Atrium Architects Company presented this unusual house, located near Moscow. The total area of Gorki house is ??731 sq.m. The project was designed specifically for a young couple with a child. Their only wish was modern architecture. Nestled on a hilltop, the house is surrounded by pine trees. Nevertheless, there is not a shortage of sunlight due to large windows. Structure is characterized by open floor plan, rooms are stylish and functional at the same time. Public areas smoothly pass to the private space and vice versa. It’s a beautiful place where the owners will have a rest of the megalopolis bustle. Via

People like all the unknown, so the space is always a dream. Even if it appears in your life only in the elements of the interior design, it’s just beautiful and stylish! It may be the concept of the interior or the stars on the ceiling, a chair like from the spacecraft, or the parade of planets in the shower curtain in the bathroom. Cosmic design of the apartment or public spaces can be a romantic and dreamy, playful or the embodiment of hi-tech style. We have chosen for you a few interesting pictures and details of decoration, which will help you create cosmic atmosphere. Let's go!

In this post we have collected for you the various bar counters, which are so popular in a modern kitchen or dining room design. At the same time they could be used in studio apartments (for the zoning of space), and in common kitchens. Counters can be placed separately as islands or be a continuation of the kitchen set. Choosing a bar counter you should consider three main points: 1) convenience; 2) functionality; 3) aesthetics. The material should be easy to clean and maintain but that creates a visual centerpiece for this spirited area. The most popular materials are marble, stainless steel, soapstone, wood and so on.

We like all the unusual and original. This selection of unique and stylish coffee tables can give you the interesting solution for interior design or just cheer up. As we see from the collection, there are two ways to create an original table: 1) unusual tabletop or glass, transparent tabletop with unexpected legs. For example, on the first picture you can see Sumo Wrestler Table with nice sculpture instead of legs. The second model was created for bicycle lovers. The third one is associated with elegance and gracefulness. Enjoy this funny bright collection.

Clavel Arquitectos completed the renovation of an existing attic in Murcia, Spain. The owner wanted to have comfort  space for living and for display his personal collection of paintings. And the designers tried to create the feelings of a suburban house in the city. The refurbishment was made on an existing penthouse that was affected by strict regulations that impeded to modify the alignment of the facade walls. Initially, the attic had closed uncomfortable layout, and the designers have proposed to embody the idea of housing bubbles. On the plan below we can see four units for different use: dining, living, main bedroom, children bedrooms while the space in between works as service and circulation. The contemporary glossy facade design is clad with opaque white glass.

Have you ever seen plant facade design? We are going to review a very unusual and beautiful project by Samyn and Partners. First of all, it was desided to maintain the existing one story house on the ground level. The renovation provided structure for the entry, office and kitchen for the residence, and the living room and stairway extend to the rest of the building. The house presents curved and vegetalised facades that are very private and closed to the neighbours to the north, the east and the south. In contrast, the west facade is is fully glassed  to provide natural lighting. The architects worked in collaboration with botanist Patrick Blanc and the facade is equipped with all necessary systems for plants life.

It's very romantic to walk deep in the forest and enjoy the nature and fresh air. But what should we do in winter season? Japanese designer Hidemi Nishida has created a gentle project, which is located deep in woods in Sapporo, Japan and provides warm retreat during the winter. The fragile shelter consists of six identical units that hug the landscape. The roof design should protect guests, its body purposefully hovering above the average snow line. Due to translucent walls, it glows magical at night. The project has very simple design and doesn't influence on the enviroment. And this shelter can be easily dismantled.
