The United Kingdom’s Nicolas Tye Architects designed this amazing rustic barn to house conversion in a Bedfordshire village, with rolling hills covered by a blanket of forest as far as the eye can see. With a respect for these natural surroundings, the architect created a look that blends seamlessly with the outdoors while staying true to his own modern and elegant architectural vision. This warm and welcoming rustic style barn-conversion to house features 2,200 sq. ft. of living space, all wrapped in an amazing shell of wood barn board and glass. The unique farmhouse style is enclosed in frameless 3.2m-high glazed panels, bringing the wonderful vies into every room. Nature further makes its way into the glass wall house with the use of natural materials. “Harping back to the adjacent barn building’s history, the new studio utilizes cor-ten detailing, further enhancing the sense of place, reflecting the old and discarded agricultural machinery and steelwork,” according to the architect. To help keep the environment in tact, this barn house includes a number of sustainable technologies, making an eco house design with rainwater recycling, a wind turbine, low-energy lighting, organic paints and non-toxic chemical sealers. Nicolas Tye Architects

This classic contemporary interior design by Pietro Carlo Pellegrini brings new life (and love!) to an old attic of a historic building located in Lucca, Italy. An urban-style living room is occupied by two chic sofas – a regal blue “Mex Cube Sofa” by designer Piero Lissoni and the crisp, white Philippe Starck “Private” sofa – facing the piece de resistance, a black Bisazza mosaic wall dubbed Napoleon, designed by Carlo Dal Bianco. (Love the white Cactus sculpture by Gufram!) Light oak floors and an exposed-beam white-painted ceiling lend the space a Nordic style. Through deceivingly small windows, natural light filters through gauzy white curtains and floods this large space. The kitchen is enclosed behind an ultra-modern folding glass wall. White cabinets line the remaining walls and at the center, a black table-style island provides prep space, a cooktop and eating area. An intriguing blue-lit hallway leads you from the living and dining areas to the bedrooms. The master suite is a dreamy space furnished with a cool, white LIPL bed by Jean Marie Massaud and Cloud end tables by Piero Lissoni. The ensuite bathroom, also a black Bisazza masterpiece, is accessorized by an unusual mirror hovering over a chic Bull stone sink by Antonio Luppi. Inspirations via At Casa

On the island paradise of Majorca, Spain, Casa Son Vida is a luxury villa that’s a little piece of heaven in itself. The modern architecture of the building by tecARCHITECTURE, described by At Casa as a “triumph of straight lines and rounded surfaces,” became a source of ideas for the luxury interiors – a stunning interior design byMarcel Wanders that "mixes old and new, distorts sizes, and enhances the contrast". The signature style of this Dutch designer shines through in every piece of furniture, artfully designed and composed for a dramatic whole.

The Topiary collection is reminiscent of a mushroom in shape, lending these sofas designed for Cappelini and Moooi a modern-natural and whimsical appeal. The New Antiques table by Cappellini is a sculptural centerpiece, complemented by the Couples pillows, designed for B&B Italy and tossed haphazardly in the center of the room.

The dining area is a sophisticated palette of black and grey on a clean, white backdrop. The black chandelier by Baccarat hangs dramatically over the carved table and chairs, created by Wanders for Moooi.

Continuing into a gilded retreat, the floral and gold Bisazza mosaic tiles by Wanders melt into the luxurious white Carrara marble floor. The Dream bed by Poliform, and the Ken stool by Quodes are cool creations by Wanders that elevate this sleeping and bathing area to dream-come-true status.

A second bedroom, also featuring the Dream bed by Poliform finished in Jester fabrics, is accented by Bisazza mosaic tile and the striking Paris mirror, designed by Wanders for Quodes. Rounding out this simple but stylish space are a Moooi carpet, lamps and bedside table.

어렸을 때 한번쯤은 생각했던 네모난 집.......ㅎ
비록 일본에 있는 집이긴 하지만 기회가 되면 일본으로 날아가 실물을 보고싶은 맘이 생기는 디자인이다.
난 언제 저런 집을 지어보남..............에효..에효...
