Project FJ House was designed by São Paulo-based studio Guilherme Torres and is located in São Paulo, Brazil. The 1,453 square foot modern apartment was especially developed for a single owner, combining a business life with that of a DJ. Here is more from the official project description: “The kitchen, integrated to the living room, occupies the area that was previously designed for corridors and lavatory. All the woodwork was designed by the architect and one of the great aspects of the project’s interior design was the “high-low” effect, that is, great insights with very low costs. For example, the DJ table, is actually an aluminum ladder that gained a new interpretation. The whole furniture line follows an unassuming style, inspired in the 70’s. The Master suite gained a bathtub integrated to the sleeping area, a transgression more than welcome on this contemporary way of living”. The apartment below is a remodel of an 80′s apartment, which was brought down and designed from scratch. What do you think of the final result?

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.

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.

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Antony that is an example of the belief that architecture, whether heterogeneous and homogeneous, is shaped by outdated zoning regulations.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.

Drozdov Partners designed the Anti Patio house in Kharkov, Ukraine. 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.

Hayman five-star Hotel is located on a privileged island in Australia, and provides easy access to the Great Barrier Reef.

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.
