Complement Rustic Textured Walls Style in Italy Design

Carnet Casa’s rustic home design in Crema, Italy has elegant touches from floor to ceiling, including a series of beautifully textured walls with a nod to old world charm. The rough walls in the living and kitchen spaces have the same warm, slightly romantic look as the exposed wood in the ceiling.
These artfully unfinished elements of the main space are balanced out by high-quality flooring and furniture pieces with a much more polished look. Parquet floors and a leather tufted couch add a posh feel to the space. Similarly, dark green tiles meeting the base of the home’s stairwell and running into one of its bathrooms create a refined and color-rich space.

Each of the three bathrooms pictured has been done in stunning wallpaper that resembles faded antique linens up close. Refined fixtures continue to balance the rustic style of the wallpaper, including a mix of stones used to make individually styled modern sinks.

Created by Baptiste Ducommun for Klybeck, these minimalist hangers add a touch of class to any room while providing decorative flexibility.

Designed to mimic the effect of an ivy plant slowly expanding outwards and upwards, this design, appropriately called “Ivy,” allows for expansion, growth, and possibility, much like the organic plants they are based on.

Oiled oak veneer highlights their natural simplicity, while a chrome steel offers structural support. A simple two screw back mount makes them both durable and long-lasting, and at the same offers a floating, ethereal look.

The three pieces vary slightly in size and shape, and are designed to be used together in endless combinations. The “Ivy” set can be used alone, or as part of a dynamic series, also available through the Swiss company based in Basel, which offers three other similar pieces.

Both sophisticated and natural, the “Ivy” set gives a practical decorative touch to a room, but allows for flexibility in decoration, and movable and organic expansion.

Mantua-based studio ARCHIPLAN completed the renovation of an old barn in Bomporto, Italy. The building had been partially damaged by an earthquake and was in dire need of a contemporary update. Surrounded by abandoned farm buildings and the cultivated fields of the Modena plain, the residence is an oasis of tranquility.
The front of the house is characterized by “a harsh nature, grumpy and unhelpful, which is opposed to a domestic and faithful interior space and a large façade that opens to the endless countryside.” The wooden deck and perfectly manicured lawn extend living spaces, providing opportunities for spending time outdoors.

Minimalism was key to designing a clutter-free and highly functional home. As you step inside, you will be greeted by spacious and airy interiors, thanks to the open plan layout and walls painted in white.
A black bookshelf divides the dining table and the lounge area with TV. This is a perfect spot for late evening family gatherings, and cozy tales around the fireplace. The bedrooms are located upstairs, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing unobstructed views of the surroundings. Used in abundance, the wood accents create a welcoming feel throughout.

MW/Works project Little House is a compact, modern sanctuary covering two floors and 1,100-square feet of space. The firm explains that the project “hopes to capture the essence of the modern cabin—small in size but much larger than its boundaries.”

Floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the main floor pull your attention out toward tall trees and the Hood Canal. The simple design for this area is topped off with charming features, like a freestanding fireplace and a few shelf decorations that could have been gathered in the woods outside. Upstairs, the design continues to use simple, clean lines to create an efficient look.

The exterior of the home contrasts with the light tones and soft plywood used for the interior walls, floors, and décor. MW/Works used black cedar and blackened cement infill panels to give the outward face a darker color.

The home has a couple outdoor spaces to relax on warmer days. A patio extending from the Western corner of the house connects it to a trail system that takes hikers to the water below. [Photography by Andrew Pogue and information courtesy of MW/Works]

This fresh coffee house in Montreal, Canada revolves around the “Pista Café tricycle”, a bike concept that relies solely on legs and pedals to provide freshly ground coffee beans. The tricycle combines human power, technology and the pleasure of a good coffee. Les Ateliers Guyon took on the challenge of designing a gathering place inspired by this innovative “coffee grinder”.

Pista Café aims to make the shift from being a nomad café to being a sedentary one, while still keeping a street stall feel. The chosen location, on the corner of Beaubien and Saint-Vallier, is imbued with both history and character. “We’re looking at a simple and refreshing concept: to create a cozy, luminous and unique spot where the inside recreates the outside,” the designer said.

The Café is divided into two separate sections. On one side lies a long bench, its colors soft and lively, allowing the location’s natural light to shine. On the other, the service section is hemmed in a container-inspired workspace where customers get served as if they were sitting on a food truck stool, waiting for their order.

Within this workspace, there’s even a place designed especially for the tricycle as there is a little workshop where it can be stored, repaired and admired by the patrons. [Photos and information provided by Les Ateliers Guyon]

Built by Jaro Krobot, this project was an exciting exploration in material innovation. By using new building technology to recreate a traditional home, the atmosphere of the surrounding area was preserved.

This house in Lučatín, a small village in central part of Slovakia, was completed in 2014. It sits on the site of an older home that had become dilapidated beyond repair. The current wooden house reproduces the footprint of the former house, following the traditional floor plan of the area.

There were set limitations with the construction: care was taken to maintain an existing stone wall and the surrounding coniferous trees to preserve the landscape. Demolishing a barn in the back of the property opened up new views of the road and hills without changing the general layout of the home.

All efforts were made to reuse materials from old buildings and barns in the village. While not everything could be created from recycled materials, all the suppliers were sourced from the surrounding area.

One major innovation was a Swiss process called STEKO, developed with ETH Zurich. These are bricks made of solid spruce wood, which can be filled with different kinds of insulation. All wooden sections of the home were built in five days.
