Engagement With the Landscape: San Lorenzo Residence, USA Posted: 15 Mar 2013 11:22 AM PDT Complementing the nature, the San Lorenzo Residence adds a touch of value to the surrounding landscapes, without “stealing” their glory. Ideal for a family that seeks an airy lifestyle and overall, peacefulness, the house located in Los Angeles, USA, nearby a golf course, responds to the needs of the clients: it is spacious and it promotes the idea of open (and transparent) living space. Designed and developed by Mike Jacobs Architecture, the residence is an uncluttered home environment, with a spectacular interior private garden. “The large open living space is central to the organization and performance of the house; the space of exchange. Pocket sliding doors open the south wall to the garden and north facing windows unfold to view the fairways create direct connections to the exterior. These large openings passively cool the house and draw fresh air deep into the residual spaces to naturally ventilate the home.”  The house is perceived as the intersection of two L-shaped blocks uniting: one accommodates the social living space with the living room and the lounge area, that can be used for different outdoor activities and the other one, wrapped in cedar and stucco, the bedrooms.

Playfulness Meets Rustic Elegance: The Nussberg Penthouse Posted: 15 Mar 2013 02:10 AM PDT We love creative interiors! Creativity is a matter of practice, like many other things in life. There’s no doubt that anyone can be creative, as long as he or she looks for less ordinary approaches. When we first saw the Nussberg Penthouse interior, in Vienna, we thought that the client really wanted “a house to remember”. And that’s exactly what Beef Architekti (the studio responsible with the decoration) managed to deliver to their client. Exquisite, playful and with a touch of rustic elegance, the Nussberg Penthouse, with its bohemian setting (an old Vienna hotel with an exterior spiral staircase), seeks to offer a unique living experience, by blending the natural feel with the contemporary comfort. The penthouse, located on a hill, overlooks the wonderful city. The apartment stands out, due to its “excess” of brightness. You can enjoy wonderful moments, watching the sun at dusk or drink a cup of coffee in the morning, on the terrace. Wood floorings, chairs and different shades of brown, create an environment of natural and almost cottage-like inspiration. The paintings on the walls and the colourful rugs, though, transform it into a more interesting and contemporary home. The result: a playful, creative and bright modern interior.
