| Stunning One Of A Kind Ukrainian Loft Apartment Posted: 19 Nov 2011 06:12 AM PST
This fascinating Ukrainian Apartment has so many incredible details, that it could be considered one of the best apartments I have seen lately. The top floor apartment designed by Ukrainian architecture studio 2B Group is located in a building in Kiev, Ukraine. The inspiring interior design captures a multitude of styles, all designed to offer a seamless collection of textures, colors, shapes and materials. Wood, concrete, glass, metal, exposed brick – all these materials found their place in the apartment’s interior design and surprising lines and details were shaped with their help. A green wall in the living/dining space brings nature indoors and a small terrace just above it allows a fantastic view of the mirror-framed ray-textured wall displaying the TV and sound system. Design details like the fabulous concrete wine rack embedded in the kitchen wall or the perfectly embedded stone poufs give the living space a unique, strong character. A red container shelters a black and yellow bathroom. The green wall continues down to the lower floor, where an impressive lounge/home office space and a second living space lead to the gorgeous master bedroom. The children’s room and bathroom are cheery and bold, creating an inspiring place to grow up in. The exceptional rooftop terrace is lined with geometric floor lights and features everything needed to enjoy the best of modern architecture and lifestyle. Looking at the photos, you can see how amazing details were placed in the right spots, creating a one-of-a-kind loft apartment, on my list for the best dream homes.

| Freshome Saturday Design Spotter 6 Posted: 18 Nov 2011 02:32 PM PST Hello, everyone and welcome to another Saturday of great finds. For today we gathered up some interesting interiors that we believe will nicely add up to your decorating ideas. The first photo we would like to feature is taken in a spectacular looking apartment located in Darlinghurst, New South Wales, Australia. This particular interior is the focal point of the house and accommodates some of the wackiest elements this loft has to offer, such as a SPA and a barbecue section. Find it appealing?
Now this is a nice setting for a piano player to practice his or her skills. Enormous windows and giant palm-trees right outside your home could definitely count as good inspiration sources.
Here is an interesting red furniture piece that not only brings color to the room, but also adds dynamism. The random-shaped storage units (some of them inclined) can be quite useful when integrated in an office or a modern living room.
Reading corners are a real trend these days and we couldn’t be happier about it. Not only do they encourage reading, but they do it in such a delightful and aesthetic way, don’t you agree? Here is one below to stir up your story appetite.
This bedroom does not come with a view, but with two of them. One through the large, floor to ceiling windows (or sliding door) and the other, through the ceiling. Find this idea practical?
This room is probably good for taking some time off in solitude, or have your friends over for a board-game. Slanted walls and large windows give it a great atmosphere, especially if some of the candles on the stairs are lit.
We really like the contrast that the timber creates with the yellow quartz and the games of light and shades which can be observed in the photo below. The little girl going down the stairs gives the whole interior a happy look.
The geometry of this room is intriguing, but in the same time original and inspiring. The exposed wooden beams, together with the curved lines of the sofa and chair create unusual lines that playfully direct your sight around the room.
Not a bad looking outdoor terrace, wouldn’t you agree? This photo was taken of a project called “The Letterbox House” and built on a modest suburban beach home scale. Its shape is truly ingenious, just click the link in this paragraph for the initial article, as featured on Freshome.
We will end this week’s design spotter in a good mood. To be more exact, with an atmosphere created by plenty of city lights, a pool and seating space for two. Enjoy the show and tune up next week for round 7.
