Catlin Stothers Design — Interior Designer. BGT Partners Headquarters by ADD Inc Miami. The Miami, Florida-based interactive marketing firm of BGT Partners is now located in a brand new 30,000 square foot loft-like space that has zero cubicles. Instead they opt for collaborative spaces. Who wouldn’t be happy about that? The ADD Inc Miami-designed industrial-type space features polished concrete floors, exposed high ceilings, and raw plywood throughout.

You’ll find no right angles and with every space being unique, you can tell they are in the business of creativity. They have the “world’s largest” dry-erase board that’s used for brainstorming and it spans 30′ x 15′. The company has even been voted one of the Best Places to Work by Advertising Age and you can definitely see why. Photos by Chuck Wilkins. Doorlenz :: introducing customized doors by Craft-Modern.

The last project I featured by SINGLE speed DESIGN was an amazing modern remodel. This time they have done a remodel and expansion. I really like that they didn’t change the footprint of the house but just expanded the volume. They were able to open up the second level and let natural light in. Overall I think it is a pretty attractive place. A new second story (photo above) replaced the original dilapidated one (photo below). Passive solar techniques: A roof overhang blocks high summer sun while allowing low winter sun keeping the thermally massive floor cool in the summer and hot in the winter.

A strategic cut in the ceiling connects the existing ground floor with the new 2nd floor (left). The double height space stack ventilates the house bringing cool air from below and releasing hot air through upper level clerestory windows. Instead of increasing the size of the house, the new upper level is conceived of as 3 pavilions (right). Gpschafer19. Live Modern: North Lake Wenatchee House. If you thought we were over posting log cabins and snow inspiration on the blog being that it’s definitely still summer, you’re wrong. It’s hotter than heck here and we will will the cool weather here any way that we can.

If that involves posting about gorgeous, heat-challenged locations and the awesome architecture they sport, well, we’re happy to do our part. Today’s Live Modern inspiration is the North Lake Wenatchee House. Besides making me jealous I never grew up around a place named “Lake Wenatchee,” you can see how stunning the interior and exterior of this house is as you stand, shivering, looking at it from the cold (if indeed it will ever be cold again). Nestled between some lovely trees, the house made of lots of natural materials definitely doesn’t compete with its surroundings, rather, it complements. The way the thin boards of natural, honey-colored wood are laid on the walls and ceilings of this home by DeForest Architects is real groovy and modern. Images: Architizer.

Le Relais de Roquefereau » Dans un ancien relais de chasse du XIIIème siècle, surplombant une étroite vallée sur les hauts de l'Agenais, une galeriste parisienne s'installe à demeure et partage avec ses hôtes de passage le plaisir d'une halte paisible et nature. ↓ Passez votre souris sur les images et faites apparaître les légendes↓ La campagne vallonnée et verdoyante que domine « Le Relais de Roquefereau ». Façade de l'ancien relais exposée au soleil. À la belle saison, les hôtes peuvent prendre leur petit-déjeuner ou leur dîner (table d’hôtes le soir) sous la pergola en fer forgé (réalisée par le père de Nathalie) et recouverte de glycine blanche et rosier grimpant face à un coucher de soleil sur la plaine d’Agenais.Sur la route des bastides et des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, le charme de la belle cité médiévale de Penne-d’Agenais avec ses ruelles pentues et sa vue dominante sur la Vallée du Lot ne peut qu’enchanter le voyageur.

While we love a sleek modern home, we tend (personally, for this blogger anyway) to really appreciate eclectic styles and the modern solutions that people and designers come up with when they are faces with two styles. There could be two styles because of two personalities of people sharing a home, or, in this case, when the home’s inherent style is very strong and quite a bit different than the home owner’s. We’ve seen rustic/modern attempted before, but never quite as stunning as this interior renovation of a home in Space by Anne Girod.

This house has mountains of character — huge wooden beams and trusses, stone walls, earthy materials and touchable textures. The designer did the house justice by leaving a lot of that character visible, choosing to only perhaps lighten up a few, clean or brighten up parts. Images: 1 Kind Design. Decoraçao e arquitetura. Chimecco Kinetic Sculpture. Chimecco is an interactive instrument and kinetic sculpture by artist, architect, and designer Mark Nixon, which was recently exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea in Aarhus Denmark. Made from 600 50mm diameter gold anodized aluminium pipes ranging in length from 120 mm up to 3750mm, the pipes are attached to the underside of a bridge, creating a sort of instrument that resembles a giant insect. On the top of the bridge are interactive nodes that allow people to “play” it. The instrument is completed by the combined interactions of human and natural movement, but it can never be experienced in its totality.

According to Mark, the design is based on the idea of music and interaction as a catalyst for conversation and play. Also, the idea that the “hidden” sculpture could, in fact, remain hidden unless the wind were to blog a certain way, revealing itself to the listener. Or, perhaps a passrby would walk right over it, not even knowing it was there. Live Modern: Oreson House. Maybe it’s the red-hot, sweltering heat we’re starting to feel where we’re located, but we needed to look at a home and some interiors that would bring us some sweet heat relief. We bet whatever the temperature is outside, this home is sure to cool off its inhabitants and guests. Located in a suburb of a Sapporo city in Japan, it definitely is a starkly modern home without a lot of color, sure to soothe the soul and fan you off with cool modernism.
