Country house design
Today we no longer see the classic villages. In the big cities, more and more towers are being built, and even in the smaller towns, innovative modern design seems to dominate. But our connection to nature and picturesque villages has not disappeared. We see it today on our vacations abroad, especially in Europe. The small and charming villages in Italy or the magnificent spaces of France where the moshavim with their intimate architectural design are hidden, these are the places where we absorb the atmosphere of calm and tranquility that surrounds us from every direction. The materials, shades, textures and precise combinations between all of these are responsible for the result that we would like to bring home. The good news? Designing a country house is not a dream but a wonderful reality that you can also bring to your home.
What characterizes the design of a country house?
In general, country house design focuses, most often, on single-storey houses. The simple reason is that these low houses remind us of the familiar farms from Europe, the mysterious villages and the large pastures. The closeness to nature and the earth is clearly evident even in all the small details. The dominant raw materials, for example, are natural materials such as stone or wood, clay or bricks. Whether you are planning the roof The tiles or the wall covering in the bathroom, the raw material that will be placed on the worktop in the kitchen or the flooring in the living room and bedrooms, natural materials do the job well and bring home the atmosphere of the village that we love so much.
Sources of inspiration: France and Italy
On your trips to France or Italy, you have surely come to small places that seem as if they were pulled from a fairy tale. In Tuscany, Italy, we can taste the culture and history and also discover them in the inspiring architectural design. In the Provence region of France, we will discover the symmetrical lines and monochromatic colors. These two styles are characterized by rough materials (such as stone and wood), with straight lines alongside the lack of symmetry that is characterized, for example, in the design of the roof or windows. Country house design combines all these elements and allows us, in the central cities of Israel, to experience the warmth and luxury, nature and abundance that European villages have to offer.
