NEW INTERIOR OF HOUSE
Strong Colors and an Overall Playful Vision: Polaris House in Massachusetts
With its name deriving from the North Star (easy to spot though the skylight the kid’s bedroom), Polaris House was designed by Boston-based architect Bob Augustine and is located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA. The exterior of the residence is adapted to the wood-defined architecture of the neighborhood. The entrance is easy to spot, due to the zinc-clad silo, contrasting the rest of the building finished in Western Red Cedar. The interiors were especially developed with a playful, childish vision in mind. Vivid colors and eye-catching lighting fixtures fill the house. As the client explained, the living space “is all about the kids.” A circular metal stair, painted in a striking industrial orange hue, acts as the focal point of the residence and guides inhabitants towards the second floor, where a library and a home office are located. Find this unusual color mix appealing?Ancient Meets Artsy in Contemporary Farmhouse Rebuild
Near the medieval Slovenian town of Škofja Loka, a farm property was transformed by the replacement of an ancient farm building with this crisp, modern three-story home. The home, built by Arhitetektura d.o.o., sits in exactly the same location as the farm building it replaced, sharing the very same dimensions, with the same slope used as a prominent influence in the home’s shape.Original Motorcycle-Friendly Apartment Building in Tokyo
This unusual motorcycle-friendly apartment building in Tokyo is the result of a design collaboration between Akiyoshi Takagi Architects, Nakae Architects and Ohno Japan- it wouldn’t come as a surprise if all these three companies shared a common interest. Structured on three levels and consisting of eight separate homes, the project was especially developed with adventure in mind, and when we say adventure, we mean the endless passion for the road shared by its inhabitants. Each of the eight housing units has its own built-in garage space to store the roaring motorcycles. The building itself is defined by concrete and was envisioned around a central courtyard. Its innovative architectural design ensures plenty of space for each apartment, not to mention room for the wheelers to ride a bit and make a complete turn. Talk about cool exclusive buildings!Garage Turned Into An Airy Urban Residence On Two Floors
This transformation of an old garage into a very stylish contemporary residence took place under the attentive supervision of Italian studio Ego Vitamina Creativa. The duplex apartment is located in a city in northern Italy, named Cuneo and bares the name Casa LD. Distributed on two floors connected by a sculptural staircase, the public and private spaces are linked through design and color palette. A bright, elegant downstairs living/dining/cooking area seems to be separated by a wide column pierced by a transparent fireplace, but the fluid spaces appear strongly connected. Wooden floors reflect in the wodden ceiling, displaying the same longitudinal design that seems to elongate rays of natural light coming through glass doors and windows. Ego Vitamina Creativa imagined a living space where design lines intertwine to shape a dark wooden piece of furniture running alongside the wall opposite the kitchen. This versatile construction acts as a storage space and supports the folded, painted and perforated metal staircase railing leading to the upstairs bedroom. This unique feature completes the apartment’s design and the floor plan proves that careful space arrangement also needs a focal point to create an interesting interior design.Tetris Inspired Facade of the Secondary School in Western Switzerland
The modular fenestration of this school building in western Switzerland was inspired by shapes from 1980s computer game Tetris. Designed by Swiss architects ipas, the four-storey block is an extension to an existing secondary school and a glass bridge connects it to the main building at second-floor level. The building is located near the forest and its large windows fully open the school on its wooded surroundings.Selasa, 26 Juni 2012
NEW MODEL HOUSE AND EDIFICE
The GT Tower East with Fascinating ‘Rippling’ Glass Facade by ArchitectenConsort
ArchitectenConsort have completed the GT Tower East in Seoul, South Korea. With its elegantly undulating glass facade, the new high-rise brings a fascinating change to the angular architecture of the Korean capital. The form and positioning of the 130-metre-high building are the impressive result of the vision of architects Peter Couwenbergh and Edgar Bosman of ArchitectenConsort. They chose a uniform, glass finish for the facade, which has resulted in an organically pure form. The undulating motion of the facades provides an optically changing primary form when passing the building. Combined with the reflection of the light in the glass, this gives the building a special, iconic appearance. The dynamic appearance of GT Tower East is reinforced by the sight of the building, that seems to be dropping down below street level. As it were the building rises out of the Korean soil and then reaches upwards in a dancing movement, up into the infinity of the sky.Casa G Cleverly Responds to Characteristic Landscape Situation
Gudmundur Jonsson Arkitektkontor designed this vacational house respecting the landscape that surrounds the house. The concept of Casa G is based on reading and feedback to the landscape it exists on. The characteristic landscape situation and view differences distinctively in each direction. Towards south the view to the sea and islands, towards north the characteristic triangular mountain, towards east the glacier and towards west the river and canyon.THERE ARE THE NEW EDIFICE AND INTERIOR
New Terraced Manhattan Residential Building Spiraling 30 Floors Up
Summing up to a total of 865 units (rental and condos), the Mercedes House in the west of Midtown Manhattan combines commercial and residential spaces in a new, splendidly designed modern structure. Overlooking De Witt Clinton Park and the Hudson River, this terraced mixed-use building is programmed to be up and running this summer. Spreading over 1.3 million square feet, the building designed by Ten Arquitectos also features a public garden, sun deck, and mirrored courtyard. Two hundred parking spaces and a 55,000 square-foot auto showroom on ground floor reminds us of the building’s name. Sloping from New York’s telephone switching tower down to the De Witt Clinton Park, it composes a height transition between the two, challenging New York City to displays itself beautifully from the rooftop gardens at every floor. The building’s impressive size, measuring more than half a city block, allows the structure to look imposing, while the upper part was arranged to resemble a staircase. This allows each inhabitant to benefit from direct sunlight and connect to the cityscape without loosing the pleasure of enjoying the panorama from a terrace. Faceted with a silver perforated rain screen on the street-facing walls and a hybrid curtain wall on the interior, the Mercedes House will help change the cityscape and add a little breathing residential space to the surroundings.Gorgeous Minimalist House With A Light Interior

Outside there is a curved concrete wall, which gives the overall rectilinear design more character. The yard is grey because of concrete wall and grey paver stones on the ground. The inside of the house is light and very modern, lots of white, beige wooden floors, black and dark brown. Light grey kitchen and bathroom are enjoyable and very minimalist. The interior looks very inviting and there is a striking contrast between dark concrete outside and lightness and light colors inside.Amazing Designer’s House In A Crazy Mix Of Styles

The walls and ceiling are white; the furniture is grey and accessories are colorful. Pop art paintings and statues, vintage and rustic furniture – it all looks harmonious and stylish. The kitchen is amazing: rustic chairs, squared wallpapers and the tiles! Each tile is different, with a different pattern, together they look cool!

Extraordinary Crescent House by Shigeru Ban Architects
This site is located on the slope in the north side of villa area in South Hakone. The scenery of the north side is rare because of its opening to look over Mt.Fuji without being almost distributed by any other houses in the fine day. On the other hand, looking at a variety of houses whose shapes and colors are unique in other sides of the site. Designers instantly pulled back to Japanese reality by a sense of relief blessed with nature. Standing in the site, in order not to allow people to look at east, west and south sides, the idea that the crescent-shaped plan which opens up to north corresponding to the site and the cross section which looks like the “C” character( the “U” character which falls down) naturally comes up to mind right away.30 Landscape Design Ideas Shaping Up Your Summer Dream Home
