| Multifaceted Concrete House in Belgium With 18 Windows Posted: 29 Feb 2012 04:43 AM PST
Completed in 2011, House BM is part of Architecten De Vylder Vinck Taillieu‘s residential portfolio. This 304 square meter concrete house in Ghent, Belgium was built as part of the tree-filled property. Starting from a map with the exact position and diameter of every tree on the property, the architects had to come up with a solution to building the house without interfering with the surroundings. The result is a multifaceted round structure, with an interior courtyard defined by mature trees.
A total of 18 windows spread across the facade and interior courtyard allows the interaction between the interiors and the exteriors, constructing an interesting connection. Built on a foundation that allows tree roots to expand in any direction, House BM respects its surroundings and displays a set of carefully designed spaces that care for the inhabitant’s need for comfort. Interiors dressed in concrete finishes contribute to the overall strength and design, but also define a contemporary collection of interior spaces.

| Half Graffiti, Half Blank Hotel Panic Room By Tilt Posted: 29 Feb 2012 03:39 AM PST
Slashing a hotel room in two has never looked so interesting! This half white, half graffiti-covered interior can be admired at the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France. Each of the five rooms of the hotel are annually redesigned by artists, graphic designers, and painters from all over, each of them lending a unique style to the interiors. This Graffiti-styled room was named “the Panic Room” and was created by artist Tilt featuring Tober, Grizz and Don Cho.
The photos were taken by Big Addict (aka Roudet Benjamin) and convey an overwhelming feeling of duality. Half of the hotel room was painted in white, with a few framed canvases that seem to balance the graffiti side of the room. Painted over the walls, mirror, bed, ceiling and floors, vividly colored bombs, tags and throw-ups stop right in the middle of the room, where the boring, white half begins. Found on MyModernMet, this surprisingly inviting urban sketch turns the peaceful room into a noisy description of modern society.

| Sophisticated Living Style Mirrored by a Massive Residence in Colorado Posted: 29 Feb 2012 12:10 AM PST
Kern Residence was developed by Semple Brown Design and is a massive, 12,000 square foot project located in Castle Pines, Colorado. One of the main objectives of the architecture team was to create a modern and sophisticated building, one that would mirror the personality of the owners. All these, while adapting to the site's meticulously manicured landscape: “In order to best respond to the site and relate the structure to its context, the entry point into the house needed to be a full story lower in elevation than the arrival point onto the site, thus resulting in the challenge of gracefully bringing the home owners and visitors alike down to the front door through a landscaped outdoor room. The interior spaces are laid-out in a horizontal format with clean modern lines, carrying the language of the exterior inside. There is a strong and deliberate dialog between the exterior and interior spaces created within this project“. Enjoy this project’s overall appearance?

| Use of Details In Interestingly-Shaped Swedish Apartment Posted: 28 Feb 2012 09:46 AM PST
Welcoming inhabitants with an irregularly shaped hallway, this 54 square meters condo in Gothenburg is suited for someone who loves cozy, interestingly shaped residential spaces. The versatile apartment offers social and resting spaces in the same bright room, while the kitchen was designed to display a welcoming design. The living room is used as both the bedroom and the entertainment room, and the small walk-in closet with mirrored doors and the pantry occupying a corner of the kitchen offer plenty of storage space.
Windows facing both east and west flood the spaces with natural light bouncing off white walls and wallpapered kitchen wall. Three meter high ceilings offer the possibility of building a loft to shelter the bed and offer an interesting twist to the versatile space. The hallway opens to a small, unusually shaped bathroom with natural stone floors, with walls partly covered in white tiles. Spotted on Alvhem, the charming condominium features the original hardwood floors, a detail that offers elegance enhanced by the use of a playful, vividly colored wallpaper in the kitchen. If this would be your next home, how would you transform the space to suit your own needs?

| Jungle Collection by Ceramica Cielo: Fashion For The Bathroom Posted: 28 Feb 2012 08:45 AM PST
In the fashion world, trends come and go literally as quick as the seasons change. One minute it’s all about colour blocking, the next everyone is going mad for pastel colours, stripes or lace. The trends that we see on the catwalk often tend to filter through to interior design, whether that be the colours, patterns, prints, textures or materials. However, the products that seem to be most influenced by the fashion world are usually fabrics, wallpapers and other soft furnishings. We don’t normally tend to think of sanitaryware as being subject to the seasonal changes of the fashion world.
Italian bathroom manufacturer Ceramica Cielo has set out to change that. It’s new Jungle collection is like a haute couture line of sanitary ware that wouldn’t be out of place in a fashion shoot. Following careful experimentaion with an exclusive technology, Ceramica Cielo has found a way to enhance the visual and tactile properties of ceramic giving its new bathroom line a distinctly fashionable look. The unexpected finish is reminiscent of crocodile or python skin and begs to be touched and admired. The collection is available in a more traditional white, a sophisicated black, an exotic dundee brown, an eye-catching cowhide or a racy red.
So what do you think? Is this collection the ultimate fashion accessory for your home? Would you like to match your bathroom to your shoes or your handbag? Or is this a step too far?
