London based Archiect Tamir Addadi recently renovated a private house in a posh locality in London by making extensions and alterations to the workspace, the kitchen, the garden and he even lent his creative juices to designing bespoke furniture for the project. What instantly strikes you about the dynamic space is its harmonized interiors which are in perfect tandem with nature and the surrounding greenery. Every room has ample natural lighting which is remarkable given how dull and grey London can be. It is hard to believe that this contemporary and minimalist space was originally a Victorian house!
Says Addadi:
"The main aim of the project was to create a sense of unity between the back garden and the house, allowing nature to play a significant part in the daily activities of the family."

There is nothing remotely geeky about the house designed for an IT entrepreneur by the architects over at Najjar & Najjar. Designed for a self-confessed Mac and Lamborghini fan, this futuristic house is a surrealistic medley of tech, design and luxury. Some of the highlights of the home is the cutting-edge LED lighting and sound systems, the aquarium with computer generated graphics and the expensive plasma television sets.

The Glass Pavilion in Montecito, California has been conceptualized by Steve Hermann with great contemporary chutzpah. Minimalist yet theatrical, the one floor rectangular house features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a very sophisticated wine tasting room and something called an "art balcony". The Glass Pavilion contravenes conventions and also coalesces art and architecture flawlessly.

Whenever the words "a place in the country" are uttered the usual reaction is to think of a large rural house with a long drive leading up to manicured lawns and finely cut hedgerows, of course, that is Jane Austin and this the real world, where most people have to make do. However, making do, does not have to mean going without, take this small country cottage for instance, it is located on the Isle of Wight, which is along the southern coast of England. The building is nothing more than a summerhouse, which is a posh name for a shed. Yet this place has style and feeling, sure, not everyone can have the lakeside location, but the building is within the reach of most people. As for the decor, what grabs the attention is the simplicity of pastel shades and a minimum of furniture that makes the most of the space that is available without overcrowding the limited floor space, it is truly a place in the country, where relaxation is the order of the day.
