Tiny metal modern box: Summer Cabin 4:12

The folks behind Imanna Arkitekter Architecture, who designed the Summer Cabin 4:12 project in Ingarö, Sweden, must really understand that while we love walking around and enjoying nature, we’re both terrified of bears and prefer a soft place to lay our heads down at night. What appears to be a — Continue reading

Live Modern: Casa Codina

With so many modern conveniences that enable us to live in perfectly comfortable houses year round, it’s easy to forget that for a very long time, a comfortable interior existence depending on an architect or builder’s ability to situate a structure just so in a landscape so that sun, shade, — Continue reading

Live Modern: Country House

What does the perfect intersection between traditional, country style and modernism look like? Like this incredible home by dva arhitekta located in Bijaca, Bosnia and Herzegovina. “The approach of the proposal was to develop a residential complex in strong connection to the context.

Live Modern: BBD House

Just loving this house! It’s such a perfect mix of old and new when you begin to examine its details. First to catch our eye are those lovely, rounded corners of the house. Instantly creating a softer, more comfortable sort of feel to it than harsher, more squared-off corners would. — Continue reading

Play: Abandoned Yugoslavian Sculpture or Glimpse into an Architectural Future!

I was reminded again of these awesome photos of sculptures that were commissioned by the Yugoslavian government in the 1960s and 1970s but then were all abandoned, sort of resembling a future society that fell and left its sad but poetic architecture behind. Or like if you landed on an — Continue reading

Live Modern: Texas Hill Road Residence

Isn’t this modern house so full of fall feelings, colors and inspiration? We guess it’s almost winter so time to start thinking about that, but we’re still dreaming of colorful leaves on trees, brown and green and gold color palettes and lots of wood. Oh! Everything this house has! Called — Continue reading

Interiors: Elm and Willow House

Whoa! Now this is an interior we can get behind. It’s something we can get behind because it’s not so much an interior space as an almost outside/inside space. Loving this house with the huge platform, stage-like rooms that completely blur the line of what is outside and what is — Continue reading

Live Modern: Söderöra

Ooh! This home we found on Architizer not only includes a tiny, pod-like modern shape and size, but it is also comfortably nestled amongst some nature. Two of our favorite things when we look for cool modern architecture! Seriously though, this one has some amazing views that were specifically framed. It’s almost — Continue reading

Live Modern: Suntro House

Last night I was thinking about getting business cards with rounded corners and I thought to myself how nice rounded corners are. They’re still structural but not too harsh. They still tell a shape story but just not scream it from the rooftops. They are sleek, but also kind of — Continue reading

Live Modern: Airstream House

While we explore a number of different types and ideas of modern architecture, let’s get back to a nice classic example, shall we? You look at this home, known as the Airstream House, and you just totally think modern. It’s got sleek lines and a narrow footprint that makes it — Continue reading

Live Modern: Haus Englberg

Well, this isn’t quite a barn, but you can see where our recent barn-mania may have led us to loving this piece of architecture. Man, what is it about German architects who just get it sooo right? This modern home in Landshut, Germany, is straight modern, no doubt, but it retains — Continue reading

Live Modern: 4S House

We love a simple, clean house. What’s more modern than that? Providing a family with clear designs, efficient space solutions, sensible materials that look good and modern sensibilities that create a comforting, warm home, that’s modern design, don’t you think?

Organizing and integrating sidewalks, landscapes and native plants of Brazil by the aesthetic rules of painting established an unique dialogue between the two disciplines: organization of abstract painting as a starting point for the lay out of garden design and species. The name behind this success is Roberto Burle Marx. — Continue reading

Villa Mecklin, Naantali, Finland, by Huttunen-Lipasti-Pakkanen Architects

Sometimes you see a house that blows you out of your mind in such a way that you can barely find words to describe its beauty. It is not necessarily one you’d live in or design (if you are in that sort of thing that is) but it happens. Villa — Continue reading
