Riverfront Home Plan with a Modern Lofty Interior

Bates Masi Architects created this modern, contemporary riverfront home in Noyack, NY, bringing new, natural luxury to the term “casual.” Designed for an actor with rest and relaxation in mind, this home plan “became a study in architectural theatre: a series of spaces in a carefully scripted sequence that subtly reflect his professional life,” explains the architect. A simple, modern facade makes way for gorgeous, light-filled interiors. Expansive windows boast views of the riverfront and gardens, and are covered by perforated privacy screens which slide opened or closed. The architect had some great loft design ideas, with a main living area overlooked by upstairs living spaces. Note the cool wood floor planks, which change direction to demarcate the kitchen, living and dining areas of this open concept house plan. A bold staircase along a glass wall leads up to the second floor, where a master bedroom is connected to the ensuite via a bridge overlooking the downstairs living spaces. Bates Masi Architects.

Exotic House in Brazil by Isay Weinfeld

Isay Weinfeld is an architect from Sao Paulo, Brazil. You will find a large variety of projects on the company’s website, starting from items of furniture to state-of-the-art architecture. Today we will focus on the latter. Iporanga House is as exotic in look as it is due to its location. Probably the first thing that one notices when looking at the pictures is the beautiful palm trees. And this residence really fits great in this kind of environment. A beatiful and inviting pool then catches our eyes briefly only to redirect them towards the exotic house near by. A wide open space filled with cosy and unusual chairs is a strong feature of this place, guaranteeing peaceful evenings in a great natural environment. Every room is somehow connected to nature by large windows and beautiful views. We will let you discover the rest and tell us what you think.
