A simple house model is always associated with a minimalist house. Therefore, before finding out everything related to simple houses and their models, you need to understand the meaning of simple itself.
“Simple” means anything easy to understand and explain. Furthermore, “simplicity” as a noun means free from hard work, effort, or panic. This assumes that a simple house means applying everything “concise” and “not complicated” to a house, which is legitimate.
Understanding of Simple House Models
Indonesian understanding of simple house models comes in several opinions. People often associate this house model with something that seems cheap, subsidized, cramped, and has other connotations that seem “not quite right”. A simple house has more value than just “affordable” and is not described as “low quality”.
A house with a simple model leads to the definition of “simple” itself, which means free from everything complicated. The things that are implemented in the simple house model, both in terms of exterior and interior, look more concise, thus strengthening the simplicity itself. The simplicity of a simple house is not “as is”, but rather reduces unnecessary elements and prioritizes function to the maximum.
Characteristics of Simple House Buildings
A simple house model that contains minimalist values has more or less the same characteristics as the minimalist building itself. First, a simple house model has a simple form and function. The simplicity of form and function of this house is demonstrated by its floor plan which seems plain and efficient. The characteristics of this simple house plan are characterized by its open floor plan, simple interior walls, and not excessive storage space. The simple roof profile and avoided curved shapes are also part of the characteristics of this house model.
Second, if a house with a simple model has wall treatment on the exterior, usually the treatment has a simple, uncomplicated, and repetitive pattern. For example, the vertical or horizontal wood wall treatment is applied consistently to almost the entire exterior of the house.
Third, the rooms of a simple house model have a clean, open feel and accommodate lights. The open feel and ability to accommodate light is what allows the limitations of space size in a simple house to be overcome.
Fourth, this house model has simple decoration details. Excessive decoration is not recommended in this house, because efforts to maximize function take priority.
Fifth, the simple model house materials used are quite limited. For example, you can focus on building only with the materials such as wood and glass, or only with varnished bricks. The simplicity shown by simple house materials is what adds to its visual appeal.
