This house is located in Cortalloid and designed by Switzerland-based
Architecture Studio Frundgallina. The place shows reminiscences of both Nordic and
Japanese architectures with its monochromatic tones and minimal lines. I
tend not to like flooring built in different materials because they interrupt the natural flow of space, especially in open ones. But, in this case, the use of concrete next to wooden
floors works very well and underline the different atmospheres the
architects thought for each room: a functional, essential approach for
the kitchen and a more domestic one for the living and communal rooms.

I really love both influences too. I admire the Japanese minimalism although I am mostly inspired by their amazing ceramics. Plus, Japan is still on my travel bucket list!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Japanese design and Scandinavian design are so similar in many ways. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIts interesting how it mix together giving a new perspective. Great post. Thanks for sharing E. Kind regards.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, thank you! I have the same appreciation for both influences. And yes, completely agree with Iris how similar they are. Having visited both sides of the world, I feel an even stronger love affair with them. The architecture in Japan is beyond this world as well, merging their traditional customs/living to ultra-modern application. Love it.
