nravil's angular 'white line' house overlooks lively kazakh landscape

kazakhstan-based architecture firm, nravil, completes its elegant ’white line’ house overlooking the almaty cityscape. according to the architects, ’the main goal it to develop the project without harming the natural landscape.’ minimal excavations were performed during the building process as the relief of the site is nearly flat — as a result, the house sits on stilts. moreover, the frame of the house is concrete coated with a smooth white lime plaster.

the subtlety of the monochromatic colors merge with its surrounding nature

although nravil‘s ‘white line’ house consists of strictly straight lines, the slanted angles of the walls gives the structure dynamism. both the interior and exterior consist of monochromatic colors, predominantly white, emphasizing the harmony within the home. additionally, the large glass windows have reflective properties resulting in a harmonious unity with its surrounding environment.
