Japandi harmony and organic minimalism in a stunning modern home
A house that opens onto the garden, with an interior based on the Japandi style, which combines Scandinavian cosiness with Japanese minimalism. Sand-toned textured walls, warm oak flooring, furniture with soft forms and floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

01 / Entrance hall
A round mirror and a bouclé bench on arrival.
The interior of the house is based on the Japandi style, which combines Scandinavian cosiness with Japanese minimalism. The sand-toned textured walls and the warm oak flooring run through the whole house.
A large round mirror makes the entrance hall feel more spacious. A built-in bouclé bench and a clean-lined console table stand along the wall, and the arched ceiling gives the space a subtle architectural rhythm right from the entrance.

Throughout the house
Textured walls
A sand-toned, structured limewash finish covers the walls from the entrance hall to the bedroom.
Oak flooring
The same warm oak flooring runs through the house and links the rooms.
Soft forms
We avoided sharp corners in the furniture. The sofas, armchairs and chairs have rounded, curved shapes.
Large areas of glass
The floor-to-ceiling glass doors make the planting in the garden look like a continuation of the interior.
02 / Living room
A large textured sofa dominates the living room.
The living room, dining area and kitchen form a single open-plan social space. In the middle of the living room stands a large sofa in textured upholstery, with a raw wood coffee table in front of it.
Minimalist ceramics stand on and around the table, in keeping with the wabi-sabi approach. The sofa sections are also rounded, and the garden is visible through the large windows.

03 / Dining area
A cloud-like lamp above the wooden table.
The dining area has a sturdy wooden table surrounded by comfortable, organically shaped chairs. Above it hangs a cloud-like, rice-paper-style lamp that casts a soft, diffused light.
The concept is built around the floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Behind the table, the planting in the garden looks like a continuation of the interior.

Marble kitchen island
The focal point of the kitchen is the dramatically veined marble island.
04 / Kitchen
Handleless fronts and a marble island.
The kitchen has handleless matt cream-white cabinets that almost blend into the wall. The only break in the clean run of cabinets is the dramatically veined marble kitchen island, which is the focal point of the room.
A wooden niche and a window onto the garden.
The run of cabinets includes a wooden niche lit from within, with the dark surface of the oven beside it. An open shelf with storage jars runs in front of the long window behind the island, and the green of the garden shows through it.

05 / Lounge
Concealed light around the flat ceiling.
The lounge is a flat-ceilinged room, more intimate than the open-plan social space. The warm atmosphere comes from concealed LED lighting along the edge of the ceiling.
The room has soft, enveloping armchairs, a chess set on the table and a vinyl record player on the sideboard. On the wall hangs an abstract painting made with a 3D plaster technique.
A concealed strip of light frames the flat ceiling of the lounge. A chess set sits on the curved coffee table and a vinyl record player on the sideboard.

The bedroom looks onto the garden.
In the bedroom, the bed frame almost blends into the soft rug and the textured walls. Softly draped, translucent curtains filter the view.

A few details from the visualisations. The close-ups clearly show the materials of the lamp, the upholstery, the ceramics and the wall finishes.

08 / Material selection
Bouclé, limewash and raw wood.
The house is built on tactile surfaces: bouclé fabrics, structured limewash paint on the walls and raw wood. The colours are close in tone, so the surfaces are distinguished more by their texture.

A warm, monochrome palette
The beige, sand, cream and off-white shades are broken only by the wood and the green of the plants. In the kitchen, the veining of the marble adds a stronger pattern.

09 / The kitchen as a sketch
From sketch to visualisation.
The handleless matt cream-white cabinets almost blend into the wall. The focal point of the room is the dramatically veined marble island.
The walls, the floor and the furniture are close in tone, and the difference lies in the texture of the surfaces and the soft forms. Behind the large glass doors, the green of the garden has also become part of the house.
