The Luker House by Jamie Fobert Architects boasts a brick-constructed facade and an interior that reveals concrete design details. This modernist home embraces simplicity and features an open-concept design that is spacious and naturally lit.

Mixing modern and traditional techniques, Luker House is a true symbol of clean minimalism. The [brick residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobremesa-house) is located in Barnes village, a London suburb that boats unusual planes and surfaces. The home's simple design features a [secluded courtyard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lima-house) that blends its exterior and interior designs together.

The home connects with nature and is surprisingly warm and inviting despite of its [brick and concrete design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamat-house). The family residence is filled with leveled planes and layered angles that add a touch of visual interest to its otherwise minimalist design aesthetic.
