- Open Loft in Stockholm Featuring Colourful Accents
| Contemporary Home Embedded in Nature: the Harkavy Residence Posted: 07 Mar 2011 06:44 AM PST The contemporary Harkavy residence was designed by Us architect Robert Gurney and is located in Potomac, Maryland, USA. Found on HomeDSGN, the residence stretches over an area of 2,900 square feet and is oriented towards the forest. Here is a short description from the architects. The sequence of entry is defined by a series of walls, intended to privatize and delineate the approach and entry into the house. The walls, garage volume and house become a threshold between the road and the wooded parkland. The house is composed of three volumes articulated with varying roof forms. A two-story wood volume anchors the composition. A butterfly-shaped roof is employed to open views southward and sloped to funnel rainwater into a collection system. With simple forms rendered in sensory materials, the house becomes a small part of the larger landscape, providing a place to witness trees changing colors, fog rolling in from the not too distant Potomac River and deer herds wandering to the edge of the woods.

| Fun Table with Blackboards Popping Out: Writable by Tianyu Xiao Posted: 07 Mar 2011 03:06 AM PST Some people find it easier to explain something with the help of a pen and paper. Other people scribble down different things while using the phone. For those who love to draw, the innovative Writable can be of real help. Created to sustain the need for writing, the Writable features three blackboards that pop out just when you need them, with the help of one single move. Three such blackboards that can be flipped are set on a table with a modern, clean look. With this addition to the furniture, your communication skills could improve and you will have a lot more fun. Writable was also exhibited at the Stockholm furniture fair 2011. Designer Tianyu Xiao speaks about his creation: “Writable is a unique table, which allows notes to be written onto the table surface easily. It creates a new way of communicating and enhances the relationship between people in real life. It offers possibilities for different kinds of people to use it in a way that suits them.”

| Open Loft in Stockholm Featuring Colourful Accents Posted: 07 Mar 2011 02:00 AM PST For a bit over $1,400,000, this amazing loft in the Norrmalm neighbourhood of Stockholm can be your next residence. But until someone buys it, we can take some inspiration from its surprisingly bright and colourful interior design. The realtors at Eklund Stockholm New York describe the apartment as a: ” truly spectacular and definitely a must see cause there is no other place like this one. Enjoy your own private outdoor space, a lofty feel, nice open spaces and great renovations.” With its white and bright background, the apartment steals the attention with an interesting mixture of natural colours, accentuated by red and black. In the middle of the living room, a hammock dangles from the double-height ceiling, offering the possibility of relaxing in an unusual way. The large open rooms of the loft create a modern space with everything you need: a double-height living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom and a kids room, a contemporary dressing room and an open office space/library.
