| Made From A Single Piece Of Cedar Wood: Creus by Riva Posted: 04 Feb 2012 03:56 AM PST
For those of you who love the unpretentious design lines obtained from natural wood, the Creus Armchair by Italian company Riva will be an object of desire. Spotted on Trendir, this interesting chair is a wooden piece of furniture designed to offer comfort and display its natural shape among other modern furniture items. The simple and elegant design was obtained by sculpting a single piece of cedar wood into a beautiful chair. Following the body’s natural curves, the Creus armchair displays its backrest and seating side while inviting guests to relax on a unique piece of seating furniture. The cedar retained its texture and imperfections only to give the chair a subtle elegance merged with the result of modern furniture-building technologies. The leather seat, available in a wide range of colors, can become the detail that makes it perfect for your home. With a brushed metal base, the design was taken to new heights, adding modernity to a natural design and offering a strong and stable base for the overall design.

| Sustainable Home with Unique Design Features Near the Great Barrier Reef Posted: 04 Feb 2012 12:39 AM PST
The design collaboration between Simon Laws of Anthill Constructions led to the development of an original home entitled Drew House and located in Queensland, Australia. Situated near the famous Great Barrier Reef, it goes without saying that this dwelling had to be as environmentally-friendly as possible. Here is how the architects took this challenge: “Living and sleeping pods along with a bath house were built in Brisbane, close to construction services and transported the 500 km to the fully completed site. The prefabricated parabolic roofed structure and decks were erected on site and the various pods were connected through a large central outdoor living and dining area. Natural oiled timbers and other low-finished materials create a neutral environment that along with the dynamic indoor/outdoor spaces, allow the maximum enjoyment of the wonderful bushland setting and mild sub-tropical climate. Rainwater tanks, solar hot water and electrical panels and a passive energy efficient design make the house largely self sufficient“. Modern living, beauty all around and peacefulness: find this home as appealing as we do?

| Waterfront Modern Home with Luxurious Design Features Posted: 03 Feb 2012 09:12 AM PST
We received some photos and information about a contemporary home from Blueprint Designs. Here is the press release we were sent: “The owners of this luxury waterfront home were looking for a modern building design that suit canal water front living. They also wanted the house design to give the appearance of a two story home but without the price. The solution was to build a home with a central atrium that provides both light and ventilation as well giving the look. The design uses parapet walls, stone cladding, matrix sheeting and perspex paneling to the garage door. This gives the home a ultra modern feel that the owners were looking for. When entering the home the main breezeway broadens when proceeding into the living areas. Open living areas provide a vista of views of the waterfront. The modern feel of the kitchen keeps the same recessed lines used in the exterior facade helping to tie in a theme to the rest of the building. The Kitchen is also equipped with a scullery and has direct access to the outdoor barbecue and alfresco areas. The design includes 4 bedrooms, music room, family and dining as well as the triple garage. Energy efficiency is also excellent using a 3.0Kva solar photo-voltaic system and gas appliances giving a quarterly power bill under $50.00″. Does this type of modern home appeal to you?
