| Sleek Ocean Liner Inspired Croatian Hotel in Rovinj: Hotel Lone Posted: 28 Jul 2011 06:44 AM PDT Having designed Hotel Lone as a fabulously contemporary place to enjoy a vacation, 3LHD Architects searched for better ways to induce a feeling of comfort and relaxation suited for those blissful days without work. Located in Rovinj, Croatia, in the exclusive Monte Mulini neighborhood, the hotel features 248 rooms – all conceived to offer exceptional services and quality facilities. Inspired by the typology of 1970s Croatian hotels, Hotel Lone displays a stunning resemblance to a “sleek white ocean liner floating on the hillside“. Guests checking in can enjoy the multitude of services and facilities the hotel has to offer: three restaurants, three bars and a night club, a Mediterranean-inspired wellness center, a 600-seat auditorium and nine meeting and conference spaces featuring state-of-the-art technology. Organized to resemble the Croatian coast terraced hotels with large lobbies, Hotel Lone features “a "Y"-shaped structure created along the coast to give all rooms spectacular sea or park views, and a dramatic hotel lobby opens up towards the sky with an atrium spanning six levels. Respect for the environment is shown in the interior design, with integration of the natural surroundings into many of the hotel's public and private spaces through large glass walls and mirrors.“ Did the hotel’s architecture and interior design convince you to spend one of your holidays there?

| Ingenious Portable Burner: Move Your Hotplate by Chan Hyun Park Posted: 28 Jul 2011 05:40 AM PDT Designer Chan Hyun Park came up with a terrific idea that will probably boost the spirits of every cook out there. The product is called “iMove Your Hotplate” and allows you to safely grab the hot cooking recipient and move it wherever you wish, once the food is done. This basically means no more oven mitts, potholders and unwanted burns. Even though this smart portable burner is intended for camping and small homes, we find it to be a great product to have around, no matter what the crib size. A 2011 iF concept design entry, iMove Your Hotplate comes with a slick, modern appearance that is easy to integrate in any contemporary kitchen. We salute this simple, elegant and clever idea seen on Yanko and invite all of you happy campers to speak your mind by leaving a comment below.

| Tricoloured Mallorcan Dream House Reflecting in The Pool Posted: 28 Jul 2011 03:42 AM PDT Looking at this modern home, anyone can be influenced by its clean, contemporary architecture and fantastic use of materials. Mallorcan architect Miguel Angel Lacomba used exceptional creativity when integrating this white sandstone construction into the surroundings. The client brief stated simplicity at the top of the wish list and the architect constructed a white fairy-tale home with clean design lines, accentuated by the use of brown for the shutters. The whole residence and the mountains behind it reflect in the blue pool, as if a twin home lied at the base of this Mallorcan house. The cubic volume in the middle shelters the master bedroom, while the other rooms spread on each of its sides. White, grey and a warm brown compose the main colour palette of the residence, creating a comfortable and elegant atmosphere. The south-facing residence features glass sliding doors and sliding wood shutters that protect the interior spaces from natural elements and overheating. The interiors are filled with light and filtered light, depending on whether the glass doors or shutters are open or closed. Inspiring interiors and a clean, simple exterior make this residence a strong candidate for a dream home, don’t you think?

| A Great Place of Retreat: Modern Home in St. Helena, California Posted: 28 Jul 2011 02:35 AM PDT Butler Armsden Architects designed an impressive looking modern home in St. Helena, Napa Valley, California. Using a highly contemporary approach, the designers aimed at creating a home suited for a retired couple. The owners’ need for peacefulness was met by a complete isolation from the street ensured by a garage and studio that are interposed between the living spaces and the passers-by. The interiors are quite spectacular, featuring modern arrangements and appealing interior design details. The overall feeling is that of space and comfort. A generous open plan living room with pool views connects the first floor with the one from above through a lovely stairway with wooden steps. The master bedroom looks particularly inviting, with its king-sized bed and beautiful, relaxing views. We invite you to have a look at the photos and share your opinions with us.

| Turning a Mid-Century Building into a Captivating Modern Crib: Elm House Posted: 28 Jul 2011 01:13 AM PDT Elm House is a striking 1955 home renovation achieved by Mitchell Weisberg. The residence has a total living area of 2,069 square feet and accommodates four bedrooms and three bathrooms. A large courtyard directs the visitors towards the garage and the main house entrance. This may be a mid-century building, but nothing in its interior design betrays this fact. The interiors are highly modern, with floor to ceiling glass windows which provide exceptional views of the surrounding landscape. The core of the residence is an open plan living room with a large socializing area, an all-equipped kitchen, a dining table and a contemporary fireplace. The white traditional ceiling makes an interesting contrast with the design details below. A generous outdoor terrace communicates with the living room. This is a perfect place for a barbecue and/or friend gatherings. What do you think of the interior decors this home displays?

| Exterior Home Slats Based on Fibonacci Series of Numbers: HHGO Garden Residence Posted: 27 Jul 2011 10:21 AM PDT HHGO Garden Residence was designed by architects Sören Hanft in collaboration with Jens Casper and is located in Oldenburg, Germany. According to the project developers, “the horizontal slats of different widths are based in their arrangement on the Fibonacci series of numbers” (a number sequence where every number is obtained by the sum of the previous two numbers) : “This creates an anomaly that affects the design harmoniously. The silvery-brown to dark gray-colored glazed larch wood, the structure can be visually blend with the natural surroundings of the garden and takes the same color of the weathering of the wood in advance. While the facade of the exterior into the interior continues to draw the boundaries between inside and outside are broken up visually. The house is divided into three units, which are sensitive in their regional planning (optimal) are adapted to the lifestyle and the (future) needs of residents“.

All the lights come with a bright white low energy bulb. The collection gathers beautifully designed lighting systems: a spherical pendant lamp, a large spherical table or floor lamp, a conical pendant lamp, a large conical table or floor lamp, a cylindrical pendant lamp and a cylindrical table or floor lamp.
