Spurred by the idea that humans and nature should be living in harmony, today’s world of architecture, with Frank Lloyd Wright coining the term “organic architecture”, is taking the lead. The core of the concept goes back to the idea that buildings, must grow from within its environment, and adapt to it. Designed as if they were molded by nature, the color schemes divert from the natural colors of the woods and harmonise with its surroundings. With simplicity being at the forefront, the layouts encourage open and fluid spaces, generating natural light, to create an effortless flow. Blending interiors and exteriors, the design strives for the unification of our living spaces and nature.
