Clearview Residence at Night Natural Ventilation, Day Lighting Modern Large Kitchen Design Bedroom Design - Clearview Residence Bathroom Design - Clearview Residence Some description from Altius Architecture : “Designed for a local artist to enjoy, this residence is located just south of Collingwood, in the heart of the Clearview area. A broad selection of sustainable technologies, including a geothermal lake loop and green house set this project apart from others in the area. The building itself draws inspiration from a number of intimate relationships and views, both through the adjacent woodland, as well as across the nearby pond. The buildings programme is pretty extensive and with the clients desire to maintain the majority of this over one level the design team were particularly aware of the need to integrate the building into its surroundings in a subtle manor. Consequently this quickly became one of our main focuses and thus gave the scheme real direction, as we sought to arrange each space appropriately within the overall layout so to take advantage of the site and its beauty as well as to make sure that the building was as user friendly and functional as possible. Materials The material palette was of particular importance as it was paramount that the building became steeped within its surroundings, and so we chose to pursue a selection of materials that would reflect the nature of adjacent landscape and in particular its seasonally changing colours and textures. True to this we incorporated the ever evolving characteristics of corten steel, the earthy tones of a deep grey/blue 'Cape Cod' pre-finished wood siding, as well as other products like slate and ipe wood decking.

New York Apartment with Modern Interior Design Posted: 26 Mar 2014 12:34 AM PDT This apartment located in New York apartment, Central Park. This apartment has modern interior design. The floor made of plywood, the wall painted in white color. The room completed with sofa, furniture and others thing. According to the trendir.com : Stefan Boublil designed this amazing New York apartment design, perched on the 61st floor on a metropolitan tower overlooking Central Park. The priceless view outside is surpassed only by what you see inside this sprawling home, which is three smaller apartments combined. Built-in and custom furniture really give this home a luxury, custom-tailored feel. The massive wraparound sofa frames the living room, where a walnut library and entertainment center evoke the glorious 1980s – the era when the building was constructed. Perhaps this accounts for the home's authentic feel. Brimming with cool loft design ideas, this apartment is colored by unusual furniture, off-the-wall accessories and vibrant pops of color against the minimalist interiors to draw the eye and invite further exploration. Floor-to-ceiling windows encircle the main living area, providing for endless vistas and conversation. The kitchen and dining area are wrapped in waxed concrete, so they enjoy a totally different, "theatrical" look and feel from the rest of this chic, modernist home.
