Lookout House by Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects

Architects of Ike Kligerman Barkley have recently completed the work connected with the reconstruction of this large beautiful home, located in Connecticut. The project was called Lookout House. Originally, the building at this place was built in 1979 and home owners wanted to preserve its original structure, but expand the available space and make it more modern and convenient. The old part of the house, situated under cone-shaped roof, has undergone minimal changes, and new cube part was build next to the old. The space between these two parts of the building is connected by a glass corridor. Now the place is more than enough, and owners even have two beautiful pools, inside and outside.

Peninsula Residence by Bercy Chen Studio

Peninsula Residence is located in Texas, near the beautiful Lake Austin. The house was built in the early 80\'s and has recently been partially rebuilt and renovated. The authors of the transformation of the house were the architects of Bercy Chen Studio. The residence has been equipped with new large windows and glazing fragments to use natural light and enjoy the beauty of surrounding nature. The designers also changed the shape of the roof and made replanning of the interior. There is a variety of materials in the new structure of the house such as dark wood, steel and glass. As a result, the house looks more interesting due to a little extravagant and geometric shape. And warm neutral tones of living areas provide welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Morgan Satterfield’s House Remodeling Project

The Brick House is a web blog started by Morgan Satterfield and her boyfriend Jeremy Chlebik. They are writing about their own house and what they do to make it better. Remodeling began back in 2008, still goes on and to Morgan it seems like she would like to do that forever. And why not if this hobby makes her house better and doesn’t costs too much – she has a rule of $100 which means that she doesn’t spends more than that on one item. But most of the thing they do themselves and with the help of their family and friends. It’s hard to believe all that when you look at the pictures – the interior Morgan created is great and it’s amazing how many great ideas she found. If you are going to remodel your home in near future you should definitely refer to her blog here.
