There are several interior design elements that can create a visual connection between a building's interior and its surrounding landscape or cityscape. Some of these elements include:
1. Large windows or glass walls: Incorporating large windows or glass walls in the building's design allows for unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape or cityscape.
2. Patio or balcony: Installing a patio or balcony can extend the interior space to the exterior, creating a seamless visual connection between the indoors and outdoors.
3. Open floor plan: A well-designed open floor plan allows for uninterrupted sightlines from different areas of the interior to the surrounding views.
4. Placement of key areas: Strategic placement of key areas, such as living rooms or dining areas, near windows or glass walls can maximize the connection to the exterior.
5. Materials and finishes: Choosing materials and finishes that harmonize with the surrounding environment, such as natural woods, stones, or earth tones, can create a visual connection between the interior and the landscape or cityscape.
6. Greenery and landscaping: Incorporating indoor plants or creating a green wall can bring elements of the surrounding nature indoors, enhancing the visual connection.
7. Seating and lounge areas: Designing seating or lounge areas near windows or glass walls can encourage occupants to enjoy the view and establish a stronger connection with the outside environment.
8. Artwork and decorative elements: Choosing artwork or decorative elements inspired by the surrounding landscape or cityscape can reinforce the visual connection and create a sense of place.
9. Lighting design: Thoughtful lighting design can highlight the exterior views during the day and extend the visual connection into the evenings or at night.
10. Exterior design continuity: Consideration should be given to the building's exterior design, ensuring that it complements the surrounding landscape or cityscape and reinforces the visual connection when viewed from the interior.
