Unusual Layout Revealed by Modern Casa 2V in Ecuador

Ecuadorian architectural firm Diez + Muller Arquitectos completed the design for a modern residence in Tumbaco, Ecuador. Casa 2V is located on a rectangular area with a gentle slope, offering views of the the valley of Tumbaco to the west and towards the neighboring hills to the south.

The volumes are connected through original glazed bridges, flooded in natural light during the day. A double-height open plan living room acts as the core of the entire residence and offers extensive views. All the interiors display a highly modern design and a large degree of openness. A generously sized courtyard encircles the building, offering its inhabitants the possibility to relax doors.

Modern Family Home in Australia Displaying Cutting Edge Design and Subtle Luxury

Welcome to a family home where modern design still leaves room for coziness and warmth. Envisioned by Bower Architecture, a practice of young architects from Melbourne, Australia, the Caufield Residence displays a good sense of symmetry, elegance and cutting-edge amenities. Spotted on Desire to Inspire, the project accommodates multiple living zones, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a garage, plus a north-facing courtyard with swimming pool for relaxation.

It is fun to observe the contrast between the sober concrete fence and facade overlooking the street and the opposite side of the house, defined by openness. Wood is an element that can be found throughout, ensuring an elegant exterior and adding warmth in every room. The focal point of the residence is the social area, characterized by light and space. Floor to ceiling sliding doors connect it to a wooden terrace and to the backyard with the swimming pool. Enjoy the virtual tour below and tell us what you think!

Functional Space: Modern Apartment in Odessa Exhaling Brightness

Colours!  We simply love a good idea and a creative blend of colours. It implies courage! To underline the fact that a happy environment can have an amazing effect on our lives, the Ukranian designer, Ino Getiashvili, came up with some cheerful ideas and decorated the interior of an apartment located in Odessa’s old town in a unique way.  In order to create a breezy and fluid atmosphere, an open space area occupies most of the 110 square meters surface, reducing the kitchen, the living room and the dinning to one unitary spot. The house “keeps a good communication” with its  inhabitants through positive messages such as “Smile”, “Love”, Dreams” and “Travel”.

Many say that the attitude is everything. The right ambience can create the right attitude. Imagine yourself coming home here. Would you still give an overwhelming attention to your problems? No. You’d rather let yourself inspired and look for a creative way to solve them! Gorgeous and stylish, the Odessa apartment is bright and functional. Creativity played an important role in defining it: from the warm colorful  illumination system, to the textures and the vibrant mix of colours. Ideal for a young couple, this super-modern home in Odessa gives a strong feeling of belonging. Do you find it appealing?

We ran across a lovely collection of eclectic interiors spiced up with vintage elements by designer Timothy Oulton and thought of sharing them further.Boasting sophistication and creativity, each of the 20 interiors below was developed according to a certain theme. As the designer explains, some of them were inspired by the "Beat" culture of 1950s America, where writers and creative-types championed non-conformity.

As you will look through the photos, you will also discover “a nostalgic tribute to the romantic era of luxurious sea voyages“, in various decorative objects. such as vintage trunks, classic upholstery pieces, and travel memorabilia. The interior below is dedicated to old English sports such as tennis, rugby and sailing and is said to exude “the class and refinement that once defined the world of sports”. We are charmed by the array of great details in this remarkable design portfolio and are looking forward to see which elements caught your attention.
