Turning an empty place into a contemporary house

MOOARC has designed the house La Concha a combination between traditional elements and new styles in architecture. What make almost all of people surprise is that it was built in the seperated island in 15th century and now become a contemporary house. The modern house is comfortable and it combines natural materials like wood and stone.The façade reveals grey and blue stone and the tiled roof with its roof –top windows fit the surroundings.

Another special feature in the design of this house is making the interior completely visible from the outside. The interior has a contemporary aspect and glass is dominant material used. The presence of bricks in the design relates more to the traditional style.

The kitchen and the main living room are the most lit rooms in the house. There is a balance when it comes to the overall design since nothing seems out of place ,the different styles-old and new-combined create a sense of luxury and comfort  
 

Amazing floating house design in Costa Rica

The floating house designed by Architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe is a dream holiday retreat in the jungle of Costa Rica.
From the architects, the unconventional house is made up of three pods, connected by bridges and walkways. Moreover, “it is fitted with sustainable teak floors, solar water heating and UV water filtration systems. The infinity swimming pool, which sits below the house, allows you to enjoy the sunset, watch the waves and listen to the chorus of parrots and monkeys which live alongside you in the tree canopy.” To us, this house design project resembles a luxurious tree-house, where the indoor-outdoor interplay takes center stage.

The layout functionally serves the modern living needs of up to seven guests: “The lounge, framed by floor-to-ceiling glass concertina doors, has low sofas and handmade love chairs for relaxing in and making the most of the jungle and ocean views. An impressive 24m corridor connects the main living space to the two upstairs bedrooms and the huge open-air, bamboo-lined, spa bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and the second bedroom contains a queen-size bed and a single bed. The third bedroom, downstairs, is more compact with a double bed, en suite toilet and shower.” Each room features lovely shutters that open towards the terrace and the majestic landscape. Enjoy the views!

An impressive house in Brazil designed by Kali Arquitetura

To construct in a short period of time, a a metallic structure was chosen. This also makes the house lightweight, a positive factor considering the river proximity. From the architects at Kali Arquiteture this house is :“an edge of the prism would be placed in the land border and the three other walls would be large mobile glass walls (sliding doors that allow tight integration with the surroundings)”.

Use of simple lines and pure materials were key to developing the Pool House project. The interiors are minimalist, showcasing a color palette in tones of gray, black and white. The only opaque wall of the residence also serves as storage and support for various types of equipment. Stylish and inviting, this unconventional holiday oasis welcomes guests inside just to contemplate on the wondrous environment. What are your thoughts regarding this contemporary living refuge?
