| Before you Go Shopping for a Home Posted: 26 Apr 2013 12:18 AM PDT There are certain things you should know before you go shopping for a home. I bet most of you, before going shopping for anything slightly more expensive, be it a camera, a laptop or anything else, first ask your friend’s feedback on the equipment they have. I’m sure you also search the internet for reviews, compare prices, look for potential problems, maybe check out different lease options (hopefully you’re not considering an sms loan though..) and a lot more.
However, when it comes to buying a home for ourselves, while we do some market research in terms of prices, locations and the living conditions, that’s often as far as we go. But there’s a lot more to buying a home, and fortunately or unfortunately, you need to be aware of it if you really want to make a smart decision. You need to be aware of different aspects of the process. To help you on that road, Bank of the West has created an educational video series Mortgages In Brief for you. The video series is meant to answer your most common questions (that maybe, you didn’t even know you should be asking). The video series is available on their youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAD6A638FBCC93244 Disclosure: This post was requested by an advertiser.

| Floating Box House in Gerês Portugal by Correia Ragazzi Architects Posted: 25 Apr 2013 05:07 AM PDT
The Gerês house situated in a protected natural area and has for conditions a concrete construction and the preservation of all trees in Caniçada, Vieira do Minho Portugal. This house is the first project by Gracia Correia and her new Italian partner, Roberto Ragazzi. It is a bold statement that hides nothing. The owners, Mica and Eduardo Pinto Ferreira, have been Correia's clients for more than a decade, and gave her carte blanche to create their dream house on the 5,000 square-meter site by the Cevado river – as long as no trees were cut and the 60 square-meter house was made of concrete. The house is located in Peneda-Geras National Park, along the Spanish border in northern Portugal, so the environment and its inviolability were crucial and the rules strict. Inside the simplicity of the structure, the openness of the views and the calm balance of the elements seems to speak the same language as the bleak surroundings. Nature has a way of being beautiful even when it is not, and this house knows that secret.The warmth and proper scale of the building become even clearer when the illuminated house is viewed at night. It may look like it landed from some other planet, but it appears to be right at home now. – Photos by Alberto Placido, Juan Rodrigues & Luis Ferreira Alves.

The new concept of living space design is placed in the attic of an emblematic building of classical early 20th century Madrid by Spanish Architects Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez. This project responds to the assignment by ASCER (Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Azulejos y Pavimentos Cerámicos – Spanish Association of Tile and Ceramic Flooring Manufacturers) for the creation of a new living concept, where the ceramic receives special treatment which turns it into the indisputable protagonist of the space. The ceramic is a material which offers, due to its versatility of application, multiple possibilities in its planimetry.
According to the architect's objective the ceramic thus transforms itself into an excellent dynamic entity able to offer the luxuriousness of working in three dimensions. "Change and continuation", "tradition and innovation" simply unfold with a new angle on the use of ceramic material.
The result is the power to move around in few square meters at different heights, going up and down, offering a new experience of roominess in the context of a home: to explore the space. The transition between the rooms is continuous and lets the movement flow freely across the numerous levels. The spatial flexibility that transforms this home is an innovative housing concept which adapts itself to the actual necessities and to the new usages. Where roominess, brightness and time flow in a multifunctional space without corners or precedence. It is also about expanding the parameters of interior design as well as the conventional trends of arrangement. – Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez The post Interior Design Ceramic House by Héctor Ruiz-Velázquez appeared first on Home & House Design Ideas | Interior. |
