Lovelli Residence by World of Mouth. By Eric • Feb 3, 2012 • Selected Work Bali-based studio Word of Mouth has designed the Lovelli Residence project. This 3,230 square foot two story contemporary home is located in Seminyak, a mixed tourist and residential area on the west coast of Bali just north of Kuta and Legian.
Lovelli Residence by World of Mouth: “The brief to Architect Valentina Audrito and her team at Word of Mouth was very clear: create a fun, unique space in which the client, an Italian socialite/jewellery designer, could live and entertain. Set on only 300sqm of land in the trendy area of Seminyak, Bali, the site presented challenges not only in terms of its limited size but also its east orientation. The design solution therefore required a creative use of the space, where different functions could harmoniously overlap and interact with each other – the dining area also becomes a lounge, the living zone flows seamlessly into the pool area, and each bedroom functions also as a living space.
20+ Beautiful Modern Staircases. We’re constantly running across photos of truly jaw dropping staircases. So much of the time, stairs look as if they were ignored until the last minute of the design process, but not in these cases. Check out some of our favorite staircasess that we’ve come across: Let’s start out with a staircase we’ve talked about before: Ribbon Stairs. Designed by HŠH Architects to mimic a delicate rippling ribbon, these stairs are beautiful but maybe a little scary to run up and down when you’re in a hurry. Italian company 14 Ora Italiana has a collection of wood grain porcelain tiles that were inspired by the works of Andy Warhol.

The Grove Park project from Bell Phillips Architects features a staircase that is “created from a complex geometry of folded triangular facets which appear to float effortlessly within the space.” Photo by Christopher Duff Photo by Daici Ano.
Harmonious modern residence in South Africa. This beautiful and original modern home is designed by Werner van der Meulen architects and located in South Africa. The floor to ceiling windows allow an unobstructed interior-exterior connection.The wooden grid encountered at the windows and eaves acts as blends and sets the tone to the composition. Another focus element is water, found here and there throughout the layout, be it in the pool or the waterfalls decorating the small oases around the house. The house is a clear blend of simple volumes complemented by flawless lighting and natural elements. What intrigues is the porch passage over the pool, the elegant dining area extended in the vicinity of the pool and the terrace, decorated with a rough and abstract steel sculpture. Opulent spa residence in South Africa. The incredible Joc House in Johannesburg, South Africa is one of those ridiculously vast and luxurious spa homes that make a resort vacation obsolete.
Designed by Nico Van der Meulen architects, this , believe it or not, 2 floor residence features a stunning open entrance layout that makes the inside spaces seem like outdoor spaces or terraces. The inside pool, prolonged outside, contributes to this impression, as does the stunning 2 story height living room. The choice of materials is minimalist to brutalist, with marble and strip stone on the inside and a gigantic, very arguable freestanding concrete frame the size of the whole structure, on the front terrace and attached to the residence by 2 beams. Aside from looking massive and even science-fiction-utopia/dystopia-like, this kind of concrete frame is the architects’ trademark. Urban Cabin by Fábio Galeazzo.

Motivos florais estão longe de ser uma novidade em matéria de papéis de parede, mas a designer sueca Camilla Diedrich descobriu uma forma de inovar: em uma homenagem ao músico americano, que perdeu a visão durante a infância, sua linha "Nature Ray Charles" traz luz para a decoração de paredes. O diferencial fica por contas das fibras óticas, utilizadas por ela para tecer delicados arranjos de linhas resplandecentes, com um resultado é belíssimo. Disponíveis em diversas cores como ouro, bronze, verde, azul e framboesa, os papéis de parede vêm em rolos de 135 cm x 260 cm que podem ser aplicados repetidamente conforme a área desejada. A designer tem um talento especial para transformar superfícies planas em formas tridimensionais ricamente texturizadas.
Nascida em Estocolmo, Camila freqüentou a University College of Arts Crafts & Design e completou seu Mestrado em Belas-Artes, desenvolvendo produtos que vão de papéis de parede a luminárias.

Completed in 2010, the 12 feet by 82 feet home is located in Barcelona, Spain. Family House in Barcelona by Ferrolan LAB: “The house is situated in the heart of an old town district in Barcelona.
The urban grid of the area is characterized by small, narrow and long plots. This house is probably situated in one of the narrowest spaces around the neighborhood, as it measures only 3,7m wide. The plot is very long and connects two streets. The dimensions of the plot (3.7 m wide x 25m long), its location (between neighbouring walls) and its orientation (N-S) dictated the development of this housing. Our proposed architecture attempts to take these shortcomings and try to turn them into positives. In addition, because of the pre-existing features, we decided to explore developing the house vertically, putting in different floors to meet the different needs of our project. At ground floor, a garage and a cinema. Wall decor | modern decor | home decor | wall accents | wall panels | modern art - nova68 modern design.
