Monolithic House Translates Typical Rural Architecture Into Contemporary Minimalism

There are many inspirations to build a home that come from one's culture; like the Scandinavian style which is using different style of roof than other house. Fillie Verhoeven once again brings this Scandinavian style when designing a house and the result is about to great. This style is very popular in the late 19th century and now the style is there and that looks awesome and really good inspiration when build a modern or contemporary house.

Let's move to the house to look how's the house look. From the front side the house is look very simple, so minimalist but at the same time very modern house. The designer brings the rural house concept and this house has strong image of rural house. While most contemporary house are using many materials and also various furniture to create interesting house, this house is only maximize the space available and the result is still awesome.

From the distance, the house look black and boring but, when we step closer to the house, there is a beautiful details on the timber used as the main part of the house. The blackened timber looks beautiful, but it still simple. The black timber is also be used to make the house perfectly blend with the environment around the house. 

While the exterior is simple, minimalist and black, the interior of the house is so large and spacious. There are few furniture, sure but they don't make the house too busy. Start from the entrance door, the large space is welcoming everyone inside. Some walls are made from the glass, the most popular material in building modern and contemporary house today to give large accent, but this house is already spacious in the real meaning.

And one of the most interesting part of the house is the roof. No balcony, or something like that but we can see something like small garden on the roof. The green roof concept is great and it makes the house looks more natural. The green color also create good combination with the black timber. The house has no terrace, but white stone are there, surrounding the house. The white color also create good combination with the black timber. 

Overall this is very simple and minimalist house design, and this can be best inspiration for anyone who want to build simple house with large and spacious inside, with garden on the roof. The contrast of the house is also good example about how to manage various colors into something that make the house more strong and looks awesome.
