At the middle level the main entrance, a kitchen, a dining room, a master bedroom and terrace. The upper floor includes a spacious living room, a library and spa. It offers most magnificent mountain views. Comfort and coziness, which are felt in every room, were created by the use of warm materials and colors.

Spacious and cozy Hotchkiss Residence by Scott Edwards Architects

Scott Edwards Architects has completed the project of Hotchkiss Residence located in Vancouver, Washington. The mansion was designed for a retired couple, who have lived there for over 40 years and it is time to renovate their former home. The new residence has an area of ??185 sq.m. and simple classic design, like the owners wished. A large overhang creates a dynamic outdoor living room and creates enough overhang to shield the harsh rays of the sun from penetrating the interior of the home. Radiant floor heating, exposed wood structure and walnut cabinetry create a contemporary, yet warm home.

70 Residence by Push Architects: Closer to the Nature

A wonderful house on a river frontage in Australia was created by Push architects. Built very close to the river, on an elevated plateau, 70 Residence was designed to be an “L” shaped building with two storeys. Among the advantages of the house are the big double height roofed court promoting natural ventilation, a screen that creates a strong visual context for both the house and the courtyard and protects the entrance from the seasonal sun. Behind the house there are the platforms that strive to take your breath away until you reach the river where you can enjoy the wilderness of nature. Towards the south of the house you will be offered with such astounding view of the river front through the house glazed walls. There is also a pool which is smartly planned. This cozy house brings the feeling of comfort. Have a look.

Woodland Home: The Hobbit House by Simon Dale

Isn’t it great to live in the house that you built with your own hands? When you are your architect, you put your soul into your house design and make everything exactly how you want it to be. It’s also the best way to save money. Simon Dale and his father in law built this beautiful house in Wales by themselves and only a little help from their friends. It seems that they mostly used the materials found on the building site – the cost of construction is approximately 3000 pounds. Look at how cozy and unique this house is – the hobbits would love to live there. The house makes Simon’s family feel as close to the nature as possible and it has minimal visual impact being dug into the hillside.
