Cars Parked Inside Homes: Pretty Or Pretty Weird?

Okay, here is something quirky - cars parked inside homes. And no, we don’t mean the garage. To some it may seem ridiculous or even a bit snobbish.

Colorful Kids Rooms

Do you struggle with introducing color to your kids rooms in a tasteful way? This is often the problem when creating rooms for youngsters, as it can be tempting to throw on a crazy wallpaper or litter the area with oversized posters, or to incorporate a whole host of clashing furniture pieces in an attempt to make the space a fun place to hang out; the result can be a confusing headache that doesn’t really please anyone....

Design Of Helix Hotel, Abu Dhabi

An invitation-only competetion was recently held where many eminent architects pitched in their concepts for the Helix Hotel in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Bay. Leeser Architects won the competetion and here is their winning design. A peculiarity of this concept hotel design is that doesn’t have floors like we’re used to - instead it spirals in sections of a corkscrew from top to bottom with no clear breaks, flowing from retail to residential, and hotel suites to saunas....

Edgeland House Returns To The Earth

If Zaha Hadid’s ‘Capital Hill,’ created for Naomi Campbell and commissioned by Russian billionaire, Vladislav Doronin, is the Mothership then Bercy Chen Studio’s ‘Edgeland House,’ overlooking the Colorado River is, at the very least, a Puddle Jumper. Though the size of the Edgeland House project is meager compared to Hadid’s monster (or monstrosity as opinion dictates), they share an investment, not only in futuristic aesthetics, but eco-centric design. Edgeland’s commitment to both its immediate environment and the planet is founded in ancient architectural ideology....

Interiors That Use Plants As Part Of The Palette

We all love to have a little house plant dotted here and there, to breathe a bit of life into the home and connect us with nature even when we’re spending time tucked away indoors. However, our little foliaged friends are often an afterthought when it comes to planning out our decor. The designers of these three homes approached things a little differently. Instead of chucking random indoor plants into leftover spaces, the inclusion of plants was considered from the get go, as part of the considered decoration....

Klein Bottle House, Australia

It is easier than ever to ’think outside the box’ for architects these days. With the use of technology (CAD), it is now easier to efficiently describe more complex shapes and spaces and communicate these to the build. In mathematics, the Klein bottle is a certain non-orientable surface, i.e., a surface (a two-dimensional manifold) with no distinct “inner” and “outer” sides. Klein Bottle House in Mornington Peninsula, Australia, designed by McBride Charles Ryan (MCR) applies the logic of the Klein Bottle, by being a shape which folds into itself to become one continuous volume....

Living And Sleeping Areas Exist In Harmony In These Comfortable Studio Spaces

When it comes to our concept of what constitutes a home - its living room, its bedrooms, its dining areas - it really depends on how we grow up. The suburban child may grow up with her own bedroom, canopy bed , and private en suite bath while a child in the city is used to sharing a bedroom with her sister and a bathroom with her parents. But still, most of us find the maximum comfort level with walls that separate the distinct areas of the home, particularly the bedroom....
