Country houses in the style of minimalism are gaining more and more popularity in the modern world. But do not assume that this style only serves to create the interior design of a house or apartment. He is present in painting, and in architecture, and in the makeup of women. We can say that minimalism is a way of life in which a peculiar ease prevails, combined with comfort and practicality.
What is minimalism
Appearing relatively recently, in the 60s of the last century, minimalism was originally used to refer to sculptures of simple forms created from ordinary objects, such as neon tubes, metal parts of old-fashioned equipment, and other everyday objects.
Homes in the style of minimalism differ from other buildings in their perfect simplicity, naturalness, freedom of space, an abundance of light and the complete absence of deliberate pretentiousness. Thanks to these features, minimalism remains one of the favorite and attractive styles in architecture.
The insanely fast pace of modern life leaves almost no personal space for modern people. Only at home can a person relax and move away from the bustle of the day, and the interior of the house in the style of minimalism with its clean simple lines, a minimum of furnishings, utter naturalness and maximum comfort will perfectly contribute to this. We can say with confidence that for half a century all this has been extremely attractive for interior designers and construction architects.
Minimalism style house
Despite the apparent simplicity, where everything is at a minimum, the design of the house in style minimalism cannot be attributed to a simple project. It would seem that it’s easier to build a box, glaze it as much as possible and make a flat roof? But no, modern minimalism is not only simple constructions of neon tubes, it is a style that helps a person solve issues that are relevant to him by creating a characteristic design tailored to a specific personality that allows you to free up maximum personal space for self-realization and freedom.
Modern minimalism style requirements
Ultramodern houses in the style of minimalism along with the use of materials such as ordinary stone, metal and wood, involve the use of various structures from more modern products - plastics, chrome parts, glass and concrete. Lighting methods have also undergone some changes compared to the past, one might say retro-minimalism. Today, designers allow themselves some semblance of free thought in this matter and arrange the light not only around the perimeter of the rooms, as it was before, but also in the ceiling structures and in the walls.
Like everything in this world, architectural minimalism has both true adherents and ardent opponents, who do not like the simple and uncovered gray concrete structures. In turn, supporters defend their positive point of view, citing as arguments that modern houses in the style of minimalism are universal. These are extremely adaptable buildings that are easily adaptable to the needs of any person, despite their apparent incompleteness and impeccable correctness of structures.
It should be noted that one-story houses in the style of minimalism perfectly coexist with two-, three- and even five-story buildings, which are based on this architectural solution.
The project of the attic house with a swimming pool in the style of soft minimalism
The design of a two-story house with a swimming pool has several features - this is the use of only natural environmentally friendly materials, an abundance
open free space and light. In such a house, it is easy and comfortable to live both alone and as a family with children.
Layout
The central place on the ground floor of this minimalist house is the living room, which can be accessed from the hallway or dining room, decorated with a strict fireplace and a large aquarium for sea fish. From the dining room, you can get into the separately located kitchen room. Isolated from the rest of the rooms is a sauna with a swimming pool adjacent to it.
The second floor is given to residential premises - these are three bedrooms, each of which is equipped with an individual shower or bath.
The attic of the house is adapted to the rest of the needs of the residents. There are recreation and work areas, including a study, a room for children to play and a small bar with soft comfortable furniture.

The walls are decorated with plain colors without any gloss, the floor of the premises is lined with natural beech wood. The entrance hall, kitchen and bathrooms are decorated with marble tiles.
To emphasize the height of the ceilings, large modern lighting fixtures and transparent glass partitions are used in the design. The interior is completed by restrained, laconic furniture in its forms.
Minimalist Townhouse Project
For someone who dreams of a large, light-filled house, a project of such a three-story townhouse with its simple, natural design is perfect. The main design concepts of this house are: the use of natural materials, smoothly turning into each other spaces, the presence of elements taken from the hi-tech style, a wonderful black and white color palette.
Layout
When planning the layout of such a house, it is necessary to carefully consider the arrangement of the space, to correctly connect technical communications and other areas of the building. The layout of the townhouse is very similar to the traditional design of most European country houses, but this does not prevent it from being very comfortable and individual.
The first floor of the house includes an entrance area, a staircase lobby, a living room, flowing smoothly into the dining room with adjoining kitchen. It also assumes a guest room with a bathroom.
The second floor is fully adapted for the needs of the owners of the house. Several bedrooms, each of which has a separate bathroom and wardrobe.
The third floor of the townhouse is a study, a gym, a small bar room and a playroom for children.
Interior Design
The general appearance of the house is designed in a classic simple style. Clear lines, geometric shapes that are accurate in shape, black and white color schemes and an abundance of chrome details are the general design trends of this townhouse.
The entire interior of the building is built on a combination of contrasting (white and dark) colors, softened in some places with softer cream and mouse-gray shades, which, by the way, give the illusion of a visual increase in space.
The leading role in creating this ultramodern interior is undoubtedly played by proper lighting. It includes a wide variety of types of devices - from spotlights built into the plasterboard ceiling design to LED lighting on the edges of staircases and baseboards. The main lighting is provided by large, round, almost flat frosted glass chandeliers, as well as wall sconces.
The walls are decorated with white decorative textured plaster, which, in contrast to the dark floorboard, gives the rooms a sense of free expanded space.
Soft furnishings with black upholstery in combination with white facades of cabinet furniture, light countertops and shelves of shelves give the decoration of the house a certain formality and solemnity.
From all of the above and described, we can conclude that the project of the house in the style of minimalism is both designing the architecture of the building and a thoughtful design approach to the design of the interior space of each room.
