Monochromatic city living
I love to share houses with beautiful outdoor living spaces - expansive yards, brimming landscaping, turquoise pools and grills, bars, pizza ovens, etc. However, today's home is quite different because there are practically no outdoor spaces - a sidewalk front yard and an enclosed atrium are all that you are going to find with this home. The house's current furnishings and decorations are very much two-toned - black and white. I would say that throughout the entire home it's a little much, but in just one room, like the dining room, I'm a big fan. A gleaming white kitchen like the one below is dreamy for a non-chef but with someone who ends up spattering and spraying cooking oil and whatever sauces all over the tiles and counters, I'd have to constantly be cleaning. And who wants to do that?
How do you feel about a home like this?

The house is incredibly modern, and while it's not exactly my style, I do think it's quite nice. That last photo is a stunner.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with a big backyard and watched my parents tend to their garden. I think i'd have to have the same for my house one day!
Not exactly my style, but that foyer in the second picture really is something I would like to have in our house. Too bad we don't have the space:P
ReplyDeleteAs awesome as this house is (I lovveee the design), I would totally miss not having a back yard. I mean, where would people lay out and tan??? Grill and serve??? Or grow a garden??? A back yard is important to me :)
ReplyDeleteExcept for the bathroom, each room on its own is nice. But you're right, all together it's a little much. I like the front door. I'm curious if that building started it's life as a house or was built to be something else.
ReplyDeleteWe had another big storm roll through this evening, but only 10K lost power instead of one million.
not really my cup of tea, but I couldn't even tell you why... the kitchen is great though...
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great to look at . . . in a magazine or blog. But I would not want to live there.
ReplyDeleteI don't need a yard, but my husband does. And I do love some sort of outdoor space. But I can't wait for Erin's comment, because we all know how much she LOVES black and white. I find all those rooms to be very serene and appealing. I used to employ tons of color in my home, but I've been moving away from that over the past few years. Not sure I'd ever go this far though. Still, there's a serenity those rooms that's very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have use of the top of the building as a terrace...Otherwise, the place is gorgeous and the atrium is good enough for me!
ReplyDeleteAs beautiful as it is, this house is definitely in need of a few pops of color!
ReplyDeleteI could not live without outdoor space, just need space for two chairs, a table and a grill ;) Although I really like white I'm totally digging the dark bathroom. I have to pin it...
ReplyDeleteThe hallway with those tall windows that lead to the atrium is STUNNING and I love this house just for that. The huge white tiled wall in the kitchen is a bit much, and a few of the rooms are just not to my taste, but wow, what an interesting space!
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over those floor to ceiling windows. Breathtaking!
Oh. My. gosh. Can I please have a million dollars so I can buy this house? It's seriously amazing.
ReplyDeletethe rooms are small, but they are soooo pretty! i wish i lived there!
ReplyDeleteohhhh and about the envelope liners, that is a great idea :} have a happy monday!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, those are some really nice pictures - I love them! :))
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

i'm all about monochromatic whites and neutrals, so i love these!
ReplyDeleteUm, yes please!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this home! There is something so calming about it.
ReplyDeletelots of straight lines and black and white...i'd def live there
ReplyDeletei looove the white kitchen. but i agree, i'd cringe if someone even suggested to use it for actual cooking hahahhaa would be limited to making hard boiled eggs!
ReplyDeleteLove the two chaise lounges in the library/living room!
ReplyDeleteRonnie xo
I don't mind monochromatic interiors though I love color. At least this place has black countertops so you wouldn't have to worry as much about being messy. :)
ReplyDeleteVery bright theme
ReplyDeleteYou pretty much just posted photos of my dream home. I don't like a lot of color when it comes to home...I like the color to be contained within one room. Strange, right?
ReplyDelete:)

ReplyDeleteWow! This house is amazing :)
ReplyDeletex
I think this house is pretty rad!
ReplyDeleteLovely house - the bunny artwork in the kitchen is very cool
ReplyDeleteYes, the bunny artwork caught my eye too! Favorite part of the house. And the outdoor dining area is fab.
ReplyDeleteI actually love everything thing about this home. I cook breakfast and dinner every day in my white kitchen and it's not a problem - of course I also have a great ability to ignore a mess :)
ReplyDeleteI would miss a back yard, so would my dog. Not so much the front yard, we don't even use ours - it's just the space I have to walk through to get to the mailbox.
gorgeous home! it has a good feng shui to it!
ReplyDeleteLooks so elegant! :)
