THE EMOTIONAL BOND OF WOOD AND GREENERY

In a Spanish house where the design is inspired by nature between Japandi style, minimalism and sophisticated touches, an atmosphere of calm and tranquility is created.

The owner of this apartment is a young woman who travels constantly, both for business and pleasure. For this reason, when it came to building his home, he aspired to an intimate and relaxing atmosphere in a space where he could rest and find a quiet refuge after a long day at work.

So, she relied on the duo Marta Szczepanska and Paulina Szeroczynska of MAP Studio, two architects who are completely at ease in creating spaces that are calm and minimalist, but at the same time sophisticated and warm. “The holistic approach to interior design makes people feel good and comfortable in their home.”

They wanted to create a home in which to recharge their batteries and came up with a Japanese-inspired project. The layout is open-plan, with a common space shared between the living room, dining room and kitchen. All the rooms exude the same chromatic harmony, with natural tones as the common thread of the furnishings: “The colors chosen for the apartment are vividly reminiscent of places like Kenya. Warm, saturated browns and shades of green go very well together and are bright environments, especially if they are the backdrop to a collection of beautiful potted plants.”


The materials have also been chosen to speak of Nature and tranquility. Although there is no shortage of bolder details in the apartment, in the form of patterns decorating the kitchen worktop in natural stone or on the stoneware bathroom tiles, most of the finishes are smooth and pleasant, in line with the great harmony and homogeneity of materials: wood, microcement, earth-colored porcelain tiles, pieces of stained oak and some natural fiber elements.

Natural light, filtered by linen curtains, comes into play as an additional decorative element complemented by a warm and carefully chosen artificial light.
