Interior Design Sense

From architect Sergio Araneda, you are looking at “Casa Maiz”, a project located in a small forest in Los Pinos, Reñaca, V Región. Two things defined the design strategy of this place. On the one hand the owners and developers wanted a house that could receive a person or two, without the closure of other units, and secondly a house that had the capacity to receive the numerous family of the owners. The result was a “compact volume that generates concentric forces, and from that inner core faces freely and smoothly with the exterior and main sights”. This home may be very practical, but we rarely enjoy seeing compact houses, as they lack the warmth a and spacious feel a wider home has to offer. What do you think of this place?

More and more homes these days have a color theme. We would like to show you Maison NW, a work studio located in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, but also a private colorful home. The huge workshop spreads over an area of 1,937 square feet and has three levels. Architect Nathalie Wolberg is the owner of this place which is said to carry “her own personality, own desires, passions, even pathological deficiencies”. We think the living space looks really cool and unusual. The approach is a modern one, and the lighting effects are quite spectacular. The stairs connecting the three floors are also unusual, some might say a bit dangerous, due to the fact that there is no hand-grab available. We absolutely love the net in the forth picture and we think it is an idea that could be applied at a large scale.-via Archinect

From Richard Wittschiebe Hand, this imposing home belongs to Carol Richard, an architect who has always dreamed of designing her own place. We don’t know if this looks like a dream come true to you but for Carol it was the result of all her architectural wishes mixed together. Even though it looks like a fortress on the outside, perhaps causing some of you to say this is not the warmest place in the world, when you step inside, the atmosphere changes completely. Light and color fill the rooms, creating a fresh and comfortable feel.  The pale blue and the pink chairs stand out in contrast to the white walls and wooden floors. There is a stairway matching he floors which connects the levels and fits perfect with with rest of the decor. We are sure you will find a lot of pleasing decorative instruments in the pictures below and we are looking forward to your comments on them.- via Contemporist

From architect Manuel Ribeiro, Aveleda’s House is located in Portugal, next to “Bracara Augustae”, an old Roman city. The main idea of the design took its roots from the fact that ancient Roman homes were usually built around a square.  Here is a statement from the designer about this: “We tried to take the most of the land to create a connection with the interior of the building, leaving a view of the valley and the square that exists between the two bodies housing.” The residence has a complex architecture plan and houses 4 bedrooms, a gym, two large bathrooms with an impressive design. Outside there is a giant pool, typical for this type of building. The interior design is modern, with contemporary furniture and interesting decorative items. Even though this house looks fantastic, we can’t help but wondering why the owners need so many rooms.

Located in a beautiful natural area, surrounded by hills, this project comes from architect George Balan and it is the type of residence that is beautifully integrated in its environment. The concrete and wooden exterior makes for a fantastic camouflage and the finishes  are weather resistant.  The interior is wide and spacious, with walls made of wood and marble, in order to create a very natural feel.  Strategically placed windows allow its inhabitants to make the most of the surrounding views. The furniture is modern and the interior design elegant and stylish. Away from the city noise, it almost seems like this place is calling out for an escapade. Quite a nice summer hideout, don’t you think? – via O casa pe zi

From architect Gilberto L. Rodriguez comes Casa Palo Blanco, an impressive white residence located in N.L. Mexico. Due to the unusual exterior, the lack of large windows and the tall vertical structures, the residence could be mistaken for a contemporary fortress with watch towers. We imagine the view up there must be something else, especially when there is a fabulous built room to watch it from. Winner of many important architecture awards, this house impresses not only because of its innovative exterior but also due to its modern interior design. A beautiful fireplace is the focal point of the living-room, combining natural elements with cutting-edge decorative items. The furniture definitely fits the environment generating an elegant and sober overall atmosphere.

This “must see” San Francisco home was designed by architect Joel Karr of Group 41 Architects. The project is called H House and features a property overlooking the hills of Noe Valley. The shape of the home is not surprising since a tall structure is a must due to the expensive real estate prices in the area. The inside of the home features clean modern design which is great in San Francisco as a person can be more focused on home furnishings and amazing views from the windows. Via and Group 41.
