Private Minimalist Abodes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'TV House' is a Wood-Cladded Hidden Hideaway

— September 9, 2015 — Art & Design
From the outside, the 'TV House' looks like an oddly-shaped private structure. This lack of visual interest however was purposeful. Apart from a single door, this introverted house closes off the outside, but its interior proves to be a much more open and welcoming space.

Architect Bruno Vanbesien had a unique inspiration for the structure: old-style Belgian farmhouses and traditional communal residences in China. Using his inspirations, Vanbesien designed a simple square-shaped home with an addition of a sloped ceiling to keep the home private from neighbors. The closed-off exterior is a stark contrast to the open-concept interior.

Large windows across the main floor also bring in an abundance of light, providing extensive views of the large courtyard. Light-clored furnishings and a minimalist design brighten up the hidden hideaway's interior.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Architecture - Opportunities for architects and designers to create minimalistic structures that prioritize privacy while still maximizing space and light.
2. Modern Farmhouse Style - Inspirations from antique farmhouses can be used to design modern minimalist homes that balance style and functionality.
3. Intentional Privacy - A focus on privacy in architecture can lead to innovative designs that prioritize seclusion without sacrificing aesthetics or natural light.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and designers have the opportunity to create new and innovative designs that prioritize privacy and minimalist aesthetics.
2. Real Estate - Real estate companies can offer properties with unique and innovative minimalist designs that balance privacy and style.
3. Furniture - Furniture companies can create customizable and functional pieces specifically designed for minimalist homes with a focus on privacy and light.
