All these considerations and others mentioned previously allowed the home to achieve an energy class A status.

Designed by Sarasota architect Guy Peterson, this American resort-town residence hides some very interesting architectural concepts behind its imposing facade. With a design calling for one of the largest and more eye-catching homes in the area, the need for measures to protects residents’ privacy was clear. At the same time, those residents wished to be as connected as possible to the tropical air and plant life. The result of those seemingly opposite requirements is a home with many layers and innovations. The first-floor outer wall of the house actually functions as a buffer, hiding within it more outdoor space before reaching the building itself, and many of that building’s passageways are actually outside, set in ceilingless corridors and open-air transit areas. In the middle of the property, a huge three-story structure contains most of the true interior of the dwelling as well as even more outdoor space.

Architect Christopher Simmonds has recently completed a single family home in Quebec, Canada. This modern house, set into the dense foliage of the hills north of Ottawa, is designed to encourage the forested surroundings and natural light to subtly permeate the interiors through large expanses of glass. On the exterior, the use of reclaimed wood on the second level provides a textural balance to the white cement board and glass of the ground floor. A rustic modern language continues on the interior, with hand-scraped oak floors throughout and hand-forged handles and pulls set against white lacquer.

Located in the coastal community of Upper Kingsbur and just 15 minutes from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia – a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 1700sqft Canadian home was built by renowned architect Brian Mackay-Lyons. The interior volume of this serene retreat is wrapped in warm poplar hardwood and features a long living zone with vast vistas of the surrounding landscape. With the natural variations in the poplar creating an organic pattern of linear motion broken only by the lengths of windows and the fireplace surround, this living zone is a study of still movement similar to the flickering of a fireplace or the soft motion of a water fountain. The poplar offers a relaxing visual statement – perfect for those wishing to unwind from the stress of urban life.

MU Architecture have completed a two storey apartment located above a restaurant in Montreal, Canada. This residential project has been specially designed by MU Architecture to be in harmony with the style of the original red brick worker’s residence. The building required a significant structural intervention in the basement to straighten the skewed frame and support the new mezzanine. In addition, the ventilation system of the restaurant had to pass through the floor and occupy much of the existing roof. Therefore, it was necessary to carefully conceal the shaft within the volume of the new addition.

Jennifer Weiss Architecture have completed the interior renovation of the Moraga Residence, located in California. This interior architectural remodel transformed an existing awkward, dark, ranch house into a modern, light and view filled space – with a limited budget. With strategic moves, the interior architecture was transformed.

The plan was rationalized: the kitchen was almost tripled in size; the plan was made efficient; an entry way was gained by creatively modifying a hallway; relocating the laundry area created room for a new office, created privacy for the powder room, and allowed for a much needed storage wall for the children.

La Suite Sans Cravate is a chic hotel located in Bruges, Belgium. Work on the property was completed in 2013, done by the hand of Véronique Bogaert. La Suite Sans Cravate is located in Bruges, Belgium, and is the creative vision of Veronique Bogaert. Each and every room Veronique has designed within this fabulous La Suite Sans Cravate is an ode to playful contrasts. Here, the oversized and delicate bird illustration on the headboard wall softens up the heavy, oversized rough-hewn beams that criss cross the room. A low king sized bed projects outward from the wall with the bird appearing to perch on the headboard. The amber toned wing of the song bird is repeated on the area rug beneath the bed. Two clean lined casual chairs face into a circle of rustic red with an elliptical mid-century table splaying its legs outward on it while a large bank of windows tips inward for a flood of natural light.

Even the hallways are a study of rough and rustic juxtaposed against smooth and contemporary. Adding to the rough and rustic is the uneven texture of the stone tiled floor.

the chunky legs to the tables are a modern touch as is the moon outline of the tabletop. These tables are designed for two people to sit side by side rather then the usual across from each other.

This renovation of a private home located in Montecarlo, Monaco was carried out by Federico Delrosso Architects. It was completed in 2012 and covers an area of 2,150 square feet.

“A large flat on the 14th floor of a 1960s building and a family of four who love art and contemporary design. In his renovation, Federico Delrosso aimed to create a space simulating emptiness, in order to create the ideal setting for the passions and daily life of a family. It is functional emptiness, however, which comes to life when the study desk, kitchen appliances, make-up area and a bookshelf emerge from the cupboard walls… and returns to silence to become the perfect ambience for works of art and design.

“Only the outer walls and external window frames have remained of the original flat”, says Federico Delrosso. After completely eliminating the original partitions of the space, I created new volumes and diversified the different areas of the flat using a continuous system of cupboards into which, not only the functional volumes have been built, but also the floor‑to‑ceiling doors used to access the various rooms. Meanwhile, the audio and lighting systems have been built into the ceiling”.

Bohemian Rhapsody

by Gabrielle

 

We’ve all been there – decorating is expensive. But with the right resources, there are ways to make it less so. In this series, I will attempt to show you how items similar in style can be wildly different in price. Sometimes it’s worth the splurge and sometimes, it’s worth digging to find a nice equivalent. - Gabrielle, Savvy Home

Boho chic is one of those styles that comes and goes but always seems to stay the same: this is because the style has been highlighting the same vintage and ethnic staples for decades: indian textiles, moroccan poufs and rugs, european iron furniture and paper lanterns just to name a few. It’s an especially great style to use in a country house because it’s unfussy and timeless.

Cindy Sherman understood that concept when she decorated her 19th-century farmhouse in the Hamptons with the help of designer Billy Cotton. Though her decor would easily range in the high column, bohemian-luxe is a style that can easily be reproduced on any budget. If you had to re-create the look, where would you splurge and where would you save?
