Cranford Residence by Herron Horton Architects

This is a previous project by Herron Horton Architects that they’ve done before the Carlton Residence that we have already reviewed. The owner of this house, George Fisher, calls it the Birds Sanctuary for the amazing fauna at that location, including hawks, cardinals and woodpeckers. And the neighbors are a family of groundhogs. To keep the nature of this site intact, the house was built using only green materials: non-toxic paint, bamboo flooring and energy star appliances. The interior echoes with outside’s brown metal panels and that seems to be an advantage. Brown and white walls help to create a very cozy and calm atmosphere.

Carlton Residence in Paron, Arkansas

The Carlton Residence is built on calm seven-acres big lush valley full of beatuful trees and lawns. The Herron Horton Architects were asked to design a contemporary home that would consist of clean lines, have no clutter and overlook the valley. The mission was accomplished and the usage of green and blue appliances and furniture make the house warm and welcoming. The house is inhabitated by the young family with two kids which is why it's featured by two great child bedrooms, the cerulean blue one with circles and the lime green one with rectangles. The children bedrooms however can easily be transformed as the kids grow up just by removing the wall decorations. The inner space is very well connected with outside with those big glass facades and colours reminding of the blue sky and green grass.

River Road Project by Huges Umbanhowar Architects

This cool house was built in 2008 on the picturesque location in the small town of Sewall Point, Florida. Externally the house is an amalgamation of many separate interlocking rectilinear volumes. The blocks are built of different materials – some of them are of Italian limestone, some are of glass and aluminum. Frankenstein was created with a similar approach, however this building is beautiful and that is a result of very thorough architect’s work. Interior of the house echoes with the outside look. An abundance of mahogany framed windows lets plenty of sunlight in and reveals dramatic views to the water. To further unite the inner space with the exterior courtyard the bulthaup kitchen is enhanced by a sliding glass wall. For more information visit Huges Umbanhowar Architects website here.

Toorak House by Robert Mills Architects

Australian studio Robert Mills Architects has completed Toorak House in Australia. Robert Mills is renowned for innovative modern urban designs. The philosophy of this project from the outset was to create a luxurious contemporary family home. Designers used contrast of white, dark brown and black colors and high-end materials. Spiral staircase, linking the ground floor to the first and second levels, provides a striking sculptural element that contrasts with the cubic character of the interior. In the courtyard you’ll find a small pool and a cozy relaxation area. There is nothing superfluous in the home design, it is the epitome of good taste and luxury.

This Dance Theatre occupies 500 square meters and includes different areas: cloakroom, ticket office, dance floor where two bars with long counters run along both side, DJ cabin and the area for the audience. The main idea of the project was to create ice cavern in the centre of the city. Decorations, lights, shapes and colors follow this theme. For instance, two enormous neo-baroque lamps hanging like stalactites. The other source of light comes from some standing vases that look like rocks emerging from beneath the floor. This is a place for meeting people and all of the space organized to move easily and communicate with pleasure.
