House 132

The concept of freedom presents a significant challenge for humankind to articulate. However, it remains a fundamental human construct, constantly being defined, explored, and interpreted in diverse ways. Ultimately, in any discussion of freedom, there is universal agreement that it is deeply personal and individual, thus subject to a multitude of interpretations and understandings. House 132 is conceived as an embodiment of freedom, discreetly situated within a forested environment to ensure privacy and seclusion. The interior design further reinforces this concept, reflecting individuality, personal expression, and liberation from conventional constraints.

The building's architectural design, inspired by the surrounding natural environment and client's wish for a forest-like atmosphere, is reflected in its minimalist interior. However, this minimalism incorporates diverse stylistic elements, reflecting the client's personality and creating a varied, eclectic aesthetic. The style, therefore, is not strictly adhered to, but rather serves as a framework, prioritizing freedom of expression as its guiding principle. The contemporary design, minimalist in approach, incorporates traditional and industrial elements, prioritizing seamless indoor-outdoor flow throughout the interior. The design minimizes solid walls, blurring the lines between inside and outside, fostering a harmonious connection with nature. This off-grid living concept addresses a growing societal desire to escape urban pressures. Consequently, the interior design reflects a timeless aesthetic while providing comfortable daily living. The eclectic mix of styles yields a complementary yet distinctive furniture arrangement, harmonizing with the indoor forest environment through an earthy color palette that celebrates the surrounding landscape.
