Three very different yet very stunning Homes..
I hope all of you enjoyed the Memorial Day Holiday.. I know I did.. I needed the time off and I simply let go and had a great time all weekend.. I even forgot to post my blogs yesterday which is very unlike me.. Miami was a madhouse as usual with Ebony week on Miami Beach and other smaller gatherings during the weekend. Ft Lauderdale had the annual White festivals, which is also attended by thousands and sees not only many visitors, but many tourist dollars come into the city during the weekend long event.
As I mentioned in my opening following is three examples of very different homes in very different settings, yet they are all stunning and great examples of modern, contemporary homes in very different parts of the world..
Enjoy the pictures..
Here are the modern and fantastic solar house design ideas overlooking to mount Olympus in Nikaia Greece. Modern home in all its aspects, particularly when it comes to interior design.this house design by Christina Zerva Architects. this residence houses state of the art furniture and decorative elements which manage to captivate and astonish. the house consists of two cubic forms, a living and a sleeping area, connected by glass bridge. steel constructions form the skeleton of the object wrapped by prefabricated organic block that act as perfect insulation during warm summers and cold winters typical for this region. interactions of geometrical shapes, huge volumes and transparent surfaces that offer a great view. the floor-to-ceiling height in the main object is 7 meter, with the supporting structure that consists of a steel skeleton reinforced by diagonal element staying visible. photovoltaic solar panel hidden in the roof top provide sustainable electricity for any use. recycled and second hand material have been used for the building, the interior and the exterior is entirely illuminated with led modules, with low energy consumption. we chose steel because of its advantages over concrete. it is light and very strong. the transportation and site handling are easier. components are produced in factory conditions, ensuring accuracy and quality. the main advantage of steel is that it withstands unfavorable weather conditions as well as earthquakes.
