Taking in the infinite views and inspiring sunsets on the Andaman Sea, this exotic residence located in Kamala, Phuket, Thailand accommodates no less than five bedrooms, on a total built area of 2160 square feet. Built on a hilltop, the villa not only takes in the surrounding beauty; the interiors are decorated with elements staying true to Thai national traditions. But this is as far as it goes- with a jaw-dropping price tag of $9 million, comfort is obvious in every room of the mansion and is reflected in opulent furniture items and extravagant decorating ideas. However, the most striking feature of this all equipped modern Thai villa is a 969 square feet infinity swimming pool, surrounded by vegetation and overlooking the sea and hills. A poolside terrace with comfortable lounge chairs becomes the transition space between the exterior and the plethora of indoor living facilities.

Djuric Tardio Architects designed this “Sustainable Eco-House” in Paris, France. The architects wrote about this project: The new project has been realized in a neighborhood, Antony that is an example of the belief that architecture, whether heterogeneous and homogeneous, is shaped by outdated zoning regulations. The delays in securing permits, along with conditions of the urban situation and our desire to continue and refine our own research on wood constructions, led us to propose a type of construction system.

Architects wrote about this project: The terraced plot is located on the eastern slope of the hill, with a 10-15 km panoramic view characteristic of a penthouse.

Total glazing of day zones provides a view from the “village” to the megapolis, with its puffs of smoke and fireworks.

Hayman five-star Hotel is located on a privileged island in Australia, and provides easy access to the Great Barrier Reef. The natural beauty surrounding the resort is just minutes away from exploring. This is probably why the 240 luxurious rooms of the hotel, included in suites, penthouses, villas and beach houses, are not just a way of guest pampering, but can also be considered the starting point of an unforgettable nature adventure. The hotel’s playful appearance, contrasted by the green forests and blue waters of the surrounding swimming pool, sets the tone for a holiday-inspired scenery. The interior design of the accommodation units tastefully combines modern details (precise geometric shapes and floor to ceiling glass windows) with more traditional furniture and wooden accents. The overall feeling is that of elegance and refinement throughout.

This video shows an interview with the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry. He is internationally well known and his buildings even his private residence, have become tourist attractions. His works are treated as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture. Vanity Fair Magazine labels him as “the most important architect of our age”. Much of Gehry’s work falls within the style of Deconstructivism, which is often referred to as post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go beyond current modalities of structural definition. Gehry is a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council and also a recipient of many architectural awards including Pritzker Prize, National Medal of Arts and AIA Gold Medal. Gehry’s best-known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; MIT Stata Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles; Experience Music Project in Seattle; Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis and Dancing House in Prague. During this interview, Gehry comments on the importance of his new web-based design software. Gerhy hopes the software will streamline the design and permitting process for owners, developers, architects, engineers, general contractors, and fabricators.

Throughout the years, the living room has transformed from a formal parlor-esque space designed for entertaining guests to a cozy and relaxing everyday place for friends and family to kick back in front of the television or share stories about their day. Today, the purpose of your living room depends greatly on the size of your home. In larger houses, a living room may still be dedicated only to hosting company, but in most cases a living room may fulfill multiple functions – from a home theater or makeshift office to a party space for your children’s sleepovers.

In the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco is located an office that succeeds in creating a fresh look and awe-inspiring decor. This is the office of Buck O’Neill Builders, and unlike the dark, cold and sometimes suffocating office cabins and cubicles, this office space is something really worth following and experimenting in your office as well. Meant for a team of six persons working together and built on a limited budget, the office has been in tune with the dream of the owner. He wanted the space to work as an element of motivation to all his staff members. The indoors are bright and fresh, while the design is absolutely eco-friendly and the materials used for building and furnishing is not that costly.
