two very cool, hip, modern homes...

cool, hip, modern homes...

Sometimes you see homes that are nice but soimetimes you see homes that are so trendy they are actually classified as hip or even cool by most of us.. Of course trends change and that is the reason I like to stick with the overall broad definition of the modern contemporary style of design vs the more trendy movement styles that come and go on a two year cycle it seems..

A modern greek home

Man, these poor, poor home owners. To have to live in such unpleasant-looking, deplorable conditions. And the location! Ugh! I’d rather be anywhere on the planet except here!

Not. Geez this place is AMAZING! Probably not in my personal price range, but it’s for the better, considering it’s not for sale. Who’d sell anything as beautiful as this? Who would ever leave any thing as beautiful as this? If we lived in this house, we’d insist all groceries and other services come to us; we’d never leave these views. Created by the brilliant Konstantinos Kontos. We love how the architecture has a sort of post-modern, Greek architectural look, and how the building was made to serve the landscape. Really modern and stunning.

For such a culture driven traditional area they sure know how to build a very modern residence that can be kept cooled during the day or AC'd for that matter by creating a situation where the sea breeze  just flows through the entire house... 

A very nice home...

Today’s eye candy comes courtesy of another Wyoming-based firm, this time Ward Blake Architects. We just can’t get enough of these rustic, modern houses that are on these giant swaths of land with stunning landscape backdrops. Makes us want to take a trip to Wyoming..and never leave!

A great place to live, breath fresh air, relax, and just let go I am sure.. A stunning home..

Two Very modern homes..

Two Modern Homes:

The following homes definitely stick out to me in the endless homes I see everyday and tal about. Notice the high use of glass in the first one and how bright it makes everything look. I think the lighter earth tone color bamboo flooring is finally coming into its own, and I feel that is the next trend with regards to flooring.. Lighter more earth tone friendly colors and I think we will begin to see less of the dark woods and chocolate colored floors with light earth tone rugs and more of the light bamboo with impact color rugs and shags...

An amazing stunning modern home...

Here is The Minimalist House Design in London’s Notting Hill neighbourhood was designed by Architect Alex Michaelis of Michaelis Boyd Associates.

Absolutely great design throughout and the brightness is key to using the lighter colors.. They do not look or feel good when used in darker homes and as you can see the lighter theme prevails throughout the home inclusing the kitchen cabinets and furniture.. There is very little black or darks of any color and the light earth tone colors are prevalent throughout this entire house... 

Another example of the light 

bamboo flooring...

This is a contemporary house design by Pb Elemental Architecture in Seattle, The Capitol Residence includes 1688 sft of living space, one car garage, driveway, and green space on a small lot centered in Seattle’s Capitol Hill urban community. The house is clad in aluminum paneling, white and black, with Cedar accents. Extensive store-front windows facing the street add a voyeuristic element to the home, giving away intimate views of the master suite and living room floors. Exposed cedar beams on the ceiling and steel-supported stair treads can be seen as well. The stairwell is made of 6” thick Tiger Wood treads. Clerestory windows located near the ceiling line allow light to continuously move through the home.”

Absolutely brilliant outside design and very revolutionary using concrete wood, and what appears to be a black metalic material on the other.. One with huge open room seeing windows that expose the entire room and staircase and the other tat has more private rooms such as the bathroom with high up smaller windows.. Great design, concept and implementation of what I think is a great plan...
