Cómo aprovechar un salón de muy pocos metros
Un buen recurso también es utilizar muebles funcionales y prácticos. Este salón, por ejemplo, cuenta con una mesa de centro que se levanta y baja a voluntad, a través de sus piernas y altura regulable, y puede, por lo tanto ser utilizado como mesa de centro o mesa de comedor, según la ocasión.
Detrás del sofá, se ha aprovechado un antiguo conducto de humos, para instalar en la pared unas gruesas planchas de roble teñido que cumplen la función de una biblioteca.
Para obtener más luz, las paredes y el sofá son de tonos claros, y las cortinas son transparentes. El resto de la decoración es suave y femenino: el sofá decorado con cojines de seda pastel, y en el suelo, una alfombra de pelo de vacuno teñidos de fucsia.
Paredes para niños artistas
Una opción es convertir una pared en una pizarra con una pintura especial. Los colores más habituales son verde (como los tableros escolares) y negro (opción más actual), pero hay firmas como Cuarto Color que han desarrollado hasta 10 colores diferentes en pintura de pizarra. Lo puedes adquirir en tiendas especializadas de pintura y bricolaje.
Otra opción muy divertida es convertir una pared en tablero magnético con pinturas que incorporan partículas metálicas y permiten sujetar elementos directamente en la pared, con imanes. Para que la superficie tenga magnetismo hay que aplicar 3-4 capas y renovarlas cada año (2 capas más). Las hay con acabados de pizarra como las de Bruguer y otras que permiten cualquier acabado como la de Mag Paint (Pinturalmán).

The glass-steel-concrete masterpiece on Mercer Island
Modern Architecture
Concrete, steel and glass are considered “cold” materials that lack the coziness and warmth of other materials, used in residential buildings. That might be true, but the structures they create are no way inferior when it comes to style and beauty. Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects prove that used in a proper way those three materials can make an outstanding house, like this one, located on Washington’s Mercer Island, Seattle. The house consists of two concrete structures, connected via an exposed steel bridge leading into the main house and to a private courtyard. A stunning floor-to-ceiling concrete fireplace takes place in the living room, which – like the rest of the interior – is double-height. The large windows, or more properly the glass walls, provide clear view to the surrounding areas and to the rest of the house. Though it looks a bit severe and industrial, this family refuge is incredibly beautiful, don’t you think?

Portas Novas – oceanfront paradise by Victor Cañas architects
Modern Architecture Sea House with water mirror pool
Victor Cañas architects have created amazing work of art in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Night view to the lake from the modern house
Portas Novas, which means New Gates, is a stunning piece of architecture, perched on a vast ledge facing the Pacific Ocean. As you may have already guessed, the view is incredible and the architects had that in mind.
back yard view
Made by concrete, steel and lots of glass, to the west Portas Novas reveals a clear, beautiful, near 180° panorama of the ocean, and to the east there is not so vast, but still great view to the mountainside.

Edge House by Mobius Architects: cutting edge contemporary architecture
Contemporary architecture - modern House Edge House
Poland-based Mobius Architects have created something modern, beautifully unusual and definitely stunning. The Edge House near Cracow is supposed to be built on an excavated niche on a limestone hillside – a terrain that certainly poses many challenges, but also gives birth to some truly exceptional ideas. Pressed by local building codes which disallow roofs with slopes less that 30 degrees, Mobius had no choice but to find a way to obey these regulations. That’s how the concept for the roof came alive. Looking at the sheer plane pierced by windows and the protruding white terrace, we have no doubt this is the best solution for this peculiar plot.

The images you see are in fact conceptual renderings, but construction for the house has already begun and is expected to complete at the end of the year.[via]
