The interior represents a simplistic fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design elements that invites tranquility and harmony into the mundane.
This way, the space is designed to balance the vibrant views outside, creating a quiet canvas that lets the landscape take center stage.
To further this vision, natural materials are prominently used throughout the home. The warm, organic texture of oak wood adds a layer of natural beauty and timeless appeal, grounding the modern design in a sense of place and history.
Hence, the material selection is not just an aesthetic choice but also a nod to sustainability and enduring quality, reflecting the principles of both Japanese and
Scandinavian design philosophies.
“We’ve worked to embrace the purity of clean lines rooted in both Scandinavian and Japanese traditions alike.
Additionally, natural materials play a pivotal role, imbuing each space with a sense of timelessness and grounding.
Soft textiles further enrich the experience with their textures offering a tactile comfort that softens and enriches the room’s atmosphere.”
-Peter Eland, Norm Architects
