Using glass as a dominant material when building a house could be an inspiring start. Why? Because glass is considered to be a wonder substance. It combines more than a few advantages such as transparency, natural day-lighting, blending of exteriors with interiors and acoustic control. Moreover, glass plays an essential role in accomplishing greater indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency, thus fulfilling numerous criteria for green buildings. Architects frequently use high-performance double-glazed glass, which is laminated or coated, to moderate interior temperatures by controlling heat loss and gain. You can explore its benefits below, analysing the amazing contemporary residence realised by Imativa Arquitectos.

The island represents the focal point of the kitchen designed according to a minimalist aesthetic. Cabinets were installed around it, thus making the space feel comfy and secured. A large window accompanies the sink so that beautiful views could be admired while washing the dishes.

White and cream are wonderful options if you want to create a tranquil atmosphere in the living room. Purple or red can be used to add contrast to the space, while tall green plants enliven the spirit.

The living room offers one of the most exciting experiences in the house. With two walls made entirely of glass, the place invites the inhabitants to connect with the world outside at one glance. Amazing, isn’t it?

Antic pieces of furniture coexist harmoniously with contemporary items. A wooden table with fine incrustations, a royal armchair and a crystal candle holder create an intimate corner near the window.
