Casa de Veraneo by BAK Arquitectos Asociados

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on September 17th, 2009

Casa de Veraneo is located on a touristic zone in Mar Azul, Buones Aires. Designed by BAK Arquitectos Asociados, the low cost house is exceptional to spend vacation. The house’s site a gentle rise with a forest of pines around it. 6.50m x 10.30m is the area, covered with an reinforced concrete slab with a raw concrete facade. The house opens up to the landscape with a series of glass walls that connect forest with the house’s interior. The furniture from this house is a pine wood.

It’s a simple and beautiful place, perfect forth holydays and vacations. It’s a place where you can go to have fun and relax. The location is very beautiful and quiet. It’s actually a house in the middle of the forest. It’s not the creepy witch house from the stories. It’s a friendly and fun house, a real one, where family members and friends can refuge for a while.

The interior is mainly made of wood, a very friendly material. It creates a very inviting atmosphere, cozy and comfortable. It’s a rather simple design, but it provides you with everything you need. I especially like the glass walls. They allow you to admire the beautiful landscape and as for the privacy you don’t have to worry, because it’s an isolated area and there are no unwanted visitors, maybe just some small animals.

Residence in Miami by Max Strang Architects

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on September 14th, 2009

Located in Miami’s oldest neighborhood, the residence was constructed in the 1980’s and is surrounded by flourishing tropical gardens. The house had experienced two prior renovations and was quite mature for a design overhaul. The new design of residence takes full advantage of the amazing garden views. It is remarkable that the contemporary exterior of this residence served as a great catalyst for a more updated modern interior.

It’s quite a big residence. It has large and spacious rooms that give you plenty of space to decorate them in any way you want. The bathroom is particularly big. It’s decorated in a very simple and practical way, plus it’s all painted in white which creates the impression of a larger space. Actually, the whole house is painted in white. The walls are all white and the furniture is completely white, with the exception of some accent pieces, like the red chairs or the wood beautiful table.

The kitchen is not separated from the rest of the house as there is no separating wall between the rooms. This is a trick seen especially in small apartments or houses, to enlarge a little the usable space. Here it’s not the case, but still, the image is beautiful and modern. As for the outside design, the residence also has a nice pool and is surrounded by beautiful natural elements.
