House in New Zealand: closer to nature

The nature of New Zealand is famous for the diversity of vegetation and wildlife. For maximum rapprochement with nature, an unusual house of glass and wood was created.

For the construction and decoration of this house, materials were used that were as close as possible to the natural ones in texture and color. If it were not for the abundance of glass, it could have been mistaken for a hut built by local inhabitants in the forest.

The whole charm of the structure lies in the large number of open spaces and large windows that allow light to penetrate inside the house.

The large terrace is equipped with dark brown garden furniture. In this way, the designer made her look like a natural wood product.

The beautiful view from the terrace is complemented by decor items that also have a functional load. The large fireplace, decorated with rough wooden boards, gives the terrace a special charm. In the evenings, the light from such a fireplace will create a unique cosiness.

The plank floor also looks unprocessed. In fact, in order to achieve this effect of naturalness over the floor, you need to work a lot. Without special treatment, the wooden coating will quickly become unusable from the scorching sun and rains.

On the terrace there is a minimal set of furniture. Small lighting fixtures arranged on the fireplace and walls of the house will allow the use of this space at night. Additional lighting is very important when you need to move around the terrace or use wooden steps.

The house is separated from the outside world by glass walls - panoramic windows. This is a feature of this structure. All rooms have such a transparent wall that creates a feeling of unity with nature.

The terrace is covered by a pitched roof, most of which is also occupied by windows.

The rooms of the house are separated by a dining area located on the street. There is a large table and a set of chairs in the same style.

This area is highlighted by additional lighting fixtures. The roof beams deliberately left in sight give the atmosphere a unique charm. This place is perfect for family evenings or parties with friends.

The covered terrace overlooks the bedroom. Glass makes it possible to feel the vastness of space and freedom.

The bedroom is equipped with a large bed made in natural colors. Textiles combine contrasting shades of natural colors. The furniture is minimal: no bedside tables and open shelves. Two bedside lamps provide the necessary lighting at night.

Wenge laminate gives the room sophistication. Against the background of an untreated board on the walls, the glossy floor looks very original. This room is also worth paying attention to the uncovered roof beams in the style of a hunting lodge.

The unusualness of the bathroom also lies in the fact that one of its walls is completely represented by a panoramic window. Taking a shower, you can imagine yourself standing under the jets of a wild forest waterfall. At the same time, modern equipment gives comfort and practicality of use.

Inside the bathroom is decorated with a light board. A small room is equipped with the maximum amount of necessary equipment to maintain personal hygiene.

Glass partitions and shelves give a feeling of airiness. Moreover, everything you need is securely fixed in special holders and is at hand.

A separate small room is provided for storing garden equipment and household equipment. It is also made in natural color, which does not allow it to stand out against the general background.

The main purpose of such an original home is to relax in the lap of nature. Perhaps some improvements in the setting will allow you to create more suitable conditions for permanent residence in the house.
