The Shell House in the Forest by ARTechnic Architects

Over the last years Japanese architecture becomes more and more inspiring and gives the world the increasing amount of unique ultramodern design ideas. This outstanding house is another example of extraordinary Japanese architecture. It was created by ARTechnic architects and is located in the forest near Kitasaku, a district of Nagano. There are not too many of such intact places in Japan; the surrounding trees and the tree in the patio make you feel very calm and close to the nature. Unlike it is with other contemporary homes you won’t find too many sharp edges in the Shell Residence design. ARTechnic didn’t only design the exterior, but also created the special furniture collection to complement the general concept of the house.

The “Purposefulness of Shadow” Chair by ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects: The Chair with 3D Shadow

The ?Purposefulness of Shadow? Chair was designed by ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, Melbourne, Australia. It may be one of the most deceptive pieces of furniture ever designed. When you see this chair you may think it has 3D shadow. The designer?s message was to create the chair that would give the appearance of shadow when in reality it is actually two chairs in one. A second seat is placed under the first and gives the illusion of shadow, this seat let anyone place their coats and bags comfortably on it. As the architects say ?Shadow is purposeful. Not only does this two dimensional adumbration create graphical cues, the shaded space between the shadow and the object also has numerous purposes.? This stunning chair will boggle the mind of anyone sitting on it.

The Gunderson house in Norway by WRB: Fantasy Fjord Home

Norway is known as Northern severe country but there are so many fascinating views there giving a look to which you will instantly remind of crispy blue fjords, rock formations and windswept trees. I want to attract your attention by a breathtaking house in Haugesund overlooking a stunning fjord. The Gunderson House is a project done by Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects. The house offers beautiful views through big windows over the bay. An original house was situated on the southern part of the plot, with a cramped up sunny patio, without benefiting from the site scenic views and coastal location. The interior design of this residence is contemporary yet warm and welcoming. It combines various materials with bold and subdued colors, like the red and black kitchen and the light colored living room; the minimalist dining table and its colorful eclectic rug; the wooden ceiling, glass walls and stone fireplace. One of the most delightful features is the beautiful roof covered patio with its open fireplace and heated pool. Finding yourself in the Gunderson house you’ll be fascinated by a friendly atmosphere created by architects and designers.

Breathtaking Kona Residence in Hawaii

Belzberg Architects have completed contemporary Kona Residence in Hawaii. Located in a picturesque site, surrounded by volcanic slopes on one side and ocean on the other, the residence is composed of several individual structures, each of them offers its own unique view. There is no clear border between interior and exterior. The concept of The Kona Residence is like a complex composition of volcanic rock, water and wood. At first sight it's hard to believe that this is a house, because the abstract 3D-installation more associated with art gallery. Two bedroom blocks connected with the space for public use, where there is the living room, kitchen, dining, etc. The exterior is made from recycled teak wood; geometric forms and contemporary design look fantastic.
