We visit two unique and unconventional home layouts today, each created by Indot Design. An initial minimalist aesthetic is apparent, but there is much more to these two interiors than simply serene decor. We’re met with a creative split level living room in home number one, which achieves a feeling of extra space, before a floating concrete staircase gives rise to an airy master suite with a glass wall bathroom. Home number two has a fluid layout that disguises all borders, and has hidden elements such as a cat wall camouflaged as a shelving arrangement. The rise and fall of wood, white and grey elements creates visual confusion, and closed volumes dismiss the questioning eye.

At our first stop, a split level modern living room design creates extra space in which family and friends can gather. The bar overlooking the lounge seems much further removed than if it had been situated upon the same floor height as the sofa. The wide wooden step down to the lounge also creates extra seating space, as well as opportunities for hidden storage.

Even an Eames bird makes itself at home on the transitional step between the kitchen and lounge. Green and yellow cushions and accent pieces bring a freshness to the predominantly white and grey decor scheme.

A section of the step down into the living room has a concrete top, to tie in with the solid concrete kitchen floor. Beneath the concrete, grey storage drawers hide away, running around in an L-shape to form a media unit beneath the TV.

The wood and concrete volumes fit together like the pieces of a puzzle, to make one satisfying interlocked design.

The minimalist bedroom follows the same white, wood and grey colour palette as is set in the design of the downstairs living quarters. Another Eames bird comes home to roost here too.

The second of our two interiors features a fluid layout, and a minimalist living room that contains only the essentials. A simple wooden shelf serves as a media unit, and matches the wood flooring of a raised walkway beneath the windows.
