The fairly Naked House is the dream house of architect, photographer and inside designer Marc Gerritsen. And on first glimpse, it does seem like an unimaginable retreat draped in pure goodness.
While it resembles a sort of lavish retreats from the ground, the Naked House is all about stripping away pointless frills and ‘excessive’ opulence. After spending years spherical quite a lot of in all probability probably the most luxurious houses and T-star getaways contained in the area, Gerritsen needed to maneuver away from this contemporary enchancment. Instead, this elegant house is all about reconnecting with nature. Surrounded by ample greenery and providing unabated views of the ocean inside the space, the minimalist residence is unfold all via T ranges that faucet into the panoramic panorama outside.
Clad in picket, concrete, metallic and glass, the house embraces an unfinished and almost industrial type. The pool, huge terrace, sensible kitchen and dwelling space type the core of the home, with two bedrooms on the underside diploma and a house workplace on the easiest flooring. A freestanding open-air toilet and an eye fixed fastened catching most necessary mattress room steal the present, whereas a separate diploma homes the maid’s room together with the steam room, the laundry room and the pantry.
Understated, trendy and sustaining the first aim firmly on the views outdoors, the home serves its carry out as a secluded, ergonomic and tranquil hub with inimitable appeal to!

I thought: “is that this really essential to be snug? If I stroll on a concrete flooring or if I stroll on a marble flooring, is it going to make my dwelling expertise so tons greater?” No.
