A white minimalist home in contemporary aesthetic by James Choate



According to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh construction materials information, the featured house, renovated by architect James Choate, echoes a modern sensibility with a monochromatic approach.

"The house featured a lot of neo-historical ornamentation, particularly on the exterior," he says. "As it had a decayed infrastructure that needed repairing, we took the opportunity to peel off the traditional skin and reapply a modern aesthetic. At the same time, we wanted to allude to the original language of the house, so we introduced symmetry and proportion with clean-lined, simplified window designs."

"Each window is framed by a thin, steel shadow box, which provides functionality – protecting the window from the weather – and also gives the front façade a sense of depth."

Every other space was design to connect together and flow smoothly to enhance the upscale visual.
