While most of us may not spend a lot of time thinking about room color, it affects every day of our lives. Room color can influence our mood and our thoughts. Colors affects people in many ways, depending upon one’s age, gender, ethnic background or local climate. Certain colors or groups of colors tend to get a similar reaction from most people – the overall difference being in the shade or tones used. So when it comes to decorating, it is important to choose wisely.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/room-color-psychology.jpg" /><br /><br />In order to have a beautiful home, you do not have to worry about trends. Color trends will come and go. The people who live in a home make it beautiful by choosing colors that reflect their likes and their personalities. The trick is to blend those colors you like into a pleasing combination. Choosing color combinations is one of the most intimidating steps for beginners. Color has the power to change the shape and size of furnishings as well as the shape and size of the room itself. Selecting colors is not difficult if you equip yourself with some basic information about color and its effects, so let’s find out more about room colors, and how these influence your mood.<br />Choose Wisely!<br /><br />Keep in mind that each color has a psychological value. Think about how those colors make you feel- they can influence any feeling from tranquility to rage. So when trying to create peace and harmony in your home, choose your colors wisely. Some colors in large amounts will have just the opposite affect on you and your loved ones’ moods.<br /><br />What mood do you want to create? Which colors will help you achieve that mood?<br /><br />Find clear answers to these questions. If you find this task difficult try to look at magazines, decorating books, blogs and websites for ideas, or let your fabric be your guide. In fact, this is a good approach to take even if you’re starting from scratch. Fabric, carpeting, furniture and tile are available in a more limited range of colors than paint, so choose them first and then decide on your paint color. Once you find something you like, limit the number of colors in a room to no more than three or four. Too many colors can make a room look busy or cluttered. Paint is fairly inexpensive and transforms a room more quickly than anything else, so you can afford to experiment a little.<br />Room Colors and Their Effects<br /><br />Understand that colors behave in three basic ways : active, passive, and neutral. You can easily match every room’s colors to your personal desires, to your taste taste and to the room’s purpose. Light colors are expansive and airy, making rooms seem larger and brighter. Dark colors are sophisticated and warm; they give large rooms a more intimate appearance. Now let’s find out more about colors and what they can do to a room:<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/red-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Red raises a room’s energy level. It is a good choice when you want to stir up excitement, particularly at night. In the living room or dining room, red draws people together and stimulates conversation. In an entryway, it creates a strong first impression. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, speed respiration and heart rate. It is usually considered too stimulating for bedrooms, but if you’re only in the room after dark, you’ll be seeing it mostly by lamplight, when the color will appear muted, rich, and elegant. Red, the most intense, pumps the adrenaline like no other hue.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/yellow-room-color.jpg" /><br />Yellow captures the joy of sunshine and communicates happiness. It is perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, where happy colors are energizing and uplifting. In halls, entries, and small spaces, yellow can feel expansive and welcoming. Even though yellow although is a cheery color, it is not a good choice to use in main color schemes when it comes to designing a room. Studies show that people are more likely to lose their temper in a yellow interior. Babies also seem to cry more in a yellow room. In large amounts, this color tends to create feelings of frustration and anger in people. In chromotherapy, yellow is believed to stimulate the nerves and purify the body.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/blue-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Blue is said to bring down blood pressure and slow respiration and heart rate. That is why it is considered calming, relaxing and serene, and it is often recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. Be careful, however: a pastel blue that looks pretty on the paint chip can come across as unpleasantly chilly when it is on the walls and furnishings, especially in a room that receives little natural light. If you opt for a light blue as the primary color in a room, balance it with warm hues for the furnishings and fabrics. To encourage relaxation in the social areas ( family rooms, living rooms, large kitchens) consider warmer blues, such as periwinkle, or bright blues, such as cerulean or turquoise. Blue is known to have a calming effect when used as the main color of a room. Go for softer shades of blue. Dark blue has the opposite effect, evoking feelings of sadness. So refrain from using darker blues in your main color scheme. Stay with the lighter shades of blue to give you and your loved ones a calm effect.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/green-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Green is considered the most restful color for the eye. Combining the refreshing quality of blue and the cheerfulness of yellow, green is suited for almost any room on the house. In the kitchen, green cools things down; in a family room or living room, it encourages unwinding but has enough warmth to promote comfort and togetherness. Green also has a calming effect when used as a main color for decorating. It is believed to relieve stress by helping people relax. Also believed to help with fertility, making it a great choice for the bedroom.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/purple-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Purple in its darkest values (eggplant, for example) is rich, dramatic, and sophisticated. It is associated with luxury as well as creativity, and as an accent or secondary color, it gives a scheme depth. Lighter versions of purple, such as lavender and lilac, bring the same restful quality to bedrooms as blue does, but without the risk of feeling chilly.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/orange-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Orange evokes excitement, enthusiasm and is an energetic color. While not a good idea for a living room or for bedrooms, this color is great for an exercise room. It will bring out all the emotions that you need released during your fitness routine. In ancient cultures orange was believed to heal the lungs and increase energy levels.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/neutral-room-colors.jpg" /><br /><br />Neutrals (black, gray, white, and brown) are basic to the decorator’s tool kit. All-neutral schemes fall in and out of fashion, but their virtue lies in their flexibility: Add color to liven things up; subtract it to calm things down. Black is best used in small doses as an accent. Indeed, some experts maintain that every room needs a touch of black to ground the color scheme and give it depth. To make the job easier, you can rely on the interior designer’s most important color tool: the color wheel.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/crimson-room-color.jpg" /><br /><br />Crimson can make some people feel irritable. Invoking feels of rage and hostility, this is a color that should be avoided as the main color of a room. Sitting for long periods of time in a room painted in this color will likely affect the peace and harmony you are striving to create in your home.<br />Color Effects on Walls and Ceiling<br /><br />The ceiling represents one-sixth of the space in a room, but too often it gets nothing more than a coat of white paint. In fact, for decades, white has been considered not only the safest but also the best choice for ceilings. As a general rule, ceilings that are lighter than the walls feel higher, while those that are darker feel lower. Lower” need not mean claustrophobic: visually lowered ceilings can evoke cozy intimacy. As a general rule, dark walls make a room seem smaller, and light walls make a room seem larger.<br />Conclusion<br /><br />These general guidelines are a good starting point in your search for a paint color. But remember that color choice is a very personal matter. You are the one who has to live with your new paint color, so choose a hue that suits you, your family and your lifestyle.

Sometimes the smallest things make the greatest impact. It could be the addition of a mirror, a painting, a lamp or even a plant. Maybe you want to soften your walls, brighten a room, or add some warmth to your living space. Take a look at these clever design tips and see how they can inspire you!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-via-Triangle-Honeymoom-bright-LR.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-via-Triangle-Honeymoom-bright-LR.jpg" /></a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. Paint smaller rooms in softer, lighter colors to help make the room feel larger.The living room above is a great example of how to maximize a small living space. A room of this size has the tendency to seem cramped, but the large windows, light colored walls and ample use of mirrors not only reflect the natural light pouring in from the doors and the windows but the use of mirrors also gives the optical illusion of space, making the room seem larger than it actually is. Conversely, darker colors will make a room feel smaller. Even with the abundance of natural light and the strategic placement of the mirrors, this room in a darker shade would have a more boxed-in feel to it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-Tricks-via-Michael-Partenio-Mirrros-to-add-light.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-Tricks-via-Michael-Partenio-Mirrros-to-add-light.jpg" /></a><br />2. Use decorative mirrors to add instant light to your living space.<br /><br />As seen above, mirrors can also be used to make a small space feel larger. For larger rooms, or any room with a more limited amount of natural light, mirrors placed directly across from the windows, will add instant light. Decorative mirrors can also be used in lieu of art to fill empty wall space. Large or small, mirrors add light and dimension to your living space.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-image-via-google-mixed-up-textures-and-patterns.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-image-via-google-mixed-up-textures-and-patterns.jpg" /></a><br />3. Mix it up. Mix up patterns and textures. Mix up old and new, expensive and inexpensive. <br /><br />There’s nothing wrong with placing family heirlooms alongside your modern couch. All good interior decorators will tell you that the most important aspect to decorating your home is that it reflects who you are, your personality and your style. The antique Chippendale desk that was your grandfather’s tells a story. It tells the story of your past. The modern couch you fell in love with and simply had to purchase also tells a story, your present story, and there is no reason why the present and past can’t co-exist beautifully together. The same can be said for art. Now you might not want to place a painting by Salvador Dali on the same wall next to a Monet, but there’s no reason why they can’t be in the same room together. With fabrics whether it be furniture, rugs or pillows, varied colors and patterns can bring warmth and texture into your living space.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-via-decoist-couches-w-slip-covers.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-via-decoist-couches-w-slip-covers.jpg" /></a><br />4. Slip into something a little more comfortable!<br /><br />Slip covers often get a bad rap but they are truly wonderful things. They can serve as a means of changing your furniture’s look to reflect the seasons. These easily removed coverings allow you to have a sophisticated look without constantly worrying about people dirtying or spilling on your furniture. Slip covers are ideal for rooms used frequently by children. Above the white slip-covered couches gives the air of a casual, comfortable, easy yet sophisticated elegance.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-via-hgtv-wicker-baskets-used-as-storage1.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-via-hgtv-wicker-baskets-used-as-storage1.jpg" /></a><br />5. Wicker baskets<br /><br />Wicker baskets are an economical and elegant way to add storage to any room. Baskets can be used to store and display books, architectural and decor magazines, toys, towels and blankets to name a few. Place a couple of small wicker baskets on the counter-tops in your kitchen to beautifully display and store your fruit and vegetables.<br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-using-what-you-have-plates-on-walls-The-Nester.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Design-tricks-using-what-you-have-plates-on-walls-The-Nester.jpg" /></a><br />6. Use what you already have to decorate.<br /><br />We all have items in our possession, probably packed up in boxes somewhere and haven’t given them a second glance. Your home needs some accessories. Instead of running to the store, take a good look at what you already have. Trays, wooden, acrylic, metal or silver can be placed on top of luggage racks, tea carts, trunks, bedside tables and coffee tables for extra texture and dimension. Arrange candles on them, frames or pile books on top of them. Plates can be hung to create wonderful wall art. Art from children’s books can be framed and hung in nurseries, children’s rooms or their bathrooms. You will be amazed at what you can do with what you already have!<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/decorating-tricks-hannging-pot-racks-via-decortoadore.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/decorating-tricks-hannging-pot-racks-via-decortoadore.jpg" /></a><br />7. Add a hanging pot holder to your kitchen.<br /><br />Kitchens are meant to be warm and inviting. We spend much of our time in them whether it be for preparing meals, serving meals or entertaining. A hanging pot rack is useful elegance. Kitchens are meant to feel as though they are in constant use and a hanging pot rack certainly makes one feel this way. In addition to looking so wonderful, (there are many sizes and styles available) additional cupboard space below is now freed up to store other items. Seldom has anyone complained of having too much storage.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-plants-in-the-house-pinterest1.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-plants-in-the-house-pinterest1.jpg" /></a><br />8. Go green.<br /><br />Add plants to your living space. Add them to every room, small or large, few or many. Plants are an inexpensive means to accessorizing your space and adding color and texture. Not only are plants beautiful but many can clean household air and balance humidity. They can absorb pollutants and remove harmful gases from the air. No home should be without these wonderful greens!<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-painted-bookcases-via-redoitdesign1.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-painted-bookcases-via-redoitdesign1.jpg" /></a><br />9. Paint or wallpaper your bookcases.<br /><br />This instant pop of color will brighten and re-energize any room! It’s amazing how something so simple as a coat of colorful paint can instantly energize and transform your space. This built-in bookcase would be simple and ordinary without the bright blue interior. Perhaps the simplest and most inexpensive way to transform a boring space is to apply a coat of paint somewhere unexpected. Bookcases are an ideal place to start because you don’t need to paint a large area. Other fun places to add a pop of color include painting fireplace mantels, the insides of closets, hallways and ceilings.<br /><br /><a href="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-via-glitter-guide-layered-rugs1.jpg"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/design-tricks-via-glitter-guide-layered-rugs1.jpg" /></a><br />10. Use area rugs to soften hardwood floors.<br /><br />Throw rugs give warmth and can add great texture, color and personality to your living space. Hardwood floors are beautiful and easy to maintain but they lack the comfort that carpeted floors offer, especially in the cooler months. Area rugs can add fun and functionality to your living space. Use several of varying patterns and fabrics together to showcase your character. Or add several rugs of the same pattern and fabric, or different textures but the same color. The possibilities are endless. You can change your area rugs to reflect the seasons using warmer tones and fabrics for cooler months and lighter ones for the warmer days of the year. There are many lovely cotton, washable area rugs which are ideal for those homes with children. There really is no reason why a home with young children cannot also be a stylish one.<br /><br />What inspired you? Personally, I’m just mad about these animal hide rugs that seem to be all the rage lately. The question is, do I go for the cow or the zebra? Or both, and just say that I live in a barn!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">via</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Freshome.com - Interior design ideas, home decorating photos and pictures, home design, and contemporary world architecture new for your inspiration." src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/themes/freshome-v3/img/logo.png" /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209944279442132765.post-33130386830112296262012-10-13T15:05:00.000-07:002012-10-13T20:14:58.678-07:00Twin Modern Home Design in Paraguay Determined by Unusual Land Intervention<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Bauen-dosviviendas01-1.jpg" /><br /><br />Paraguayan architecture studio <a href="http://hypebeast.com/tags/bauen/">Bauen</a> came up with an intriguing solution for building two modern single-family homes in Paraguay. By completely reinventing the space and creatively modifying the land, the dwellings were placed symmetrically around a central garden, both benefiting from privacy and plenty of green space. Each of the two homes is embedded in an artificial hill, having their roofs perched above ground in order to allow natural light inside.<br /><br /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Bauen-dosviviendas01-2.jpg" /><br /><br />Natural stone walls can be seen through the green hills, framing the living spaces and adding a strong visual effect to the facade overlooking the garden and triangular swimming pool.

We’ve gathered together some of the best examples to walk you through it<br /><br /><br />Hang pendant lighting on long cord extensions so that the shades can be enjoyed at normal viewing height, as lights suspended at too high a level will only be overlooked and go to waste.<br /><br /><br />But this needn’t be the case if you have a bigger arrangement that is more than capable of standing out on its own.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCusIk2Og5Jxc5R7n0H-fsw_BmJcrHbDSeDAF_TaVM6LTwdQnfvbbxQ3fnjp1hTTRau3P2ZPAOoYYrj7CW9wB8wWUyeV8jwGGXBfeCzDhTjsYhZxJG20eCqSWpVDVrUkYeDvHseJQ-pqU/s1600/Gray-L-shaped-sofa.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCusIk2Og5Jxc5R7n0H-fsw_BmJcrHbDSeDAF_TaVM6LTwdQnfvbbxQ3fnjp1hTTRau3P2ZPAOoYYrj7CW9wB8wWUyeV8jwGGXBfeCzDhTjsYhZxJG20eCqSWpVDVrUkYeDvHseJQ-pqU/s640/Gray-L-shaped-sofa.jpeg" width="468" /></a></div><br />Via Designer Raymond Chen<br />Chandeliers for high ceilings always look amazing when picked in generous proportions as their complex designs demand attention, and their sparkle looks expensive. Alternatively, you can install track lighting that isn’t meant to be a focal point, but is easily moveable over long areas for useful task lighting as and when needed, even if you should have a quick furniture change around.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYulHm9Aakovn0OzHhD9wSEIvONe4DLQe_b7jLOZp04vJyS8P-hLlX5ZQx95-_ElXcHjv-CrJix20I46yjmnGGBQti2b82SvokVVUtAWyHR5yFh6R24u-U0F3BgP57FpgF0imEu9D2bVw/s1600/Traditional-living-room-decor-665x442.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYulHm9Aakovn0OzHhD9wSEIvONe4DLQe_b7jLOZp04vJyS8P-hLlX5ZQx95-_ElXcHjv-CrJix20I46yjmnGGBQti2b82SvokVVUtAWyHR5yFh6R24u-U0F3BgP57FpgF0imEu9D2bVw/s400/Traditional-living-room-decor-665x442.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>High walls can, and should be, utilized as extended storage areas; an ideal example of this is the installation of a home library that not only takes full advantage of the added stacking space but looks attractive, warm and homey as well. Don’t forget the addition of a home library ladder too though or you will be left feeling frustrated every time you find the need to get the step ladders back out of the shed to reach that much needed hardback edition on a high shelf; top shelves up in the rafters can be used for storing little used keepsake editions that you just can’t seem to bare to part with, or for displaying art and artifacts far from the reach of clumsy visitors!<br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209944279442132765.post-54520728584441396622012-10-11T20:54:00.000-07:002012-10-13T20:45:17.035-07:00Interior Design Ideas, Interior Designs, Home Design Ideas<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Context</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The pinewood of Marina di Castagneto Carducci was born early last century as a result of a process of reclamation of the coastal dune belt.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_6.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the late Fifties architect Giancarlo De Carlo draw up an urban development characterized by the large presence of the landscape, in which buildings, surrounded by dunes dotted with pines, oaks and myrtles, with strong character and individuality are connected by paths that follow the free conformation of the landscape.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_7.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The consequence of this, but especially because a rapid process of tissue development built since the Sixties, is the heterogeneity of the architectural presence: buildings realized with quality, often characterized by the use of stone walls as an expressive character, with formal features that often do not disdain to look at the best Italian and European experiences of the Fifties, are counterbalanced by buildings of little value, inconsistent in their morphological and decorative devices, often the result of successive transformations and uncertain.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_9.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align:

style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The work presented here was created by the occasion of a renovation of a summer residence built in the Mid-Sixties. The poor architectural quality of the existing building is an opportunity to think about the quality of the landscape in which the building stands on a sand dune, surrounded by pine trees located in singular points, often very close to the walls.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_10.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The project outlines a double perspective: on one hand the need to find a synthesis between the nature of the building – although still to be discovered – and the morphological and color values of the place where it is located, the other hand the desire to place the character of the interior in keeping with a trend made of comfort, domesticity, appropriateness. All this applies especially in the modulation of light and views, to the extent and shape of spaces, in the discretion of the materials.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_11.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">A longitudinal ideal director, through the whole building, allowing you to find a convergence between two significant operational aspects: firstly, the redefinition of the internal space, which translates into a sequence of rooms through closely related to each other and with the landscape surrounding, and secondly the identification of the character of the building in a new morphology, at the same time natural and archetypal, finding in the horizontal sediment a new axpressive character.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/08/dezeen_House-in-a-Pine-Wood-by-Sundaymorning-and-Massimo-Fiorido-Associati_2.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">From these thoughts descend the criterion of remodeling openings in the building: almost all different but built taking into account both the sequence of the interior, the relationship between the room and the external balance, the relationship mass-punching of the building.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img

large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is especially evident in the large dining-room window, at the end of successive openings of the same size, framing a view of the dune landscape.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:

style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Matter</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The emergence of the archetypal character of the intervention is manifested in the morphology of the new shape, which highlights the double-pitched roof and a certain compact terminals in the two fronts – but mitigating these formal features in the central, predominantly horizontal.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img

large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The material used for the exterior, a travertine marble, helps to read the morphology of the building as a result of an ideal unit mass made of different sediments, giving further color consonance with the surrounding landscape.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img

large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The limited range of materials – travertine marble cladding also present in the interior, plaster, teak

The towers would reconnect Greenwich and Washington streets, acting as an east-west public way aligned with the primary north Manhattan street grid which is directly on the 5th Avenue axis. Double entrance lobbies located on the sides of the passageway open to the public. Twisting upwards, the passageway soars and pinches at the middle to allow for larger floor plates, settling at a civic space and rooftop sky lobby.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">An interplay of scale and function serves the local neighborhood while also contributing to the public realm in lower Manhattan. The towers’ grand scale and form reflects its synonymous identity among other civic, cultural, and commercial landmarks found on 5th Avenue. The programmatic mixture marries certain spaces for living, working, art, performance, retail, and a branch public library through light arrangements at different orientations. A <a href="http://www.evolo.us/architecture/liquid-building-is-a-self-sufficient-atrium-house-in-barcelona-mohsen-marizad/">central atrium</a>, or sky void, organizes the majority of the tower, channeling daylight from above via an integrated light-transmitting fiber optic array. The atrium also houses bio-filtration terrariums which act as the building’s lungs to occupy hollow spaces within the floors, providing clean air for its residents and public. The light-flow is reversed at night, as the fiber optic array is lit from integrated solar charged battery packs. A seamless design, The Edgar Street Towers blend right into Lower Manhattan’s grid of civic landmarks, enhancing public life through connection and engagement.</span></div><div style="text-align:

style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">“The Villa is situated in Vale do Lobo, a luxury golf and beach resort in Southern Portugal.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The plot is an end plot surrounded by golf, greenery and a small lake. Due to the location we have purposely opted not to create a clear boundary between plot and surroundings, rather using the actual building to create the distinction between public and private spaces.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The villa has been developed in a U shape around a central courtyard space helping to create a sense of scale and containment within the open surroundings. Within this courtyard we have created a suspended pool which becomes the main visual focal point of the villa. Being the main visual focus, we have opted for the creation of the pool as a sculptural element, while still serving the function as the main pool.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The suspended aspect of the pool permits the flow of the courtyard beyond the pool, thereby not containing the space. This upper main pool cascades down into a lower reflecting pool that can also be used as a children’s splash pool. The sound of the running water creates a very calm and relaxing environment. This lower reflecting pool in turn “visually” cascades down into the indoor pool situated within the home spa area. The continuation of the use of the black mosaic through into the home spa helps to strengthen this concept.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The outer perimeter of the main building volume has been demarcated with continuous repetitive vertical walls, almost like a fortress, establishing a clear barrier between public and private. The spaces facing into the courtyard on the other hand offer maximum transparency, minimizing the barrier between indoor and outdoor spaces. In order to strengthen the indoor and outdoor interconnection we have continued the same floor level through to the exterior with sliding doors that slide back fully with no distinct threshold between indoor and outdoor, extending the living spaces to the outdoor.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The main living spaces of the villa have been developed in an L shape plaster and painted white volume, with one wing dedicated to the 5 bedrooms and the other wing dedicated to the main living spaces. The single storey living space sits at an intermediate level between the 2 storey bedroom wing meaning easy access to the main living space from all bedrooms.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This main living volume projects out to the south in the form of a suspended glass cube in which we have placed a sitting area (snug) with fireplace opening onto the views of both the lake and the golf course. The roof of this volume serves as a roof terrace with mini-pool, outdoor living space and BBQ area for evening entertainment. The semi buried basement space houses the main indoor entertainment areas of the villa, such as games room, home cinema and home spa, as well as the double garage and service areas. The home spa faced in the black mosaics at the end of the volume create the sense of an infinite space.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The villa is a continuous play of solids versus transparency, which ultimately create a very interesting play of light versus shadow. In terms of materials we have tried to accentuate this play of solid versus void, by accentuating planes with the use of wood paneling both internally and externally, in which the doors etc have been hidden in order not to break up the sense of volume or plane. For the flooring we have worked with a grey sandstone which is a very homogeneous stone which helps create the feeling of a block of stone that has been carved, minimizing the legibility of the joints etc.”</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209944279442132765.post-73061541307461849022012-10-11T06:36:00.000-07:002012-10-13T20:14:58.720-07:00Junta Castilla León by Alberto Campo Baeza <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora08dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora06dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora07dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora04dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora03dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora02dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora05dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Zamora01dailyicon.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We raise high stone walls built of the same stone as the Zamora Cathedral, that follow the outline of the site, like a box open to the sky. We thus achieve a secret garden in which we conserve and plant leafy trees, aromatic plants and flowers. And we open openings in these stone walls that frame, from within, the cathedral, the landscape and the surrounding buildings. And in this verdant garden we build a transparent glass box that makes it seem as if one is working within the garden.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the stone wall, qualities and dimensions were studied to express the strength of the stone in the same way as it is in the Cathedral. The same stone in large dimensions and with great thickness that accentuate the strength of the proposal. For the building itself, a glazed and perfectly controlled facade was conceived, with maximum simplicity in its construction system. The facade works actively in regard to the climate, able to hold in heat in the winter (Greenhouse effect) and at the same time to expel the heat and protect the building in the summer (Ventilated facade). It is a stone box open to the sky that holds a crystalline box and protects it and tempers it, immersed in the midst of a wonderful garden.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Offices for Junta de Castilla y León, Zamora, Spain, by <a href="http://www.campobaeza.com/">Alberto Campo Baeza</a>, In collaboration with Pablo Feméndez Lorenzo, Pablo Fledondo Diez, Alfonso Gonzalez Gaisan and Francisco Blanco Velasco</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209944279442132765.post-1999239017686210632012-10-11T04:29:00.000-07:002012-10-13T20:14:58.814-07:00New Kyoto Town House / Alphaville Architects <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/04/dzn_New-Kyoto-Town-House-by-ALPHAville-3.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Faceted wooden panels divide the interior of this house in Kyoto, Japan, by architects <a href="http://a-ville.net/">ALPHAville</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/04/dzn_New-Kyoto-Town-House-by-ALPHAville-4.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The steel structure allows for an open interior where all floors are visually linked.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/04/dzn_New-Kyoto-Town-House-by-ALPHAville-5.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/04/dzn_New-Kyoto-Town-House-by-ALPHAville-8.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Photographs are by Kei Sugino and K Takeguchi.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The information that follows is from the architects:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">New Kyoto Town House</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The most characteristic feature of this house is the polyhedral form of the partition walls.

We were asked to envision a new train station for Vienna, one that would either modify or replace the existing Westbahnhof train station.<br />I chose to keep the existing building, but to contaminate it with structures that would express a complexity that now is missing. My intervention was inspired both from Nature and Culture, and beyond its polemical characteristics it does intend to bring back what in science is called: Spontaneous Order.<br />This is not disorder in the common sense, although it could have this appearance.<br />It is, evidently, a reaction against excessive rationalism and rationalizations. Yes, it is excessive, but essentially it tries nothing else but to bring the complexities present in Nature into the urban fabric.<br />In a way my “project” is not really a “project,” since I let what I envisioned come into being “naturally,” almost by itself, expressing not only outer realities, but also inner ones.<br />We could say that maybe this is an Epimethean work, as opposed to being Promethean, that is, a work in which thought comes afterwards… so the relationship between cause and effect is circular, not linear…<br />All in all this is an architectural meditation on Time as well, since the structures I envisioned do reflect metamorphosis, the passage of Time, change, ephemerality and even decay… themes, again, neglected by conventional architectures.<br />If chaos is deprived of its negative connotations maybe we will have again the chance to reach the positive aspects of what is called “spontaneous order.”"</span></i></blockquote><div style="text-align:

Contemporary Art Cleveland by Farshid Moussavi<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">This six-sided building covered in mirrors is the new home for the <a href="http://mocacleveland.org/">Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland</a> in Ohio by London-based architect <a href="http://www.farshidmoussavi.com/">Farshid Moussavi</a> (+ slideshow).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi1a_sq.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The four-storey building, which opened this weekend, features faceted walls clad in mirrored black stainless steel and replaces the museum’s former address in the loft of an old playhouse complex.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_3.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Visitors to the museum arrive inside a full-height atrium, where the structure of the walls is left exposed and the surfaces have been painted bright blue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_10.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">White staircases lead up to galleries on each of the floors, including a large top floor exhibition space where the ceiling is coloured with the same blue paint as the walls to offer an alternative to the standard ‘white-cube’ gallery.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Located at the intersection of two major avenues, the museum faces onto a new public square by landscape architects <a href="http://www.fieldoperations.net/">James Corner Field Operations</a> and has entrances on four of its elevations for flexibility between different exhibitions and events.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_8.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland is a non-collecting museum, it places extra emphasis on public programmes and events, which will take place inside a double-height multi-purpose space on the building’s ground floor.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_9.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Farshid Moussavi Architecture completed the project in collaboration with architects <a href="http://wrldesign.com/">Westlake Reed Leskosky</a>, who are based in Cleveland.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_5.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The museum first unveiled the designs for the building back in 2010.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_4.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Photography is by <a href="http://www.deankaufman.com/">Dean Kaufman</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here’s some more information from the architect’s website:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">MOCA is a 34,000 sq. ft. non-collecting museum in the emerging Uptown district of Cleveland’s University Circle neighbourhood. Located on the corner of a triangular site at the junction of two major roads, the building will act as a beacon for this area of the city.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_6.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The new MOCA is arranged as a multi-storey building in order to produce a compact envelope and optimal environmental performance, and to liberate space for a museum plaza. The building in this location is exposed on all sides and has multiple entrances which will bring the museum added flexibility. Its prismatic form is clad in mirror black stainless steel panels which are arranged along a diagonal grid to follow the diagonal load bearing structure of the external envelope. These reflective panels will respond to weather changes and movement around the museum, providing visitors with constantly changing perceptions.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2012/10/dezeen_Museum-of-Contemporary-Art-by-Moussavi_7.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Upon entering the building, visitors will find the structure left exposed on the interior face of the envelope and treated with a fire-resistant, intense blue paint. The museum’s public and “back of house” activities will be interspersed along the section of the building and accessed physically and visually by a grand stair which ascends the museum’s vertical atrium. Each floor is designed to host a variety of configurations for maximum flexibility, with the blue inner surface which envelopes the different spaces providing a consistency across the various museum events. In the main gallery on the top floor, the blue surface will rise to form a deep blue ceiling, evoking the sky or a sense of boundlessness in contrast to the traditional idea of the gallery as a white, sealed, cube.</div></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209944279442132765.post-84428000247248037462012-10-10T08:06:00.000-07:002012-10-13T20:14:59.117-07:00Renzo Piano is not an architect <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://ad009cdnb.archdaily.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1349819783-1347594487-event4-528x350.jpg" /></span><br />© Renzo Piano Building Workshop </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, according to the UK’s Architects Registration Board (ARB) he isn’t. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last week, BDOnline received an email from the ARB asking them to <a href="http://www.bdonline.co.uk/news/arb-says-bd-cannot-call-piano-an-%E2%80%98architect%E2%80%99/5043677.article">refrain</a> from calling Renzo Piano and Daniel Libeskind an architect, since “they are not registered with the ARB they are not entitled to be described as such”. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The statement said: “BD referred to two eminent individuals as architects – neither of whom are on the UK register.

The “Ninety7 @ Siglap” house was designed by <a href="http://www.aamertaher.com/">Aamer Architects</a> and is located in Singapore. The design is said to be inspired by the magnificent views that can be observed from atop Siglap Hill. Here is a short description from the architects: “Master and family room are placed on the third level having the best views. Living and Dining on the second level, connected with external verandahs / terraces that flow upwards and fold into the roof form with deep overhangs for sufficient shade and channeling the breeze through the whole house. Two resort style ‘Cabana’ bedrooms are located on the ground level by the pool with a large open/covered terrace for poolside parties. A sculptural metal ‘drum’ anchors the ‘ship’ to the ground and houses the toilet/shower and barbeque pantry. Roof gardens and timber decks provide added insulation from the sun”. How do you appreciate the overall design of this crib?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span

Entitled Gue(ho)st House, the new structure (part of a property belonging to the <a href="http://www.cac-synagoguedelme.org/">Centre d’art Contemporain-La Synagogue de Delme</a>) serves as a gallery, studio and event space. The unusual name of the futuristic project was inspired by artist Marcel Duchamp’s wordplay project: A Guest + A Host = A Ghost and pays tribute to the prior functions of the building- prison, school and funeral home.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-3.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The two designers revamped the existing structure by employing thick white layers of polystyrene, resulting in original exterior walls, with seemingly liquid features. With the objective of creating “a veritable architectural phantasmagoria”, the artists envisioned a project in tune with modern trends, yet exuding a strong personality. Different and surprising no matter what the standpoint, the new studio/exhibition space will probably soon become an interesting exhibit itself for tourists across France. How would you comment on its architecture?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-4.jpg" /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-5.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-2.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-6.jpg" /><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-8.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/guehost-house-7.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Freshome.com - Interior design ideas, home decorating photos and pictures, home design, and contemporary world architecture new for your inspiration." src="http://cdn.freshome.com/wp-content/themes/freshome-v3/img/logo.png" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
