Beautiful Modern Spanish House With Courtyards And Pool [video]

Concrete, natural stone and solid wood build a beautiful 905 square metre modern spanish house, located in Comunidad Valenciana. Architects Ramon Esteve Estudio designed the house as a horizontal program of boxes and sunlight capturing courtyards. The elongated profile is enhanced by a flat roof and a floor that has been raised up 30cm from ground level. The swimming pool stretches flatly across the front of the landscape, forming a perfect reflection of the linear architecture. Overhangs on the exterior cause interplay with the natural light path to the interior, where contrasts of light and shadow shape the rooms.

A long concrete sun terrace extends from the modern home exterior , lining up with the swimming pool’s edge.

Modern outdoor chaise lounge chairs colour coordinate with the raw white concrete terrace, and with bold stonework masses. Trees grow around and even through the perimeter of the property, toying with the vertical plane.

A large wooden deck pulls around the other side of the infinity pool, sitting flat in the green landscaped garden. It creates a grand approach to the main living room, kitchen and dining room of the home, as well as a huge outdoor entertaining area.

In-between spaces materialise among the arrangement of the boxes that are sewn between concrete slabs, and shaded outdoor rooms come to fruition.

LED spotlights warmly illuminate the exterior of the home after dusk, ensuring the outdoor rooms remain functional and inviting.

The stone and concrete built boxes host the common areas of the dwelling. These rooms have both indoor and outdoor floor space, which connect fluidy via huge glass doors.

The modern kitchen diner flows out onto an alfresco dining area with ease and elegance. The same handsome dark wood tone links the aesthetic of each interior and exterior room. “The house is confined within stone walls as an enclosure, thus generating an intimate space where you can build a universe of your own”, explains Esteve.

An ancient olive tree gives the site a sense of history and comforting permanence.

From the inside of the house, specific views of the garden are framed by the exterior overhangs and stone masonry wall extensions.

A small courtyard design employs a roof cutout feature that allows a tree to grow directly through the thick concrete shelter. A flower bed squares off the base of the courtyard, sunk flush into white pavement.

Wooden shutters are both devices of privacy and creators of controlled shade for the home interior.

The swimming pool, pavements, sun patio and wooden decks slide across the horizontal plane in exploded pixelation. The arrangement echoes the differing heights and depths of the house itself, as well as its combination of natural materials and tones.

Another tiny courtyard is bathed in sunlight via a roof opening.

There are also cutaway skylights around outdoor sitting areas to serve the flower beds there. The modern outdoor chairs are positioned under the solid roof for cool shade.

Sunlight travels indirectly into each room, steered by courtyard spaces and exterior overhangs. The cooling effect is enhanced by high ceilings and unique ceiling fans , light decor and open plan spaces. The living room is a minimalist layout of a huge grey L-shaped sofa on a matching area rug. Black coffee tables complement a simple black floor lamp .

Floors inside the home are covered in rich wood planking, in contrast to the exterior exposed white concrete slab. Outdoor dining chairs and a lounge chair match the tone of the solid foundation.

Baseboard lighting washes gentle illumination across the floor of walkways where bright task lighting is not necessary, or desired.

A low bench skims the base of the window wall so as not to interrupt the pleasant view of green plant beds. A smaller isolated sitting area is tucked into the corner away from the main gathering.

Copper accessories colour the kitchen, making perfect tonal additions alongside dark wood grain cabinets. Beige kitchen bar stools pull together with the light walls and floor.

The metallic decorative vases act as a lightening device against a graphite granite countertop and matching backsplash.

Wooden accents shape and separate different elements of the home, and make a natural accompaniment to rugged stone feature walls. The deep stain of the wood creates wonderful contrast with the pale rock.

A unique faucet is highlighted beneath recessed striplights.

The same materials appear time and again in soothing unity.

We see a return of the grey granite inside of a luxurious bathroom suite, within a modern double sink vanity design. Contemporary faucets fill unique sloping basins.

LED ribbons emit a soft glow around the edges of a custom cut vanity mirror to keep the minimalist decor free of additional wall sconces and pendant light fixtures.

A single bedroom chair pulls up to the sunlit garden view with its ancient olive trees. The bright exterior is filtered out by grand wooden shutters.

Much of life is lived on the outside of the shuttered walls, in the exterior sitting rooms that are blissfully shaded by the oversize concrete roof slab. The boundaries of these living space extensions are melded with the garden by the regularly placed mini courtyards that invite plant life closer.

Having plant beds right up at the windows creates a stronger connect with nature as a whole, one that accentuates the beauty of the natural materials used inside and out.

A sofa table is a long and narrow table used to display decor, add intrigue, or incorporate storage. Similar to a console table, they generally stand around 30 inches—higher than a coffee table, yet shorter than a chest of drawers. However, sofa tables certainly aren’t a new concept, as they date back to the late 1700s. While traditionally they were long dropleaf tables used in front of sofas, today you will often find them without a dropleaf and placed against the back of a couch. From rustic farmhouse sofa tables to elegant chrome tables, they come in a variety of shapes, materials, and styles to suit any home—and our list explores a little bit of everything.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

1. Make it an All Black Kitchen

Visualizer:Design At Sketch

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements

Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy

This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!

3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange

Source:Vancouver House

A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).

4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple

Visualizer:Panda Fox Studios

A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.

5. Make it Dark… Or Not?

Visualizer:Who Cares Design

If you’re eyeing a dark kitchen aesthetic but are hesitant to make the change, this is it. Introducing more light, this black kitchen is hardly dark at all. Black benches, cabinetry, fixtures and stools are intersected by large-panel windows, a white shelving stand and light flooring.

6. Make Use of Asymmetry in the Black Modern Kitchen

Visualizer:Visual Method

This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

8. Place a White Island in a Black Modern Kitchen

Visualizer:Jean Regauer

An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.

9. Make Marble Your Best Friend

Architect:Chamberlain Javens Architects

If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.

10. Make it Mysterious

Visualizer:Tomek Michalski

You can double the visual intrigue in your all black kitchen by adding some mystery. In this kitchen, mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts as the hero.

11. Layer Gray and Gold

Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov

Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.

12. Add French Style to Black Kitchen Design

Visualizer:Aeroslon

Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!

13. Consider Soft Elements

Visualizer:Julia Sultanova

Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.

14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking

Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen

In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.

15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen

Visualizer:HDR Designer

Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.

16. Add Some Stencilling to Black Kitchens

Visualizer:Julia Sultanova

Fine lines and stencilling set this monochromatic space apart. Lined by black magnetic lights, black stencils and glossy white facades, it makes its mark on a light wooden floor.

17. Build a Shape Out of Black

Visualizer:Huso

18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients

Visualizer:Mario Nogueira

If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light. This clever design technique makes sure the space is anything but boring, even if it’s using mere neutrals (minus the stunning orange dining chairs, of course).

19. Leverage Black Textures

One instant way to add interest to a black kitchen is with textures, as seen in this metallic matte kitchen. This accounts for decorative presence in the light and bright space, providing character to an otherwise simple room.

Visualizer:Polygon

Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans.

Industrial style lovers, rejoice! This is THE inspiration to set up your favorite interior design style, the dark way. This kitchen uses rustic wood and exposed elements for the ceiling to create an industrial black kitchen interior.

All eyes on the two chunky lamps hanging in this monochromatic setting. They do add focus but also allow the contrasting white inset to shine. Not to forget the central island, providing plenty of storage space.

25. Make Room for Keepsakes

Visualizer:Maxim Goryachev

There’s nothing like personalizing your space to who YOU are. This kitchen serves the purpose by adding keepsakes and heirlooms. Also, black leaves room for details, so it’s one of the best colors to use if you’re hoping to display knick-knacks.

26. Use Black to Add Intimacy

Visualizer:Helen Bank

Who says dark colors make small spaces feel smaller? We only see black adding luxury to this compact space (with some credit to the white flooring adding brightness). This kitchen—with black marble backsplash—speaks opulence, and for all the right reasons!

27. Enhance Black Kitchen Design with Patterns

Visualizer:Ksenia Lenski

This black kitchen interior makes a design statement with the patterned marble island. Its sleek metallic legs lift it off the floor, creating an illusion of space. Simultaneously, the textured inset makes sure visual interest is added.

28. Don’t Forget a Black and White Rug

Visualizer:Nada Aboelrous

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.

29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen

Architect:Artpartner Architects

When everything else is understated, letting the lighting create a statement is a good idea. This matte black kitchen interior uses rod lighting to do the talking. It sticks to the all black kitchen color scheme, though!

30. Tone it Down

Visualizer:Valeria Mosolova

This open floor plan uses dark gray throughout, showing us that black can work in more spaces than the kitchen 😉 It sure makes a design statement for those cooking and dining—or lounging!

31. Consider a Black and Wooden Bar

Visualizer:Amir Emami

This is the ultimate modern luxury black kitchen! After all, what’s better than displaying your favorite collection of beer right behind the black kitchen island? The low-hanging pendant lights also add to the black kitchen design.

32. Add the Gothic Vibe

Visualizer:Sebastian Lorio

This dark-gray kitchen is super simple with its sleek, hardware-less cabinetry. Well, except the far left end. Here, we see a statement piece of art and intriguing layered lighting created a focal point.

33. Stick to the Minimalist Style for Black Kitchens

Visualizer:Miguel A. Ramos

This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.

34. Layer Lighting in the All Black Kitchen

Visualizer:Tatiana Durnescu

We see shades of gray and black coming together to bring this modern dark kitchen to life. What we especially love is the multiple types of lighting, all layered together to bring visual interest to the space.

35. Set the Backdrop For Your Living Space

Visualizer:Sasha Zolotukhin
