Hi Tech in every house

The formation of the high-tech style fell on the last years of the twentieth century, and its interiors quite justify the name of the direction.

It stands out with a complete lack of decor and perfect functionality. However, it does not look like something indigestible, because the scarcity of the situation is more than offset by the game of refracted light on the abundance of chrome-plated elements.

Hi tech is stingy, dry, but incredibly urban. It – a consequence of design development for industrial buildings. Initially, for the interior, nobody ever thought of using it, because the direction was used exclusively for architectural and building purposes. Probably, therefore, in the rooms do not hide such functional attributes of planning as pipes, air ducts, reinforcement components.

Style – a kind of demonstration of the diversity and richness of newly developed technologies, however, as well as finishing materials, and in this he has no strict boundaries. One can not keep silent about the fact that high-tech in its original form is never taken as the basis for the design of a dwelling, because it is completely lifeless and cold. Designers have learned to correct these shortcomings of the direction and out of their “pen” today come out incredibly original and at the same time cozy interiors.
