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 is the right word for this house in Leiria, Portugal. A2+
Arquitectos created this amazing Casa Xieira, modern, cool and with
beautiful geometry of lines. 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.
This amazing house in a crazy mix of styles belongs to a designer. At
first sight you may think that the owner loves all the styles and
couldn’t choose one but the interior is in total harmony. 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! Black fridge and blue
furniture – an amazing colorful scheme!
