Strong, mysterious and timeless. The use of dusky colors in the exterior of the featured house adds to its appeal as the shades of gray and black highlight the hard lines of the modern design. Even the windows are tinted and the monochrome scheme is a stark contrast to well-placed natural elements such as the wooden accents in the garage and the green lawn.
Much of the first floor is taken up by an open floor plan that consists of a 21 square meter living area that flows into a kitchen and dining area. On the other side of the house is the bathroom and storage as well as a double garage that’s approximately 40.9 square meters.
