Live Modern: The Shadow House

 Modern definitely has to do with fitting in the space you need to live in, in whatever space you have to build a home (even if it’s tiny). That seems to be the case of the Shadow House, a modern home squeezed in between older homes in North London, designed by Liddicoat & Goldhill in 2011. Another awesome element to this house? Their great, great material choices.


Seen best in that photo above with the four different materials showcased, they just made really rich, simple modern material choices that created a layered feeling in the space though there aren’t a lot of furnishings. That mix of plywood and marble in the kitchen is so brilliant. “The Shadow House is a new build private house in Camden, North London. It has won a 2011 RIBA Award, Best small house of the year award at the British Homes Award 2011, received a commendation at the 2011 NLA Awards and was longlisted for the Manser Medal. We carried out the entire project ourselves, from finding the site, through planning, design, construction and manufacture of the fittings, fixtures and furniture.”

Burj Al Arab is the tallest hotel in the world (321 meters or 1,053 ft) and characterizes itself as the world’s only “7-star” property. It was built in 1999 and resembles the sail of a boat.

The hotel cost $650 million to build. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night.

Burj Dubai – the tallest building in the world

The largest and most famous construction project currently taking place in Dubai is of course the Burj Dubai. Opening in 2009, the Burj Dubai is a super duper tall skyscraper set to be the tallest in the world (818 meters or 2,684 ft). Currently it is the tallest man-made structure on Earth but Burj Dubai will not officially gain the title of tallest building in the world until its completion in 2009.

Do you like Valentina, the luxury residence in Miami Beach?

Valentina, a name that inspires quality, refinement, elegance. A perfect  name for this luxury residence in Miami Beach.
Among the beautiful houses in Miami, Valentina is a luxurious house that proves this starting with exterior design ending with interior design. Straight lines, simple design, open spaces, perfect ingredients for an elegant refined residence.
Same style is applied to interior design. Designed under the dictum “simple is more”, interiors are simple with wide open spaces, where light enters through wide windows.
The luxury residence has an exotic look because of the contemporary accessories, put together with nice green palms, a symbol for luxury.
Valentina is a complex, refined lady, with an exotic personality and witu accessories tastefully chosen. That’s the image that creates in my mind when i look at this residence.
