Close to Nature Concept Home Ideas – Fish House by Guz Architects
Ultra-contemporary futuristic Luxury Villa
The ultra-contemporary Capital Hill Residence by Zaha Hadid is a modern, private villa of concrete, steel and glass that uses its unique location to carry out this one-of-a-kind, futuristic design. Set on a steep slope in Barvikha, Russia, overlooking the hillside dotted with dachas and lush forest, the architect created a modern layout that would stand out among its surroundings, incorporating a ground-level living area that follows the landscape; and a second volume of space floating 72 ft. in the sky. Inside, the living quarters are divided into a foursome of functional spaces – a basement devoted to leisure and luxury that includes a den, fitness area, massage space and sauna; a ground floor housing the living and dining room, kitchen, indoor swimming pool and integrated parking; the first-floor lobby, library, guest room and bedrooms; and the master bedroom, a lounge and outdoor terrace located on the top level. The Capital Hill luxury villa is due for completion in 2010

The process calls for active indeterminate modules that organically emerge, morph and propagate while aligned with a set of programmatic parameters to negotiate formal and spatial results,” according to the architects.

Beautiful Modern Style Bedrooms Design
The Golf furniture collection from Italian design house Colombini has some spectacular modern themed bedroom designs. After gazing at these images you can’t but feel a sense of respect for the designers behind these gorgeous bedrooms. The colors have been blended to perfection, the placement meticulous, and there is a true sense of completeness in each one of them. The only down point, if at all, is that most of them still assume you have acres of space to play around with in your room. If only our rooms were as big as the ones they show in brochures!
Modern Scandinavian Living Room Entertainment Setups
Remember that swedish home we featured a couple of days back at HD? It seems there is plenty more from where that came from. Minhembio is a Swedish forum where lots of tech savvy design enthusiasts post their living room setups. Most of them are loaded with audio video entertainment units and they give us an interesting perspective on living room entertainment setups of the Swedes.
The brilliant color combination of the child bedroom
Designing a child’s bedroom can be very challenging considering the fast pace in which kids are growing up these days.
