#7230. Industrial Elegance: A Two-Level Space with Concrete and Wood Contrast

This modern interior demonstrates a masterful combination of industrial aesthetics with the comfort of living space. The two-level construction with an open mezzanine creates an impressive volume of interior space, where the upper wooden tier effectively contrasts with the concrete walls of the lower level.

The concrete blocks forming the walls of the first floor are not hidden by finishes but transformed into an expressive design element, giving the interior a characteristic brutality and textural depth. The metal beam supporting the mezzanine emphasizes the industrial character of the space and becomes a distinctive architectural accent.

The lower level is organized as an open space, uniting the living room and kitchen-dining area. Minimalist furniture – a wooden coffee table, a bright terracotta sofa with geometric pillows, a stylish Acapulco chair – creates a casual yet carefully thought-out composition. Indoor plants with large leaves add life to the monochromatic space and soften the severity of concrete surfaces.

The staircase with its lightweight construction deserves special attention, seemingly floating in space due to the absence of risers. This technique can be successfully used when designing a modern country house, to create a sense of lightness and space even in a compact room.

The combination of natural materials – wood, concrete, textiles – creates a multi-layered, tactilely rich environment. The upper level with wooden flooring visually warms the interior, balancing the cold severity of concrete. The greenery of plants, penetrating the frame from above and present on the lower level, connects the space with nature, softening the urban character of the architectural solution.
