Greenery - Colour of the Year 2017

Pantone has announced Greenery as its Colour of the Year for 2017

Bringing the Outside in!

Greenery will breathe new life into interiors next year, symbolic of a fresh start, growth and vitality. Whether it's a wall colour, an upcycled accent piece or Doors and Windows, experts have chosen it as the perfect hue for making interiors 'pop' with colour and personality.

Listed in Pantone's spring fashion colour report, and part of a vibrant, modern colour palette, Greenery is described as "a tangy yellow-green that speaks to our need to explore, experiment and reinvent. Illustrative of flourishing foliage, the fertile attributes of Greenery signals one to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate."

There's an emerging trend to recycle and upcycle, and while we're embracing eco methods, green spaces and vertical living walls, we're bringing the outside in and we're making nature a centrepiece of our home.

"This exciting colour will allow you to be confident with your paint projects in 2017 and inject vibrancy into your home, whilst its close link to nature will help you feel refreshed and recharged."

A Window Overlooking the Lake

Villa T, Lake Como, Italy
A Window Overlooking the Lake

Is it possible to provide a different interpretation and a whole new meaning to a residence by simply redesigning the interior? This was the challenge taken up by Arkham Project when it was assigned the refurbishment project of a seventies-style villa looking onto Lake Como. In an attempt to unite, why not try to divide: four strips of different colours and materials intersect all of the rooms on each floor of the house.

Colour changes involve all elements without exception, from floor to ceiling, even comprising the swimming pool where it becomes an element of separation between the entrance and the counter-current pool. The lighting system, consisting of a combination of recessed linear elements for ambient and accent lighting underpins the linearity of the spatial layout.

A consistent use of materials, precise details, sharp cornered joints and intersecting lines perform the necessary function of redefining an identity and a new spatial layout.

A window overlooking the lake gives endless light and a fantastic panoramic view.

Give New Life in a Contemporary Context

Vader House by Andrew Maynard Architects
Melbourne, Australia

This geometric, open-air home is an extension on a Victorian terrace, resting privately around an enclosed patio just steps away from the busy city streets.

The restored house maintains the old brick perimeter, providing an old city charm to this decidedly modern construction.  The upper level under the angular ceiling provides a quiet space for personal relaxation, while the lower level kitchen and living room opens into the patio and spa just steps away.

While not much space was needed for the architect to complete this work, he has succeeded in giving an old building new life in a contemporary context.

Elements of History Integrated in Modernity

A renovation that brings a whole new light into a house
Auckland, New Zealand

Why make new when you can improve what’s already there? That’s very often the question that comes to mind.

If new projects can let the imagination run wild, the element of history that lies in old stones can be missed by some people. And keeping this element of history doesn’t mean that you can’t have a very modern home.

Proof is in the Winsomere Crescent House renovation by Dorrington Architects & Associates. Here the contemporary elements incorporate the already existing house and maximize the stunning view over the sea.

This way, some beautiful vintage finishes, like the original Art Deco bathroom, are still part of the house, while a new zinc-clad extension contains the new living space and a large window with a a fantastic view.

Its singular shape brings a second youth to the original house as well as a perfect balance. The result is outstanding!

A Mix of Rural and Urban Lifestyle

Making New out of a Portuguese Ruin

JA House by Filipe Pina and Maria Inês Costa
Guarda, Portugal

Lately, it seems traditional Mediterranean architecture is getting a bit of a face lift and therefore making new from old is becoming more than a simple trend. The JA House by Filipe Pina and Maria Inês Costa is just more proof of that. The Portuguese home mixes rural and urban lifestyles very efficiently.

This project was built on existing stone ruins. Yet, the whole house has been reshaped. The former house has been modernized and completed with a new concrete volume. This one has straighter lines and contrasts strongly with the granite shape of the old house. Both volumes are linked by a metal and transparent structure containing the stairways. The new reorganization occupies the full length of the land. Inside, another old concept has been modernized and use as a basis.

Both buildings are connected by a central courtyard that provides light due to high quality steel windows and doors in the middle of the house and maximizes space inside.

The courtyard and the stairs are at the core of the house and are key elements for the spatial relationship between the different parts of the house. They create a continuity between the two volumes, indispensable in the case of such a project.

Indeed, to create new from old efficiently very often comes down to creating a coherent link between the two styles, the two eras. In this case, it is a success!

Window Seat Ideas

A Slightly Different Window

Houses often look great when they have built-in elements that are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.

When designing a home, a large window could be designed to also be a window seat, perfect for looking out into the nature.

From inside the home, the wood window frame becomes a focus point as most of the interior is white. The contrast between the wood and the white really makes it modern and perfectly frames the view, while also providing a great spot for sitting and relaxing.

The dark grey aluminium window with the Georgian bars becomes a perfect contrast to the white wooden bench.

Perfect Adaptation to a Dramatic Landscape

Beautiful Hillside Home Overlooks Portugal’s Serra da Estrela
designed for a couple who wanted a retreat away from their hectic city life.

Camarim Arquitectos have designed a magnificent hillside home overlooking Portugal’s Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in the country.

Gateira is a small village placed on a beautiful hill planted with vineyards, pines and olive trees with splendid views over the southern tip of Serra da Estrela. The Z-shaped property is featuring multiple spaces, each on a different level, in order to adapt to the sloping terrain and dramatic landscape.

The design team sought to interfere with the particular landscape as little as possible.

Beyond the romantic notion of a well-grounded house, extensive contact with the ground gives enormous energy benefits: they used the earth’s endless thermal mass to balance air thermal amplitudes throughout the day and seasons.

The house’s core is split into two levels, as you enter the home at the upper story. Located between the living room and the master bedroom is a patio that extends out towards the swimming pool, as it also in turn generates ascending air flow across the house during the warm weather months and provides intensive insulation for fall and winter.

And while every space rests on its own level, each area also has direct access to the outdoors, evoking an enhanced sense of space, freedom and cohesiveness with nature.

Grândola House

Completed in 2014 in Grândola, Portugal by ColectivArquitectura

The choice of location for deployment of the buildings aimed to make the most of the view of the terrain.

The openings, searching outside framings, act as plans of light of careful proportions that simultaneously capture and filter the surroundings.

Across the East housing front, with a direct and privileged relationship with the outside, are located a patio with access through the kitchen and living room, and the pool, surrounded by a paved area with different areas, both in terms of function and material and its permeability.

Frameless Windows and Doors

A Villa Designed for a Large Family

Designed for a family of five, Villa J by Johan Sundberg Architecture is a generously sized residence located in southern Sweden.

An atrium, secluded by walls and a pool house, unites the interior and exterior spaces. On the ground floor are the master bedroom and several ample social spaces, as well as a winter garden, kitchen, sauna, etc. The upper floor is the children’s realm, comprising a living room, bedrooms and a sizable family bath.

The floor plan is an attempt to merge different room types without the bulk of unnecessary walls and doors, with spaces opening onto each other in clear sequence and often with subtle shifts. Villa J can provide room for socialising or seclusion – even simultaneously. The main axes of the plot, the house and the garden work in symphony to create multiple unorthodox angles. The composition draws on an aesthetic somewhere between collage and a more austere expression.

The load-bearing structure is constructed of wood and steel with a concrete intermediary floor slab. The façades are clad with brick, light grey render, stained pine and black aluminium.

The windows and doors are frameless. Looking for INDIVIDUALITY and TECHNICAL PERFECTION?

Modern Luxury with Charming Character

16th Century Farmhouse in Southern France Will Get a Contemporary Update


The architects at Brengues Le Pavec have set out to modernize this 16th century farmhouse in l’Escarène, 20 minutes away from the beautiful French Riviera towns of Nice and Monaco.  Although the beaches are easily within reach, the home sits on a serene hillside with a terraced olive grove overlooking the valley below.

A contemporary addition on the side of the home will project modern luxury without overshadowing the charming character.

The planned rectangular structure complements the forms used in the original building.  The architects also will use a light, transparent transition to blend the old and new spaces of the home.  Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a modern stairwell with glazed bodyguards provide the perfect intersection.

A Sense of Lightness - Large Glass Windows and Doors

Westcliff Pavilion, South Africa

“What is a wall?” you might be asking yourself the first time you see GASS Architects’ Westcliff Pavilion. Its structure of steel beams and locally sourced stone do the impossible: they float. What GASS calls ‘creative engineering’ has lent this residential project a sense of lightness, which allows the home to peacefully co-exist with the environment.

Aside from the building’s minimally invasive construction, the steel frames facilitate the placement of large glass windows and doors that reinforce the home’s connection with the great outdoors.

A Full Time Home that Feels Like a Vacation

Many people dream of a beachside home where they can retire and spend their golden years basking in the summer sun and ocean air.

But for the lucky few, it is possible to make these dreams come true a bit earlier, as is the case for this
Australian home from the architects at Rolf Ockert Design.

Overlooking the ocean, this house was designed to feel like a vacation home despite its status as a primary residence. From the angular exterior to the sleek furnishings and luxurious backyard, it is a dreamy space that feels like endless summer.

From any angle, the exterior with its stacked levels and warm wood is modern without any of the minimalist foreboding that can imply.

The ocean views are not only aesthetically stunning, but provide cool breezes that filter into the open design and keep the space cool even during hot months.

Glazing from the floor to the ceiling is already a reality! www.mestreraposa.com

Abundant Views, Impressive Surroundings with Luxury Windows and Doors Systems

Casa Cala Ambolo Presents Views of the Mediterranean Coastline

The home uses its setting to present plentiful views towards the adjacent sea, projecting out in a variety of directions. In order to emphasize the scheme’s location, the house is formed of strategically fragmented elements, which direct and channel carefully selected sightlines. The residence, which rests on a stone plinth, is accessed at its basement via a staircase that leads to the upper levels.

An open terrace connects to a garden area at the rear of the plot, filled with typical mediterranean vegetation, including pine, citrus and olive trees. meanwhile, at the terrace’s opposing edge, an infinity pool presents sweeping sea views.

Internally, the scheme is treated as a singular and continuous space offering abundant views of the home’s impressive surroundings with large windows and doors systems. The ground floor contains a double height living room alongside other days areas. Sleeping quarters are situated above, joined by a continuous balcony that overlooks the swimming pool.

The home’s interior was also designed by Ramón Esteve Estudio, with all fixed furniture planned specifically for the project.

Glazed Walls: Transparent Elements that Create Open Spaces

L-shaped Villa on Northern Italian Coast

Briefed with creating a house for a young family, the architects opted for materials that would be easy to maintain and clean.

A glazed wall on one side of the of the house allows access to a swimming pool and garden area. A second rectangular block runs parallel to the courtyard and houses the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Tiles from a Dutch manufacturer were used throughout the exterior and interior of the property.
Wood was eliminated from the start as the clients felt it created maintenance and humidity issues.
This limitation became a great advantage in the end as they chose to use Mosa's ceramic tile collection, named Quartz.

The house has an L-shaped plan, however, it can be read as a rectangular block as one side utilises a large canopy with glazing beyond, giving the impression of transience to help create this openness the architects wanted to achieve.

All these materials, colours, lighting and landscape are to create continuity and depth across the whole project.

Windows and Doors that Open Spaces

Rio Bonito House by Carla Juacaba

This 2005 project by Carla Juacaba is a weekend home located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It is a crudely elegant structure built to withstand the demands of its tropical environment while providing the owners with views of the nearby river. The proximity of the river has become a determining factor for the party adopted.

Two thick stone walls, supporting four metal beams which support the slabs and floor covering. The weight of the structure contrasts with the lightness of the span, highlighted by two skylights that separate the slab above the structural walls.

On the back wall windows are floor to ceiling tears that give continuity to the horizontal of vertical skylights.

The house down to the floor is protected from moisture and weather, and at the same time allows the view of the river passing by.

Cube-Shaped House Takes In Dramatic Sea Views

It is defined by minimalist architecture and a dramatic location on top of a cliff, 215 feet above the sea. The project in the coastal village of Matanzas, Chile by PANORAMA + WMR Architects was especially envisioned as a holiday retreat for a couple and their son.

The 1,033-square-feet house has a cube-shaped exterior, with large window piercings that frame the views. As you step inside, you will discover an intricate layout, divided in two floors. The first level accommodates a single space for the living room, dining room and kitchen; in the back, there is room for a sleeping area and the second-floor staircase.

The terrace on the first level is cut into one corner to form an L-shaped living area, while the second floor is set on a 45-degree angle, which creates double-height ceilings in the social area.

Even during extreme wind, the inhabitants can spend time on the terrace, thanks to its special design and orientation. All interiors are finished in natural pine and white plaster, for a spacious, inviting feeling.

Simplicity and Respect for Nature

Casa Varanda by Carla Juaçaba, architect

Simplicity and respect for nature characterise the Veranda House (Casa Varanda) project, by the architect Carla Juaçaba, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A rectangular, transparent house, with glass walls and a weathering  steel structure, suspended 90 centimetres from the ground, cuts through the middle of land on which grow hundred year old trees and which ends in a forest.

According to the architect, the longitudinal installation of the structure in the middle of the land, occupying the only clearing that existed, is the principal concept of the project. And the skylight which cuts the roof of the house in the same direction as the house cuts through the land reinforces this idea.

The glass walls allow your gaze to cross the house, giving the impression of proximity to the surrounding vegetation, totally preserved by the building and guaranteeing privacy of the residence. It is the skylight which pays its tribute to nature, leaving the sun to mark the passage of time every day on the walls.

Striking Historical Building Renovation In Portugal

The Three Cusps Chalet Architecture

The Three Cusps Chalet charmingly renovated by Tiago do Vale Architects is a clear example of the Brazilian influence over Portuguese architecture during the 19th century. Sitting at the heart of both the Roman and medieval walls of Braga, a stone’s throw away from Braga’s Cathedral (one of the most historically significant of the Iberian Peninsula) this is a particularly sunny building with two fronts, one facing the street at West and another one, facing a delightful, qualified block interior plaza at East, enjoying natural light all day long.
The design team took as their mission the recovery of the building’s identity, which had been lost in 120 years of small unqualified interventions. The intention was to clarify the building’s spaces and functions while simultaneously making it fit for today’s way of living.

Fitting with the strategy of maximizing light and the explicitness of the spaces, the material and finish choices used in this project were intentionally limited. White color was used for the walls, ceilings and carpentry due to its spacial qualities and lightness. Wood in its natural color is used for the hardwood floors and clothing room due to its warmth and comfort.

Awesome Family House That Brings Outdoors Inside

Expanding an existing home to meet the growing needs of a young family, this Awesome Family House That Brings Outdoors Inside turns to the tried and tested method of blurring the lines between the interior and the inviting backyard.

This is a home design trend that is on the up and up, with most homeowners wanting an extension that acts as a transition zone between the existing main structure and the open courtyard or patio.

The extensive use of glass doors for the new addition means that the parents can always keep an eye on the kids from almost every room in the house and even when they are out on the deck. Functionality and comfort are the two key aspects that defined the transformation, with form taking a backseat at times.

The wooden deck outside visually becomes a part of the living room and kitchen and adds textural contrast along with a stone fireplace that sits next to the glossy, all-white contemporary kitchen. A household that is pragmatic and cozy to its core!

Architecture Project Portugal

Architecture Projects
A Modern Portuguese House from 1923

A quick look at the House in Estoril, Portugal, might have you thinking that Ricardo Moreno Arquitectos did a wonderful job designing a modern yet welcoming family house. However, that would be overlooking the fact the house actually dates back to 1923.

Unlike a conventional renovation in which the point is to highlight the features of the existing house and add hints of modernity (creating a good mix if you will), Portuguese architect Ricardo Moreno completely integrated the traditional shape of the house in his vision. The existing walls have been used as a bridge to modernity.

From outside, the house remains more or less the same. The outdoor walls have been preserved and refreshed with traditional techniques and materials. But, once inside, everything is new and arranged in a different way. A wooden volume redefines the house’s organization. Stairs are carved into the volume, leading to the private areas located in white suspended portions.

The result is a success. A wonderful patchwork of texture, materials and forms assuming the history of the house while writing a new page in it.

Old and New in a Vertical Stone House

Renovation Project of an Ancient Stone House in one of Israel's Most Mystical Cities

The ancient city of Safed is steeped in tradition. Therefore, when architecture and design firm HENKIN SHAVIT undertook the renovation of a home in the city’s tightly packed old quarter, the project inevitably became a conversation between old and new, between renaissance and preservation.

To begin the renovation, the very bones of the site were revealed: stone walls, arches, vaults, stone niches and even a water well. Next, a modern layout was created and materials were selected to enhance the original structure: expansive planes of glass accentuate the ample vertical volume of the ancient limestone structure and create partitions without visibly cutting the space. An original stairway was also preserved and complemented with a wood and steel bridge to connect two parts of the home. 

Long skylights make up for a lack of windows, bringing light into the center of the structure.

Deep Summer

The Overarching Forecast for Spring/Summer 2016 is TRANS

The concept of 'trans' defines a brave new era of perpetual movement and transformation. Here, opposites merge into composites and design becomes a means of blending and merging in innovative and surprising ways.

TRANS is then broken down into four macro trends - Soft Pop, Deep Summer, Eco Active and Past Modern.


Deep Summer

The strange beauty of the deep sea reminds us of the wonders of the universe and the fantastical possibilities of going beyond its limits. Science takes on a cinematic quality in this preserved world where an unscripted drama is played out by weird creatures, bio-mimicry and morphing substances. Rare and contrasting materials take on an otherworldly importance, often in suspended and floating states. The atmosphere is ephemeral, refined and darkly compelling.

Fazit:
The colours and shadows of the deep blue sea are portrayed with a fluid installation of textile design and construction, creating a visual portrait of oceanic currents. Ombres blur and fade into each other representing the horizon meeting the sea.

Sunflower House from Mediterranean Cliffside
cadaval & sola-morales, Barcelona,

Embedded into the cliff side, and a stone’s thrown from the mediterranean sea, the ‘sunflower house’ can be found designed by barcelona-based firm cadaval & sola-morales. Positioned between cabo de creus and the urban settlement of el port de la selva, the cubic form in many ways become intrinsically connected to its coastal landscape. due to its context, the house is prone to strong winds so thick glass has been put in place. Referencing mediterranean architecture as well as the addition of contemporary touches, the exterior uses a white stucco and black window frames. meanwhile, it earned its name because it has been structurally designed to direct as much national light and heat inside- a solar collector. The composition and orientation of the volumes takes advantage of the intense and long hours of daylight in the summer, and simultaneously provides shade to the external patios.

The internal arrangement has been developed to connect the residents with the abundant greenery, the sea, and the views. Shaped by the geometry, the interiors capture dramatic views of the never-ending ocean- all of which is framed in a perfect square. Comprised of two levels, the private quarters have been placed at the top and the living spaces at the bottom where airy central space with a contemporary staircase merges the two floors together.
