Gallery Like Almost Completely White Living Space Vitt Hus by Studio Octopi

Vitt Hus is the name of this project by Studio Octopi. From Swedish it means a “white house”. The name describes this gallery-like living space in which white is used as the dominant color. It shows how subtle shifts in tone and texture can be achieved within the limits of near-perfect whiteness. All of that white is also great for highlighting multi-owner artwork and other home furnishings. Work surfaces are warmed by the bright yellow glow of hidden fluorescent strips, and mirrored panels reflect light over the upper units. A box-shaped roof light is located above the steps that connect the front reception rooms with the kitchen extension. Adjacent, sloping glass panes occupy a narrow strip of space between the ceiling and the side wall. During the day, light flows through this opening, but at night as a dark slit that cuts through the pristine white space. {Studio Octopi}
