Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Sinu River HouseQuite a different look at the family home is one of the last projects of Antonio Sofan Architecture and Interiors Studio, developed in Colombia. The Sinu River House is located in Montero Sinu Valley, known as one of the most fertile areas in the world. Overlooking the eponymous river, which runs literally meters from the garden. It is surrounded by greenery and perhaps this is why its creators have tried to be complete in its contrast. The exterior is painted in white and blue and the interior is a bold combination of vibrant colors, but no trace of kitsch or redundancy. The building occupies a total area of ​​500 square meters in the middle of a vast meadow, around which a number of palms and trees.
In the Front there is a swimming pool and a wooden platform that serves as a personal beach. The rooms overlooking the water are divided among themselves by a wall, so that their residents can bask in the sun without being seen, and meet only in the pool.
The structure itself has several parts, smoothly blending into one another, and part of the walls facing the nearest street, lined with decorative metal grille. Before one of the entrances have another artificial water space, and access is provided through small islands in it. The interior is cool, thanks to the nearby river and the skills of architects managed to catch the whiff of it and keep it inside.

White Beach Residence

White Beach ResidenceThe house on the beach sounds like a dream come true for us, like if a little bit of the White House in Southern California, USA, will feel like part of a true story. That residence has wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean and the horizon line where water and sky become one. The house is divided into two parts – the main and guest interconnected by a glass bridge corridor. Painted entirely in white, and even interior corresponds to this concept.
The huge glass walls and ceiling light constantly skip and in no way interfere with the residents to enjoy the unique view. The courtyard is very closed hand and offers absolute privacy. In addition to its dining outdoors, has a private mini-beach. The living-room has two levels, a chandelier in the middle is really impressive. White is combined with light wood and beige, so the general idea of ​​interior light is not affected much. The room includes a kitchen and dining room, which blend smoothly into one another, but the kitchen is precisely isolated by break, not to invade flavors in the rest of her space.
This pattern is repeated throughout the home and only in certain places furniture and works of art, which he contrasted.
