Beautiful House Integrated in the Natural Environment of the Residential Area Posted: 11 Jun 2010 09:12 AM PDT The initial idea of this project is to integrate the house in the natural environment of the residential area in which it is. In that way, the house looks to the fantastic views of lakes and green extensions that spread over the common areas of the estate. The structure's house is based on game of two rectangular volumes. They are solving with clean finishes, good materials and exclusive qualities. The verandas and the pergolas, elements as volumetric as the housing, give personality to the facade. The covering as such disappears turning into a flat roof as expression of the evolution of the creative process. The forms purity moves to the constructive scheme, to the materials and to the environment impelling the union between the building and the context where it is located. The housing, of 800m2 of surface, develops in a height. The principal access adapts itself to an area of average slope.Inside the following stays are located: foyer, room of kitchen is, dining room, office, larder, a cleaning of courteousness, seven bedrooms (with his respective baths, two dressing-rooms and a patio. In the later part, across big large windows, there is lounge that is opened for the garden, the swimming pool and for the natural scenery that offers the urban development. It surrounds itself with a landscaping realized with attractive interventions composed by lakes, birds and a big arboreal extension. In the exterior the pedestrian ways and the central landscaped area incorporate a vegetation of indigenous character, resistant to the climate of the area. The stockades of every plot and the trees and shrubs planted along the same ones, they delimit perfectly the transit between the private ownership and the community one.

25 Modern Kitchen Designs That Will Rock Your Cooking World Posted: 11 Jun 2010 02:53 AM PDT This post goes out to all of you out there interested in modern kitchen designs. For today we thought about gathering a collection of fabulous ideas that would serve as a good source of inspiration for anyone thinking about redecorating. All the arrangements in the pictures below have a contemporary feel and fit great in modern houses or apartments. The color palette is various and we also tried to find some kitchen designs that featured a certain theme. Wood is present in most of the interiors, creating a warm environment. When decorating, also keep in mind to add some flower arrangements as they have the ability of really cheering up a place. We tried to keep things modern, not necessarily futuristic, but you will notice some visionary decoration ideas along the way. Some of the chairs and tables have really interesting shapes which are perfectly integrated in the rest of the design. Some kitchens are enriched with exciting wall ornaments such as paintings or other decorative items. We hope you will enjoy these modern kitchen designs and stay tuned, because we have another post coming soon on traditional kitchens. |
Casa en el Bosque: Where Design Meets Nature Posted: 10 Jun 2010 12:00 PM PDT Located in a fascinating natural environment in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, Casa en el Bosue (or “the House in the Forrest”) comes from Parque Humano, an architecture company with a very captivating portfolio. This beautiful home is so perfectly integrated in the surrounding landscape and so elegantly camouflaged that it seems it has always been there. More information on the residence from the architects: “Two pavilions, unequal in size, are set in front of the pool area. The first and biggest one contains the living and dining spaces, kitchen and a working studio. The second one: two bedrooms. Each pavilion was carefully placed on the site, incorporating all the existing trees into the program and facing the most important views.Visitors are received under the protection of a steel enclosure, entering through a small door that leads to the living room, thereby emphasizing the contrast between the closed nature of the entrance and the full openness of the living spaces and the valley itself.”
