This impressive interior represents a masterful transformation of a historic space with an arcaded gallery into a modern living area. The architectural solution preserves the classical structure with majestic stone arches creating a rhythmic visual pattern around the perimeter of the room, while simultaneously introducing contemporary elements for comfortable living.
The dominant feature of the space is the grand glass roof with stretched light-colored canopies that filter natural light, creating soft, diffused illumination. This solution not only fills the interior with air and light but also forms an amazing play of shadows on the wooden floor, adding dynamics to the static space.
The design solution for the living area is based on the contrast of textures and shades: a light L-shaped sofa with yellow accent pillows is placed on a dark gray carpet, creating a cozy island in the center of the vast space. The minimalist furniture does not compete with the architecture of the room but complements it, emphasizing the scale and grandeur of the structure.
In the far part, a dining area with orange accents is visible, balanced with the main palette of the interior. Organically included elements of nature—a large plant in a terracotta pot—soften the strictness of the architectural lines.
When designing the facade of a country house, one can borrow the principle of combining historical elements with modern materials, which creates a unique dialogue between past and present, as well as the concept of maximizing natural light through overhead glazing with a sun protection system.
