White on white? Why not! The house we found on helwig-architekten.de proves that this color can evoke different sensations: mixing pure white with either cold or warm off-whites creates elegant, calm interiors. I love the interesting contrasts of light and shadow, shiny and matt interiors created in this family house located at the foot of the Seeheim, a municipality in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in Hesse, Germany. Choosing white as a dominant color, the architects let the building impress by its structure and geometry. The roof has a sculptural shape and its folding extends well into the interior, where it is absorbed by the slopes of the opening clip – at the same time creates a separation of the different residential areas. Moreover, special effects are created by the use of specific materials: small-scale charcoal-colored roofing, light covered plaster façade, dark wood windows were defined two outdoor spaces.
