This log home in the Spanish mountains close to the Valdelinares ski resort was built in 2009 by Nordicasa Design & Construction. The home is made of 165 mm laminated wood beams using wood from Finland. The dovetail corner joints and other wood details in the home are what make it so unique.
Joshua Tree is a mobile compact home designed by Italy-based Hangar Design Group combining the warmth and cozy wood structure of mountain home, the size and look of a cabin, and the flexibility of an RV.
Oh, A-cero, what can I say about you other than you continue to create some of the most amazing homes I’ve ever seen. I really want to move to Spain. The water features in this home are truly spectacular.
This week I had the opportunity to walk up these steps and into this amazing home at 1610 Carla Ridge in Beverly Hills, which was designed and built by Steve Hermann Design. As you walk into this masterpiece you are instantly greeted by the city lights, sparkling brightly, just beyond the edge of the infinity pool.
The combination of two apartments by Belmont Freeman Architects, located at the top of a landmark art deco tower, creates a flowing loft-like living space. A new kitchen is screened from the living room by a partial-height wall, while oversized glass doors open out onto large terraces. A blue-gray terrazzo floor is used throughout to unify the apartment.
The Folded Roof House by Claesson Koivisto Rune is located in Muskö, on the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden.The roofline resembles a butterfly roof, and the vertical wood exterior reinforces the large vertical windows on all sides of the home. I like how the interior is very stark white but the pops of green from the foliage and the rug are the main focus.
My house has an extension, but it’s nothing like this box extension designed by Arhitektid Muru & Pere. The box is covered with crisscrossed sticks, making it look like a highly-structured rectangular, modern and stylish bird’s nest that even glows in the dark.
This residence designed by Andrés Jaque Arquitectos in Ibiza, Spain is an environmental project aimed at preserving the beauty of its natural surroundings while the use of an aquamarine color keeps the continuity between the inside and the outside. The house consists of three parts: a main house and two huts. These three elements have distant views of the sea and their separation allows an easy division of the garden.
HEAD Architecture takes a boring space and transforms it into a lively, fun place to work.
From the architects:
Topline’s existing factory and office in Dongguan – a rather drab Chinese industrial building with attached dormitory – were given an overhaul to give them a more modern branded feel. This was intended to last for the 18 month period while their new premises were under design and construction. A totally remodeled entrance and waiting area were created. Corporate colours and large promotional images were used to add colour and clarity to spaces. Departments were rationalized and a new boardroom with greatly increased seating capacity added. The refectory – the social centre for the staff – was given vivid graphics and lighting, along with the provision of table football and other games for recreational use.
F-White House by Takaro Yamamoto Architects located in Tokyo, Japan is a one-story, single family residence with a courtyard. The size of the site where it is built permitted the architects to build a courtyard with privacy, and it was placed in an oblique angle in the middle of the space to maintain the unified feeling of the entire house. Each space within the house has a different level of privacy and when you’re in the courtyard, you can see different scenes at every corner.
