By looking at this modern family residence in Fitzroy, Australia, you would never imagine that it once was a horse stables back in the 1830s. The renovation by Andrew Simpson Architects is quite astonishing: they led the project of converting the historic building into a high tech and environmentally sustainable home to meet their clients’ needs.
Family House by Ricardo Bofill
There are houses that impress through size and greatness, others through shape and beauty and others through simplicity and elegance or modernity and charm. This summer house, located in Girona, the northeast of Catalonia, Spain is impressive through its greatness, shape and design at the same time.
Villa Arrighi
Who did not feel the need to escape the everyday, forget all the worries and spend some time in a dream place, far away, for few days at least? If it has happened to you and you want to arrive in a new location, here is the perfect solution: Villa Arrighi
Snow Villa
Welcome to Under the Moonlight designed by Giovanni D’Ambrosio. It’s a contemporary (and expensive) take on the traditional cattlemen’s huts of the area.
Moonee Ponds heritage
A stunning transformation by renowned Vivid Edge design, this incredible residence mixes the best of old and new to create a dramatic and truly unique environment of form and function.
Somosa House
Another fantastic house by A-cero, great Spanish architects – 18,300 square-foot of awesomeness! From the first moment the house clearly shows its intentions, and bold, stylized forms, thanks to a subtle handling of curves that match harmoniously with their natural context without sacrificing a distinctly modern look. Horizontal lines dominate volumes, which are superimposed in layers, from a partially visible basement, forming layers that appear to emerge naturally from the ground.
O House
Architects Philippe Stuebi and Eberhard Tröger designed the O House in Vierwaldstättersee, Switzerland. On both, the front and the lake side, this sculptural villa shows very expressive and ornamental facades. Facing mount pilatus the white concrete elements are dotted with circular openings that allow glimpses into the two-levelled orangery with its exotic plants, as well as the lounge, the guest tract and the staircase accessed through one of the openings at the ground floor.
Elrod House
John Lautner’s Elrod House is literally one of THE most architecturally significant homes in all the world. This home was commissioned by designer Arthur Elrod in 1968 and has been featured in numerous books, magazines and museum exhibitions. It is the iconic home perched at the very tip of the Southridge enclave, easily viewable throughout Palm Springs. Organic shapes, monumental construction and world class design create an extraordinary experience of space that Lautner himself described as “timeless” architecture.
NY West Village Residence
Billinkoff Architecture had designed this bold, 5-story residence for a NY family. What makes this house especially interesting that it’s the second one the architects designed for the family – they knew their exact preferences and lifestyle, had the opportunity to learn from the first project.
The Floating Kitchen
This light, 6 bedroom family house would just be another gorgeous piece of real estate withouth that kitchen. But having that, it’s something different.
