Found by Freshome on Alvhem, this four room apartment in Linnéstaden, Gothenburg boasts 114 square meters divided in three bedrooms, a generously-sized living, kitchen and bathroom.

What we like most about this Swedish home is how the designers managed to infuse it with an original vibe. Acting as the social core of the apartment, the living room inspires cheerfulness throughout. Color is the main actor here, abundantly employed in pillow cases, paintings and furniture upholstery. The original looking chandelier seem to sprinkle even more good spirits.

Borrowing From The Rich Personality of Its Surroundings: Pobble House in England

Pobble House is an original looking timber frame residence paying tribute to the qualities and architectural history of its special location in Ashford, Kent, England: “Owing to the site’s significance, local planning policy dictates that any new building must replace an existing one and is to be of similar scale and proportion to that of the original. To this end a material palette was chosen that would enhance with age. Whilst being designed to a tight budget of under £250,000, the building has a very high quality and robust nature to withstand the harsh climate”, explained the team at Guy Hollaway Architects.

Offering high standard living conditions, this retreat was especially designed to accommodate two families with three children each. According to the architects, the entrance to the building is low key and protected from the harsh conditions. A large open plan kitchen, dining and living area form the heart of the home. Large format glazing and picture windows allow the inhabitants to witness panoramic views over the spectacular site.

Brilliant Outdoor Room Substituting the Entry Hall in Modern Mountain Home

Posted: 04 Sep 2014 10:53 AM PDT

Nestled between the Teton Range to the west and the Gros Ventre Range to the east in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA, this modern mountain home is a dream home to Clay Heighten and his wife, Debra Caudy, a dream they didn’t know they had. Leaving most decisions to Larry Pearson of Pearson Design Group who’s impressive portfolio could make anyone take this decision, the owners themselves were baffled by the results. Absorbing the fascinating landscape it rests in, this astounding modern mountain home is a 5,400 square foot retreat built in only 16 months for a total budget of $4 million.

Simply known as JH Modern, the contemporary mountain home was tailored exactly to the owner’s wishes. They requested a home that blends with the surroundings and has outdoor living areas, where they could just leave the door open to walk in and out. This translated into the architect’s brilliant idea of substituting the entry hall with an outdoor room. This front deck became the focal point, the furniture here was chosen to withstand harsh weather. Panoramas and subtle blending of building materials compose an awe-inspiring overall appeal.

If you want to know the whole story of the house and what it represents for the owners, head over to New York Times and enjoy!

We published an intricate table design on Freshome a while back, developed using a Boeing 777 wheel. This time we would like to focus on this Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Conference Table, a spectacular furniture piece by the talented team at MotoArt. Formed from a General Electric engine nacelle, the unconventional project seats up to twelve people and includes a set of optional data ports. Artistic, powerful and highly original, this piece caught our undivided attention and we believe it will have the same effect on you.

Here is a technical excerpt from the official description provided by the manufacturers: “Although fit for the Guggenheim, it's better as a defining element for a modern office environment. At 12' wide and sporting a high-mirror polish, the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Conference Table is simply commanding. Perfectly complementing the outer finish is a custom fabricated engine stator set with internal multicolored LED lighting topped with a polished spun aluminum dome, which lies beneath an elegant 1/2" round tempered glass top.” Have a look at the video at the end of the post to see the table from various perspectives and tell us what you think !
