A far cry from Tony Stark's modernized Malibu mansion played by Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his real-life thin-shell home is an aerodynamic, eco-friendly, Hobbit-style home. The home meets the requirements of an amazing interior design. Trend – Wellness in Design.
In a conversation with New York Times Style Magazine, the actor described his detailed vision for the home as a “melting pot of faith.” This property, also known as Bini shell, is a form he invented by Dante Bini in 1964. The famous Italian designer discovered that by placing wet reinforced concrete on top of a nylon-coated neoprene bladder, he could create a durable thin-shell bungalow.
Downey's vinyl shell was designed by the author's son, Nicolo. Nicolo is a Beverly Hills-based architect who reimagines his father's innovations. The final look is a modest home aimed at comfort and comfort. It's very different from the fictional home he shared with JARVIS in the movie, where he is an advanced personal AI. iron man.
Despite its unusual futuristic architecture, Downey's vinyl shell living room embraces a minimalist yet warm aesthetic. Make Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute, claims that achieving this look is easier than you think.
“Start with what you want to give the room instead of filling an empty room with standard room items, such as a light fixture on the ceiling, a painting on the wall, a chair, or a couch,” he says. “It's a more human approach that puts you, the person, at the center of the space.”
You'll be surprised how little you need in your home to create a happy environment. In this busy modern world, it's more important than ever to have a sanctuary of peace to return to, which is why homeowners are turning to the principles of minimalism to create the perfect way to switch off and unwind. No wonder they create the space they save.
Minimalist living room plans like Downey's are based on the principle of removing clutter from your home. It's about harnessing the power of a “clean” space that not only reduces eye strain but is also restful, contemporary, and budget-friendly.
To follow this example, prioritize quality over quantity. Your living room should be simple and meaningful, with every item contributing to its beauty and functionality. Invest in items that will make you happier at home. Keep your color scheme simple and sophisticated. Here, the Downeys decorate in neutrals for a calming color scheme that blends with nature.
Another important aspect to look at is the amount of natural light the space receives during the day.
“Bringing natural light into your home and arranging your home to make the most of light will reduce the need for artificial lighting,” says Wiking. Also, be aware of how the greenery outside your home affects light levels inside.
