For a very long time Mediterranean houses were defined by their warm colours, stucco walls and tiled roof. But the influence of modern architecture is becoming too strong to deny any longer. Increasingly, you will observe a blend of contemporary décor with traditional Mediterranean designs, like in this house planned by Pierre Bernard Création.

This trend began in early 20th century, but has trends have moved forward we can see a progressive emphasis on present design practices, even in a traditional setting. In that respect, the interior and exterior of the houses are now more global than ever. Come with us as we step inside this family home and relish the modern architectural exploits!

Dining on the patio

A large, partly covered patio can be considered one of the finest assets of this family home. Here the inhabitants of the house can gather together to enjoy a hearty meal or invite their close friends to have a fun time during the weekends.

The opportunity of breathing in the fresh air is a rarity now. So it should not be missed at any cost. The sunny atmosphere and small garden also look very attractive.

Overview

This one storey detached house is built on a reasonably sized plot. Here you can see a glimpse of the small but painstakingly decorated garden and swimming pool complex. While the surrounding greenery acts as precious embellishments, the tinted beige façade gives the house a warm look.

There hardly seems to be a more pleasurable experience than lolling on the reclining chairs and basking in the glorious Mediterranean sunshine.

Kitchen

The spacious kitchen is designed with a colour scheme that comprises copious amount of warm white, dark grey and pitch black accents. 

Shiny cabinet doors create a contrast with the other elements of the room including matte walls, flooring and bar counters. This variation in texture gives it a stylish look.

Dining room

A combination of glossy white and black furniture beautify the dining room. It occupies a rather small space in the large kitchen. A set of trendy chairs surround a simple geometric table. 

The Seppo Koho lighting fixture, which really acts as a stunning pendant adorning the entire space, is something which instantly draws the attention. The architect’s belief that lighting should “softly invite people to come closer” rings true in this space.

Living room

The all white interior is decorated with all black furniture. A number of modern chairs and a three-seater sofa surround a transparent coffee table, and a monochromatic black area rug is spread on the floor. A corner of the room is occupied by a modern dresser. Lampshades, some of which are timeless iconic models, are shiny black or white in tone. 

A number of indoor planters and flower vases are seen strategically placed in the empty corners of the room. The fragrance of roses and presence of the green plants ensure a refreshing interior environment throughout the day without much effort.

A quiet corner

When in the need of a quiet corner to spend time contemplating or having a heart to heart talk with that special someone, the owners can come here and sit down in the shaded space. It is a sundeck lacking in glamour, but it is capable of giving you an even greater luxury – the luxury of having a mute conversation with the surrounding nature.

Economy of choices does not lead to a poorly designed home lacking in grace. Instead, it teaches us to make the best use of the available products for styling a home. This contemporary abode can be a fine guide for you, if you ever want to plan a minimally decorated home.
