Very odd designed house in Tokyo, Japan

Written by admin on October 2, 2008 – 1:41 am -

This house looks nothing like its neighbors on a hill of Yokohama. It has wild shapes and an (IMO ugly) grey color, large interior space that cannot be used (unless you’re 10 feet tall) but of course looks really modern. The roof which looks as if barnacled lets in light through the glass on the top of the tube-shaped windows that are set avoiding shades and eye gaze of the neighbors… It sure is an architectural achievement but I would definitely hire a better interior designer, because it looks awful right now.

Great Homes and Destinations: Brussels

Written by admin on October 1, 2008 – 8:20 am -

New York Times again found a beautiful piece of art, this time in Brussels, Europe. Justine Glanfield and her husband, photographer Vincent Fournier turned a 1912 town house into a lovely family home. With five floors and 3230 sq feet they have plenty of space to live in but it looks like they manage it pretty well.

Osler House in Brazil by Marcio Kogan

Written by admin on September 29, 2008 – 9:36 am -

Minimalist, contemporary house and garden design by Marcio Kogan. The Osler House consists of three parts: the house itself it separated into two levels, connected with a delicate staircase, and the garden which has a huge pool. The ground floor’s walls can be opened using rotating wooden panels, enabling the rooms to let sunlight in and have a relaxing view to the garden. Unfortunately there are no interior images, but the exterior is beautiful enough in itself.
