Modern farmhouse architecture
This type of architecture is rustic, elegant and clean, and is characterized mainly by its neutral color contrast, black and white. Wood, which is a basic element in farmhouse architecture, is generally found as flooring, in the form of exposed beams or on the fronts of cabinets.

Bauhaus architecture
Derived from German, bau means “to build”, while haus means “house”. This type of architecture is characterized by its simple, minimalist and timeless design. The materials used are often steel, glass or concrete. Bauhaus design aims for cohesion and simplicity, so the architectural colors are often white, gray and beige.

Scandinavian architecture
This type of architecture is at once minimalist, modern and in harmony with nature. Scandinavian architecture is characterized by its extraordinary luminosity obtained by glass walls or open spaces. Light, neutral colors and natural textures create a comforting decor.

Contemporary architecture
Contemporary architecture is characterized mainly by its refined materials, open spaces and high ceilings. An important feature of contemporary architecture is the use of noble materials such as glass, wood, brick and metals, both inside and out. A larger and more abundant fenestration is also a characteristic of this type of architecture. Panoramic windows, window walls, skylights, all offer spectacular views.
