After the second fallout of the Delta Variant amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in mid 2021, our team working from home, and our client in quarantine, SDA Architects conceived Japandi Home. The initial brief for the renovation of this pool house was for its interior to have an "immediate sense of serenity" that roused the feeling of being peaceful. Influenced by loneliness and angst during quarantine, SDA Architects explored themes of escapism and empathy which led to a “Japandi” style concept design – the nexus between “Scandinavian functionality” and “Japanese rustic minimalism” to invoke feelings of “art, nature and simplicity.” This merging of styles forms the perfect amalgamation of both function and form, centred on clean lines, bright spaces and light colours. Grounded by its emotional weight, poetic lyricism, and relaxed atmosphere; Japandi Home aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort; minimalism that is both aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional. Japandi Home places special emphasis on sustainability through use of raw furnishings and a rejection of the one-time-use culture we have embraced for numerous decades. A plethora of natural materials, muted colours, clean lines and minimal, yet-well-curated furnishings have been employed to showcase beautiful craftsmanship – quality handmade pieces over quantitative throwaway items. A neutral colour palette compliments the soft and hard furnishings within, allowing the timeless pieces to breath and speak for themselves. These calming, tranquil and peaceful colours have been chosen so when accent colours are incorporated, they are done so in a meaningful yet subtle way. Japandi home isn’t sparse – it’s intentional. The integrated storage throughout – from the kitchen, to dining buffet, linen cupboard, window seat, entertainment unit, bed ensemble and walk-in wardrobe are key to reducing clutter and maintaining the zen-like sense of calm created by these clean lines and open spaces. The Scandinavian concept of “hygge” refers to the idea that ones home is your cosy sanctuary. Similarly, this ideology has been fused with the Japanese notion of “wabi-sabi”; the idea that there is beauty in imperfection. Hence, the marriage of these design styles is both founded on minimalism and comfort; easy-going yet sophisticated. Conversely, whilst Japanese styles can be considered “sleek” and Scandinavian, “rustic”, the richness of the Japanese neutral colour palette aids in preventing the stark, crisp palette of Scandinavian styles from feeling cold and clinical. Japandi Home’s introspective essence can ultimately be considered quite timely for the pandemic and was the quintessential lockdown project our team needed.

Ezio Manciucca foto Rinunciare alle porte divisorie non è una scelta facile, ma nelle case di piccola metratura, moltiplica la sensazione di spazio. Il parquet a doghe di 3 metri esalta la lunghezza dello spazio e e larghezza delle doghe che varia da 30 a 20 centimetri dona movimento. Non è detto che una parete debba essere monocromatica, in questo caso il riquadro blu esalta il quadro appeso e movimenta la galleria di porte.

JFI Studios- Interior design for open living. The brief was a simple scandinavian vibe with access to natural light. Natural texture really influenced this design as we ensured the tiles were thoroughly textured and the addition of timber and a concrete wall feature emphasised this.

Cette pièce à vivre est le coeur de l'appartement et je tenais à ce que les locataires prennent pleinement conscience de l'espace et de la lumière dès leur arrivée dans l'appartement. Genre : "wouah !". On a donc complètement ouvert l'espace, abattu les cloisons et un mur porteur pour ne conserver qu'un poteau avec IPN. La jolie lumière qui arrive du côté rivière a pu ainsi baigner la totalité de l'espace. Une fois tout ouvert, il a fallu guider à nouveau l'oeil, aider l'orientation en marquant les espaces ainsi ouverts. La cuisine a été mise en valeur dans son "cube" avec un coloris de peinture plus soutenu et un éclairage sous les meubles au sol. Le coin salon a été séparé par un claustra qui marque l'espace sans casser la perspective, et qui permet de venir appuyer la TV. Le coin salon est mis en valeur par l'application de quelques lés de papier-peints (Scion). Les murs sont peints avec des peintures lessivables. A droite, petit espace bureau dans le coin bibliothèque et rangement. Pour rendre plus léger l’espace rangements, pas de colonne complète, seulement des meubles hauts ou bas réunis par le papier peint.
