Vahakni House-24 “Interior”

Vahakni House-24 has been designed considering the client’s requirement of having an open plan keeping divided public and private spaces without separating walls. Achieving this goal was possible by adding a void separating public and private spaces. The VOID represents a NEGATIVE SPACE that takes the role of connecting spaces and levels of the house. Separated private and public spaces are extending to the 2nd floor as NEGATIVE SPACES (double heights) creating open views on the 2nd floor and connecting both levels visually.
The interior design of this building is similar to the modern interior design style and its goal is to create a simple and uncluttered space. It’s characterized by simplicity, clean lines, and a monochromatic palette with wood texture and plants used as an accent. It combines an open floor plan and functional furniture, and it focuses on the shape, color, and texture of just a handful of essential elements.
