3-Storey Modern And Luxurious House With Timeless Design

This amazing house by Finnis Architects in Brighton East, Australia, is a modern 3-storey house with one floor excavated. The underground floor has a garage and utility spaces, while the upper floors are dedicated to the day and night areas. The day area is strategically situated on the ground floor, so that it can blend in with the outdoors spaces situated at the same level. The outdoors space is very important in the layout and it consists of focal points. One of them is the small patch of lawn, very carefully landscaped. The interior is modern and luxurious, lots of light and wide open spaces with smart accents look great.

Stylish Eclectic Loft With Clusters Of Art And Framed Photographs

The most creative homes usually belong to designers or artists because they know what they want and how to express it in the best way. I can say that about this home of fashion designer David Delfín and architect-turned-photographer Gorka Postigo in Madrid, Spain. This unique loft with breathtaking high ceilings has been filled with contrasts, provocation and tons of creativity. The space is an eclectic mix that blends a mid-century modern style with a soft industrial backdrop. White painted wooden floors, walls, ceilings and beams douse the entire space in a Scandinavian look and feel, while clusters of art and framed photographs add a sense of modernity. What an incredible job!

Angkor Table Design Collection Inspired By Cambodian Temples

Have you seen temples of Cambodia? They really impress with their fantastic architecture; built many centuries ago they are still standing. Perhaps the most popular of them is Angkor Wat, a beautiful temple in the capital of the country that was built in the 12th century. There the tree roots and branches overrun the wall, and iIt inspired Olivier Dollé for creating Angkor Table Design Collection. The table features a multiplex birch wood structure finished in veneered wood dyed in black. It’s leaning leg imitates a natural branch motion and is veneered in oak as is the branch table top. The three black legs are furnished with oak feet. Available as a coffee table, dining table and writing desk, the project is an interesting addition for a large array of modern interiors.

Modern City Escape: Imposing House on the Hill in Lima

 

 House on the Hill was recently completed by architect Jose Orrego of Metropolis, a Peru-based studio. The modern approach for this 950 square meter residence reminds us of Casa Casuarinas in Lima, featured on our website a while back. As its name hints, House on the Hill takes advantage of a wonderful location in Lima, with expansive views opening up towards the city below. The unconventional modern glass facade is flanked by white walls and  uses wood and stone for a more distinct appearance.

A Wonderful Retreat in Austria by Hohensinn Architektur


Hosensinn Architektur designed House M, a wonderful retreat in the picturesque region of Bad Aussee, in Austria. The inspiring fresh landscape and the imposing mountains guarding from afar compliment the neat appearance of this dwelling. An interesting blend of rustic and contemporary, the house connects the inhabitants with the outdoors, at all levels. Openness, tranquility and transparency play a key role in compiling a harmonious living environment. The sloping plot determined the structure of the house, with the living areas on one side and the terraces on the other.


 The best thing about this place is that it has a positive effect on the inhabitants, charging them with energy. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to explore the outdoors from the intimacy of the living room. “The concept of openness and enactment of the outside area are thus made tangible and intensified throughout the building. The delicate façade design is completely of wood, albeit continuing fragmentarily in front of the glazing and thus creating the semblance of a filter.”  The breeze of the countryside can be experienced from every single corner of the house.
