Renovation of Countryside Castle by De Matos Ryan

I think it should be exciting to live in an ancient tower. The architects from De Matos Ryan presented such unusual project. The Round Tower is an ancient tower in England, which was reconstructed and turned to contemporary family residence. An underground extension, designed around a fully glazed courtyard, was added to the tower where an open living room, pool and terrace are situated. There is also a guest house and garage there. The main living areas are equipped in the tower, which became a modern dwelling with four bedrooms. The roof of the tower features a viewing platform for relaxation, with a magnificent view of the surroundings where you can enjoy privacy.

The residence was designed to meet the special climatic conditions in this region, because the difference between day and night air temperatures can reach twenty degrees. To balance these extreme drops, the house was partly built in the hillside to use the heat of the earth. The interior of the mansion is organized around a series of terraces and holes in the roof, which provide natural lighting and ventilation, as well as allow you to enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Modern and Magnificent House by Wessels Joyce Associates
Wessels Joyce Associates has completed a project of a house they designed in Knysna, South Africa. The mansion consists of a few blocks and has a very open plan. You can see on photos all of exterior is glassed, that creates a feeling of lightness and provides magnificent views everywhere. The interior is designed in modern style, bright colors are dominated there, but dark accents like columns, fireplaces or textiles add some originality. I especially liked the bedroom with king-sized bed, coated with weightless fabric and  located outdoor endless pool. Visit the Wessels Joyce Associates website ? here.
