Beautiful House Integrated in the Natural Environment of the Residential Area

The initial idea of this project is to integrate the house in the natural environment of the residential area in which it is. In that way, the house looks to the fantastic views of lakes and green extensions that spread over the common areas of the estate. The structure’s house is based on game of two rectangular volumes. They are solving with clean finishes, good materials and exclusive qualities. The verandas and the pergolas, elements as volumetric as the housing, give personality to the facade. The covering as such disappears turning into a flat roof as expression of the evolution of the creative process. The forms purity moves to the constructive scheme, to the materials and to the environment impelling the union between the building and the context where it is located.

The housing, of 800m2 of surface, develops in a height. The principal access adapts itself to an area of average slope.Inside the following stays are located: foyer, room of kitchen is, dining room, office, larder, a cleaning of courteousness, seven bedrooms (with his respective baths, two dressing-rooms and a patio. In the later part, across big large windows, there is lounge that is opened for the garden, the swimming pool and for the natural scenery that offers the urban development. It surrounds itself with a landscaping realized with attractive interventions composed by lakes, birds and a big arboreal extension. In the exterior the pedestrian ways and the central landscaped area incorporate a vegetation of indigenous character, resistant to the climate of the area. The stockades of every plot and the trees and shrubs planted along the same ones, they delimit perfectly the transit between the private ownership and the community one. This project was developed by A-cero Architects

Lamp Table Combination - new contemporary lamp America by Metalarte

These unusual, ultra-modern lamp tables combine two workspace essentials in one modernist piece of furniture you’ll love! Available in solid black and white, these tables boast a block shape finished with a luscious glossy coat. The gloss makes its way up the lamp’s base, and up the shade. The contrast between the jet-black exterior and the white interior is so contemporary – very chic. The white lamp too has the same effect, only airier with less drama, with a warm glow radiating out from beneath the glossy white diffuser.

House Among Trees With a Stunning View

If you’ve ever fantasized about living in a perfectly transparent house on a mountain cliff with breathtaking views and where prancing around in your birthday suit couldn’t possibly be a sin, you are in for a treat. Alberto Campo Baeza is a distinguished Spanish architect who is universally respected for the stunning buildings he creates, the plethora of books he has published, and the endless accolades he has received. Not to mention that in 2008 he single-handedly inspired the dreamiest cavernous cabin in the woods of Hudson Valley, NY with a view to die for…

This two story home, currently resembling a glass sandwich (but maybe I’m just hungry,) is holding up its flat Travertine Roof by 10 cylindrical steel pillars and enclosed by glass exterior walls. The level below is beautifully sheltered and made solely of cement.

A walk through the back yard takes you through a lush garden and into what Alberto Campo Baeza calls “the cement box,” where an underground gallery, private bedrooms and baths await.

What an amazing view from the living room of the house!!

The bright contrast of colors bring a ton of flavor into this dining room.

This looks like the perfect spot to curl up and read a book, with a beautiful forest behind you for extra cushioning…

Bizarre energy pod that keeps Googlers refreshed

We don’t usually come up with single-product-posts at HD but every once in a while something cool comes up that just forces us to bend the rules a little. This alien looking Energy Pod by Metronaps which Google provides to its employees for taking power naps is one such product. As far as form goes, we don’t think it can be sexier than this; regarding function, it reclines occupants to the optimal napping position while playing ambient sounds that help nappers drift into light sleep.

At about 3.6 lakh rupees ($ 8000) it would be about twice as expensive as the massage chairs that are floating around in the local market.

And of course, expensive, ‘alienish’ chairs aren’t the only things that are special about google’s offices.
