Interior Design Sense

The Jardim Paulista House in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is designed by Brazilian architect Arthur Casas. Proving to be an interesting project from the very start, this home was constructed on two lots. One of the lots remained almost intact, because it was necessary to allow the Atlantic Jungle species to grow here. The area is one of the most valuable regions of the city, with wild plants growing protected inside the Jardim Paulista garden. Allowing the plants to flourish in a beautiful and protected environment is part of the statement made by this home – a promise to take care of nature and respect its incredible creations. The house was constructed facing the garden so that the inhabitants can enjoy the wild plants with only a swimming pool separating the two worlds.

Neutral colours and a vast usage of wood make the interior design look embedded into nature. Large sliding doors create a strong connection with the outside and allow fresh air and sunshine to move freely through the living areas. Wood is a recurring motif – it can be found in the frames of the windows, the cladding on the outside and the furniture found in all the rooms. Some pieces of furniture keep a raw form only to accentuate the blending of natural and contemporary design. Simple drapes protect the intimacy of the inhabitants and offer shade whenever necessary. Bold lines in the design are soften by the use of neutral colours that emphasize a slow paced world where guests can relax in the company of the home owner.

Whether unconventional in their materials or in their shape, these innovative bathroom products by Plavisdesign are statement pieces for your bathroom. The ‘Day’ bathtub is made of wood, and for good reason. This naturally rich wood scores big points in both the looks and durability departments, ensuring it stays beautiful for many baths to come. This organic, natural material is the perfect complement to the bathtub’s simple shape and long, lean lines. The ‘Just’ series is a contemporary ceramic line of toilets, bidets and washbasins, all featuring a unique ribbed pattern and a rounded outline that’s organic in its own way. Both bathroom products would make a great addition to the modern, minimalist bathroom or powder room. More information is available at Plavisdesign.

This neoclassical bathroom by Disegno Ceramica boasts all the classical charm of the early 1900′s bathroom suite, but reinterpreted in a modern way. Aptly dubbed “Neo,” this contemporary collection of sinks, bathtubs, toilets and bidets was designed on a smaller scale to suit today’s more compact condos and city homes. But the smaller size gives way to big design – the pedestal washbasin is characteristic for its squared edges, which are also echoed in the toilet and bidet pair. The bathtub boasts an old-fashioned silhouette, with its high back for reclining and relaxing, and its pedestal base, finished with modern, rounded edges. Pair these neoclassical pieces with ultra-modern or authentic traditional faucets and hardware to set the trend tone in your bathroom, powder room or ensuite.

In case you felt Freshome posts could use a little “adventure”, here is an example of design in its more dynamic shape. MCP Yachts have shared with us one of their projects called Red Pearl. Here is the information they sent: “Red Pearl is the result of a highly customized project for a demanding Russian client.  Exquisite painting, a fine piano on the game room, LED lightning and NAIAD zero speed system are some examples of the specific features in this project. The most modern construction technology bond together with a superb interior design and decoration to support maximum comfort, sophistication and safety to travel all oceans.” Freshome readers, is there a yacht designer in the house? If so, perhaps he or she could give us a professional opinion on this particular model. To us, she’s a beauty.

The Tub-E by Wild Terrain Designs is an electronic bathtub that seems to mirrors the bathroom culture of the future or so we like to hope. A fantastic fusion of functionality, modern aesthetics and cutting-edge technology, this bathtub of the future is as smart as its sexy. Don’t be fooled by the rather pedestrian bucket shape since the tub has been designed to accommodate two people and is all about comfort.The overall dimensions are 1200mm wide and 1200mm high and it includes a stunning swirl staircase, in perforated stainless steel that draws the user in and charms with its hypnotic design. Available in Stainless steel or Copper, the Electronic Tub-E has a smart system which can be used to auto fill, auto empty, auto clean option, and can also add any number of essential oils during the fill cycle. However this is not where the goodness ends as the tub also features a built-in heater, embed pinhole LED lights and an one-touch programming.

Recently I designed a Master Bathroom where I removed the bath-tub and designed in its place a new, spacious, sit-down vanity for the Lady of the House.  With the bathtub gone, the large window on the wall behind it was now presenting new design dilemmas - how would I mount a mirror in front of this huge window (and 10 ft ceilings), how would I light the mirror so that at night make up could still be applied, and how would I keep a natural light coming into the room without it being too bright?  Ultimately we decided to move the window up, and do a framed mirror on the new wall, but these images I complied present an interesting scenario for the bathroom…mirrors mounted in front of windows.

Jacuzzi doesn’t just do tubs; now you can enjoy a contemporary, coordinated full bathroom suite by the celebrated bathroom brand. The very interesting new Moove bathroom collection includes the company’s original claim to fame, a bathtub, non-jetted and ideal as a built-in in larger bathrooms; a basin sink, available in two designs; and a shower tray that, like the collection as a whole, is clean, simple and stylish. This modern, minimalist bathroom works with a pure white palette, and gains its main interest through unconventional shapes and silhouettes. We love the upward-swooping lip of the basin sinks. These designs are versatile and look elegant in a variety of decors like modern-minimalist, Zen and luxury spa-suite. Too see the full collection visit Jacuzzi.
