The project is at price of 400 000, I guess euro. In designing its architects had to comply with the plan and style of the neighborhood, but as they say, and as seen by one of the third picture, literally able to break the stereotype of the others ‘vertical’ houses. Sits on the ground is free. The yard is not fenced and is a rare sight in Bulgaria – green meadow, alley and bushes and the entrance porch. And therein lies a corner table and benches, and much interest rocker. And of course, here is the entire wall French windows. Although he entered the architecture of the neighborhood, the house has its own style with, which features without imposes. When you will see those streets in Bulgaria … No need to houses are 400 000 €, but at least they are good with design features in common with and do not are one pink, one yellow, another green. I think it would fit perfectly here one billiard table in white and red. Overall, the interior is very refined.

Again we are on Swedish land, but this time to stay in a villa. It was called Villa M2. Fully exercised on behalf of its design – minimalist. It was built by Lindvall A & D in Malmo. The construction was completed in 2008. The design is very minimalist, clean, tight in Swedish, but very happy stylish and beautiful. Plain white walls and straight lines are diversifying from the broken structure and large windows. The front facade overlooks the lake, which has previously been a career. Swedes have a nice habit to turn the depleted quarries in lakes. Here, according to the architects was a great sight, why the huge windows are placed. This provides a large amount of light. A view from the bedroom on the second floor probably really is incredible. Would be nice to make one or two pictures, because the lake is barely visible in the picture of the canteen. The rear facade is completely devoid of unnecessary elements, as seen at the road. There are only a door and a long, low window looks like a pillbox embrasure. The door itself is large and flat, almost square. Furniture and accessories are specially designed for this house. Few enough for my taste, but may not be reached for more money as they are so special.

It is far from the form of “box” that is considered as a classic, and the shape of the globe. Perhaps this idea will be evaluated mostly from a cosmopolitan part of society. R128 model is made of glass and steel materials and the aim is to be more environmentally friendly and can be processed. The ease with which it is produced and builds, is clearly demonstrated to Stuttgart, where a similar house was built for 11 weeks. Inside the building has no doors and walls. Control over the whole equipment is dependent on voice commands and movement sensors. Постройката е енергийно ефективна и разполага със свои слънчеви панели, които регулират температурата вътре.
