FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURE

We love homes where the classic and the modern come together in a seamless manner. The Willow House is one such gorgeous example where the past and the present meet and do so without one infringing on the other. It is easy to see the charm of this lovely makeover. From the outside, you can clearly see brick walls that are whitewashed to give them a more elegant, chic appeal. Step inside and you will smart décor pieces and a neutral color scheme take over. Another striking feature is the use of beautiful framed glass walls on both the lower and the upper level that usher in ample natural light.

A Charlton Brown project, selected new-age décor pieces are carefully coupled with existing past furniture items to ensure that there is a smart transition from the past to the present. White and gray are the two most used colors it is the couch, wall art and other selective pieces that user in bright pops of color and do so without ever seeming to try too hard. It is the perfect amalgamation of class and contemporary panache and bright metallic accents make each space even more special.

The Willow House is a place where there is no shortage of excitement when it comes to color and pattern. A flood of natural light in the public spaces also illuminates the bedrooms and the bathrooms even as space is maximized using smart planning.

Some of the trickiest landscapes on the planet also give architects an opportunity to create unique homes that are anything but mundane. The gorgeous and luxurious Bela Vista House designed by Bernardes Arquitetura is one such residence where undulating lot and natural terrain challenges gave birth to a home that is refreshing, modern and spacious. The interior of this sweeping Brazilian house is connected with the lush green outdoors at all times thanks to the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors. Step beyond the main house and you see a stunning infinity pool, large deck and lovely garden greeting you gleefully!

Stunning landscape and an infinity pool along with spacious deck next to it make this brazilian home even more special

It is the bedrooms and the private areas that sit below while the living room, reception, dining area and kitchen sit above and are enclosed in structure built with glass walls and wood. This makes most of the scenery outside and also brings in a flood of natural light. Outside, you can also find a sauna, exclusive gym and barbecue zone while the guest quarters are placed away from the main structure. Life her feels relaxing with an array of sustainable and eco-friendly design features that make this one-of-a-kind dwelling! [Photography: Fernando Guerra]

Natural green landscape and uneven terrain help define the outline of the house

Bela Vista House is the result of the intersections between apparently divergent housing types: a patio house laid out in a square plan; and superimposed linear blocks inserted in the topography by carefully located retaining walls. These differences are responsible not only for the insertion of the house in the landscape, which create a contrast between the topographic plinth

The modern office has come a long way from the series of endless boring cubicles that were its most distinct quality in the 90s. Today’s offices have moved away from this monotonous look and many of them have taken inspiration from home environments and smart revamps to create more vivacious environments. The Pipefy Office designed by Arquea Arquitetos flows this footprint with an office spread across two different levels – one that holds relaxation zones, kitchen and sitting space and the other containing the office area with a modern industrial vibe.

Raw concrete wood, and industrial elements give this office a modern rustic look

The interior of the office with exposed plumbing, concrete floor and raw wooden finishes has an industrial and rustic vibe to it that is apparent from the very beginning. Rest of the space feels modern and elegant with a neutral color scheme mostly using white and gray to get the job done. Contemporary elements and the classic industrial features are cleverly combined and you see that the blend of styles is organic at every turn. Smart recessed lighting and track lighting fill the space with beautiful light and the interior feels brighter than it really is.

Contrasts between light and dark elements, open work areas and closed meeting spaces and the modern and the rustic ensure that this is an office that feels unlike anything else. Burnt cement floors and smart finishes balance these elements beautifully! [Photography: Eduardo Macarios]
