Open floor plan houses from Ras-a

During the more extreme seasons of summer and winter, a geothermal system provides the additional heating and cooling. Using the earth’s underground temperature, the system can condition the house without burning fossil fuels or emitting carbon dioxide. A passive solar design using the buildings orientation, operable clerestory windows, high efficient ceiling fans, and proper material choices, helps condition the house naturally in the spring and fall months.

Contemporary house plan from Murdock Young Architects

The house’s exterior is clad in textured wood panels and consists of a many large windows. The shape of the house and its interior design make it look contemporary and clean. The yard features a large swimming pool so owners could come back from a vacation with a perfect tan. The Cutler Residence is designed by Murdock Young Architects with a minimal impact on the pristine landscape. A year round vacation home features amazing views of surroundings which are very calm and relaxing. It’s perched on a bluff overlooking Block Island Sound so these views mostly features waters of the Atlantic Ocean and woods.

Private island home by Touzet Studio

The property has three buildings, including: the main house, the guest house and the staff quarters. The main building is 16,000 square feet and has two stories with 6 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. It has the direct access to an outdoor heated lap pool and spa, and features truly amazing views of the Bay. There are plenty of other cool interior and exterior design features that you can find on photos. La Gorge Estate was a 1926, Mediterranean-style estate built for Carl Fisher and lately remodeled by Touzet Studio into the modern contemporary home. It’s located on a private island in Miami Beach, Florida, overlooking Biscayne Bay. Such style of architecture isn’t popular in the area but this isn’t the only thing that make the luxury villa special.

Happy Labor Day!

I just had to bop in today to share with you this cool bedroom photographed by Gilles Trillard for Elle Decoration. Guess who it belongs to?? Jonathan Adler, of course! I have to admit, I'd never think to use that color on the walls with turquoise and orange, but it serves as the perfect background for all the bold color. And all the pattern! I am really digging the David Hicks carpet combined with the damask. And the colorful LeRoy Nieman plates are so fab too! Enjoy the holiday everyone!

Luxurious Lakeside Home In Switzerland from O House

Considering where it is located, the shape should come as no suprise. If this Swiss cheese block of a house with a stunning view of Lake Lucerne doesn’t generate a bit of envy from you, your karma is strong! Designed by Philippe Stuebi Architekten & Eberhard Tröger the ‘O house’ has all the signs of a *very* rich man’s abode. We can’t pin point what we like most about this gem – the fancy shapes, the all white interiors, the impossible views or the garage full of exotic cars. It is all there!

Design Tip of the Week - Start a collection

Start a collection of candlesticks as an affordable and elegant decorative accent. Search for similar or eclectic candlesticks of all different heights to group together. For example, find different color glass candlesticks or stick with one color and play with sizes (mix skinny with pillar candle holders). Or go for a more antique look and collect brass or silver ones. Display with or without candles. Showcase your new collection on a mantle, dresser, side table, or a shelf.

Vegitated Furniture: A Green Growing Room Divider

The artist points out that "traditionally, vegetables gardens are thought of as utilitarian, and the potential beauty of vegetable plants ignored in favor of non-edible ornamentals. I use existing negative space opportunities within the home to minimize the footprint of these products." This clever design is more than just a statement about going green, it is a functional and relatively self-sufficient structure that provides natural variety, cleaner air and even an edible product right inside of your home. The planters are self-water, grow lights are included to insure a healthy set of plants and relatively lightweight and sustainable materials are used in the construction of this all-around multifunctional and decorative interior design element.
