Contemporary Azure Office in Kiev

Office design is an important decision for each company. This is a place where employees work, so it should be functional first of all. But a company receives its clients here, so the hospitality and comfort are also important. Therefore, office interior design is an integral part of corporate style. Present you the Asure office of the company in Ukraine, which produces design accessories. The designers Sergey Makhno and Vasiliy Butenko divided the space into zones: meeting and presentation area, terrace, restrooms and storage. The walls decoration combine wood and Corian. There are lots of geometric shapes and lines in the design of walls and furniture. I especially love combination of blue tints. To my mind, this office is convenient for work and communication with customers.

An Ideal Room for Ideal Children

Not only we but our children too need a special space to become their penetralia and sometimes refuge.

It should provide them with a wide range of facilities to develop their skills and enjoy their hobbies from different toys to some interactive games. But very often the organization of the playroom becomes a real problem for their parents. There are some recommendations following which you will design a space of your children’s dream. First of all get rid of broken toys and needless things. This will provide you with free area for your ideas. Divide the room into several parts for different types of games depending on its size. It’s desirable to assign at least two areas for playing: an area where your kids can have fun and spread out toys. There should be a carpet on the floor and all the toys should be in a closet where there is easy access. The second area is some quiet place with a small table and the bookshelves. It should be possible for kids to play some intellectual games there, to draw or to craft.

They say playroom is a place of disorder. But it’s not quite the truth if this room is well organized. This place gives the kids the possibility to grow with a fun, it gives the wings to their fantasy. Make your children happier in their little world of enjoyment, and you’ll see you’ll become happier too!

Bryan Bowen Architects’ Net-Zero Energy House in Frazer, Colorado

This is probably one of the most featured and green houses we reviewed yet. We used to think of a contemporary house as of the one with unusual architecture and crazy amount of swimming pools. Well this house is about the latest technology serving to create a warm and inspiring home for a single family. Active and passive eco technologies include the thickly insulated multi-layer envelope, high efficiency fiberglass windows, LED lighting, Hunter Douglas automatic windows coverings and the Eco Dashboard real-time monitoring system. Apart from the regular living areas the house has a home gym, huge swimming pool and a two-car garage; moreover the house is already equipped by two electric vehicles. A bunch of solar panels on the roof produce 17kW of energy, which is enough to power up both the house and the electro mobiles.

The Serous Bar Stool by Michael Stolworthy

This Liquid Like Bar Stool was created by American artist and designer Michael Stolworthy by the original production method – sand casting. The stool has unique curvy geometry without any seams and to make it look even more like a fluid substance it’s polished to glossiness. There are four versions of the stool: chrome, gloss black, wood finish and red anodized aluminum. Contemporary eye-catching look and shiny finish would complement well to many modern bar interiors. For example I believe that the serous bar stool would look great in the La Nova night club inspired by ice caverns that we have recently reviewed.
