Luxury House - Luxury Modern The CG House

The CG House rests on a generous 17,250 sq. ft. site adjacent to the Sierra Madre mountains. While the site’s steep slope presented a number of design challenges, the dramatic views it afforded of the city of Monterrey provided the architect with a number of opportunities as well. Modern Interior Design 2012

A wide exterior granite staircase lead to an intimate garden of palm trees. Directly ahead is a 12 feet-high dark oak door whose grand scale offers a hint of the dramatic scale of this 10,650 sq. ft. home that lies beyond, beginning with an entry foyer whose 15 feet-high walls are adorned with silver leaf. A massive sculptural piece of coconut roots, steel and rocks was designed specifically for this space.

The living room, as well as the dining and family rooms, all have large windows with views of the garden, allowing light to penetrate deep within the spaces as well as creating a seamless interplay between the interior and exterior spaces. Also, within the house, subtle level changes between rooms not only add interest to the interior layout but these changes also reflect the site’s topography.


From the street, two massive oak tress rise to provide privacy and welcome shade to the swimming pool terrace above. Due to the sloping nature of the site, a massive, exposed concrete wall defines and encloses the swimming pool and garden areas of the house and sets the tone for the design of the house itself, which is clad in brown/black volcanic stone, IPE wood, white stucco and steel.




New House - Modern House Design in The Spanish City of A Coruna

The house is located in a triangular shape site and with the added problem of a great slope. The parcel is next to another in its eastern side, to the access road in its western side and to a precipice that it is the boundary of the ground in the zone the house opens to the fantastic views of the estuary of A Corunna in its north side. Modern Interior Design 2012

The project is developed under these conditionings in two combined volumes that configure the different inside and outside spaces, development related directly with the sculptural “task” of extracting material of a compact volume. If we have to put a name to these way of working would be Eduardo Chillida. The house is, this way, clearly open to the sea and radically closed to the boundary of the access road.

Inside, floors appear functionally divided by the intersection of the two volumes axis, where at the same time the principal stair is located. This stair is characterized by a red color panel in which is supported and that goes through the three floors, emphasizing the nuclear character of this point of the house. In the basement floor, the study is separated by this point; in the middle floor, it separates the double height of the study and the projector room to one side and the guest bedrooms to the other; in the ground floor the intersection of axis separates the lounge and the garage of the kitchen, and finally in the upper floor and with a double height over the lounge is the principal bedroom, discharged from the axis as well as of the volume where is located and singularized in an independent third floor. The falling of the ground let you go out as well through the guest bedrooms floor as through the lounge as through the roof floor (where we find the cube of the principal bedroom).

In the development of the project we try to find out new visions of the day by day related directly with the Galician culture, like living life in the kitchen, giving to that space a bigger entity and quality; the use of own land materials redefined in modules and application (which is done with slate on façades and on roof). In this process we keep searching for the concept of one family house too and valuing equally the different scales: town-planning, architectural and detail; other defined elements of this project are: to separate representative zones of domestic ones, the façade modulation and its texture, the fair treatment of recess and the volumetric forcefulness, but in its appropriated scale and on direct relation with its closest environment (where there is a great chestnut that harmonize the disposition of the different pieces) as well as the distant ones (being part of one of the façades of the entry of the town), and searching in the same way the pureness of shapes and spaces.

The chromatic option of black and white with all of its shades, clearly present in the project are an own identity sign and at the same time one more element inside the search of what it is pure, what it is essential.

The pureness of the shapes is moved to structural framework too. Reinforced concrete walls and stones that define the volumes boundaries, eliminating middle pillars that would change the interior space scale, compose this. Only in one of the wall, which is elevated of the ground, one support by pillars is permitted without breaking the volume line that configures. An spectacular encounter between this piece and its next is created this way. The furniture has been created trying to highlight the specials characteristics of the space where is in.

In this searching of dynamism, space richness and volumetric pureness of the project, the adopted constructive solutions are consistent to what it is pursued, eliminating every element that can distract the direct perception of the space (elements like skirting boards, joints, handles.), reinforced by the continuity of walls, floors and ceilings, all in white. The façades of principal volumes, completely covered by a slate skin that makes invisibles the main door and the garage door, pursue that aim too.

Unique House - Most Unique Design of House in Leiria


The architect Manuel Aires Mateus has finished this house in Leiria, Portugal with unique and creative design of architecture. By exploring not too large space for the building, the architect explored the underground floor more creatively. However, the smart arrangement of the architecture makes the castle at the center of the city gets much natural light.

The idea of the architecture is making a three height void horizontally from the roof to the lower ground floor so that it can collect more natural lights for the whole parts of the house. The private area of the house such as bedrooms and children play room is situated under the plot. The private area has a private patio in the middle. Meanwhile, the social area such as living room and dining room are situated on the upper level.

The architecture design of the Leiria Castle enables much natural light entering the interior through the void. Besides, the courtyards surrounded by private areas also get much natural light from the void to the level garden. Located on the high area with the view of the city and Leiria outskirt, the castle looks so special with the unique architecture design. Modern Interior Design 2012
