The Leaf House

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Leaf HouseThe modern architects are often turned to nature for inspiration and looking increasingly strong links with it. Exactly what is at the heart of the project and house-leaf (The Leaf House). This is the extension to a private residence in Sydney, Australia, and was completed in December last year. The concept is the work of the London studio Undercurrent Architects, which is not the first idea, inspired by nature. The roof of the building is in the form of fallen autumn leaves and rests on a metal structure of the beams, which closely resemble tree trunks.
The interior also is decided in eco-style and is limited by transparent glass panels of specially shaped and reinforced material. Some of the rooms are built into the ground with slightly uneven surface. That are underground, does not make them darker or uncomfortable, but provides privacy and tranquility. The whole thing is January natural environment and allows for a variety of sensory experiences. The British design studio and a full house. But its construction will begin later this year, but the location is not yet known.

Black prefabricated house

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Black prefabricated houseBlack is a particular color – often seen as a good choice it prevails in the interior or exterior of our homes, but we are particularly attracted by this idea exactly. The designers from the Spanish studio A-cero has once again proved that the realization of such a concept can become a remarkable achievement. The studio, founded by Joaquin Torres, has specialized in the manufacture of prefabricated home design. The buildings are composed of modules are made in a special order that “create” of the terrain. This allows for very reasonable prices for the end customer, since the modules are produced on the line without affecting the ability to be assembled in any configuration.
Studio A-cero offers furniture that is usually a stylish mix of classic modern furniture and interior design. One of their most notable projects completed this year, a family model that is furnished. The house, erected in Madrid, has 2 bedrooms and common rooms, but this is the smallest version of the project. The inner courtyard has a small outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by a mini-beach. The design is black shiny material that reflects the surrounding environment. The area around the house is covered with a mixture of lawn areas and decorative flooring of small white pebbles.

Inspirating Meera House in Singapore

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Inspirating Meera HouseMeera House was built, designed by Guz Architects and is located on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It is a bold and original project. However, few houses can boast a green area on every level. Here is a brief description of the architects: Land of the island are not large and the buildings are built in close proximity, so our strategy was to build strong walls around to provide the utmost privacy and at the same time enough light in the central part and staircase on which to feel the breeze. The terrace provides not only visual, but real access to vegetation. The aim was any garden as the basis of the above laminated floor and giving effect to appear as two storey house. We managed somehow, despite the limited space and the large size of the house.
This is a wonderful architectural idea and certainly uncompromising maintenance of greenery.
