The team at U+B Architecture and Design did a great job in making the house more spacious and adding plenty of windows in order to ensure a great lighting throughout the day. The building seems to blend in its natural environment (a beautiful large wood) due to the materials used for the exterior finishes. The villa is located in Western Minneapolis and it was designed for a couple and their two children who will certainly not get bored of these landscapes any time soon. This is a post from the

The house has a great placement miles away from the city and up in the hills. You will find that the exterior is absolutely breathtaking and the outdoor pool seems to fit perfectly with the shape of the building. Contemporary furniture, large windows, beautiful terraces and a great interior design are the main features that brought this crib on our list of dream homes. This is a post from the

The house is called “With” and it is located in a rural area in Gunma, Japan, far away from the noise and insanity of major Japanese cities. With a minimalist, black and simple exterior design, the project involves a very interesting interior, with two levels, but no dividing roof/floor. Windows are large and occupy an important role in overall design of the house. This also gives a feeling of space and ensures a great luminosity. The living-room and bedrooms are located downstairs and there is  the possibility of dining outside the kitchen (a table is set there for special occasions). – via This is a post from the

This house comes from Suppose Design Office and it is located in Otake, Japan. The design of the building includes large apertures, so that each room is “open” and connected with the environment. This way the the North side of the house is “open even while closed”.

Truss beams and heavily-laid concrete formed the desert dome, which radiates a sort of tongue-in-cheek brutalism that screams 1960s American modernism both inside and out. For all of its exterior charm and interesting location, what would this location be without ten subterranean floors equipped with henchmen barracks and villainous shark tanks? Once you get your rocket launching pad permitted, be sure to install a vintage 1960s-era computer to control it?s targeting system? I mean, what?s the use of good interior design if there?s no consistency? – via Dominate the World from Your Volcano House In the dusty desert lands of Southern California, two hours east from the city of Los Angeles, lies the Volcano House: a concrete modernist masterpiece that sits on top of a small volcanic peak.

Located in Lake Union, Seattle, this floating residence is a display of tasteful interior and exterior design. Its room structure was designed so that all the private areas like bedrooms and bathrooms be placed on the ground floor in order for the second story to be dedicated to one large entertainment room. Sliding doors reveal an outdoor terrace for relaxing and enjoying the views. The masterminds behind this project were Vandeventer + Carlander Architects from Seattle, USA.

Their aim is to “give their client’s project a value for money, and at the same time create a concept identity in which both the clients and the company can be proud of”. Perhaps this goal is what also led to creating this ostentatious house deign and what made it a successful project. The building is shaped like the letter “U” and most of the rooms have a view towards the pool, which is located in the middle. It has three levels, spacious, opulent bedrooms and bathrooms and a dining room which is connected to the pool through sliding doors. We will let you admire the photos for a better understandment of the team’s work.

The villa represented a challenge from the very start. Building something in the middle of nature is not always easy, because the resources are sometimes scarce. This is why a huge creative effort was needed in order to create this fantastic design with all the utilities included in a place surrounded by “185 hectares of forests and agricultural land”. Still, everything turned out great. The exterior design is something else and the interiors are beautiful and spacious. Have a pick at results in the pictures below!

His work is called “Maniac World” and his unique characters are known as “maniacs”. Here are some words from the designer himself concerning his creations:” At first glance, it’s as if my work is made up of chance: a giant mess! But for me, all is organized in this chaos. The stories I tell have a beginning and an end and a sense of follow through. The characters have personality; they have reference points. So yes, I enrich my universe, my second world, by placing in it new codes and new inhabitants every day.” These huge pillows ( 55×70″ ) are every cartoon fan’s dream. Colorful and crazy, they are sure to freshen up any funky room.-via Cool Hunting This is a post from the Freshome Magazine , who bring you the latest news in Interior Design, Decorating, Furniture and Architecture.
