Beautiful Landscape Design by Lutsko Associates
| June 6, 2011 | Mary | Share: |
Without charming green garden this private house called SF Residence in San Francisco would remain an ordinary house. The landscaping project was realized by design studio Lutsko Associates, and everything has changed. As we can see on the plan, the garden divided into three interconnected green “rooms” with very high walls and no roof. Because of this, the plants are getting enough sunlight. Talented designers were able to turn this place into an oasis among the shady but bright corridors where its pleasant just to walk and forget about the city. Partitions of frosted glass, ornamented tile and small decorative pond add luxury.

Amazing Villa UH1 by RB Arkitektur
| May 18, 2011 | Mary | Share: |
Called Villa UH1, this residence was created by RB Arkitektur in Stockholm, Sweden. The architects tried to make the building as much a natural part of the site as possible. It was conceived as a part of the surrounding landscape. The house carefully transforms the relief creating a living space covered with moss which is integrated with nature. The inner yard provides the maximal privacy, while floor to ceiling glass finish allows the sunlight to get into the residence. This Villa seems to resemble a German bunker from the Second World War. It is actually a minimalist home with contemporary accents. The green moss is also covering the roof, and blending this house with the surrounding nature just like the boundaries between construction and landscape dissolve. Have a look at the photos.
