P12 House is a box-like two-storey beach house near Lima, Peru designed by Martin Dulanto Arquitecto. Fully-connected to the outdoors, the construction features several “cubes”, rectangular-shaped blocks at different scales made of wood and exposed concrete. The main “cube” comprises the living room and it represents the core of the project. Overlooking the serene beaches and the park situated in front of the house, P12 breaks the monotony of “normal” house design, erasing the boundaries between environments by simply removing the walls. Naturally, the sandy beaches and the seashore seem closer to the viewer then they really are.
Asides from the living room, there are other medium sized cubes integrated into the house plan (comprising the main bedroom for instance or the kitchen), which divide the entire living space into smaller units without disrupting the unity and wholeness of it. Interior feels airy and uncluttered. Tastefully decorated, the social area exhales a contemporary feel: soft furnishings in earthy walls marked with yellow dashes, glass tables and railing, luscious floors. The house’s basement area accommodates 3 bedrooms with corresponding bathrooms and a courtyard with reflecting pool, service bedroom and service bathroom. P12 also features an outdoor barbecue area and a deck and a pool.

Elegant Wave-Shaped Handle for Minimalist Contemporary Kitchens

Posted: 12 Apr 2014 09:17 AM PDT

This elegant wave-shaped handle was especially designed to adapt to modern kitchens and add a fashionable touch no matter what the chosen design scheme. Noma by Viefe is a discrete item, mainly due to its insignificant thickness of only 1.2mm, making it almost unnoticeable in the middle of a set of drawers. At the same time it stands out due to its suggestive wave-inspired minimalist contours.

The creative handle is available in two formats for two types of door thickness ranging from 19mm to 22mm. It is quick and easy to fit and intall. One of its most relevant characteristics is its versatility, as it can be positioned either on the right, the left or vertically. It is manufactured in aluminum and comes in a stainless steel appearance, which we hope you will find appealing. [Photos and information provided via e-mail by Viefe]
