New Kitchen Home Design Photos

Sometimes referred to as the heart of the home, the kitchen is a place to prepare and cook food and, depending on the size, can be used to eat and entertain guests. In Ancient Greek homes, this room was a central open air patio but it was not until around 1800 that the stove, which enclosed fire completely, made cooking indoors possible.

As technology advances, so do kitchens' design and efficiency. The introduction of the kitchen island has lent more flexibility to the positioning of the kitchen cabinets and kitchen sink, and helped make open plan kitchens and dining rooms a reality.

Roof Outdoor Pools, a Cool Architecture Ideas

Global Architectural Development have recently come up with an architecture design that left us speechless. Located in Bodrum, Turkey, an important tourist attraction during the summer season, this amazing home comes with two original surprises. Most residences stick to a common roof built out of tiles, shingles and so on. Not this particular home, though. Instead of a regular house covering architecture plan, the team over at GAD decided that they should cover the house with pools that collect rain water. This unusual residence has three distinct buildings that are connected through a glass atrium. The exterior is unique in shape and style. The rooms are all light and airy and the roof water keeps the house cool during the summer.

Luxury Khyber Ridge Residence Design by Studio NminusOne

NminusOne may not be the most innovative name for a design office, but the creativity of the architects definitely got us sold. Commissioned for Marc Morisset— a professional snowboarder, the five storey house is built like a shredder following the line of a steep mountain. Perfectly blending with the green environment, the Khyber Ridge Residence adds a tinge of “floating” and a bunch of unconventional details that get the eye. And although it looks old and worn, the interior is all about contemporary shapes and elegant furnishings, for more warmth (maybe during winter?). That’s nothing short of cool.

Fascinating Greek Home in New York, a Living Art Museum Dsign

How do you like quality design mixtures? These fascinating interiors belong to an 1840’s Greek Home located in New York’s Greenwich Village, USA. The company in charge with the rehabilitation was Axis Mundi, a creative design firm whose portfolio we enjoyed checking out. The challenge was to redesign the place while still preserving its historical style. Another important aspect was the fact that Axis Mundi had to come up with a suitable decor to house the owner’s impressive art collection. Famous paintings belonging to Warhol, Haring and Basquiat were given a proper exhibition environment. The place also features surreal furniture elements from famous artists such as Salvador Dali and Antonio Gaudi. Did we manage to get your attention?

Luxury Elegant Bedroom Collections From Gautier

Gautier is a design company founded in 1958. We found some really nice bedroom arrangements on their site which we hope will give you fresh decorating ideas. Most of them are simple, sober and elegant, with wooden furniture and stylish carpets to go with it. The color mix goes from mild to fresh, but the overall effect is always pleasing. You will rarely see strong colors – the green and red pillows are an exception, but with a lovely effect. Flowers and paintings make the interiors lively and also help personalizing every room. Small details and decorative items such as bottles and tea cups really manage to make a difference. We also like the floor lamps and the night stands. Enjoy!

Part of the roof, finished in stainless steel, creating overhangs to provide shade in the southern summer, and facilitate solar passive solar gain from the low-road in the winter months. The main heating is via an air source heat pump twin with under floor heating system, reducing the like-for-like energy use by 40%. A wood stove with own source of fresh air directly from outside, to prevent drafts drawn through the house, providing an additional heater and focus.
