A SUPER COOL PENTHOUSE, A HOUSE IN CADIZ SPAIN AND A VACATION HOME ON LAKE SUPERIOR

TODAY I AM WRITTING ABOUT THREE VERY MODERN HOMES. ONE LOCATED IN A PENTHOUSE SUITE, THE SECOND IN CADIZ SPAIN WHICH IS SPECTACULAR, AND THE THIRD IS ON LAKE SUPERIOR, ONE OF THE 5 GREAT LAKES AND THATS A STUNNING HOME AND MY FAVORITE OUT OF THE THREE..

Enjoy the pics and posting.

Interiors: L Residence

As  a general rule, we’re not super into blue in an interior space. That’s a bit harsh…we mean, there are lots of ways in which blue can totally make a space rock, but you really need to have a cool hue. This home, the L Residence, totally gets blue right. And they also get details right. It’s a modern loft space with lots of cool interior additions and rooms and cool wood flooring and modern furniture and more. And is that a Magis Chair One we spot?  By Min | Day. From architizer:
“Located in an Art Deco hotel recently converted for private condominium use, we designed a penthouse apartment with a roof deck overlooking the center of downtown Omaha. For the L-shaped unit we created a set of nested spaces with a grand room that appears as an exterior within the confines of the dense walls. 15-foot ceilings allowed the construction of a cozy mezzanine along the vertical path to the private roof deck above. Primary wood veneered walls hide bedrooms, house utilitarian areas, service functions and bathrooms.”

Live Modern: House in Cadiz

Live Modern: Weekend House on Lake Superior

We’ve always thought good architecture was just as beautiful as art, but all the photos from this home in Cadiz, Spain are so stunning they could easily be seen in an art gallery! Truly, these shots are of an amazing home that is nestled among coastal nature in a surprising way. Modern, clean lines mix with beautiful, random nature and the coloring of all the architecture is such that it both blends and contrasts with the surroundings.
“The house is situated on the occidental edge of the natural park of the Estrecho, on an abrupt hillside, where the landscape value, its orientation and complicated topography are determining factors. Instead of viewing these factors as potential limits we considered them to be incentives for a better solution for the project, helping reinforce the intrinsic singularity of the emplacement, to which service is set this construction.” Designed by Alfonso Alzugaray Arquitecto.




















We’d be much more able to withstand frightful winter weather outside if we lived in a stunning piece of modern architecture like this! It’s hard to tell if the home would be more visible in warmer, more colorful months, but there’s something so slick and camouflaged about how it looks now. Located near, you guessed it, Lake Superior, in Schoeder, Minnesota and designed by Julie Snow Architects. 


“The weekend house is reduced to a few essential elements. The main house and a small studio are arranged on a black platform that rests just above the ground. The two black volumes frame the water of Lake Superior as it extends toward the distant horizon.


The presence of the lake is pervasive throughout the house. A long simple white table runs parallel to the lake. A narrow vertical tower encloses the fireplace. A row of cabinets along the north wall conceals the complexities of daily life. The house provides a serene connection to a beautiful, rugged landscape. Concealed by trees in the summer, the black boxes slip into the winter landscape of black and white tree trunks.”


Three really cool homes,

Avant-Garde moves in and on to regular business...

Avant-Garde Home Furnishings,  finally completely in its home office location.. is moving ahead with plans to open up its Showroom sometime in Mid-March or Early April 2012. Avant-Garde after selling almost 45,000 in December is ready to tackle many of the problems and issues with an opening of any retail location. The only hang-up was Steuben, whose products (90%) shipped fine but approx 10% of them are either still pending, unknown status, or simply no communication from Steuben, a problem hopefully rectified by Monday since a handful of customers are still waiting on orders purchased. This is the reason this company probably went under, customer service was the worst... 

Here are some pics from our new office... 

Well by next year's retail season hopefully we will have many shoppers in our retail establishment which will be located at the Oasis off Biscayne and 79th Street. We have worked very hard ingesting this building ready for a retail store and now it looks absolutely great (pictures in my next posting for all of you to see) with beautiful gardens, walking mini trails, hammocks to sit in, and water features to simply enjoy..

Contemporary House Design with Vineyard In Portugal

fantastic house pool design in vineyard villa

Here’s the contemporary house design with vineyard in Portugal, this house fresh air, far from noise and comfort for living, interior and exterior for this house is modern and contemporary. the buildings are set in a loose and organic structure. The existing topography is subtly adjusted to accommodate the houses and pools, whilst preserving the agrarian character of the landscape.Each villa sits within an autonomous space, the boundaries of which are either visible(such as low walls) or just implied (rows of olive trees, for example). These informal elements are arranged methodically to a shared central space that slopes across the site. Low walls form the boundaries of this shared space, whilst providing, simultaneously, an element of privacy to the houses. Visitor parking is organized around a group of trees and a water tank, whilst an unpretentious pavilion provides a covered space for public activities.

materials and Furnishings unit consists of a column and beam concrete structure, explicit in the facade,in order to reveal their form and materiality. This structure is filled by plastered masonry in a receding manner, in order to give the facade a level of depth. In addition there will be a subtle variation in the external surfaces of each unit: painting on concrete and rendering on brickwork which are simultaneously different and similar.Wooden doors and windows are installed from the inside of the walls around the house, creating deep recesses perceptible from the exterior and providing a bit of shade. A blind system is built in the outer side of the wall lintel, as an additional shielding from the sun.Recesses (entrances, patios and verandas) have walls and ceilings clad in ceramic tiles, in order to create a different ambiance and to provide cool surfaces.In those spaces doors and windows are installed from the exterior of walls, protected under the covers of such spaces.
