Houzz Tour: Falsely detailed Minimalism in Miami

Houzz Tour: Falsely detailed Minimalism in Miami - straight lines of this house, stretches of white, subtle architectural details and pops of color are sparing far from what the designers have seen their first visit. When the team first met DKOR Interiors home in Tuscan style, it takes a lot of vision and a lot of construction to suit the minimalist tastes of their clients.

The main challenge was to meet the needs of six family members in the minimalist design. This included personal spaces for each family member, home offices and common areas to collect and play. Here's how they did it.

"These are the kind of people who love open spaces and modern design, says Ivonne Ronderos, owner DKOR. Knowing that customers appreciate the floating design elements, the team developed a concept of suspension, highlighted by false ceilings, panels lit by LED lights and ethereal.

The ceiling of the living room is large with two dropped ceilings on the sides and floating wood panels in the middle. alcoves LED lightsin accentuate the suspended head panels.

Although the house was staged to be very clean and save for the photo shoot, Ronderos had just visited the house the same day I was talking with her and said the family embraces minimalism. They have added a few accessories and books, 'but it is still very minimal, "she said. "Everything has its place.

The husband works at home, and he needed a home office away from distractions. Like most minimalist, it's a kind person without the paper, so that storage was not a priority. Instead, he wanted an area where he could view the Lego creations of his family.

The box office and other closed spaces conceal office equipment. The white satin panel wood walls is divided by two large bamboo wood lines behind the desk. The team used the bamboo wood throughout the house for contrast and texture.

In a minimalist home, continuity enhances the feeling of peace; no discordant transitions and repeat details from room to room. You will see the hollow metal back around doors that the transition to the floor throughout the house. This recess reflective makes the walls seem subtly suspended.

A careful balance of contrasting materials is also essential. Contrasting wood warms improve white used throughout the house. In the bathroom, the well wall is covered with colored wood porcelain tiles with a linen texture

Many hidden storage is the key to making minimalism working for a family with four children, said Ronderos. The TV wall is packed with hidden storage, including media cabinets and plenty of room for toys and games.

In a craft room downstairs, each drawer is customized to perform a specific function of storage.

TIP: 'Make sure mirrors reflect some something nice, 'Ronderos advises. "We used them to make this larger space.

At first glance, you never know how much storage is hidden here; behind the first three doors on the left hides storage; a door hides a sink to wash his hands before dinner. The mirrored panel on the right is a door leading to the pantry and the kitchen.

"We dropped the ceiling with a cut on the sides and put the LED lights around it," said Ronderos. A Logico lamp as a cloud floating in the space between the ceiling and the table.

"Part of the concept was to have a very white and color pallet broken white with a touch of color, "said Ronderos. "It was important not to exaggerate the color to be minimalist. The floating orange tray in one of the storage space of the dining room also contributes to the concept of suspension of the house

BEFORE: family and designers worked with a dark house full of dated fixtures and ends with a theme of Tuscan style: lots of trompe l'oeil, superfluous cornicing, earth tones, dark wood and light limited natural - in other words, the opposite of what we think of as cool style Miami. But customers "are very design savvy and saw the potential, Ronderos said. In addition, the area is where children play safely in the street, a hidden gem. Here, the dining room before.
