Contemporary Single Family Home Design by aka Architecture + Design Inc

aka Architecture + Design Inc have designed the contemporary single family home called Whistler Cay Residence located in one of Whistler’s oldest residential neighbourhoods with spectacular views of Whistler, Blackcomb and surrounding mountains.

The Whistler Cay Residence is a 5000 sq. ft. single-family home located in one of Whistler’s oldest residential neighbourhoods with spectacular views of Whistler, Blackcomb and surrounding mountains. The contemporary design incorporates the vernacular materials of the typical Whistler Mountain home but applies them in a modern language with clean and simple gestures that are at once bold yet subtle. The house asserts its presence on the street yet respectfully refers to its context through its warm use of timber, stone and natural cedar wood siding. The grand living spaces feature expansive glass windows that open up to views beyond. Secondary spaces offer smaller framed views while securing privacy from nearby houses.

The steeply sloping site limits the amount of accessible grade so outdoor space is provided instead through a series of generous terraces at all sides and levels of the house. The size and function of each terrace varies according to its view and exposure to natural light. The main terrace is fully covered and equipped with an outdoor fireplace and is intended for year-round usage and social gatherings. The master bedroom is intended for the private use of the owners although it shares the same spectacular views.

The Best Small Condo Redesign by 3 Fold Design Studio

This small condo was redesigned for a mature couple who wanted to give up the responsibilities of a large family home, to provide the setting for a more simple, more sophisticated way of life.

The living/dining area is designed to comfortably house a large library. Solar shades and Shoji screens are used to shield window walls from the afternoon sun. One of the two bathrooms is designed to be ADA compliant. It also houses an accessible front-loading washer and dryer and features a 5′ wheelchair turnaround. One bedroom became a study featuring contemporary furnishings. The master bedroom offers spots for reading that allow the clients to enjoy the spectacular views from the ninth floor. The kitchen has an accessible sink and appliances that are easily used from a wheelchair, as well as a 5′ turnaround. Pullout drawers are used for storage. Visit 3 Fold Design Studio website – here.

Modern Interior Design Penthouse Flat Apartment with Glass Wall Design and Steel Staircase, London

This modern interior design Penthouse Flat Apartment with spectacular views over the Thames, comprising a two storey space of 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, study, kitchen, dining room and living areas. The space was formed as open plan as the building’s structure and building regulations would allow. Special features include a glass and steel staircase, a kitchen with lacquered cupboards, enarnel baked white glass doors and neoparise worktops. A purpose made lacquered finish rotating bed with leather insets and bolsters and bespoke glass dressing table are found in the Master Bedroom and custom designed glass bath features in the Master Bathroom.

As a speculative development the design was not actually directed to a specific client and therefore the conceptual approach was as simple and as neutral as possible. Maximum attention was given to provide views and vistas and create an atmosphere of lightness and magic. The modern Penthouse Flat Apartment designed by EVA JIRICNA ARCHITECTS.
