These most-visited new residential interior project pages from 2021 will surely continue to inspire and captivate Architonic users as well as their inhabitants, for years to come.

×Struck by an eclectic mix of colour, material, pattern and texture from every angle, you could stare in wonder at this Milanese minimalist mid-century modern apartment for hours on end. All the time wondering: it shouldn’t work. But it does.

×This Spanish cliffside property with sea views seems to have taken on its location's oceanic characteristics. Blending a combination of glinting marine-hued turquoise tiles and patterned wall coverings with raw earthy tones, including a kitchen island seemingly crafted from barnacles, the home seems born from its exterior landscape.

×Making it a clean sweep for the Madrid outfit, the R+1 House combines colourful yet subtle designer and custom-made furniture with a variety of patterned and textured surfaces and materials. The effect manages to initially challenge perceptions of interior design, but before long, blends into a comfortable feast for the senses.

×The interior and garden of Villa Smriti Curtilage are continuously interlinked. Large ground-floor windows and glass doors bring the peaceful nature of the garden inside, alongside tree trunk- and stone-imitating furnishings. A central glass atrium, meanwhile, coaxes natural light down to the home’s basement level.

×The small 70sqm Berlin apartment has been cleverly repurposed with bespoke multifunctional and transformational furniture to serve a family of six. The apartment’s open plan extends onto its top-floor balcony, while the space as a whole represents a softer, family-friendly version of minimalist living.
