White home with dark wood accents

White home with dark wood accents

I think this Swedish home with white waxed floors and white walls looks so fresh and inviting. The main furniture in the living room was picked in light or white shades, with the smaller pieces like the armchair, coffee table, and armchair in a variety of wood colors that warm up the interior look a lot. The color in this space comes mostly from the green plants spread all over.

I think the art prints work really nicely in this space and I love the arched tall mirror which reflects the space. The small home office in the hallway is a really nice touch as well, it fits perfectly in this corner which would otherwise be lost anyways.

    A equipe do escritório de design WATG reimaginou algumas das avenidas mais icônicas nas principais cidades do mundo, inserindo verde em cenários bastante populares. O trabalho foi descrito pela empresa de design global como “greening de guerrilha”. 

    Por meio de uma série de GIFs, as ruas de Londres, Nova York e Honolulu foram transformadas em verdadeiros jardins exuberantes repletos de árvores, com o novo paisagismo e a densa vegetação envolvendo a arquitetura existente.

    O conceito, intitulado “Green Block“, foi liderado e iniciado por John Goldwyn, planejador e arquiteto paisagista da WATG em Londres. Trata-se de uma competição de inovação interna focada em como sua equipe de planejadores urbanos, arquitetos, paisagistas e designers poderiam usar suas habilidades e lições aprendidas com a pandemia para melhorar os espaços urbanos em um mundo pós-pandêmico

    O conceito permite, ao mesmo tempo, uma visão da paisagem urbana verde, sem carros, ao ar livre, para as ruas das cidades.

    “Nossas cidades estão atrasadas para a transformação e, como algumas pessoas fogem para paisagens mais verdes na esteira do COVID-19, o Green Block prova que você não precisa sacrificar um pelo outro – na verdade, podemos, de fato, ter tanto o estilo de vida urbano quanto o verde ”, disse Goldwyn.

    O WATG dedicou anos de pesquisa às animações curtas, que visualizam ajustes práticos e viáveis que melhorariam a qualidade do ar, promoveriam o tráfego de bicicletas e pedestres e tornariam os locais tradicionais de concreto e tijolo em ambientes mais ecologicamente diversos.

    Casa de praia recebe tons neutros e decoração leve

    Casa de praia recebe tons neutros e decoração leve
    Henrique Ribeiro/Casa.com.br

    Muita gente tem o sonho de ter uma casa na praia para estreitar a conexão com a natureza. Tão bom quanto isso é ter a oportunidade de tornar ainda mais aconchegante a decoração de quem já tem o seu refúgio. O casal de proprietários desta ampla residência, de 450 m² de área construída, em Peruíbe, ao sul de São Paulo, escolheu o escritório PB Arquitetura para comandar uma reforma que transformou cada cantinho do lar.

    A história começa de uma forma interessante. Os arquitetos Priscila e Bernardo Tressino já haviam realizado a reforma do apartamento do mesmo casal, na cidade de São Paulo. O resultado foi tão especial que o convite aconteceu novamente, agora para valorizar a morada de praia.

    Inicialmente, a casa foi pensada como um ponto de encontro para os finais de semana e férias. Porém, com a chegada da pandemia, a casa acabou se tornando o endereço preferido do casal. “Eles estão amando tanto ficar lá nesse período, que já estão pensando em se mudar definitivamente”, revela Bernardo. 

    Áreas de lazer e convivência

    Apesar do casal morar sozinho, a prioridade do projeto foi por uma ampla área de convivência e lazer, principalmente para receber os dois filhos e três netos. Piscina, churrasqueira, espaços de lazer e jogos, spa, redes e ambientes modernos são sinônimos de dias felizes. Após uma grande reformulação, a área externa é uma atração à parte. Como a moradora é muito devota de São Francisco de Assis, a parede em frente ao spa recebeu um alegre grafitti em homenagem ao Santo, que foi feito pelo artista Fernando Reche.

    Para que a família possa fazer almoços especiais, os arquitetos criaram um espaço charmoso, conectado com o terraço. Valorizando o décor, há uma parede com painéis hexagonais. No piso, um porcelanato estampado na área da mesa faz o papel de um “tapete”. E como na casa de praia não pode faltar churrasco, a dupla de profissionais recorreu a uma churrasqueira pré-fabricada, que foi instalada próxima da pia. O frontão de cerâmica cria um toque irreverente ao espaço.

    Área Interna

    A atmosfera da casa mudou completamente por meio da troca e modernização de revestimentos e móveis, além do ganho de muita claridade e leveza a partir de soluções inteligentes. 

    “Antes, os acabamentos estavam desatualizados, o que tornava os ambientes escuros. Para que tudo pudesse ficar clean, começamos pintando os forros de madeira de branco. Além disso, adicionamos diversos pontos de luz, que foram distribuídos de forma estratégica. O resultado ficou surpreendente”, comenta Bernardo.

    Henrique Ribeiro/Casa.com.br

    Nos pisos e nas paredes, a existência de tabeiras e molduras tornava o visual sobrecarregado. Os arquitetos então incluíram pinturas claras acompanhadas por um porcelanato que lembra cimento queimado em toda a extensão da casa. O efeito resultou em amplitude para o lar e reforçou a integração de ambientes. O mobiliário ganhou vida por meio de novas peças e a repaginação das antigas.

    A sala de estar é bem ampla, perfeita para receber os amigos com muita tranquilidade. A presença de sofás com tecidos estampados ajuda a dar contraste e alegria. Por fim, uma poltrona suspensa torna a decoração mais descontraída.

    Na sala de TV, também há uma área com sofás e poltronas. Um dos destaques fica para as cortinas leves de voil, que permitem a entrada de luz natural. Para trazer aconchego, há um tapete de corda náutica, além do forro de madeira, em que é possível ver a estrutura do telhado à vista.

    Na cozinha, a pequena mesa de refeições, com cobogós em sua base, representa uma alternativa para refeições rápidas, sem a necessidade do uso da sala de jantar.  As cadeiras pretas Tolix, dão o ar da graça, com seu design único e criado há mais de 80 anos pelo francês Xavier Pauchard.

    Para deixar a vida mais prática e organizada, em uma única parede estão concentrados pia, fogão, geladeira, freezer, micro-ondas e filtro de água. Armários brancos, do piso ao teto, aproveitam ao máximo o espaço. Na bancada central foi utilizado Silestone, material bem resistente que se repete no frontão da pia.

    Por fim, com atmosfera relaxante, o banheiro iluminado conta com uma extensa bancada de mármore branco Espírito Santo. O piso recebeu um porcelanato branco e, para imprimir um toque de cor, o ambiente conta com cerâmicas estampadas na parede do box.

    Quarto de bebe traz toques de cinza, amarelo e bichinhos

    Já imaginou reutilizar decorações e, com isso, trazer um novo aspecto para o ambiente? Um casal, que está esperando o segundo filho, queria construir um quarto para o bebê aproveitando móveis usados na primeira gravidez. O projeto da STAL Arquitetura, formado pela Alessandra Pinho e Stella Teixeira, visou exatamente isso. 

    Quarto de bebe traz toques de cinza, amarelo e bichinhos

    Com berço, cadeira de balanço, trocador, estante de livros, caixas de brinquedos e muito local para armazenamento, a família tem um espaço aconchegante e muito bem configurado para atender suas necessidades. Apesar de pequeno, as cores pastéis e abertas produzem uma sensação de amplitude espacial e deixam o ambiente menos claustrofóbico.

    Para dar toques de diversão, papel de parede em bolinhas coloridas e pinturas da marcenaria dão alegria para o novo espaço da casa. Os móveis de madeira, além de acrescentarem um pouco da história da família à decoração, são modernos e funcionais. O sofá extenso, por exemplo, é uma ótima opção para a hora da amamentação, de receber visitas ou até mesmo para quando a criança for maior.

    Detalhes nas paredes, bichinhos de pelúcia e um tapete central foram alinhados com a intenção de fazer o quarto ser o mais acolhedor possível, transmitindo calor e carinho. As texturas e cores dos tecidos foram selecionadas com cuidado para participar do tema infantil, porém com um aspecto sutil. Seguindo uma linha minimalista, o projeto aproveita bem o espaço sem aglomerar com opções sem finalidade.

    Uma das peças que ganha destaque no quarto é uma estante desenhada pela dupla: uma maneira de guardar os brinquedos, sem fazer bagunça e, ao mesmo tempo, propõe originalidade para o ambiente.

    A high end fashion boutique by Studio &Space

    boutique Display tables

    BYLOTTE recently opened their 350sqm high-end fashion boutique designed by Studio &Space. A beautiful project and unique retail environment that caught my eye earlier because of the unique display tables, designed by the Studio. The owner, Lotte, is an avid 1970s lover, which is reflected in the use of material and the selection of iconic (vintage) design pieces. Thus bringing liveliness and character to the interior.

    Maaike of Studio &Space: “The concept aims to emphasize the unique own identity of the BYLOTTE brand and to create an elevated environment for its brands (including Max Mara, IRO and Joseph) and its community. Inspired by modern femininity, the interior plays with contrasts; the monochrome basis is calm, sober and features heavy volumes, while linen curtains, warm wood and round shapes bring warmth and femininity. “

    Description

    The apartment in downtown Bucharest is the home of a young couple with refined tastes and a keen eye for design.

    Their desire to move the kitchen from the separate room in the initial layout, to the open-space area, was a major factor that modelled this apartment. The kitchen and living room were visually separated by a veneered wood portal, also a canvas for the circular wall lamp, resembling to a sun eclipse.

    Another major furniture element that also has a space separation role is the

    The kitchen cabinets, the hallway wardrobe and the bookshelves toward the living room create a massive furniture block that separates the kitchen and the entrance hallway.

    The wood frame was also used in the bedroom area, where the window has been transformed into a cozy place for reading.

    Pastel colors of the upholstered furniture complement the ward wood tones, and the amazing works of artist Irina Neacșu completes this apartment’s design.

    Do you ever dream of moving abroad? If so, perhaps this story might inspire you! This beautiful old house in a small village between Nimes and Montpellier in Gard in the South of France belongs to Swedish photographer Anna Malmberg, French hat-maker Joncha and their son. Anna had dreamt of living here ever since she saw ‘Le Glorie de Mon Père’ as a young girl and Joncha grew up in Valence. In the summer of 2020, the family packed up their Stockholm apartment and followed their dream to live in a warm climate, closer to nature and the mediterranean sea. This is their home.

    The living space is a sea of earthy tones, layers of texture and lovely vintage and antique pieces. You might recognise the rug in this picture. It’s from Cappelen Dimyr – a Swedish rug company founded by Ellen Dixdotter, who’s Copenhagen home and Swedish country kitchen I featured a few weeks back. Anna recently did a photoshoot for the company in an incredible chateau! 
    Yes, Sweden is a small world!

    The brown chair was a recent flea market find. And what a find it was – these curved pieces are really hot in the world of interiors right now, and I like how usual this piece is. 
    The walls have been painted with natural limewash from Bauwerk Colour, which adds lots of lush texture.

    Bridging Boyd by Jolson Architecture Interiors

    bridging-boyd-home-design

    Bridging Boyd is a family residence designed by Jolson Architecture Interiors. This home is defined by a contemporary outlook and attention to detail that is contextual and considered. Consists of a variety of structures, surface, space, materiality, and textures that create new ways to engage with this iconic building.

    Originally the original Richardson House was designed between 1953 & 1955 by Robin Boyd during his partnership with Grounds and Romberg. Boyd allowed site boundaries to be the catalyst for extraordinary design solutions. This house celebrates its contextual location, and the concept hangs in the landscape above the riverbed.

    bridging-boyd-by-jolson-architecture-interiors

    The focus now is on creating a new dialogue with this iconic building, but still using Boyd’s original principles as an incentive to celebrate what some renovations have lost or thrown away. Architect deliberately chose not rehabilitate vision Boyd 1955, but was inspired by it. Architects also wanted to use bold geometry to define interior and exterior spaces. By using tangents to the circles, they create ‘brief encounters’ between past and present architectural concepts. They want each new space to celebrate the threshold of the constructed form and its relationship to the landscape in this unique location.

    outdoor-wood-bridging-boyd-garden

    The most important thing in design is maintaining clarity in our thinking and ensure that there is accuracy in synthesizing space, structure, and surface. The architect feels indebted to Boyd for honoring his work covering geometry with the intention of a simple and clear design that embraces landscapes at all times.

    Description

    This single-family home, built on the banks of a river, in the northern suburbs of Montreal, is the result of an architectural conversation with the design work of the architects of that era. Hidden behind a row of tall, mature pines, its siting allows the existing natural vegetation to become an integral part of the project while optimizing the views towards the water.

    Revisiting some key architectural elements of modernism in a contemporary manner, the geometry of the floor and ceilings, the integrated wooden furniture and the masonry cladding have all been reimagined. The garage, a symbol of a time when suburbia and automobiles rhymed with progress and enthusiasm, is directly integrated into the house, which itself forms a perfect 100-foot square. The question of privacy versus openings, crucial in the 1950’s, enables a response that creates two rectangular courtyards. They are inserted into the volume, bringing natural light into the heart of the residence, while also integrating the back yard and the swimming pool. These exterior spaces that are extruded from the initial mass also serve to define and structure the geometry of the interior space of the project. The 100-foot square is therefore in contact with an ordered exterior space placed in the foreground of the natural setting that remains intact beyond the boundaries of the house.

    Integration in the landscape

    The siting of the residence makes it possible to reintegrate the pre-existing alignments of the land and to therefore conserve as many existing trees as possible. Large coniferous trees were then planted in the heart of the first landscaped courtyard that provides vehicular access. The programmatic distribution of the interior spaces takes into consideration the relationship with the street, the relationship to the river, the solar orientation and the specific needs of the inhabitants. Also, the living room space was lowered a few steps and a glass pavilion has been installed on the roof. While initially design as a single-storey house, the pavilion creates a variety of spatial experiences.

    The north-south axis of the project houses the more intimate spaces with the need for privacy, while the living spaces are spread out along the river, thereby creating a strong link with the daily evolution of the surrounding landscape. The position of the garage makes it possible to minimize the presence of the residence to the street, while still creating a clear axis that marks the main entrance. It follows the same axis as the pre-existing access road, thus mitigating the impact on the site and its natural landscape. Abundant vegetation provides privacy for the residents while offering a green and natural context for the neighborhood.

    Treatment of materials

    A palette of materials, matched to the colour of the natural trees bark, makes it possible to integrate the new tone-on-tone construction into its surroundings. Natural materials, including clay brick (wall), wood (soffit) and stone (flooring are natural), have been given preference. Brass accents have added to the project, as has metal cladding. On the front facade, a large bay window creates a visual flow through to the river while serving to accentuate the pavilion like feel of the design.

    The mezzanine space that allows residents to benefit from an additional view onto the river serves to accentuate the composition and break up the horizontality of the residence. Some areas of the roof are covered with a white granular membrane while others have been landscaped, offering a green and temperate environment for this level. The overall emphasis of a sustainable design approach is enhanced through the incorporation of geothermal wells that provide both heating and ventilation for the residence.

    Tamara Magel’s stylish barn in East Hampton NY

    This modern barn, owned by designer Tamara Magel, was built just a year ago, but the owner deliberately tried to make it look like it has been here for a long time. And from the outside, it really does not differ much from typical old barns. Inside, bright modern interiors with original furniture and solutions create a stylish and relaxed atmosphere.

    Al Modar Founders Pavilion by Taco

    Description

    The Pabellón Fundadores (Al Modar) is the result of an architectural intervention to an existing building to transform it into a multi-faceted space adapted to a restaurant use. The objective was to achieve a casual, fresh and relaxed meeting place where users could live a sensory experience through coffee, food, nature, the built environment and social interaction.

    The pre-existing building was a small 50m2 rural house located on one of the corners containing the foundational plaza of Cholul, a community of pre-Hispanic origin belonging to the city of Merida, in the southeast of Mexico. It received a modification 25 years ago, in which the original roof and openings were lost. The current project proposed the demolition of the added slabs and the recovery of the original structure of the stone masonry walls, which were reinforced to support a reinforced concrete barrel vault at double height over the main entrance that extends the covered area, as well as a flat slab over the service area that supports an open terrace at the top, from which a new way of appreciating the public square is generated. The overlapping of the slabs generates a north-facing window that evacuates hot air, introduces light and frames the view of the treetops. Both the vault and the murals on the façade, made from the scraping of layers of paint that have been applied during its history, refer to the vault and murals characteristic of the 16th century church catalogued as a Historic Monument that is located in front of it.

    Due to sanitary regulations, 85% of the tables are outdoors. These are distributed between the back patio and the elevated terrace. The interior space is cross-ventilated and consists of a small dining area, the service bar, restrooms, and storage and support areas.

    The materiality retakes the practicality, warmth and simplicity that characterizes Yucatecan rural architecture. The stucco was preserved and restored with paint on the original walls. The lower bed of the vault exhibits the concrete of its structure with a coat of the same off-white paint as the rest of the building, while on the exterior of the vault a burnished stucco with integrated pigment in the same tone was applied, also applied to the frames of the recovered openings. The interior floors are made of white concrete with ecocrete joints to release moisture from the floor. The elevated terrace and staircase were paved with anti-skid hammered concrete and the backyard was leveled with local permeable gravel. Similarly, ironwork elements were used with encapsulated oxide, stainless steel, apparent concrete latticework, local stone railings, transparent and yellow silk-screened glass. Regional cedar and tzalam hardwoods were used for doors and tables (respectively) and the chairs were considered white plastic.

    The landscaping is an interpretation of the aesthetics of the Mayan plots that stimulates the senses. The plant proposal dignifies the pre-existing trees and is consolidated by means of concrete pots, produced locally, with endemic vegetation, benches attached to the walls and a water garden with a recirculating fountain.

    Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete

    Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
    VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    Gente, falando sério, existe algo no mundo mais fofinho do que um hamster? Pequeninos e delicados, eles são bons pets para quem não tem espaço para um cãozinho, ou está buscando um pet que precise de cuidados mais simples. Só que o fato deles serem “de fácil manutenção” por assim dizer não significa que você não pode se divertir e criar um mundo inteiro feito na medida para seu amiguinho!

    O Vanilla e o Butterscotch (olhem essas patinhas e orelhinhas!) têm praticamente uma vida em miniatura, com casa completa de dois andares, playground e culinária especial em datas comemorativas. Todas as aventuras são registradas no canal do Youtube, Vanilla Ham Ham. Confira aqui o passo a passo que a humana deles fez para construir uma casa digna de capa de revista, com palitos de sorvete!

    Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
    VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    O que você precisa:

    -palitos de picolé (500 deles)
    -ferramentas para cortar (tesoura, faca)
    -cola PVA
    -barbante
    -lápis
    -régua
    -lixa

    Passo a passo:

    1. Separe 100 palitos para o andar de baixo e corte as bordas arredondadas, para criar um efeito de tábua de madeira.
    2. Agrupe os palitos em um arranjo de tijolos, descentralizando o alinhamento. Corte os excessos e lixe as pontas para que seu hamster não se machuque com farpas.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    3. Pegue mais palitos e grude na transversal com cola para formar uma placa. Colocar algum peso sobre o conjunto ajuda a fixar.
    4. Separe 54 palitos para o andar de cima e repita os passos do andar de baixo.
    5. Separe 18 palitos para a parede. Corte 8 palitos na metade para fazer os detalhes do topo, da metade e da parte inferior da parede.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    6. Repita o processo com mais 18 palitos para a outra parede.
    7. Para a parede principal, pegue 31 palitos e posicione-os alinhados. Faça aberturas para as janelas e para a porta. Reforce e grude colocando palitos cortados na horizontal, como nas paredes. Você pode dar um toque extra cortando janelas em formatos divertidos, como um hamster ou um coração.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    8. Para fazer os cantos das janelas e porta, pegue dois palitos em ângulo de 90 graus, sobreponha as pontas e marque com o lápis onde eles se encontram. Faça uma diagonal neste quadrado que se forma e corte nela.
    9. Pendure a portinha utilizando barbante e cola.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    10. Grude as paredes no piso com cola. Use livros ou outros objetos pesados como apoio.
    11. Para a parede do fundo e parede lateral, separe 17 e 13 palitos, respectivamente. Deixe um espaço no lado esquerdo para o lado de dentro do piso.
    12. Grude a parede no piso do segundo andar.
    13. Pegue os 13 palitos e faça uma parede menor. Corte uma abertura para hamster. Deixe um espaço do lado direito do piso.
    14. Pegue mais 13 palitos para o teto. Corte os palitos em ângulo para os suportes e grude-os na base. Para encaixar o teto na parede, faça um pequeno corte.

      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    15. Agora é só ir preenchendo a estrutura com palitos cortados, como se fossem telhas.
    16. Corte mais palitos e faça um “contorno” no piso de baixo. Use dois palitos na vertical para criar colunas.
    17. Faça 4 sets de suportes em ângulos de 45 graus para reforçar os pilares.
    18. Para as escadas, cole dois palitos para formar um palito mais comprido. Com um estilete faça cortes para encaixar os degraus.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    19. Faça uma pequena extensão no andar de cima para encaixar a escada. Fixe-a fazendo um corte.
    20. Encaixe o segundo andar sobre o primeiro.
    21. Faça o mesmo para a escada que liga o térreo até o primeiro andar.

      Este hamster tem o sobrado mais fofinho, feito de palitos de sorvete
      VanillaHamHam/Reprodução

    22. Finalize cortando mais alguns palitos para fazer uma cerca no segundo andar.

    Description

    A modest Edwardian cottage in a quiet street in the Melbourne suburb in Thornbury has been transformed into a light-filled and spacious family home.

    The brief for the project was to retain the original charm of the cottage while transforming it into a functional and inviting home.

    The existing interior configuration has been reorganised into a more functional arrangement: the main bedroom at the front of the dwelling has been retained but a new ensuite has been added to provide additional amenities. Two further bedrooms are stacked along the long and narrow linear floor plan, followed by a family bathroom and a concealed laundry.

    The key element of the design is the new addition at the back of the property. With its high ceilings and generous windows, it creates a sense of lightness, and is the focal point of the home.

    The space features an open plan kitchen, dining and living area; oversized sliding doors open onto a timber deck, essentially elongating the living room by borrowing the additional external section.

    Materials have been kept understated, almost neutral, allowing to become a backdrop or canvas for the residents and their family life. Soft warm timbers, light warm greys and white tones feature throughout the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms, creating in unison an unpretentious, modern, and welcoming family home.
