kitchen decoration is warmed by the contrasting tones of a bronze and brown stone-covered kitchen island.
The bespoke kitchen bar looks like a luxury shop.
The face of the bar is shaped into compartments that neatly enclose the legs of a row of diners.
A pair of chandeliers drip like molten glass in the corner of the kitchen, where they highlight a sculpture Spinning chair designed by Thomas Heatherwick for Magis.
A slice of cool white LED light washes a row of tall units at the back of the kitchen dining room.
Glass blocks share light between the rooms of the textured, castle-like refuge.
Inside the gray bedroom, decisive, neat lines reach a soothing atmosphere.
Ribbons of focused light streak the ceiling beams.
Intertwined stone steps give the custom bathtub an elegant shape.
Modern wall lamps paint geometric art on the concrete bathroom walls.
Pedestal sink duo stands dead center of the bold bathroom layout.
Its own bench builds a unique window seat.
Light and shadow fluctuations create a sensory interior.
As we tiptoe into this treasured box of timeless elegance, we discover a living room that is adorned with decorative gems of world travel.
The intricate display shelf unit builds a grid pattern behind the sofa, which is evenly lit from above by an embedded light strip.
Roman Composite column capital characteristically displays smooth scrolls and curly acanthus leaves to make a striking heroic piece.
Quietly low-chromatic palette forms a refined and stable space that relieves fatigue and daily pressures.
Blurred paintings and carvings bring additional muted tones and textures.
Wired kitchen hangers descend from a beautiful dome in the concrete ceiling, where they illuminate a Wabi-sabi-style, deliberately imperfect dining table.
The concept of this home is based on the idea of a magic wooden box. This mental image strongly influences the center of the space, from its visual temperature to the close relationship between living room, study, bedroom, dressing room and multifunctional area, so that daily life is “open and closed” according to the desire of homeowners. .
Sliding doors expand or limit common space, facilitating coexistence or independence.
The darkly decorated multifunctional room has a contemplative nature, suitable for introspection, meditation and active wellness activities.
Another iron shelf and subtle mood lighting cover the home office with a serious expression.
Properly arranged containers form a curious, exploratory character within the home.
Treasures tell the story of the lives of homeowners.
Wooden ceiling is the prominent feature in the bedroom. The rich wood grain forms a dark canopy over the platform bed for a comfortable effect.
The minimalist bedroom decor makes “people” the main element in the space, to nurture a strong emotional bond.
Pocket doors close the peaceful bedroom of the joint workplace.
Inside the dressing room of the master suite, a bathroom mirror of interconnected circles draws the eye to an elegant vanity area.
Textured feature wall colors the room.

Stucco Wall Treatments for Diverse Decor Styles

Stucco wall coverings make textured backgrounds that provide many decorative styles. Their subtle inclusion provides a canvas that complements a lot of accompanying materials, colors and furniture design, without any collision or overpowering. These four inspiring home designs show how to use concrete stucco in modern settings for the family, young professionals and the advanced homeowner. Home design number one features a water-molded concrete living room with a cohesive play area for the little ones. Design two is where industrial concrete meets cool Scandi style. Home three dips into the realm of color, and design number four features a smooth capitulation of microcement in a refined, spacious dwelling.
This high home is located in Xiaogang, Anhui Province, China. As you approach the apartment on the third floor of the building, a prominent red door appears. On the other hand, an industrial-style open plan space is enclosed in water-molded concrete that makes a lacquered background for floating life zones.
A short, concrete room divider privately screens the front door of the directly adjoining lounge area. An entrance bench is hidden behind it, while a small buffet adorns the front face.
Behind the sofa, a set of smooth black wooden grain doors slides closed to neatly cover a children’s play area when not in use.
A small side table brings a moment of warm natural wood tone to the cool concrete decor that coordinates with a wooden sofa frame and matching coffee table.
Mature indoor plants and tiny cacti dot greenery around the moody gray interior.
With the sliding doors pulled back, the combined lounge space and playground form one large, connected family room.
A split-level floor defines the main living room of the children’s playroom. Concrete stucco runs around the perimeter of the children’s space to form one cohesive decoration with the main living room.
Monochrome children’s furniture and decorative accessories form a play area that does not touch the eye too much.
At the opposite end of the living room is a modern dining room. Ligna Wegner-style Wishbone Chairs are paired with a gray stone-tipped dining table.
A built-in bookshelf provides a decorative moment of warm wood tone between the living room and dining room.
Fluted glass doors separate the dining room from the neighboring kitchen.
The textured glass doors fully slide back to merge the kitchen and dining room into one fluid space.
White subway tiles build a clean backsplash on the concrete kitchen walls.
Black kitchen units give a stark contrast.
In the concrete bedroom, a wooden platform bed warms the look. An indoor plant adds tall greenery at one end of the bed, which balances the height of a tripod floor lamp on the opposite side.
A full-length mirror places a slice of natural light against the dark gray concrete wall of the dressing room.
Wood effect tiles create a contrasting comfortable atmosphere inside the bathroom. A small bathroom mirror allows you to enjoy a larger area of the tile in the compact space.
This Penthouse in Moscow uses a slightly smoother and lighter concrete stucco to form a lighter and airier feel interior.
The lighter background makes it a nice companion for Scandinavian-style accessories and furniture, like this elegant Scandinavian-style chair.
A unique shelf climbs the space between the living room and the entrance to define the two separate areas. Wooden wall paneling further differentiates the change in function.
The gray striped living room rug creates a soft island for a modern tufted sofa and round coffee table.
Two large dining room hangers drop bold black accents over the table that coordinate with two modern black dining chairs.
The opposite side of the dining room is lit by white and wooden Scandi-style dining chairs.
Floating bookshelves add a light embellishment to the textured concrete wall.
This 76 square meter home is located in Odessa, Ukraine. A small sofa adds a rich green accent to a quiet, warm gray microcement environment.
Indoor plant coordinates with the sofa color.
On the side of the TV wall, a small dining table is hidden next to an alcove of built-in shelves for decorative objects.
The galley kitchen has metal base units that reflect the light and shadows of the living room.
Inside the bedroom, a contrasting color scheme of deep shadow saturates the walls.
A copper-colored finish covers the walls of the bathroom and the side of the tub.
Floor plan.
Finally, our fourth home design is a high-end housing in smooth microcement. A plush sectional sofa makes a welcome landing in the living room, along with a coordinating lounge chair. A glass coffee table reflects light from huge living room windows.
The pale cream-padded furniture arrangement is warmly accented with a contrasting wicker chair.
The honey-toned wicker chair joins a natural wooden floor that floods the entire apartment.
In the formal dining room, a combination of wooden dining chairs and mint green equivalents builds a fresh look. The linear dining room chandelier straddles modern and classic aesthetics to form a lasting charm.

Small and Large Concrete Interiors

We show two ends of the size scale for industrial-style concrete-themed interiors here. Our first is a particularly large two-story home with three double bedrooms to boast, and some colorful accent colors to brighten up the mood. The other is a much smaller home with a one-story studio apartment layout and is nuanced with a more muted color palette. Both of these strong interior designs feature a crude gray concrete decoration extending through their walls and ceilings. Unshielded ducts and electrical wires strip the crude chambers. In contrast, the furniture is high-end with smooth edges and smooth finishes. Modern art and plants bring personality and life.
An entire wall of windows illuminates the living room in home number one. The green view inspires the introduction of indoor plants into the raw gray concrete scene.
A relaxed modern lounge chair leans in front of a chic shelf that seems to float just inches from the floor.
The sofa is placed in a corner across the corner from the living room, which makes the layout of the room feel relaxed and welcoming.
Nesting coffee tables occupy the center of the gray living room, offering a main surface to display another indoor plant and a number of decorative vases.
Modern art sculpture is kept inside the concrete fort.
The living room lies open to the corridor, where the same concrete blocks texture the walls.
Modern metal railings descend from the ceiling to the floor on the side of the industrial-style staircase, in polished steel crossbars.
Yellow accents color a somewhat minimalist bedroom. Open cubic liter units sit under mini-shelves that are attached to a wooden headboard that occupies the entire width of the room.
Stepping down from the platform bed, two puffs are placed against the wooden “head” panel, to face the TV. An oriental-style dining area is set up on the floor in front.
A second double bedroom was colored with sea blue elements to give it a different character from the first. Blue scattered cushions brighten the bed, and a blue cushion overhangs a window seat. A normally built shelf bridges the window seat as a convenient place to put down mugs.
Blue and yellow come together in the third bedroom of the house.
Wonderful modern art drops the full height of the concrete wall, forming a magical backdrop for a mid-century modern sofa.
Lamps with a curious light bulb are mounted above the bed wheels.
A small side table holds a cylindrical glass vase between two elegant modern accent chairs.
Thick cushions dress up a little reading night, lit by a neat little floor lamp.
The fourth bedroom is a guest room that contains two wooden double beds and a subtle botanical theme. Sheet printing cushions enliven the fresh white linen. Mini potted plants dress the beds.
Double-glazed windows show more of the green space of the home.
A group of hanging lights drop a warm glow over the cool gray corridor and industrial metal frame.
In the kitchen, the wall was covered with gray wooden planks that fuse with the cool concrete surrounding them. A warmer wood tone graces the front of the cabinets and kitchen peninsula.
High-gloss white desks bring a smooth, clean, shine.
A designer waterfall faucet fills the bathtub in an all-white bathroom.
Shower wall panels mimic subway tiles – without all that annoying chalice to clean.
The false honeycomb also supports vanity.
A bedroom unit is joined with a round vanity mirror to make a toilet.
Trying something smaller for size, we relocate to this industrial-style studio apartment.
Red curtains filter the sunlight from large windows.
A doorman hides away the bed, which is covered edge to edge inside a concrete cabinet. Directional spotlights and wall lights provide lighting when the privacy curtain is drawn.
Flower arrangement makes a light addition to the industrial environment.
Three bar stools face from the kitchen to the window view.
From here, we can observe a second door on the other side of the bedroom cabinet that opens it to the living area, and the natural light from the windows there.
The duct for the battery hood was left on display in all its industrial style glory.
Frozen glass doors darken the bathroom.
Wooden floors are drilled with a robot vacuum cleaner.
The distressed paint of a large recessed mirror adds a touch of light blue to the dark decor of the hallway / clothing area of the home.
The tall mirror is leaning against the wall, against a cupboard. More clothing storage units line up the rest of the corner.
Electric wires leave traces on a set of spots above the living room. Industrial style hanging lights equip the kitchen dining peninsula.
The concrete bathroom has wooden accents that warm up the aesthetic, while classic white ceramic keeps the look clean.
Victorian toilet design gives the space an unusual touch with its high mounted cistern.

A Monolithic Argentinian House Set In Stone And Concrete
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
This Argentine house takes on a linear, monolithic shape that dominates a green landscape next to an indigenous forest. Built with walls of cold concrete, the large house features a hard, brutalist exterior that can be seen from afar. As viewers approach, intermittent walls of rustic stone interrupt the smooth expanses of gray imagery, bringing texture and depth into rectangular cuts. Created by architects at Patio Studio, the house design is both separated and connected by courtyard areas that expand the volume of the home. The patio elements create an internal-external connection and serve as an integral part of the floor layout, complementing the main functions of the home.
Located on the edge of a sloping neighborhood, the house is blessed with green surroundings and abundant native forest background. The land on which the linear concrete house is built is suitably flat.
Apart from lawns, vegetation around the house is sparse. A raised planter was built at the front of the house to healthily balance the cold concrete and stone exterior.
A swimming pool embraces the side of a ground floor terrace, where outdoor furniture encourages socializing in the open air. The ground floor terrace also has a barbecue area and is connected to a volleyball court.
Soil was removed from around the site to raise the house to a rise of 1.3 meters. This adjustment raises the line of sight to pass over the neighboring grove and to a higher view of the larger landscape.
The upper floor of the home contains nine different spaces: the living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The rooms are connected by a passage and separated by courtyards.
Inside the home, warm and inviting atmospheric lighting illuminates walls of rich wood tone panels and matching doors. A homemade built-in sofa design echoes the elegant and linear aesthetics of the home exterior. Cognac leather cushions soften the look.
A stone fireplace cuts down between large living room windows. Modern wooden storage units fly in all directions.
Walking along the corridor that connects the rooms, we pass doors to terraces and many crude stone presentation walls.
On one of the terraces, we discover a complex view of overlapping interior and exterior volumes.
The ground floor garage pulls up along with the pool and barbecue, separated by a thick stone wall.
Eleven courtyards create voids across the volume of the house that separate the nine solid interior modules.
The monolithic concrete structure of the building gives the home an introverted character.
The concrete skin that surrounds both inner and outer courtyards ensures ultimate privacy from even the nearest neighbors.
Once the homeowners and their visitors make it past the secretive concrete armor that contains the home, focus is largely pushed to the courtyards inside.
The wide path that rises into the center of the house is an experience in itself, where glimpses of the landscape compete with bold architectural features.
A flower bed filled with delicate white flowers seems playfully contradicting the weight, solidity and linearity of the neighboring architecture.
At night, the brutalist house design is revived by a light that explodes from massive windows and open courtyards.
While the concrete entrance looks tough and presumptuous, it is actually a gently sloping gradient that serves as a non-discriminatory access ramp for all physical abilities.
The winding path draws a welcoming meander to the upper floor where the main residence is located.
On the slope, a look into the social spaces of the home is allowed through wide windows.
Raised planters bring a touch of the green landscape to the top of the elegant concrete access ramp.
The same stone and concrete finishes form a coherent material palette both outside and inside the home, with wooden elements added inside to smooth and heat the living spaces and bedrooms.
The ascending path rises to the top in the form of a question mark. Shrubs grow around the sides, mitigating the impact of its concrete finish.
Whether looking at the inner courtyards of this introverted house, or looking at the neighboring forest, the views are magnificent.
Bird’s eye view of the property and plot.
The courtyards are perceived as just another part of the house to be frequented and enjoyed as well as the other rooms.
Uplights bring a whole new character to the outdoor spaces at night, as they highlight the textured look of the cast concrete and the imposing steep stone walls. Shrubs make dramatic shadows.
The prolific use of wood in the interior makes a smooth change of the external image of the home.
The widget evokes a seemingly endless arrangement of near and far views.
Elegant outdoor furniture ties in with black steel elements embedded around the architecture and borrows wooden accents from the interior.
Concrete slices hang like huge Tetris shapes against the clear blue sky, resting on a green bed.
The driveway reaches all the way to the driveway.
The property is located just a few meters back into the plot.
Overlapping concrete slabs create a unique entry point.

Smooth Microcement Interior Decor Concept With Heavy Black Accents
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Smooth microcement decoration molds this interesting home concept with curved walls and a quietly coherent pale color scheme. Displayed by Eugene Schilnyuk, this unusual decorative scheme is rooted in an ultra modern realm, though a moment of Stone Age style carves a unique kitchen island project that transcends majesty and madness. Shaded by heavy black accents, this monochromatic home interior features high-contrast living spaces that are highlighted under spectacular round skylights and a modern lighting system that winds freely across microcement ceilings. The material palette and lighting scheme are consolidated in the main bedroom, where we visit a minimalist workspace and an open bathroom.
A black modular sofa cuts darkly across the white micro-cement living room. Its armless profile and low back give the piece a simple, minimalist aesthetic.
A huge round rug surrounds the black sofa with a solid gray landing. Its circular outline eoesas the large round skylight, which is located directly above the living area.
Two black end tables surround the sleek sofa design, which keeps the dark living room combination looking simple and untidy within the bright surroundings. A wide expanse of windows opens the living room to an influx of bright natural daylight and a panorama from floor to ceiling. Pure white sheets fall between the gently curved window panes.
The modular sofa is framed in a double aspect. One side of the seat overlooks a solid white wall for film projections, while the other side faces the fascinating view provided by Mother Nature herself.
Placed in the embrace of the curved window, two club chairs and a Sampei floor lamp
designed by Davide Groppi and Enzo Calabrese provides a comfortable reading angle. A contrasting white stone coffee table and a mature indoor plant complete the chic ensemble.
Another fabulous skylight pierces the ceiling of the kitchen dining room with a wide circular stroke. The shape of the impressive skylight is complemented by a large round wall mirror, which also reflects and exaggerates the daylight flow. Unique modern dining chairs add black touches along the edge of a stone dining island to compensate for the brightness of the space.
The unique kitchen island design stands somewhere between modern genius and Flintstone fun with its crudely carved stone aesthetic. Elegant kitchen drawers slide almost unnoticed into its raw side. Gas burners lie in the stone roof.
A ribbon of LED light coils freely across microcement ceilings, passing through the predominant skylight and weaving itself into the living room.
The strip of light continues intact through the open doorway to the living room, where it travels simultaneously with the curve of the wide windows, and cuts close around the second circular skylight.
The snake light show continues in the white microcement bedroom plan, over a modern upholstered bed that puts a bold black accent.
A curved wall of windows gives an enviable view around the foot of the upholstered platform bed.
A gray bedroom rug underlines the black bed with a lighter accent. The round rug also provides a deeply luxurious texture over the microcement floor covering to keep your feet warm and comfortable when you get out of bed.
Deep sides around the bed create a comfortable cocoon.
A small, slender floor lamp provides focused reading light with the cushions, keeping the bedside table free of clutter.
The design of the tray top bedside table spreads a wide round footprint that is softened by black upholstery that perfectly coordinates the piece with the modern bedside table. A suitable bedside table flies in the opposite direction.
A mature indoor plant grows a gently silhouetted buffer between the sleeping area and bedroom workroom. The high floor also builds a somewhat needed visual height within the low profile furniture plan.
The minimalist home workshop is formed by a custom-built floating microcement desk that appears to protrude directly from the material-compatible wall. Its huge surface gives enough space for laptop, peripherals, documents and other person to collaborate if necessary.
A white, ergonomic swivel chair joins the minimalist desk. Its black base interrupts the all-white arrangement, giving the area a sharp visual anchor. The black accent also balances the dark branches of the indoor plant on the other side of the workshop.
In the luxurious bathroom, the limited material and color palette form a resting scheme that is complemented by pale gray sanitary ware.
A round mirror completes the drastically worn profile of the unique bathroom basin. Black faucets dot the white cement wall.
Glass walls achieve a complete connection with the neighboring living and kitchen dining rooms, where plants are pressed against the glass. The self-contained bathtub lies next to the exterior windows and the spectacular mountain view. Privacy curtains close around the bathroom space when they are used, but when opened they leave the landscape view completely unobstructed.
An independent shower is poured openly into a black grille in the damp room floor. A smaller stand-alone bath faucet eoesas the same simple matt black aesthetic.
Elegant single bar towel warmers are positioned from the unusual basin, ready to hook a hand towel or bathrobe.
Wall-hung toilet and video merged with the tones in the textured micro cement background. A black reddish plate adds to the dark accent theme.

Microcement Industrial Decor: Minimal Interior Fuss
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Microcement finishes smoothly, shapes and contours the elegant interior of this modern 90-square-meter apartment, located in Lviv, Ukraine. Displayed by Ira Lysiuk, the industrial style decoration here is an unassuming and palpable thing that meets with natural wood lath features, oak furniture and soft creamy fabrics that prevent the aesthetic from getting cold. The simple micro-cement decorative scheme is free of fuss, which allows contemporary furniture and fashion design pieces to dominate the fame. The cohesive gray palette floods every room of the home, engulfing all the horizontal and vertical planes to create one resting extension that calms the eye and the mind.
A textured rug lays a cream base for a compatible modern sofa. The curved edges of the sofa are complemented by cleverly rounded microcement covered walls.
A single black accent pillow on the cream upholstered sofa was placed there to tie in with two adjacent ones Bernard chairs, designed by Shane Schneckis for Hay. A round coffee table is layered in a warming element of natural wood tone.
Black steel framed windows contrast sharply with the pale gray microcement walls, while heavy sheets quietly merge with the modern industrial style.
Directly behind the sofa, a combination of dining chairs, a dining bench and a unique stool make up personalized cutlery.
Twin black dining room lamps choose the black frame of the dining chairs. The elegant chairs are the Cesca President, designed by Marcel Breuer. The original was projected in 1928 and the name came as a tribute to his daughter, Cheska. In 1968, the design was purchased by Knoll.
The dining stool at the table top increases the seating without cluttering the view.
A glass wall separates a dedicated home office space from the combo of the living room and dining room. Black steel frames form a coherence with the outer window frames.
A neat pivot chair makes an elegant addition to the contemporary wooden desk. Solid oak panels hide a bit of built-in storage, while wooden lath panels add text and tonal interest behind the bed. The beige padded bedding provides a comfortable reading area inside the home office, which also serves as a guest bed if the occasion arises.
The front door puts the warm wooden lath aesthetic into a cool gray microcement corridor. The smooth finish combines both sharp and curved edges and a sturdy microphone floor, perfect for heavy fall.
A running-shaped wall mirror, a murmured entrance shelf and a layered hanging rail add black accent notes to the restful modern gray background.
The corridor to the bedroom is characterized by wide wooden slatted doors that catch the light.
A wide carrying column separates the kitchen somewhat from the living area, although all come together in an open flowing arrangement. A set of raised drawers bridges the gap between the awkward pillar and an adjoining wall to form an elegant peninsular bar.
On the opposite side of the kitchen installation, natural oak units build a modern rustic atmosphere.
Open shelves reject the need for a back splash, resulting in one solid gold wood tone volume.
Kitchen tower units were inserted into the gray microcement wall to form an extraordinary contrast.
A modern wall lamp illuminates the kitchen breakfast room. Pair of Tokyo stools designed by Rodney Kinsman for OMK resting on a gracefully thin black frame that allows beautiful oak lath face boards to shine. A black indoor planter completes the dark end of the stools.
A range of decorative vases add a homey touch against the microcement covered column.
In the bedroom, an upholstered bed appears to float on a cloudy white carpet. A running floor mirror has his foot tucked comically under the stack.
The inviting rug stops less than a bedroom reading area in the corner of the room.
The modern wooden bedside table coordinates with an impressive edge-to-edge oak with a wide headboard.
Dried botanicals lola in a clear glass vase next to the bed.
A creating chair forms an elegant reading corner next to the window.
Double sink bathroom vanity got the same micro-cement finish as the bathroom walls to minimize visual noise. The wooden base unit makes a warm-toned companion for a wooden wide walkway across the wet zone. Inserted spotlights and a chic wall lamp make up a bright spectacle of bathroom vanity lights.
Unique faucets add a bright black accent to every bathroom sink. Two black framed race-shaped vanity mirrors complete the contemporary bathroom ensemble.
Dual shower screens are drastically split in front of a modern stand-alone bathtub that stands on color-coordinated black steel supports. Twin extra shower heads swing on either side of the bathroom layout.
Recessed corners in the microcement walls make it convenient to store points for toilets in the shower, while a decorative oak shelf is mounted with the bathtub.
Floor plan, with terrace.
