Progressive Home Design Timber and Stone Home

admin — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 04:00:15 +0000

The Progressive Architecture magazine announced the first award for progressive house design in July 1954. Since then they have been awarding the prestigious Progressive Architecture Awards every year. Every year new jurors recognize and honor new talent who are willing to take risk and make innovative changes in the vast field of architecture. Contemporary architects pursue innovative ideas and submit their entries for the Progressive Architecture Award.

Anton Žižek and Marjan Poboljšaj are two brave architects who relentlessly pursue progressive design concepts in the field of architecture and interior design. They are based in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. They have designed a number of projects using progressive house design concepts. One of the bold and progressive projects is a retreat house designed for a private client using the wood and stone as main materials. The retreat house or the timber and stone house is created by combining two existing houses side by side.

The first house is a traditional, monolithic introverted house containing bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. It is built from the stone and wood. The house is wood clad and windows have shutters to maintain the privacy. The second house is a boat shaped structure protruding outwards. It looks as if a boat is anchored at the bay. Glass, steel and mainly wood are used to build this open and comparatively modern structure. It contains the living area, dining area and a big hall. It has an entire wall of sliding glass doors that opens to the patio in front of the swimming pool. Combining a modern structure with a traditionally designed house is not an easy task. The combined house looks bold and progressive in its design.

The timber and stone house is surrounded by natural beauty and hills. Swimming pool in front of the house has unusual polygonal shape. It is surrounded by a wooden deck. Interiors of the house are flamboyant and done in progressive style. Ample wood is used in designing living area. Windows are made of wood strips. Natural light filtering in through the strips creates colorful patterns. The timber and stone house is compartmentalized in two different sections. One is for socializing and for recreation purposes. The other section is to relax and recuperate or rejuvenate. A foyer connecting both the houses is covered with glass and wood alternatively. The lighting and interior spaces give an entirely different, somewhat mysterious experience.

Geometric Shaped Creative And Contemporary Home Design

admin — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 03:19:09 +0000

Traditional home designs have four exterior sides. If your property has a beautiful scenic view, a geometric home design with more than four exterior sides, for example pentagons or octagons, can offer a better all encompassing view of the scenery outside. Geometric home design coupled with contemporary interiors gives a dramatic effect to the property surrounded by scenic beauty.

Today I am going to share the images of a luxury house called Casa Zafra, designed by a Spanish architect Eduardo Arroyo. Eduardo Arroyo is a well known architect for his understanding of not only Spanish architecture, but the European architecture as a whole. His architectural design incorporates various elements of pragmatism, rigor, playful geometry, simplicity, and aesthetics. This is a asymmetric geometry oriented polygonal house built on top of a golf course. The geometric house design extensively uses wire mesh and metal architecture. The wire mesh serves as an aesthetic accent as well as a shield against golf balls.

Casa Zafra is a two story contemporary house surrounded by distant landscapes. There are no houses in vicinity except empty surroundings. The house is designed keeping in mind that each and every room gets a unique view of surrounding landscapes. Living room offers mountain view, upper level bedroom has a view of the old city and a river, and exterior terrace and golf course can be seen from the kitchen. The entire exteriors have jagged holes of irregular geometrical shapes. Natural light filters through these holes inside the sleek interiors at different times of the day.

Entire South façade is covered with metal mesh protecting dining room and bedroom from the golf balls and direct sunlight. There are two enclosed terraces upstairs. Both the terraces open to the sky only. One of them has an exclusive collection of cacti and the other terrace has screened openings that maintain the privacy of the residents. Entire interiors of the house have no doors, yet each space is defined and serve their respective purposes.

The residents of the house have contemporary lifestyle. Minimalist interiors of the modern geometric house reflect the lifestyle of the residents. Interiors of the house reflect the state of mind of the residents, relaxed and clutter free. Interior space is defined beautifully by minimum objects. Natural light filtering through the various openings and its different hues give a unique style and aura to the interiors. This modern geometric house is a creatively designed piece of art in wide open surroundings.

Lavish And Luxurious Swedish Dream House On A Lake

interiorarcade — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 10:23:21 +0000

This stylish and exuberantly built dream house is designed by architect John Robert Nilsson near a calm and serene lake in Sweden. The beauty of the construction and the ideas of the open spaces are truly unbelievable. It features truly amazing views of the lake as from terrace as well as from inside of the house. If you look at the details of the constructions you would gasp on realization that actually the designs have simple shapes, clean lines and very warm. Very few materials were used in its construction. Limestone, silvery white ash, matte white painted walls and ceilings characterize the house from the inside. The beauty of the interior design is the use of white and black combination while the exterior is done in brown with black puff, tar paper, steel and lots of dark colors. The contrast of the interior and the exterior is easily noticeable thanks to clean rooms with large glazed walls.

Floating Houses Interior On Lake Union

interiorarcade — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:40:49 +0000

Floating houses has been a long time tradition especially in the region of Lake Union, Seattle. Even though from the exteriors mostly all the house in a particular vicinity look same, from the inside most of them have their own charm. Earlier, modern interior designs were not preferred but now most of these floating houses are used as holiday homes and are designed with modern amenities and good looks. The site or area on which these houses are built is quite small and there are few selected architects who are chosen to build these floating houses. The most attractive and common feature of these houses is a terrace or balcony in every room where one can relax and get a feel of a moving ship. Vandeventer + Carlander Architects are one of the famous architects for floating houses.
