contemporary house 11 Massive Two Level Family Residence in Seattle by Pb Elemental

Pb Elemental Architecture (you may be familiar with their project Dang Residence) completed the design of Azaya House, a modern project in Seattle, USA, especially developed for for a young couple with two small children. The imposing home is a result of a design conversion; the architects were commissioned to restore and transform a a vacant tear down building with easterly views of Lake Washington: “The property was perfect due to the condition of the existing foundation. Our design was able to incorporate it into the building creating a unique layout, fitting a modern home on a old chassis. The living level is flanked with a South facing lot capturing light and views. An exterior staircase was designed to add access to the rooftop deck which was sited privately to provide a place of refuge and relaxation“. The two level residence accommodates three bedrooms on the bottom floor, with the living area, kitchen and media room on the second level. [Photography: Miguel Edwards]

Contemporary Art Collector’s Dynamic Colorful Loft

Posted: 18 Jun 2012 04:13 AM PDT

Colorful Loft by architect Jean Verville 1 Contemporary Art Collectors Dynamic Colorful Loft

Collecting contemporary art is an occupation that takes up a lot of space. This necessitates a collection of spaces where art stands out, but merging this with a living space posed a challenge for architect Jean Verville, who worked on this project located in downtown Montreal. The Canadian architect designed a loft for an art collector, basing the concept on an unusual set of focal points. Colors make up an interesting, playful space arrangement, while the pure white details soften the overall atmosphere. The Colorful Loft not only displays astounding creations, but it also becomes a modern studio filled with inspiration for the artist’s new projects. Captured in between the walls of this bright and open space, objects, colors and textures mirror in one large wall, accentuating the need for a slightly simpler bedroom. Yellow floods this private space, helping in hiding storage spaces and creating a dynamic interior design even in the absence of usual furniture. Do you like the way this apartment turned out?

Situated in a building from the early 1900s, this small and cleverly planned apartment found on Stadshem is a subtle fusion of old and new. With a total living area of 65 square meters and two rooms, the place seems full of space and light. White is the predominant color throughout in this Gothenburg home, aesthetically contrasting the masonry red brick wall and the tasteful furniture additions. The entire crib is centered around an open plan living area, connected to the kitchen. Flooded in natural light and featuring plenty of seating space, this interior is an open invite to socializing. The hall seems elongated with abundant daylight from the surrounding rooms and offers plenty of hidden storage space. One of the most peaceful interiors of the apartment is the bedroom, with its cozy, king-sized bed and lovely desk by the window.

Castlecrag residence 1 20th Century Brick Bungalow Converted into Light Filled Modern Home

Plenty of natural light and good airflow set a relaxing ambiance for the Castlecrag Residence, a contemporary home located in Sydney, Australia. The photos below present the result of a striking transformation: an inward-looking mid-20th century brick bungalow was converted by CplusC Architectural Workshop into a residential project with a modern layout that allows nature indoors. “The Kitchen is the pivotal room in the home, with Western Red Cedar doors disappearing seamlessly behind recycled brickwork allowing the internal living space to extend to a double-volume outdoor living space where spotted gum decking leads to the garden and swimming pool. he spatial planning of the home locates the private bedroom spaces on the first floor and social living and social spaces on the ground floor. The bold Spotted Gum stair anchors these spaces and brings the natural warmth of the timber into the heart of the home“. Wood is the defining element of the design, gradually revealing its aesthetic and functional qualities, with each new showcased interior-have a look!

Werner Neumann’s Ostentatious Organic Birchwood Furniture Collection

Posted: 17 Jun 2012 12:22 PM PDT

Werner Neumann 1 Werner Neumanns Ostentatious Organic Birchwood Furniture Collection

Covered in birch bark, the surprising furniture collection from Netherlands-based furniture designer Werner Neumann has everything it needs to be successful – form, material, function and design. Upholstered leather seating and geometric wood drawers meet in this ostentatious collection of furniture pieces including sofas, armchairs, consoles, tables and cabinets. Birch barks used to create a very natural feel were found in the forest – conjuring a powerful connection between interior spaces displaying any of these pieces of furniture and their source. Some pieces were finished with epoxy and paint, while others showcase their natural beauty, unmarked by change. Werner Neumann’s Birchwood Collection is described as a result of combining materials and feelings: “Werner Neumann’s Birchwood collection is born from his love of material and lightness of form. Touched by the beauty of birch bark, Neumann allowed the material to keep it’s natural value and turned it into a practical work of design.”
