The Architect Nicolas Vignot transformed part of an old mill by using modules of metal and glass in the comfortable flatlet. Manifestly failed to preserve the original spirit of the industrial site, which had been steam room. Its area is 48m2, with the doors and moving parts can be used whole as a photo studio. Or when they are closed to flatlet has a large living room and secluded spaces, however, maintaining access to light.
The bedroom also has industrial elements such as pipes above and below. But overall I think it is quite romantic with red blankets and the red wall. Wardrobe is hanging from lacquered MDF, with doors opening pressure. Attractive bedroom furniture is designed from IKEA, with a mighty lamps are Artemide. Panels which separate bedroom from the living room, actually are polycarbonate, in opaque glass.
Dining area is located in the largest part of the dwelling. The dining room furniture is beautiful. It is located table with plywood. Bottles / vases on it are Cornar Shop. Stools are like those in schools which is why I truly hate them … were bought by Manutan. The dining room is separated from the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with a clever system of glass panels.
The Living area is in the same room as a large dining room. Separated from the bathroom with a wall where a fireplace was built, resembling quite the screen. But I think that a huge TV above it would not disrupt the harmony. Library has the same mass as Plywood and still is a work of Vignot. Le Corbusier furniture by Cassina. Industrial spirit is quite palpable in the kitchen. Kitchen is rough concrete, and doors of lockers underneath are half-covered zinc. Ceiling hanging pipes, which means a lot of industrial. They sink and stainless steel by Franke. Shelves are glass, but domestic production. In conclusion, it is quite nice as the old beams, floors and woodwork. And in combination with the color of the walls gets cool.

Matthew Blesso entrepreneur buys this penthouse apartment (288 square meters) in Manhattan in 2006. about $ 4 million. But then does a standard repair, but provide it in the hands of two professors from Yale – the architect Joel Sanders and the landscape designer Diana Balmori. They teach discipline to the integration of architecture and landscape design called Interface. Their task is to introduce ideas and create a roof garden, which, however, is rife in the interior, combining vigorous vegetation and drip irrigation with custom furniture and flooring. Carry it with several designers and … $ 1 million. The project goes through ups and downs a lot. For example the owner wished the garden at the base of the stairs to a patio, surrounded by glass and an open top. But it would require the installation of drainage system for rainwater. The pipes would have occupied too much space and detract from the height of the premises, which has already been reduced because of the climate system. It is therefore refused, however, an alternative solution is not bad at all. Built over the stairs, starting from the garden dratsena / dracaena /, shed looks very spectacular and adds an additional level in the roof garden. It planted vegetation types, including 2 types of mint, which Blesso used for cocktails, which makes its guests. The roof is open to the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. On the second level is situated on a corner for relaxation with comfortable furniture and a bar. The right of the door, right next to the stairs to the second level is not what it is, a shower! Yes, the man was swimming out into the sky and there is no wall or cubicle. Interesting things that do not end penthouse apartment with roof garden, and start with it. Actually it is covering, because the cover and interior parts and is an integral part of the interior. For example one of the walls in the bathroom is covered with plants located in the panels with drip irrigation, growing around the mirror. I would love to brush my teeth before this mirror. Here, designers have had few problems because the leaves of the plant were originally planted congestion sink. A wooden sink fits perfectly in this picture design. Other sinks are made from panels of synthetic stone and the water flows down from them to drain in the floor. It is covered with cork tiles. Continue with the next impressive thing – the doors and walls. In practice, these almost none. Few walls in the apartments are mostly glass. For example the main bedroom is separated by glass partitions and is visible from other parts of the housing. But the touch of a button can be placed Curtain. This is one of the coolest dishes haytek controlling visibility. Wall between living room and corner for relaxation is also glass and is made up of sliding panels. One part of the decoration makes a strong impression – very big, beautiful graphite starting from the hallway and continued to the living room. Case is a graffiti artist Doze Green and submit a mood, color and originality in the home. Overall, the furniture in this apartment leave me breathless. Chairs, couches, tables in combination with carpet and parquet. Do it for massive bed. Naturally they are all design and significantly contributed to the transformation a million USD price of housing. The edge rest is covered with something like a mattress to completely relax as you go into it before to relax on the couch. The kitchen table is made from stem nut. Part of it served to make and stools. The idea for this apartment is great. Such is the price. Greenery on the roof penetrating inside the house, tree, spacious interior decoration. Did everything I think is perfect. Well, some things are missing in the interior, which would gave more comfort and identity, but overall I like the apartment much.

Luxury Transformer Apartment

This is a Hong Kong apartment architect Gary Cheng. It is looking more like a studio with its 32 square meters, but it can be said that 24-bedroom apartment. This is achieved not by what it is, but with moving walls that hide and show different parts of it. Mr. Cheng is causing for the first time in the apartment, when she was 14 years. Live there rent with your family. At that time the housing is divided into a small room. In 1988 the family moved to another apartment. At that time, Cheng lives elsewhere. His mother offered him to rent a spare bedroom now. But, he decide to buy it directly because it is less than dreaming and sketching how the walls will break and it will transform. For 20 years he renovate and moisture 4 times more than $ 200 000. But in 2008 made the most remarkable renovation of apartments, creating a true home-transformer. The interior of the apartment was resolved in black and silver, as a mysterious note added yellow light coming from windows. Despite the strange way the rooms are designed not to prevent them are extremely luxurious and comfortable. For example the bathroom is located behind the wall built by the police. When she gets away to a room with a huge tub from Duravit, shower room, acting as a steam room and massage color-therapy and heated toilet and bidet remote from Toto. Just wondering if it is an urgent need to visit, but Murphy’s law and despite the high quality wall bicker take that, what makes Mr. Chang? But not to digress. Above the tub is suspended and bed. A cab can be used as a phone if you want to provedesh conversation without someone else’s apartment to hear. The main room in the apartment or living room as I would call it looks yellow because the color of the windows. On the left wall is located its collection of thousands of discs, and the right is occupied by office and the police. As can be seen there is enough room for stretching of the hammock, which it Cheng listen to music or to honor. Beyond the wall are phone-technique laundry and dryer, but to them is a wall hanging television. Behind that, however, has one more surprise. Taking away it reveals the kitchen. On the wall opposite the bed is located. Cheng is a little like sleeping on a couch to expand. This prompted him to create its present bed. It opens vertically and retracted sofa. Other facilities, which are formed like the dining room, wet bar, library and what not. This yields a flat 24 in 1. It could provide a good, cozy and family life, especially in densely populated areas such as Hong Kong. But more than two seem to me very much. To me looks like a flat-transformer of fiction or directly as a prototype for the future. I imagine huge cities with skyscrapers, beginning hundreds of meters below the ground and hide in the clouds. And they divided into thousands of small-apartments tranformers just like that. Well, maybe not as luxurious.

Glass Open House in Gent

Viliyana Filipova — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:14:46 +0000

I noticed this house a long time ago on the site The Style Files, but decided later to find more info and do not publish anything. Now it turns out that it is removed from the site and that nobody else has written anything about it. No information anywhere. Only able to got to the pictures and not in large size. The house is located in the Belgian city of Ghent. Occupies one room of each of the four floors of the building. So I wonder whether it is more properly be called a flat or maisonette. Interesting decision is up to the windows and lights – not on each floor. If you were three would be as light. But I think this is most strange to her. Even more strange is that all is open to the street. Jump for exhibitionist. The walls are windows and no blinds or curtains or anything. Neighbors and passersby can easily see what is going on inside. Even in the bedroom. Most likely, only the bathroom is hidden from prying eyes. Otherwise the interior is refined and comfortable. And if I were neighbors and passers-by would be a pleasure to live in the house. Parquet and only painted white walls are exactly my taste. The ceiling is a little strange so left in the transverse reba, but not bad. Table in the kitchen is wooden and well combined with the stools. In the living room I noticed the yellow lamp and projector ceiling. Bed in the bedroom is quite comfortable and looks great, but what we do with our neighbors? The house is ideal for exhibitionist and if the windows are blacked out – and for everyone else. But apparently the owners as they like.
