Mas Fernandez Arquitectos is the design firm behind the Maitencillo House, a single-storey residence located in the Chilean countryside. A vivid turquoise door provides a dash of color in this otherwise monochromatic asphalt-clad home.
Working with a limited budget, the architects chose a rectangular layout to maximize space. The architects explain, "The root of the project arises from basic geometric figure the rectangle, which allows a simple location of the house in the area, taking into account the orientation and the views."
The timber-planked interior contrasts nicely with the asphalt exterior, creating a distinctly nautical aesthetic. The vibrant front door opens into an open-concept kitchen, living and dining area, which is framed by a sliding glass door which opens towards the garden.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Nautical-inspired Home Design
- Asphalt exteriors, vibrant front doors, and timber-planked interiors can create unique nautical aesthetics, perfect for seafaring and beachfront properties.
- Maximizing Space with Basic Geometric Figures
- Designing single-storey rectangular layouts can help in maximizing spaces even with a limited budget.
- Mixing Contrasting Materials for Unique House Designs
- Pairing contrasting materials, like asphalt and timber, can create distinct house designs and enhance the aesthetic appeal of any home.
Sectors Adopting This
