GREEN APARTMENT - NATURE AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

Nature remains a constant in the desires of those trapped in the center of big cities, among cement and concrete walls. And if you can not reach to nature, then the nature comes to you. This is the philosophy on which staked a group of architects when they renovated an apartment in the center of the Italian capital, Rome. In the heart of efforts was the green space, found in every room of the apartment, a real invasion of nature in a contemporary space.

As soon as you enter in the green apartment, the aroma of herbs grown in the kitchen hits you, say the architects of Brain Factory, who dealt with the arangement of this space. For a moment you think you enter in a greenhouse and not in an apartment. In the small seedling find basil, chilies and other spices that you just have to pick them and use them. On the wall, a few birds come to complete the picture of nature moved to a building.

The ceiling got interesting accents in the form of wood beams painted so as to integrate in the rest of the room, but leaving the impression that you’re in a winter garden. Viewed from the door frame, also the ceiling seems to contribute to the propagation of natural light in the room. The floor and walls make an interesting contrast, breaking the immensity of white.

The smell and the herbs, accompany you in entire apartment designed as an open space, bathed in plentiful light. A massive glass door slides between the kitchen and living room, leaving some of the light to pass into the central space of socialization. In the living room, a massive pillar dominates in the middle, framed in natural details, put into relief by a dim light. The walls contain integrated wardrobes and shelves, storage spaces so designed that they do not kidnap of the habitat space. The minimalist interior, designed in contemporary lines, is inviting, revolving around a light color palette.

The bathroom keeps the same chromatic identity with the rest of the rooms. Also here, nature is present in small green corners, which predispose to total relaxation. Near the tub, a carpet of natural grass completes the relaxing experience once you step on its bents, after a hot shower.
