| Modern Round Summer Fireplace: Zero by AK47 Design Posted: 23 Jun 2011 05:45 AM PDT
Perfect for those well-deserved, relaxing summer nights, the Zero Fireplace from AK47 Design stole my heart right from the start. After having featured the Thor Fireplace, we found this inspiring round fireplace has one specific goal: to bring people together. The designers speak about the fireplace’s comforting features: “An outdoor wood fireplace, a nest in which to seek refuge, enjoying the warmth of the fire: the eccentric dance of the flames is replaced by the silent burning of the embers. A sweet warmth that comforts your guests.” It comes neatly packed with several accessories – like the grill, cover disc and combustion chamber – that turn it from a simple wood burning fireplace to an artistic decoration that gathers friends and family around a cosy fire. The firewood container, alongside the closing disk that covers the combustion chamber, protects the fireplace from damaging rain. The round steel fireplace displays a contemporary shape that encourages communication and relaxation. Easy to assemble, the Zero Fireplace will be there whenever you need the company of friends and flames.

| Refined Wave Kitchen with Concealed Hinges and No Handles Posted: 23 Jun 2011 02:25 AM PDT
For today we would like to showcase an interesting kitchen design developed by Designer Makers Furniture. Here is the press release we received: “The Wave kitchen was designed for a couple with an open brief, they just wanted something different with features to suit them and the WOW factor. The clients were presented with a number of ideas but the 'Wave' design was the one they loved straight away. Ripple Maple was chosen in order to match an existing maple floor and oak and walnut were used as a beautifully contrasting detail. It's original and contemporary with a classic art deco feel but underneath its good looks it is functional and durable as kitchens of the highest quality must always be. Special features of the kitchen include concealed hinges and no handles ( instead push devices were installed), curved cabinets and deep drawers to maximize storage in tricky areas, specialist appliances i.e. Quooker tap, Miele induction hob and industrial quality extraction and solid wood worktops.” How do you like this kitchen idea?

| An Explosion of Colors: Five-story Townhouse in San Francisco Posted: 23 Jun 2011 12:35 AM PDT
Mark Tracy, interior design consultant for Chemical Spaces, recently sent us his newest project. Here are the photos and information we received: “This five-story townhouse on San Francisco's famed Lombard street, is designed level by level, each having it's own distinct feel. The fifth and top floor is a bright, artistic, modern design anchored by a custom HZL Henzel rug on metallic silver hardwood floors with direct views of Alcatraz and the bay. The fourth floor offers a sleek modern kitchen with Scavolini cabinets, beside a lounge with a fireplace surrounded by Italian red porcelain tile. Exposed concrete flooring extends from the kitchen and lounge to the dining area which sits beside a party terrace with views of the city. The third floor hosts the master bedroom and bath, while the first and second floors open to a dance-club-like party area. The stand-out features include a steel catwalk with glass flooring, 160" retractable movie screen, bar with built-in 80's-style arcade game, RGB LED dance club lighting, and fifteen 60" squares of custom art and mirrors which float up the walls and ceiling, each back-lit with LED lighting.” [Photography: David Marquardt]

| Delightful Minimalist Home in France: The Snail House Posted: 22 Jun 2011 07:52 AM PDT
The charming Snail House was designed by Atelier d.org and is located in Reinhardsmunster, France. Its original architecture was imposed by the terrain, a very challenging slope According to the architects, this layout offered many advantages, such as respect of the original land, minimal earth-moving, multiple openings with centered views, direct entrances to each storey (the roof is also fully used), small visual impact, efficient natural thermal insulation. The overall result is truly spectacular and the crib looks different from any standpoint. We particularly like the roof and the “entertainment” resources it implies. The interiors remind one of a beautiful modern mountain home. Good taste and impeccable planning contribute to this home’s image of a quiet and peaceful place to be. How do you appreciate the architecture of this home? [Photography: Stéphane Spach ]
