OLIVE YARD VILLA |UNA VILLA TRA GLI ULIVI - 900 M2

domECO

Ispirata alla tipologia a corte del baglio siciliano, la residenza è immersa in un ampio oliveto e si sviluppa su pianta quadrata da 30 x 30 m, con un corpo centrale e due ali simmetriche che racchiudono una corte interna. L’accesso principale alla casa è raggiungibile da un lungo sentiero che attraversa l’oliveto e porta all’ ampio cancello scorrevole, centrale rispetto al prospetto principale e che permette di accedere sia a piedi che in auto. Le due ali simmetriche contengono rispettivamente la zona notte e una zona garage per ospitare auto d’epoca da collezione, mentre il corpo centrale è costituito da un ampio open space per cucina e zona living, che nella zona a destra rispetto all’ingresso è collegata ad un’ala contenente palestra e zona musica. Un’ala simmetrica a questa contiene la camera da letto padronale con zona benessere, bagno turco, bagno e cabina armadio. I due corpi sono separati da un’ampia veranda collegata visivamente e funzionalmente agli spazi della zona giorno, accessibile anche dall’ingresso secondario della proprietà. In asse con questo ambiente è presente uno spazio piscina, immerso nel verde del giardino. La posizione delle ampie vetrate permette una continuità visiva tra tutti gli ambienti della casa, sia interni che esterni, mentre l’uitlizzo di ampie pannellature in brise soleil permette di gestire sia il grado di privacy desiderata che l’irraggiamento solare in ingresso. La distribuzione interna è finalizzata a massimizzare ulteriormente la percezione degli spazi, con lunghi percorsi continui che definiscono gli spazi funzionali e accompagnano lo sguardo verso le aperture sul giardino o sulla corte interna. In contrasto con la semplicità dell’intonaco bianco e delle forme essenziali della facciata, è stata scelta una palette colori naturale, ma intensa, con texture ricche come la pietra d’iseo a pavimento e le venature del noce per la falegnameria. Solo la zona garage, separata da un ampio cristallo dalla zona giorno, presenta una texture di cemento nudo a vista, per creare un piacevole contrasto con la raffinata superficie delle automobili. Inspired by sicilian ‘baglio’, the house is surrounded by a wide olive tree grove and its floorplan is based on 30 x 30 sqm square, the building is shaped like a C figure, with two symmetrical wings embracing a regular inner courtyard. The white simple rectangular main façade is divided by a wide portal that gives access to the house both by car and by foot. The two symmetrical wings above described are designed to contain a garage for collectible luxury vintage cars on the right and the bedrooms on the left. The main central body will contain a wide open space while a protruding small wing on the right will host a cosy gym and music area. The same wing, repeated symmetrically on the right side will host the main bedroom with spa, sauna and changing room. In between the two protruding objects, a wide veranda, accessible also via a secondary entrance, aligns the inner open space with the pool area. The wide windows allow visual connection between all the various spaces, including outdoor ones. The simple color palette and the austerity of the outdoor finishes led to the choosing of richer textures for the indoors such as ‘pietra d’iseo’ and richly veined walnut paneling. The garage area is the only one characterized by a rough naked concrete finish on the walls, in contrast with the shiny polish of the cars’ bodies.

Архитектурная мастерская Мартынова и Гатиловой

В проекте небольшой квартиры площадью 66м2 в старом кирпичном доме в ЦАО Москвы мы постарались создать рафинированное и премиальное пространство для жизни молодого гедониста. Несущая стена делит квартиру на 2 части, пространства по бокам от неё полностью перепланированы — справа open-space кухни-гостиной, слева приватная зона. Ядром общего пространства является мебельный элемент, включающий шкаф для одежды со стороны прихожей и бытовую технику с витринами со стороны кухни. Напротив - гостиная, центром композиции которой служит библиотека с ТВ по центру. В центре кухни расположен остров, который объединен единой столешницей из искусственного камня с небольшим обеденным столом. Все предметы мебели изготовлены на заказ по эскизам архитекторов.

West Highlands Home Renovation

TVL Creative Ltd.

This 1910 West Highlands home was so compartmentalized that you couldn't help to notice you were constantly entering a new room every 8-10 feet. There was also a 500 SF addition put on the back of the home to accommodate a living room, 3/4 bath, laundry room and back foyer - 350 SF of that was for the living room. Needless to say, the house needed to be gutted and replanned. Kitchen+Dining+Laundry-Like most of these early 1900's homes, the kitchen was not the heartbeat of the home like they are today. This kitchen was tucked away in the back and smaller than any other social rooms in the house. We knocked out the walls of the dining room to expand and created an open floor plan suitable for any type of gathering. As a nod to the history of the home, we used butcherblock for all the countertops and shelving which was accented by tones of brass, dusty blues and light-warm greys. This room had no storage before so creating ample storage and a variety of storage types was a critical ask for the client. One of my favorite details is the blue crown that draws from one end of the space to the other, accenting a ceiling that was otherwise forgotten. Primary Bath-This did not exist prior to the remodel and the client wanted a more neutral space with strong visual details. We split the walls in half with a datum line that transitions from penny gap molding to the tile in the shower. To provide some more visual drama, we did a chevron tile arrangement on the floor, gridded the shower enclosure for some deep contrast an array of brass and quartz to elevate the finishes. Powder Bath-This is always a fun place to let your vision get out of the box a bit. All the elements were familiar to the space but modernized and more playful. The floor has a wood look tile in a herringbone arrangement, a navy vanity, gold fixtures that are all servants to the star of the room - the blue and white deco wall tile behind the vanity. Full Bath-This was a quirky little bathroom that you'd always keep the door closed when guests are over. Now we have brought the blue tones into the space and accented it with bronze fixtures and a playful southwestern floor tile. Living Room & Office-This room was too big for its own good and now serves multiple purposes. We condensed the space to provide a living area for the whole family plus other guests and left enough room to explain the space with floor cushions. The office was a bonus to the project as it provided privacy to a room that otherwise had none before.

Living Room Design Photos with White Walls and Recessed

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
