Inside, it’s a different story altogether. What was once a decorative pastiche is now a pared-back environment of minimalist sophistication defined by flowing lines, textured surfaces, and a monochromatic palette. Drawing from the language of automotive aerodynamics, in what is a nod to the owner’s passion for cars, every wall, ceiling, and built-in element is shaped in continuity. Sinuous partitions, rounded corners, and curvaceous bulkheads blur the boundaries between rooms, creating a sense of motion and fluidity, while arched openings and sculptural furnishings amplify the home’s spatial rhythm.

The palette is intentionally restrained yet tactile. Micro-cement surfaces lend a gentle, weathered texture, albeit tough enough to withstand the children’s creative impulses. On the ground floor, large-format stone slabs stretch seamlessly underfoot, their subtle veining amplifying the light that floods inside through expansive glazing. Upstairs, wooden floors introduce warmth to the private quarters, while wardrobes coated in the same micro-cement ensure for visual continuity. Standing out against the smooth and polished surfaces, a few exposed concrete beams and columns enhance the scheme’s tactile richness.

The upper floor hosts three bedrooms, including a generous master suite where a freestanding glass shower shower enclosure introduces a sense of ritual calm, complemented by a sunken bathtub that enhances the master bathroom’s spa-like serenity. One of the children’s bedrooms, in contrast, balances function and playfulness with terrazzo floors and floral curtains.

With Kamayer Villa, Diverse Studio demonstrates how minimalism can be expressive rather than ascetic. By juxtaposing the fluid and the formal, the contemporary and the nostalgic, the architects have turned a faux-Provençal residence into a graceful family home that feels modern as much as timeless.
