Beautiful and original Winter Loft by Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados

This extraordinary project of Sustainable Winter Loft was created by Brazilian Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados. The total area is 207 square meters and the house outside and inside was made from recycled wood. This residence is not meant for permanent living it is only a place for rest, the winter loft, where you can have a great time. The open plan includes a lounge, a kitchen, a bar and a video room, combined into a single space. The house to some extent resembles a lounge-bar. Highly efficient, energy saving and modern LED lighting system used for the building. The outdoor area features a huge terrace with the endless pool, framed by the fireplace. On the roof you can see lots of plants that hang down, stretching along the terrace and then to the bar.

The designers from CEBRA Architects presented this exciting project of Sinus House. It combines two conflicting desires - to enjoy the view through the windows and protect privacy. This is promoted by a mysterious geometry of the house and contemporary black and white design. Combined with each other a kitchen, a living room and a dining room have open plan. Master bedroom with private bathroom represents a separate unit. Opposite it there are two more rooms, between which a niche was formed. It can be used as a playground or chill-out corner for adults.

The unique concept Treehotel to experience nature among the tree-tops

The concept of Treehotel is a truly unique experience, where nature, ecological values, comfort and modern design are combined for an exciting adventure. It is located in Harads, Sweden, near the Lule river, in the heart of the unspoiled nature, where you can enjoy the serenity, leaving the stress and problems of modern life. At the moment the hotel offers five extraordinary rooms, and all of them are absolutely unique in their interiors, decorating, furniture, lighting. Their sizes also differ and range between 15-30 square meters, the largest room can accommodate up to 4 people. As for me, the most exiting design is Mirrorcube, whose walls are invisible for people’s eyes. From Treehotel’s rooms you get a fantastic view of the valley, miles of forest and the powerful river.

Modern Luxury Residence by Simone Micheli Florence in Italy

This modern bright residence was designed by Italian architect Simone Micheli for himself and his family in Florence, Italy. The concept features the principle of modern luxury that symbolizes freedom and movement. According to the architect, the interior does not have to shout about wealth, but only to share your story and reflect your inner world. The residence is made using up to 90% environmentally friendly materials. A dynamic, fresh and very bright, it is perfect for city life. Moreover, the perception of interior changes, knowing that the house was built in 1800 and the original bare walls were retained and only painted in white to become part of modern history. But many juicy accents so magnificently play up the transition from antiquity and tradition to a new and dynamic lifestyle.

Luxury and Green standards in 173 Park Street Residence

173 Park Street Residence is a modern townhouse, "dressed" in a timber of cedar. The project was designed by Joeb Moore + Partners from Greenwich. Three-story residence with an area of ??490 sq.m. is located in New Canaan, Connecticut, USA.

Among other pleasant elements we can notice three fireplaces, lift, whirlpool, and a garden with terraces and a fountain. "Green" technologies as solar panels and water heaters, as well as its cleaning systems demonstrate high efficiency, so the project was awarded a silver LEED certificate. The mansion was put up for sale in 2009 for $ 4.95 million, but it still has not found a happy owner and now you can get it for $ 3.95 million.
