Matryoshka House in Maryland, USA

A matryoshka doll is a Russian nesting doll which is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The idea inspired the designers of David Jameson Architect, who created Matryoshka House in Maryland, USA. If you look closely at home, it is not difficult to guess why it got such a name. The house consists of several volumes that are embedded into each other - the wooden part of the house is situated between two concrete walls. And inside this structure there is another sub-cube, which is a meditation room.

White House Design: North Bay Road Residence

The beautiful white villa is located in Florida. This house was designed by the Touzet Studio Architect, and was named North Bay Road Residence. You may notice that the white color is almost the only, as in the facade of the house and its interiors. It gives absolutely stunning effect: villa, surrounded by palm trees, looks like an amazing sea pearl. As in many other homes built in Florida, it has a lot of open areas for recreation in the air, large swimming pool and small quay. The interiors are striking with their whiteness, which seems impractical for real life. But this residence is one more evidence of white interior design beauty.
