Shimogamo House with Modern Japanese interior setting in Kyoto, Japan

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Built in 2006, this rounded shape house was designed by local architecture firm Edward Suzuki Associates for their client who requesting to create a house which enable the residents to be able to see green from every room and feel a sense of spaciousness inside, so that the architect was asked to select every furniture, furnishing, and equipment including even artwork for its interiors. This Shimogamo House is located in Kyoto-Japan, the facade of the house is masked by a circular screen of frosted glass. Flanking this rather cold, high-tech expression are warm, natural, smoked bamboo louvers to strike a pleasant contrast between the industrialized material. This house is a brief explanation of Interface and a good example of Interface from the traditional Japanese design vocabulary named “Engawa,” which refers to peripheral corridor, of the old-style Japanese house. Engawa is the dual intermediate space between the outside and the inside proper. The perfect plan of the house is comprised of two bedrooms and related water closets on the ground level, a family room and a Japanese room flanking a sunken patio in an L-shape in the basement along with a study, a guestroom, and related sanitary rooms, a one-room style living, dining, and kitchen boasting over a 3-meter high ceiling on the second level, and a pergola-clad moon-gazing terrace up on the rooftop with a panorama of the hills of Kyoto all around.

Eco-Luxury Home interior design by Italian architect Simone Micheli

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Made up of 90% eco compatible materials on its interiors, this Eco-Luxury House was built by Italian architect Simone Micheli for himself and his family in Florence, Italy. It is an authentic hyperrealist portrait of the “Ethical Luxury” which is one of the main focuses of Micheli daily architectural searching. Micheli thought that luxury is doesn’t mean opulence and redundancy but rather the essentials, ethical gestures contents oriented, free spaces with scattered basic elements. It means creating a building without destroying, creating processes having a strong ethical sense and capable of becoming generators of healthy beauty. Micheli Residence is a dynamic, extremely fresh and vivid intervention taking place in an ancient 1800 setting which has converted these spaces laden with memories into a new environment capable of hosting meaninful fragments connected with a fast and unstoppable metropolitan life.

Below is some resume based on the architects description:
The volumetric development of the living room is triggered from the longitudinal axis to meets a counterpoint, a minor transept in correspondance with the kitchen, a snow white sculpture marked exclusively by the partition of the doors which forms a niche in the added body resulting in dilating space in the dimension perpendicular to the windows. The bookcase with an acid green highlight, the mirror furniture and couches, which look as soft as pink clouds, as well as the back wall lend liveliness to the overall architecture. All along this transveral dilatation glass tables for lunch and work are located together with a screen coming down the ceiling which can visually separate the kitchen from the rest of the environment. This informal crystalline, naive, immaculate, antibourgeois, suspended between minimalism and radical chic is torn by ringing and vivid patches of colours. The plaster of the original 1800 walls was stripped off and they were pickled thus forming a philological contrast with the the new smooth walls. The big size enamelled grès porcelain tiles floor are absolute white, they are as bright as the walls, the surreal ecoleather spherical poufs and the kitchen lacquering, the mirror furniture side surfaces and the bases of the stuffed furniture. The lighting featuring built in adjustable spotlights located in the false ceiling and the lamps with very narrow optics underline and enhance the lyric volumetric and cromatic episodes of this composition.

The bedrooms are characterized by extreme whiteness and by essential architectural gestures with the furniture which is composed by few single totemic elements. The double bedroom is suspended between dream and reality where a big blue backlit round mirror flies over the bed like a flying saucer. The bed mattress is supported by a flying carpet which forms the leather upholstered structured headboard with its fold. The white lacquered closet covering the
