Dream Interiors in New South Wales

The interiors are really impressive; even though sometimes you will have the feeling that too many things fit in one room, at a closer look you will see how everything is in its right place and how the overall style that characterizes the house is not affected in any way. The building houses two bedrooms on the second level, with the possibility of a third one a dressing room that can be converted in a very spacious sleeping room. The bathroom is very luxurious and the CaesarStone kitchen has first class appliances. {via}

Evans Private Residence near L.A- Glamour and Style

From bittonidesignstudio (architects Mark Bittoni, Ross Jeffries and Salomé Reeves), this project is actually a remodel of a private residence located in Crestwood Hills, near Los Angeles. Behind the remake stood the idea of “taking something modern and making it more contemporary”. 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. {via}

Home In The Middle of Nature

This lovely estate was designed by Dutch architects Sluijmer & Van Leeuwen and is currently owned by the Utrecht Landscape Foundation. 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! {via}

House with Enclosed Internal Garden

Designed by Wallflower Architecture + Design this truly unique house occupied 855 square meters space on a 1200 square meter site. The house is located in Singapore and has plenty unusual ideas implemented in its design. The best one among these things is an internal garden. Thanks to column-free vistas the garden connects all public spaces like the entrance, dining areas, swimming pool and formal living area. The private spaces in contrary are hidden from visitor’s eyes. All the courtyards have different material finishes. That helps to maintain temperature difference between courtyards, the living, dining and pool. That difference helps to catch breezes that move around the house. {via}
