Nature in the house

Nature inside your house

In this article I want to talk about my new furniture project, starring the nature inside the house, that I will always represent with realistic free hand architectural designs.

Let's try to literally bring nature within our city apartment, to breathe deeply, also at home; enjoying in your own home, that green atmosphere given by the plants.

A tree in the house, and is immediately created a natural mood, turning the house into a perennial garden, where we can grow our passions in green.

It will be like to live then, in an open space, with oxygen given by the branches of the evergreens; in a context of furniture that is inspired by eco-friendly materials, such as wood, lava stone, glass... always in full respect of nature.

House-nature, a global view

Here's my realistic freehand representation of a house where nature is the undiscussed protagonist. It is above all the attention, the big tree protagonist of the natural scenery, which invades the living room of this apartment in the city.

So I thought of giving primary importance to nature, putting it in the geometry of interior; creating a whole, including in plants and building materials, it is perfectly balanced. As a glance to the global scene, the articulated and asymmetrical play of wooden planks holds the scene, between which are interwoven twigs of the tree.



I then designed as a planking of wooden boards, which wiggles in the living room; transforming, from time to time, in shelves that intersect; in wood paneling on the wall, as well as in cabinet and planter for a big tree. Everything in larch wood, bleached effect very natural and bright.

From the drawing in global view, there is free entry of natural light throughout the day area; thanks to the large windows: with thin profiles in wood-aluminum, or where wood is the backbone of the frame, while aluminum is only the outer skin, which confers resistance to the elements. While for artificial lighting, the ceiling is recessed a bright band, to draw the whole perimeter.

The light is reflected on the floor in lava stone ceramic coated in white ice: a type of material that combines the hardness of the stone, with the elegance of ceramics.

It therefore has a floor, a mirror effect, almost wet, thanks to the undulations of the enamel surfaces that give a pleasant feeling of relaxation and naturalness, barefoot footstep.

The enameled lava stone, is produced by various companies in the Made in Italy, including the Ranieri for the processing of Vesuvian lava stone; while the company Sergio Grasso, for the processing of Etna lava stone.

In the foreground, the faux leather sofa in green apple, as a spectator of natural scenery; combined with a fresh carpet in jute.

A tree in the house

Here is the wall of the living room with a big tree, a Ficus Benjamin, especially very easy to grow in an apartment, and is one of the plants typically able to purify air, domestic, from airborne pollutants. In my design, just an exemplary potato, in a fortunate position well lit by large glazed corner; which extends almost the full height, equipped with fanlight tilting in and door side, with hinged opening.



Characteristic and functional is the planter in galvanized metal sheet, which is in the recessed portion - about 10 cm - in the depth of the floor; while the outer part of the reservoir is surrounded by tables in solid larch. Thus creating a first step which must then long into the cabinet-TV.

On the left, a wooden wall, constituted by a wooden partition of vertical boards, acts as a backrest asymmetric side, to the TV cabinet; and at the same time separates from the entrance in the kitchen, intersecting with the long shelf above, in which the branches of the tree are wrapped voluptuously together.

Kitchen in natural larch

Here's the kitchen all natural, white larch, glimpsed beyond the big glass door with two sliding doors with safety glass.

A snack bar corner, under the window, handy for a quick lunch: sitting on stools in metal and faux green apple leather, in tune with the sofa in the living room.

We note that the long shelf that proceeds from the storage wall, partition wall also serves as a kitchen-living room, and on it you can place decorative objects.

So the bracket goes to draw the corner of the room, ending on doors with two sliding doors: and here also assumes the function of support for the Roman blinds with two layers, always in shades of white and green, in vertical strips.
