After the second fallout of the Delta Variant amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in mid 2021, our team working from home, and our client in quarantine, SDA Architects conceived Japandi Home. The initial brief for the renovation of this pool house was for its interior to have an "immediate sense of serenity" that roused the feeling of being peaceful. Influenced by loneliness and angst during quarantine, SDA Architects explored themes of escapism and empathy which led to a “Japandi” style concept design – the nexus between “Scandinavian functionality” and “Japanese rustic minimalism” to invoke feelings of “art, nature and simplicity.” This merging of styles forms the perfect amalgamation of both function and form, centred on clean lines, bright spaces and light colours. Grounded by its emotional weight, poetic lyricism, and relaxed atmosphere; Japandi Home aesthetics focus on simplicity, natural elements, and comfort; minimalism that is both aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional. Japandi Home places special emphasis on sustainability through use of raw furnishings and a rejection of the one-time-use culture we have embraced for numerous decades. A plethora of natural materials, muted colours, clean lines and minimal, yet-well-curated furnishings have been employed to showcase beautiful craftsmanship – quality handmade pieces over quantitative throwaway items. A neutral colour palette compliments the soft and hard furnishings within, allowing the timeless pieces to breath and speak for themselves. These calming, tranquil and peaceful colours have been chosen so when accent colours are incorporated, they are done so in a meaningful yet subtle way. Japandi home isn’t sparse – it’s intentional. The integrated storage throughout – from the kitchen, to dining buffet, linen cupboard, window seat, entertainment unit, bed ensemble and walk-in wardrobe are key to reducing clutter and maintaining the zen-like sense of calm created by these clean lines and open spaces. The Scandinavian concept of “hygge” refers to the idea that ones home is your cosy sanctuary. Similarly, this ideology has been fused with the Japanese notion of “wabi-sabi”; the idea that there is beauty in imperfection. Hence, the marriage of these design styles is both founded on minimalism and comfort; easy-going yet sophisticated. Conversely, whilst Japanese styles can be considered “sleek” and Scandinavian, “rustic”, the richness of the Japanese neutral colour palette aids in preventing the stark, crisp palette of Scandinavian styles from feeling cold and clinical. Japandi Home’s introspective essence can ultimately be considered quite timely for the pandemic and was the quintessential lockdown project our team needed.

Idéalement situé en plein cœur du Marais sur la mythique place des Vosges, ce duplex sur cour comportait initialement deux contraintes spatiales : sa faible hauteur sous plafond (2,09m au plus bas) et sa configuration tout en longueur. Le cahier des charges des propriétaires faisait quant à lui mention de plusieurs demandes à satisfaire : la création de trois chambres et trois salles d’eau indépendantes, un espace de réception avec cuisine ouverte, le tout dans une atmosphère la plus épurée possible. Pari tenu ! Le niveau rez-de-chaussée dessert le volume d’accueil avec une buanderie invisible, une chambre avec dressing & espace de travail, ainsi qu’une salle d’eau. Au premier étage, le palier permet l’accès aux sanitaires invités ainsi qu’une seconde chambre avec cabinet de toilette et rangements intégrés. Après quelques marches, le volume s’ouvre sur la salle à manger, dans laquelle prend place un bar intégrant deux caves à vins et une niche en Corian pour le service. Le salon ensuite, où les assises confortables invitent à la convivialité, s’ouvre sur une cuisine immaculée dont les caissons hauts se font oublier derrière des façades miroirs. Enfin, la suite parentale située à l’extrémité de l’appartement offre une chambre fonctionnelle et minimaliste, avec sanitaires et salle d’eau attenante, le tout entièrement réalisé en béton ciré. L’ensemble des éléments de mobilier, luminaires, décoration, linge de maison & vaisselle ont été sélectionnés & installés par l’équipe d’Ameo Concept, pour un projet clé en main aux mille nuances de blancs.

This is an example of a mid-sized midcentury powder room in Denver with flat-panel cabinets, green cabinets, a one-piece toilet, white tile, white walls, ceramic floors, an undermount sink, engineered quartz benchtops, multi-coloured benchtops and a freestanding vanity.

An Italian limestone tile, called “Raw”, with an interesting rugged hewn face provides the backdrop for a room where simplicity reigns. The pure geometries expressed in the perforated doors, the mirror, and the vanity play against the baroque plan of the room, the hanging organic sculptures and the bent wood planters.
