Text description provided by the architects. For me, every new housing project is a new relationship. As we all know, every new relationship comes along with its unique experiences and challenges. The main challenge this time was how architecture can evolve through the abundant use of bold colors.
Now let’s start from the beginning... The owner is a young man who is just about to start his family dream, his favorite movie is “Star Wars” and his favorite game is “Rubik’s Cube”, therefore a color palette of white, blue, green, red, yellow and orange (Rubik colors), has been carefully chosen. The living space becomes white, both bedrooms are painted green and yellow, the bathroom is covered with bright red tiles, and blue details – furniture, are carefully scattered throughout the house.
It’s like the architect decided to start a color “war” with the dominating diffused orange color. The house becomes a personal experience, physically and emotionally. The result is a dramatic architectural experience that pleases the playful owner’s eye as it creates an elegant whimsical house that will accommodate his own galaxy of heroes.
