These 51 fabulous landscape design ideas will make you want to live your life outside, during work, rest, play and every meal time in between. Don’t be intimidated by the size of some of these great gardens, even when scaled down, these combinations produce a great effect that will surely delight and impress. We’ll walk through graded garden spaces with layered green panoramas, paved exteriors with green interludes, clean box hedges, elegant garden water features and tree-lined landscapes that look ripped out of a storybook. Whether you’re creating an outdoor recreation space for guests or a secret hiding place in the world, here’s an inspiration for everyone.
Way to heaven. Build abundant boundaries around a wide path that leads the eye to a green panorama of perfectly aligned mature trees and neat shrubs.
Be artistic with your yard. Courtyards do not have to be a series of uniform pavements. Using a combination of paving options, you can create something much more unique and interesting.
Evergreen textures. These well-shaped plant beds are packed with contrasting textured evergreen perennials to create a palpable border around the yard. A combination of grass and crawling ground cover has a surprisingly effective effect.
Square. Simple squares create a very formal landscape layout that can be achieved with low boxing hedges. Place more delicate plants in the center of your square plant beds, or make a focus with an attractive pool and fountain.
This square landscape design preserves topiary boxes of solid hedge to achieve even a single-level appearance.
Superior symmetry. This luxurious garden landscape achieves its sophisticated appearance with a perfectly symmetrical arrangement of mirrored garden steps and tree rows.
Peaceful conversation pit. Dipped low into the courtyard, this outdoor conversation cave almost goes unnoticed if not for its fabulous modern waterfall feature.
The structured courtyard. Small linear plant beds and tonal patio plates interrupt this large patio to create an attractive pattern among small trees. In autumn, the focus shifts from the purple flowerbeds to the treetops, which glow brightly orange.
Sculptural beauty. Topiary provides a green, sculptural beauty in a garden, but you can also incorporate man-made creations as an outdoor focus. This wall-mounted sculpture is combined with atmospheric exterior lighting for effect even after dark.
This dynamic garden statue inspires a landscape full of movement. Water fountains bubble from the paved terrace and a vertical garden wall creates a visual cascade.
Walk on the wild side. Unleash your landscaping layout with winding paths that relax around wild plant arrangements and majestic trees.
Start a riot of color. Jakaranda trees are a subtropical tree native to South America that bursts with lively, long-lasting violet flowers. As the petals fall like confetti, a purple carpet forms below.
Equally beautiful but with delicate white star-shaped spring flowers, a Juneberry tree is a hardy choice that grows well in most positions, including wet landscapes and under light shade.
In this courtyard design, the Juneberry tree creates an amazing canopy over an outdoor dining room.
Eat outside in a jungle of greens. This modern outdoor dining table is located in a location that is completely surrounded by climbing plants and tropical shrubs to create a 360º jungle view.
Sweeping beds of color. Make a garden path into a curved journey of joy through edges of colorful bushes in contrasting sizes and textures. This loose approach makes a great contrast against a sharp linear architecture.
Fill in the gaps. A landfill of perennials of Mind-your-own-business will quickly fill the gaps between stepping stones to achieve a well-established look. Add seedlings of various heights to bring greens to terraces.
On the straight and narrow. A narrow path along the perimeter of the household provides an easy tour of the garden. Plant beds and water feature are fixed perpendicular to the path to form bell lines.
Create a zen moment with a minimalist deck, serene focus and a comfortable modern outdoor chair.
Multi-storey planting. Insert roofs and overhanging balconies to bring more greenery into your garden or patio. A multi-level plant scheme fosters a soothing feeling of complete solitude and security.
Pond perfection. This precise circular pond with fountains, built-in plant bed and surrounding path is a comprehensive design that can be effectively scaled to fit smaller environments.
Simplify your design with built-in benches. In a minimalist modern landscape design, a laconic material palette is key. To maintain simplicity, give up independent seats in favor of custom cast concrete alternatives.
Make an abstract compilation. Abundant green lawn, paved courtyard area and pond filled with monolithic shapes come together in an abstract, angular formation. The elements are both defined and held together by a pure concrete boundary.
Create a water world. Each section of this unique garden is presented as a floating platform due to fully flooded boundaries. Line paths provide passage over and around the ponds.
Form a garden that torments in the wind with soft Mountain sedge, and Great Bluegrass of the Great Plains and prairie regions of central and eastern North America.
Monday lawns with sharp edges. A healthy green lawn is a beauty to be seen, but becomes more of a jewel with a clear paved edge.
Geometric climbs. Table and modern outdoor chairs are positioned randomly at the base of a spectacular geometric garden in this unique landscape design. A water channel draws the eye to the focal point of the climb.
Build exterior rooms. Custom drawer benches build walls of utility and separation.
Color-changing cube. Dig up courtyard walls in copper that will change from brown to blue and green as they age.
Evoke traditional Japanese serenity with decorative stones, a pebble bed and a stone water basin.
Slices of nature. Whether you’re planning a pond or tall plant beds, these chambered volumes are split from one central mass to make a cool combination.
Make a gardening game with a cactus jackal.
Customize your landscape overflowing with life and color with a hardy Creeping Jenny perennial. Its leaf color depends on sun exposure, appearing chartreuse in shade and golden in full sun.
Clean cut and quiet. Domesticate nature within smooth, polished perimeters. Add exterior overlays to emphasize plant textures.
Full and floral. An abundance of mixed soil cover and perennials around rough stones form a floral ancestral quality.
Trembling terraces. Combine outdoor stairs with staggered terraces to climb a layered cake of lush greenery.
Another stepped landscape design, but this time with crenellated planters.
A raft of greenery. Set within a pond, this planting platform makes a floating landscape.
Look to the future with futuristic pod-like planters and pixelated sculpture.
Conquer difficult plot forms. This tight, triangular shaped garden presents landscape layout challenges. In response to the puzzle, one wall of the building was integrated into the pool as a water feature. Bamboo border draws attention to the abundance of height instead of the lack of square images.
Simple squares of paving stones clearly accommodate an outdoor kitchen and a courtyard dining room.
Just part of the landscape. This comfortable fire lounge looks as if it has been there forever thanks to the introduction of crawling ivy around the outdoor fireplace.
Build a pool planter with a dual function. Not only home for plants but also a water feature, this rustic stone wall planter makes a decorative backdrop for a small pool.
Concrete and eminent, this unique pool design and industrial background adds monolithic majesty to the green landscape.
Pruned trees. Trees are always amazing in their wildest and most natural form, but another approach is to cultivate sculpted canopies with topiary boxing bases.
The beauty of empty space. Developed in Japan in the late Kamakura period, karesansui gardens are built on the rector of yohaku-no-bi, which signifies the beauty of empty space. In this example, hollow edges of raked sand draw attention to enchanting mound ground cover and fiery red bushes.
Dip into a deck to create warm memories around a fire pit.
Form a corridor of color with boldly contrasting grasses.
This comfortable fireplace design lies down on a sandy base to evoke beach holiday vibes.
Speaking of holidays, palm trees and hammocks have five-star tropical vibes written through them.
Sculpt fabulous boundaries. Margarinata American Aloe and the broad-leaved Red Poker Aloe build an attractive definition around a raised terrace. Organ Pipe Cactus creates height.

Family Compound For Two Brothers In China
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Flowing Garden House is a large, luxurious family compound, built for two fellow entrepreneurs in Zhangzhou City, China. Created by an architectural firm More than Arch Studio, the 1700-square-foot home stands apart from most modern houses in China. This home consists of three parts that include a private unit for each brother’s family and a common space for family reunions, fitness and more. The social spaces center around a peaceful courtyard design with a huge pond and majestic trees. The hope for this unique home design is that it will become a centerpiece for an extended family, and will be the home fire that forges memories for generations to come.
It’s a huge pond design that gives this home a sense of close family connection. The central pond courtyard ignites a covering feeling of serenity that flows into every branch of the house.
At night, the courtyard is a warm and welcoming space under soft outdoor lighting. Focused LED lights dance across the stone steps that lead down to the pond to create a beautiful, graded effect and promote safety in low light.
The concrete steps around the pond serve as a place to sit and contemplate at the water’s edge.
The modern steps go down into the water, building an abstract design beneath the clear surface.
LED strips follow the wider edge of the pond, achieving a bold, contemporary look.
Mature trees thrive around the perimeter of the yard, creating height, texture and natural beauty.
A traditional Chinese tea room opens wide to the soothing courtyard view. Tea drinking is elementary in Southern Fujian, as well as an integral part of hospitality.
With double doors pulled back, the tea room design is extended by a narrow terrace that leads to the water’s edge.
An indoor heated swimming pool is placed in the basement, with lounges and meeting rooms located next to it.
A sunken courtyard blesses the basement areas with natural light and a beautiful natural panorama.
The material palette through the domestic compound remains consistent in hot wood grain and board-shaped concrete. The palette is softened slightly in the two private housing volumes to create a comfortable atmosphere where coarse concrete walls are minimized by beige stucco.
In the larger, more open social spaces, cool, textured concrete rules with little additional decoration. Bamboo ceilings create a warm counterbalance.
Interior lighting is focused and atmospheric.
A huge skylight brings sunlight to the basement pool.
Fair-faced concrete and open walkways build a monumental aesthetic through the home composition.
The housing units that belong to each brother and their family are merged into one building but are completely separate inside. They are entered by two independent, staggered entrance halls of a ribbon courtyard to establish privacy.
The combined home is equipped with a grand dining room that gets the best views of the interior patio design. The grand dining room is furnished with two round dining tables that can seat up to ten people each, to accommodate a large number of family members and guests during the festivals. A smaller patio supports the dining room to create an open flow.
Fireplaces create a hearty glow, serving as an attraction for comfortable gatherings.
The scale of respective spaces are separated from each other to evoke contrasting moods.
The ribbon yard connects all areas, threading an outdoor tour.
From stone steps at the northeast entrance, under a shady overhang, and through a series of narrow and wider spatial arrangements, the courtyard path is a private trail of tranquility.
On the south side of the building, a lower corridor reaches the terrace where the whole view is fully developed.
For many years, the use of courtyards was common in local houses to improve environmental conditions and fulfill a natural division between private and community spaces.
Plants that bloom over time become grounded in family memories and in future generations.
Light wells touch every interior space with a hint of nature.
Port windows line up to allow the line of sight to move from one space to the next.
Guest rooms are arranged over the north side of the leisure area.
Room sizes are compact and comfortable, with serene garden views to the south.
Bedrooms get an outdoor connection with a small patio.
Both of the master bedrooms are located on the south front side of the second floor, which faces a wooded area that leads to the sea.
Except for some land in the south, where the sea is closely observable through the trees, there are no remarkable views to be had, as the height of the building is limited to only ten meters. This makes the courtyard and landscape roads all the more precious.
The 30-meter-wide dense forest zone serves as a windbreak and shield against typhoons. The 3-acre, rectangular housing plot has its shorter sides to the north and south. Neighboring buildings stand east and west.
The entrance is on the north side of the road, which winds into the social leisure space. The southern part of the home is the private residential area. The division of the two independent housing units fluently forms the ribbon courtyard.
Right next to the northernmost corridor, multi-purpose rooms within the two units can be used as a casual dining room, for arts, as a reading room or for games.
The basement is equipped with a living room, home cinema, comfortable, laundry and spare bedrooms.

Red Laterite Stone Shines in South Indian Home
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Replacing one existing house and warehouse, this large family home was made to complement the tropical lifestyle of Kerala, India. Created by The Design Room, the architecture comprehensively retains the native trees of the 600 square meter site, and encloses several of them within a central courtyard design. The built-up spaces separate from this outdoor heart of the home, which achieves a comfortable connection. The open plan layout was guided by the region’s humid climatic conditions. The benefits of cross ventilation, passive cooling and natural lighting have satisfied the vision for an energy-efficient home. Outside, the vegetation contrasts sharply with the visual warmth of a rich red laterite stone.
The attractive three-storey house structure has a clear modern façade of contrasting red stone and pure white imagery. Established plants harden around the edges of the plot, growing abundant borders. Built-in planters pull a splash of natural greenery up at the front entrance door, and onto the first-floor terrace of the home.
Paving stones interrupt the green ground cover, placing a welcoming checkered driveway. Low metal gates intelligently in front of the property, while white-made walls separate the dwelling from its close neighbors.
Overhangs above the windows and terraces keep the interior and exterior living quarters cool and shady. Umbrella roofs have been implemented into the home design to support passive cooling of the interiors. These attractive roof structures also successfully hide solar panels installed on them.
The materials for the construction were carefully selected due to their local availability and their thermal effects. Laterite, an iron-rich soil and a rock formation formed in tropical areas, was widely used in construction. Historically used in monument construction, this time Kannur brick laterite bricks are used correctly as a replacement for exterior cladding.
A minimalist interior design completes the airy openness of the floor. Wooden furniture and window frames complement the natural greenery both inside and outside the home. The soft upholstery is light and creamy to adhere to a peaceful palette of polished white floors and white painted walls. The design shows detailed attention to the efficient circulation of air throughout the house, using lath fords and open bookcases to create lightweight zoning.
A double high vacuum makes for an impressive dining room. The modern dining set is a rich wood tone that warmly coordinates with the architectural details of the home. Double doors connect the inner dining room with the main courtyard.
A small courtyard design thrives under a wide skylight, where it blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. A huge glass window presents the beautiful view to the apartment and staircase, while glass doors lead to the dining room.
There is a modern vanity unit with a bathroom sink inside the courtyard where the family can wash their hands before dinner. A round wall mirror makes an elegant decorative feature.
The staircase design has open levers, allowing the view of the courtyard and natural light to flood without hindrance. A comfortable seat takes advantage of the pleasant view.
The creamy, white and wood minimalist decor continues inside the quiet bedrooms. In the master bedroom series, three wooden shutters create a tropical style trapping feature behind the wooden platform bed. Bespoke wooden wardrobes span the entire length of the large room to a matching bookshelf.
False walls with decorative holes are included on the west and south sides of the home to achieve cooler interior spaces. The decorative screens create a beautiful play of light through the open interior.
Comfortable seats dot the home, made up of modern chairs and an ottoman or two. The seats offer a quiet moment of family solitude for a place of reading or peaceful contemplation.
As well as the already established plant life on the plot, additional plantation was chosen to harmonize with local growing conditions and the customers preferred aesthetics.
A map is shaded by vehicles from the hot sun during the day. Exterior lights brightly illuminate the driveway, balconies and terraces at night.
The first floor terrace overlooks the central courtyard down below ground level, creating a family flow connection across the vertical plane.
The sun-stained courtyard has round decorated areas that interconnect with circular plant beds. The plant beds are dotted around to contain huge trees that were already established on the site when it was purchased. In fact, the idea for the big yard stemmed specifically from the notion of wanting to protect the many adult trees at the core of the plot.
The site is located just one kilometer from Kollam beach.
Side height, showing cladding organization and windowing.
Ground floor plan with patio, formal living room, family living room, dining room, kitchen and butler kitchen, master bedroom, and double bedroom that is used as grandparents.
First floor plan with a large terrace, a spacious upper lounge, a home gym, and two additional bedrooms for the children.
The open flow of the home arrangement encourages many interactions between family members, as well as time spent outdoors in nature and fresh air. These interactions with family and nature help a lot with mental well-being, while the home gym will help in the quest to keep the body healthy.
In this illustrated diagram, we look at the solar and airflow aspects of the home and its successful energy-efficient project solutions.

Modern Indian House With A Beautiful Indoor Pond
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A slow, nature-kissed serenity flows through this modern Indian house design, which was created by the talent at an architectural firm. Developing Radical Aesthetics. From the outside, the modern home is trimmed with mature palms and established plant beds that frame the fresh white image of asymmetrical architecture. Inside the house, a bold staircase design dominates a wide entrance that leads into open and airy lounges. The simple yet elegant accommodations pause at bright courtyards that provide a blissful breeze. One sun-stained courtyard has a beautiful koi fish pond that provides vibrant color, life and quiet entertainment to family members of all ages.
As we approach our prominent home from the main street, White-painted boundary walls complete the clear white depiction of sharp asymmetrical architecture that cuts into the clear blue sky. Ripe palm trees soften the sloping silhouette of the house before the gradient of the roof guides the eye down into established plant beds.
The modern façade shines warmly at night, as outside lights illuminate the porch and indoor jewelry glitters from within a light-permeable second-floor wall.
Stone paving slabs covered the driveway and entrance of the contemporary Indian home, clearing the path for visitors. An architectural overhang provides ample shade over the front door.
Above the front entrance, a covered balcony offers a cool and shady place to hang out, read or chat.
As we enter the high-quality home, we are greeted with a wide-open entrance. A dominant modern staircase design climbs to the upper floor with open wooden steps and a bold solid black railing.
Open doors lead from the wide entrance into the living room and a separate dining room. A watery courtyard installs a peaceful break between the residences and encourages a blissful wind to cool the inner rooms.
Delicate water lilies grow in the heart of the koi pond, while the lively koi fish feel a vibrant orange color as they meander around the bubbling borders.
Plenty of green plants bloom around the edges of the colorful koi fish pond, where they reach up through the sun-stained space toward the sky.
The lively pond creates a dreamy view of the living room and the formal dining room.
The decoration inside the dining room is simple and minimalist, light and understated, so as not to detract from the neighboring koi pond. A contemporary wooden tone and a dull black buffet embrace a cool planked concrete wall. Two modern dining room lights drop satin silver accents over the modern dining set.
Above the buffet unit, a trio of botanical wall art prints complete the beauty of the adjoining courtyards. A soft gray carpet warms the tiled floor of a dining room.
The dining room is sandwiched between two courtyards that shed natural light on the white upholstered dining chairs. The shade of the light changes as the sun sets, which magically transforms the color scheme of the dining room.
The soothing koi fish pond distracts family members of all ages, from the very small and curious to the older and contemplative.
The koi pond also makes the most amazing and quiet addition to bedrooms. Here, an elegant bedroom chair pulls up to the patio doors to appreciate the special view. Floral blankets connect with the relationship to nature, along with natural wooden deck design and a vase of greenery. A small night light emits a warm and calm glow.
The dry courtyard design provides other rooms and walkways with a burst of natural greenery, a breath of fresh ventilation and a splash of natural daylight. Glass walls on each floor of the home ensure that the courtyard view is spread high and wide.
A small garden area was planted upstairs so that every room in the home would benefit from a tangible connection with the outdoors. A loose swing offers an inviting place to look at the view and move the hours away. An outdoor chair and table are set at a tactile distance from the plants for a more enveloping garden moment.
An eclectic mix of furniture stylizes the living room spaces.
Eight-gloss wooden chairs are paired with an air-permeable wall. A blue planter draws color inspiration from the cloudless sky.
The upper landing is bordered by clear glass railings, which leave the flow of natural light unobstructed.
A covered balcony welcomes the family into the fresh air.
A unique concrete bench curves the perimeter of the balcony.
A wide ceiling filters the strong sunlight to provide a comfortable shade. Outdoor planters bring a piece of the garden to the upper seat.
Board shaped concrete contours the side of the contemporary Indian home exterior.
Each room is designed to take advantage of the natural breeze and mild shade.
Ground floor plan and first floor plan.
The section drawing clearly illustrates the positioning of the dining room between the two courtyard designs.
Design of living space, including living room, dining room and beautiful patio with koi pond. We also see the covered balcony above, which is lovingly and aptly named the Sunset Garden.

Vietnamese Villas: Airy Courtyards & Lush Green Borders
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Nature has revitalizing effects that are great for mental health, but often we are pretty much removed from it in our modern homes. In built-up areas, there may be limited space for gardens, or they may not offer enough privacy from the nearest neighbors. Courts offer an opportunity to correct this. Surrounded by the home itself, there are no curious eyes from the next door, and the central location of the green space encourages passage through it as one moves from one inner room to the next. Designed by Kaizen Archi, These two bright and modern Vietnamese villa concepts are centered around their airy courtyards, which provide happily cooling ventilation and a serene 360º garden view.
Measuring 26 feet by 30 feet, our first Vietnamese villa design is a modern apartment that is surrounded by an abundant garden shore of mature shrubs and palm trees.
The two-story house is arranged in a square formation, with a courtyard split inside.
The modern facade is shielded by high walls to ensure privacy of the road that goes near the front entrance.
Once inside the villa, the aesthetic remains clear and modern with fresh white walls, ceilings and floors. Natural wood elements and beige fabrics warm the color palette, and solid black accents provide heavy visual anchors.
The large and airy living room is an open layout that encompasses the kitchen and dining rooms behind the lounge.
Retractable glass doors adjoin the living room with the outdoor terrace, which increases the usable space. The indoor-outdoor living arrangement also ensures plenty of cooling airflow through the Vietnamese villa.
The kitchen installation fills the back of the living room with rich wooden cabinets. Compatible wood effect panels reach up to the ceiling line to extend the aesthetics and make a much grander statement. A coordinating kitchen island separates the kitchen from the dining room and adjoining living room.
The lounge is spread out in a peaceful courtyard design with mature trees and a deck for dining in the fresh air.
Wide windows create sun-drenched bedrooms with beautiful views of the green borders. The end of a couch matches the earthen upholstered bed, while two chairs join the cool gray bed and a concrete retaining wall.
Within the master series, a low partition wall separates the sleeping space from a toilet area.
Espresso bedding coordinates perfectly with the deep shadow of the headboard wall. A private terrace awaits just outside the sliding glass doors, with a soothing view of the tropical treetops.
The bathroom has a fabulous view of its own that can be enjoyed from the bathtub.
Two outdoor chairs and an inviting hanging chair find shade under a short roof overhang and a few small trees in raised planters.
On one side of the house, a narrow courtyard area extends along the high perimeter wall, which is softened by overhanging plants and a border of dense greenery.
Home arrangement.
Our second Vietnamese villa design measures 7.5 meters by 30 meters in Binh Duong,
High walls and wooden canopies box in the private two-story villa.
Behind the perimeter wall, the front entrance serves as a shaded outdoor seat.
A round coffee table creates a dark core for the living room layout, and adds a balancing element to the large black TV screen.
Sliding glass doors connect the living room with an airy patio, which then leads to the kitchen dining room. A large, glass dining room chandelier captures the light from double-height windows.
Gray kitchen stools mojose match the gray upholstered dining chairs, while the kitchen cabinets bring a warm wood tone to the room.
The brandy color reappears in a padded bed design in the master series.
Beige bedroom rug easily merges with the wooden chevron floor.
Modern bedroom hangers are suspended on either side of the bed, where they complement the metal finish of two luxury liter units.
A pair of bathroom mirrors hang from the ceiling of the vanity area, where LED perimeter lights cast a comfortable glow.
Inside the modern nursery, a step platform lifts the child’s bed off the floor and provides storage space underneath.
Sky blue closets are built in at the end of the bed, where they adhere to a children’s workspace.

Exquisite Weekend House: Sapota Plantation in Northern India
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
On the outskirts of Bharuch, Gujarat, the dense 50-year-old Sapota plantations held both the main attraction and the biggest challenge in the design of this weekend house for the Shah family. Set within 800,000 square feet of countryside, the plot features 30 adult Sapot trees, which the customers wanted to preserve in all their glory. External link: Dipen Gada Architects devised a plan to form a 15,000-square-foot house around the mature trees, making them the main feature of the imposing home. A central courtyard houses one of these majestic trees right in the heart of the home, while another climbs through a picturesque balcony.
The exterior of the modern house is a red masonry linear mass, with an imposing brick staircase leading up to the front entrance.
The modern facade has custom-made metal columns and beams that contrast sharply with the exposed red masonry. The north-facing front façade has an abundance of openings with large deck areas arranged in advance to allow the homeowners and their family to connect with the landscape.
One of the mature Sapota trees is integrated into the entrance porch, where it bursts up through the courtyard and continues through the upper balcony. The house was designed to ensure that minimal trees were damaged so that the original beauty of the plot would be preserved.
Glass walls create the look that the whole house is part of the exterior, just as the customers wanted. The huge glass panels can be pulled back to create a more real connection, and achieve airflow through the home. The kitchen is an unconventional layout with a dominant huge island. A small butler kitchen is located at the rear of the room, where major cooking can be completed out of sight.
A cantilevered canopy above the outdoor dining room serves as the main balcony for the first floor.
An outdoor bench rests on the front terrace, perfectly located to look at the beautiful view created by the resident Sapota there.
A huge recreation space is located on the ground floor, which continues into the main hall. The multifunctional area is attractively surrounded by a unique perforated screen that features a jungle landscape and animals inside the perforated metal panels. The doors were initially introduced to prevent unwanted animals from entering, but now form a main feature of the house.
The decorative metal doors can be fully pulled back so that the room becomes fused with the landscape.
A swing seat offers a relaxed reading room within the shaded lounge area, and introduces a pop of playful color.
The front entrance leads directly to the central courtyard design of the home, where another fabulous tree retains its territory.
The business background of the customers in industrial manufacturing is communicated through the metal structural system of the home. The steel makes a bold counteraction with the organic elements that speak of the customer’s passion for living in nature.
The canopy of the tree reaches the full height of the home, where it bursts into the blue sky.
Walking down the glass corridor between the central courtyard and the balcony sets you up between the treetops. A seat on the balcony looks too dreamy and inviting to resist.
The home theater is located upstairs on the first floor, to the left of the courtyard. The theater room is furnished with a U-shaped modular sofa and a second row at the back to accommodate many guests who can even sleep in a pinch. A Dali light control system is used to dim the lights in the room at the film, or guests can watch from the air terrace, which opens to the northeast.
An external staircase goes up towards the pool deck.
Up on the pool terrace, mature trees grow a protective embrace around the property.
Two bedrooms open directly to the pool.
Behind the central courtyard, there is an internal staircase and elevator. Made of 10 mm folded metal plates, the staircase rises to two open roof slits, which cause a magical play of light on a piece of ceramic art by artist Devesh Upadhyay, and a desi-painting in Kalamkari art.
The first bedroom that connects with the pool is the master bedroom. Radhika Kacha’s dark blue moon landscape makes for a fascinating bedroom wall decoration. Wicker jewelry complements the visual warmth of the exposed red masonry.
Simple and practical furniture was taken care of by DAAZ.
The guest room is decorated with fresh green accents that drape the platform bed and brighten up a gray bedroom chair. An opening to a balcony and a modern ceiling fan cools the concrete room. See more unique ceiling fans here.
The bathroom is also colored with green accents that complement nature’s own color palette.
The house design was developed with Vastu’s foundations firmly in mind.
The red house contrasts brightly with the natural greenery that rushes up to meet it.
Floor plan. The central courtyard serves as the arrival point on the upper floor, which connects with the front deck area above the front entrance. On this level, there is also a service pantry, and the large home cinema with its huge deck area on the east side.
Plan of the ground floor. The tree pricked grand entrance immediately establishes the union between the natural environment and the man-made structure that forms this unique home.

A Traditional Kerala Style House From The South Of India
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Traditional Kerala architecture is a famous style of South India, which is primarily based on the science of carpentry principles which are known as Thachu Shastra, and the science of architecture & construction known as Vastu Shastra. A central, airy courtyard is essential in a traditional Kerala home, and that is why a pond edge courtyard design creates the heart of this 2400 square foot residence in Palakkad. Designed by i2a Architects for Mr. Rajeev & family, this house was created with a fundamental concept ‘Idanazhi’, which in regional language means corridor. The light-filled hallway establishes easy flow through every open area of the home, keeping family members close and connected.
The most distinctive features of Kerala style architecture are monsoon-resistant roofs that take long and steep, simple circular, or square shapes, the gable windows, and tall pillars.
Local materials characterize both the exterior and interior of the home with a combination of wood, clay tile, and brick. The local materials achieve a harmonious balance with the surrounding landscape.
The front entrance accepts a traditional Padippur design, which consists of a covered entrance that leads directly into the main part of the house. This modern version of the Padippura concept also includes a heavy wooden front door for extra security and privacy around the front garden.
The Poomukham, or entrance porch, represents the first interior space of the house. It is located under a sloping clay tile roof, which is supported by cement pillars. Once upon a time, the head of the family would settle on the Poomukham in a reclining chair, equipped with a thuppal kolambi (spit).
Mature plants and abundant lawn grow a fresh green border around the red brick house.
Raw gray concrete contrasts sharply with the clay roofs and red masonry that build an interesting layered effect.
A concrete planter brings flowering of the greenery from the front garden to the outside entrance of the home, to create a welcoming entrance for guests and extended family. Exterior lights illuminate the path to the front door.
Once within the traditional Kerala Style architecture, a more modern atmosphere brings the interior to the realms of contemporary home design. Elegant round coffee table design combines natural wood grain with trendy matte black finished frame. A lined upholstered sofa and chair set sharp silhouettes. A cut white wall paint makes a fresh contradiction to interior exposed masonry feature walls.
Clay muxarabi screens allow natural daylight to filter into the main hallway that characterizes the home. Light play changes according to the position of the sun.
The essential central courtyard of this traditional Kerala style house is connected with a smaller courtyard design that comes out from under a modern staircase design.
A shrub grows in the center of the main courtyard, where it thrives under an open roof window. A kitchen window allows an appreciation of the courtyard view and the natural light here.
Narrow ponds run along each side of the yard design, providing habitat for aquatic plants to grow and adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
A wooden deck chair is set up on the tiled floor of the courtyard as a place for the homeowner to come and relax, reflect or converse with family members in the kitchen through the open kitchen window. Another clay musharabi screen climbs to the full height of the two-story courtyard design, where it filters out the strong sunlight, offers a cooling breeze and forms an interesting sculptural element.
From the courtyard, we move through the main hallway of the home into the open plan kitchen and dining room.
Exposed red masonry walls instill visual warmth into the dining room. The wooden dining table and dining chairs carry a complementary reddish hue. The kitchen is a modern gray, white and wooden layout, with a smooth peninsula that separates it from the neighboring dining room.
The same red wood finish builds a modern staircase design throughout the home. Metal railings exaggerate the contemporary aesthetic.
Open levers allow a picturesque view of the basement courtyard to look through on the ascent to the upper floor. Muxarabi clay accepts natural light on the stairs and the indoor plants.
Custom cabinets form an entrance table with storage where colorful decorative bowls and vases are displayed. Next to this, a higher unit serves as a vanity area for the homeowners and their guests to clean up after entering the home.
The bedrooms are large and spacious with airy high ceilings. A Moroccan quarter-bed and a matching desk inject elements of a warm wood tone into the simple white decorative scheme. Wooden bookshelves are stacked over the home workshop to provide practical storage. A small piece of bedroom wall decoration adds some color over a pair of luxurious gray accent pillows and a matching bed throw.
In the second bedroom, raw gray concrete decoration builds a more grumpy atmosphere. A wooden reading chair is located under a high window to form a quiet reading song. Wooden liter units fly the bed with a cohesive matching tone. Small indoor plants punctuate the dark bedroom decor with moments of edifying greenery and soft texture.
An open masonry around the perimeter wall of the home reveals glimpses of the architecture and garden that lie inside and allows the homeowners to look outside from the lawn and the downstairs windows.

High-end furniture and richly toned color palettes create high-end spaces within these three polished Vietnamese homes. This high-rise image is peacefully balanced with pepper of green spaces inside, in the form of attic courtyards, hidden terraces and integrated indoor planters. The effects of Mother Nature dominate in the character and harmony of these interiors, evoking a sense of calm and encouraging a slower pace of life at home. In a fast-moving world, we should always have time to stop and smell the roses. There is also plenty of inspiration for impressive living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms, elegant bedrooms, creative outdoor living spaces and modern staircase designs.
A concrete living room builds a bold television wall treatment. Elegant modern media highlights the wall-mounted TV screen, while a stack of bookshelves builds a warm wooden tower.
White marble tiles flood clean, space expanding floor treatment through the living space and home entrance.
An impressive staircase design ascends to the second floor of the home amid a burst of lofty indoor plants that spring from a small indoor patio beneath the walkways.
A modern L-shaped kitchen surrounds the dining area with a row of contrasting gray and white cabinets.
The dining table is integrated into the side of the kitchen island to create one streamlined piece. A woven dining room hanger brightly illuminates the dining room. See more inspiration for dining room hangers here.
A square landing area is used as a home library.
Outside on the narrow terrace, a koi fish pond bubbles between raised planters filled with abundant shrubs.
Advanced planters also surround the balcony, where an outdoor dining set makes a perfect, shady spot for brunch.
A second bedroom is decorated with intricate brandy and a gray color scheme. Sebastian Herkner’s large floor lamp Oda illuminates one edge of the bed, while a smaller alternative illuminates the other.
A narrow shelf provides the simple TV wall, providing a cornice for a small decorative vase and some additional greenery.
The next bedroom is double with fully equipped furniture, which includes custom cabinets, a floating desk and a window seat with storage.
The platform bed also fits neatly into the furniture plan, with a custom base and headboard. A gray bedroom rug cools coolly against the warm wood tone.
Decorative vases add color to the TV.
This gray bedroom pattern is textured with a raw concrete headboard.
More custom furniture builds an untouched, bespoke aesthetic.
Illuminated bookshelves provide soft liter light.
A raised deck was covered with a plant-strewn pergola for shade.
The front entrance makes a smart first impression with a clear gray block entrance and a welcome outdoor lighting.
The home is stacked to combat the property’s narrow footprint. See some especially narrow properties here.
Next, this unique home interior has a character of its own that is evoked by unusual furniture silhouettes, a grumpy light scheme and a huge circular window that frames a peaceful green view.
The sculptural stool is the Spinning chair designed by Thomas Heatherwick for Magis. A small indoor patio echoes the curves in the furniture with its free-form border.
The rectangular dining table is set against a large indoor planter, which provides more opportunity for happy greenery.
A round roof window provides the plant with natural sunlight.
The skylight also brings extra daylight into the black kitchen design.
A circular slit on the side of the dining table completes the round skylight.
An outdoor bar was created right next to the residence as a place to socialize with friends and enjoy some air.
The bedroom is a serene space with a shared floor layout.

Polished Vietnamese Homes With Green Spaces Inside
Ideas For Your Next Project

The richness of wood has always formed desirable home interiors, from the traditional to the ultra-modern. Dark wood tones are particularly dramatic and lend themselves luxuriously to this collection of three contemporary home interiors. We will tour a fabulous high-end studio concept that is covered in elegant dark wood paneled walls. We will look at how to brighten dark walls in an apartment, where bright artwork and mirrored panels completely change the atmosphere for a young family. Finally, we’ll take a look at a home where wooden-clad walls meet raw gray microcement and the atmospheric golden glow of a backlit shelf around a tailored TV wall unit and a stocked storage wall.
Measuring 72 square meters, this luxury studio apartment is located in St. Petersburg, Russia. A modern sectional sofa dominates the studio layout, on a living room rug that visually and textually defines the separation of space between the sitting area and dining area.
Smooth, dark wood wall panels surround the apartment, with grating panels marking a decorative border around the base and ceiling lines. A small floor vase contains a burst of greenery that refreshes the dark dramatic wall treatment.
Floating wall shelves in the same dark wooden finish seem to protrude from the paneled room perimeter. A minimal collection of books and project objects barely covers their surface.
A thin, black floor reading lamp almost disappears against the dark surroundings, as does the black TV screen.
A door curtain surrounds the studio dormitory to hide it from the main living space. A curved curtain with a deep wooden mantle creates a pleasing sight.
Light beige sheets reveal only silhouettes of what lies inside. The light fabric allows some light to penetrate into the bedroom from the living room windows.
With the curtains drawn back, the bedroom remains clearly defined thanks to a marginally raised platform. The curved platform floor is constructed of dark wood to match the walls of the apartment, and encloses to fuse neatly with the paneled wall.
The curved platform is part of a tailored bed design. A bedroom lamp with a flat shade looks like a tiny bedside table.
Two hanging light fixtures hanging lights are paired over the length of a modern black dining table. These are the Model 2065 pendant lights designed by Gino Sarfatti for Danish brand Astep.
The lattice wood panels that line the walls are used under the dining room windows as properly perforated radiator covers.
A decorative glass fruit bowl makes an elegant, light-reflecting table centerpiece.
Beige upholstered dining chairs make a slight contrast around the edge of the black dining table, and work hard with the window sills.
The beige sheets fall neatly along the end of the kitchen run, which stops less than the wall for this purpose. A simple clear glass panel partially covers the wooden wall panels in the kitchen to form an invisible back splash.
A brass kitchen faucet warmly complements the rich wooden background. White base cabinets make a clean contrast.
A mirrored panel door leads into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, a white marble country sink adds a luxurious touch to a modern backlit vanity unit. A small round mirror adds a brass accent to complete the cabinet hardware and tap.
3D perspective drawing.
Belonging to a young family in Odessa, Ukraine, this dark wooden paneled apartment interior is brightened with mirrored sections and colorful wall art. In the lounge area, a round coffee table adds a moment of texture within the smooth surroundings.
A subtle brown chevron rug beautifully complements the text effect of the table.
An L-shaped gray sofa wraps around the edge of the living room, under a vibrant abstract artwork that burns orange and red.
A white capture wall brightens the bedroom project. A black bedside lamp makes a strong silhouette against the light wall, while a coordinating black jewel falls over the other floating bedside table. See more bedroom hanging lights here.
Chocolate sheets cover the brown padded bed.
Sliding glass doors surround a wardrobe, where open shelves and clothing rails offer organized storage.
A range of walls and shelves offer a variety of bedroom and screen options around the TV.
Unlike the rest of the home interior, the bathroom decor is happily bright in luxurious white marble.
The modern bathtub follows a fashionable racetrack sketch.
An illuminated vain mirror and an illuminated vain unit further brighten the white room.
Gray microcement walls meet with dark wood cladding in our final home interior. A modern chandelier drops skins into the center of the shady hall.
A linear TV wall joins with the dark wooden background. Illuminated shelves cut across the dark wooden mountain, adding gold glittering stripes.
More atmospheric light drips across a wall of wine storage in the dining room.
A small patio separates the food from the kitchen. The skylight above the courtyard brightly breaks the dark interior.
The L-shaped kitchen follows the same dark wood aesthetic as the wall panels to achieve one coherent surroundings.
Black marble builds the rear spout, main counter and wrap-around perimeter workbench. Pigeon kitchen bar stools gently soften the look.

Indonesian House: Light Playing with Stone and Concrete
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
As the future home of a designer couple, this project came into the hands of LINKS architects with some very specific homeowner requirements. The couple wanted to integrate their daily work environment as a fundamental piece of the puzzle, where it merges with the regular routine at home. Because of this desire for hard work and home life, the 375-square-foot house was built on two main functions. The essential home office is located downstairs on the first half-basement floor, with a welcoming residential area located on the upper level. It is here that a tall window envelops a toned double-height room, and an impressive windscreen brings an amazing sunlight pattern.
The modern exterior of this project uses a pattern of wind blocks that perform a decorative function both inside and out. The blocks were implemented to allow a generous influx of lifting sunlight to enter the double high living space, where the playful penetration causes an aesthetic play of light.
Planters face the home exterior on two levels, which work to blend the contemporary structure with its surrounding green landscape, thus mitigating its presence on the ground.
Large black gates reveal a shady glimpse of the terraced entrance inside. Elevated planters and outdoor lighting create a magical atmosphere to welcome the owners home, and create a lasting first impression on guests.
At the back of the house, the classic gable of a roof is brightly highlighted by a strip of exterior light around its edge. Massive windows break the side of the building, exposing happy sky views to those living inside.
A tall window wraps around the sloping roof above the double-height living room, exposing the space to clear skyscrapers. The room is further brightened with light decorative pieces in the form of a soft cream carpet from a living room and a modern sofa. Modern black wheelchairs add a dark score to the layout.
The wall of decorative windbreaks provides the living room with a unique focus. The wall is raised to allow access to the concrete roof of the car park, where a dry garden is planted.
The living area is a bit proud of the kitchen dining room, where a small lighted staircase gives access. The gabled roof encompasses the entire living space, making it possible to reach the ultimate ceiling height thanks to the slope of the slope.
The kitchen appears from behind flat fronts, with no cabinet door handles.
A mezzanine platform is built over the kitchen to better utilize the vast ceiling height in this area.
Access ladders climb up and over the hidden kitchen project. A sun-heated attic net makes a tempting place for rest and relaxation under a wide roof window.
The homeowner demanded that the project put a firm focus on accessibility to welcome their elderly parents who have walking challenges. Aesthetically pleasing accessible ramps were built to connect the floors instead of large stairs. The mid-level ramp optimizes and maximizes the available area in the house.
The semi-private living space is located in front of the house, with more secluded bedrooms to the rear.
The two living volumes are separated by a dry garden, which gives additional ventilation and natural light.
A peaceful atmosphere grows out of the inner garden, which feeds on a resting pause in the separation between the walls of the two masses.
The outdoor home entrance evokes the same feeling of rest with abundant green planting and bright light. Despite its cool raw concrete exterior, the home has a warm and attractive presentation. This forecourt is also the main garden for the home, although the rooftop gardens offer sweeter views and the courtyards surrounded between living volumes give more privacy.
The master bathroom is a darkly decorated space with a black bathtub. A glass wall toilet is installed next to the shower cabin in a smooth, sharp layout.
The bathroom as a whole is a glass-walled room that allows natural light to be borrowed from the bedroom windows.
A unique bathroom basin looks through the glass wall into the bedroom and the views beyond the outside windows. A capped faucet descends onto the shallow black sink. The dark decorative plan continues through the bedroom to achieve one coherent look.
A basement floor plan, including the main garden area with a terrace, a maid’s bedroom and bathroom, a universal room and the home office, which lives next to a convenient kitchen and dining room.
First floor plan with main open living room, dining room and kitchen layout. We also see a nursery and a guest room on the opposite side of the dry garden here, as well as a pantry and a small bathroom.
Second floor plan with the master bedroom and glass wall bathroom.
A mezzanine plan with an attic network, plus another roof garden located to the rear of the house.

Indonesian House: Light Playing with Stone and Concrete
Interiors With Pockets Of Greenery And Modern Staircases
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Interior patios add pockets of greenery to these two luxurious modern interiors, where modern staircases thread a line of luxury and elegance. The courtyards are small and arid designs, where mature cacti dominate with tall and interesting shapes. Home design number one also has a central terrarium for the family pet, fulfilling one beautiful and practical statement. The courtyard in our second prominent home offers inspiration for an indoor reflective pool that is traversed by luxurious white marble steps and flanked by striking modern art. In every home, we will discover inspiring stairs that show their full beauty with clear glass balustrades, highlighted under soft mood lighting.
In Cairo, this private residence has a large terrarium at the core of a luxury lounge. The pocket of greenery divides two vast living room areas that are flooded with natural daylight from surrounding windows.
A round Ottoman coffee table injects a black and white pattern into the center of the living room. Combined scatter cushions style the simple gray modern sofa.
Huge hanging lights drop clusters of light over the conversation seat.
A large area rug holds the living room furniture layout together. A built-in track lighting system draws a mirrored contour of the area carpet on the ceiling directly above it, creating the effect of a room within a room.
The living room space on the opposite side of the terrarium is an impressive double high room. Low relief decorative wall panel towers the entire height of the high void.
Two sculptural chairs are placed at the end of the room, where they silhouette against the bright window.
A striking modern chandelier blasts a bright brass accent into the gray and white decorative scheme.
A modern brass floor lamp elegantly matches the ceiling lamp.
The large hall stands open to a modern staircase with a clear glass balustrade. A small arid courtyard adorns the base of the staircase, adding some uplifting greenery, texture and natural interest.
A pet chameleon lazily explores the central terrarium, where he can pay attention over each side of the living space.
Abstract wall decoration enhances the staircase design, where circular panels appear to stand out from the same wall color. Some of the circular panels function as wall lamps that mysteriously glow through the glass railings.
The formal dining room is developed at the base of the open concept staircase.
Chic brass and glass pendant lights are paired along the length of the fashionable running dining table. Round-back dining chairs complete the modern curves of the table.
The modern kitchen is a pure white and textured wooden tone, accented by an elegant beige kitchen island.
Wooden kitchen accessories heat the white kitchen core and draw text connections with the housings of wooden grain appliances.
White marble kitchen countertops and roofs cover an appearance of luxury throughout the spacious layout.
A small glass kitchen table makes a light addition next to the window. A delicate white pendant light visually anchors the neat dining room in its place.
The circular modern wall lamps that illuminate the stained glass staircase in the living room also appear next to the concrete entrance staircase.
The modern home exterior is a linear white illustrated volume with huge slices that reveal the sky.
Glass balconies overlook the sparkling water.
Pure white veils filter the influx of bright sunlight.
Our second modern home interior benefits from an injection of bold color, in the form of abstract modern art over the sectional sofa. The rest of the living room’s decorative palette is peacefully gray and white, allowing the artwork to really shine.
The artistic infused seat is located in a quiet place behind the larger lounge, which makes it a great place for reading. Deeper in the center of the social space, a canal tufted sofa forms a comfortable arrangement around the TV.
A beautiful wooden cantilevered staircase project is illuminated along the steps. An arid courtyard grows cacti under the ascent of the stairs.
A mirror pool glows beautifully next to the underground stairwell, flowing a blue river to a piece of interesting photographic art. Complementary blue accent covers a Platner armchair designed by Warren Platner for Knoll.
The courtyard and pool share the kitchen from the formal dining room. White marble stepping stones provide a dry step between the two.
The kitchen occupies a high position that overlooks the surrounding living space.
Three black metal kitchen stools contrast with the white marble island. A strip of LED light illuminates the amazing marble vein.
A luxurious console table adds the white marble decorative element to the hallway of the home, under an attractive set of free-form wall mirrors.
In the first bedroom, a 4 poster bed with flowing white curtains creates a romantic look. See more inspiration for 4 poster beds here.
The second double bedroom features a uniquely designed bed design with a modern wooden tin headrest. A swing chair follows with the suspended theme at the window, where it forms an attractive reading angle.
The huge luxury bathroom has a double sink in the window, where tropical plants roll at the edges of tall bathroom mirrors and marble pedestal sinks. Colorful artwork makes an unexpected addition to the bathroom wall.
On the balcony, clean white sheets can be pulled to avoid bugs while the homeowners enjoy some TV in the fresh air. A white marble TV mount and media shelf build a luxurious interior-exterior feel. Curly white upholstered furniture arranges a dreamy ethereal aesthetic.

Mellow Modern White Interior With Earthy Accents
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Earthy green and brown accents pepper this soft modern white interior to evoke moments of warmth and freshness. Displayed by 振宇, a quiet sense of well-being and zen is born from an inner courtyard space next to the home workspace, and inner planters in the sunroom. Home accessories and wall decorations are minimal, leaving the contemporary furniture and the home layout to give the house its style and purpose. A huge free floor plan is subtly sectioned by a medium-height television partition, while built-in storage lines line the white walls. Bedrooms are large and luxurious with interesting textured wall treatments and relaxed mood lighting.
A large area rug adds a huge extension of deep texture to the floor of the open living room space. A tufted sofa is arranged in a two-sided arrangement, with one side of the seating facing the TV and the other directed to the window view.
The TV wall is a half-tone partition wall that subtly separates the relaxed living space from all the activity in the kitchen dining room.
Built-in warehouses join quietly with the white-painted walls of the living room. A backlit bookcase provides a dark contrasting moment at the sofa. A brown scattered cushion brings a matching accent to the sofa, which is a two-tone ivory and sage cross-sectional composition. Houndstoth cushion and matching throw add a bold bolt of black and white pattern.
An ultra modern white coffee table and a smaller wooden countertop are placed together in the center of the lighted lounge.
A crack of gray granite creates a short visual separation between the open concept living space and the fixed home entrance.
Green marble underscores another custom-made storage unit on the other side of the living space that plays a nice contrast against rich wood grain and clean white cabinet fronts. A smaller, comfortable seat is separated from the main living room by a short partition with a modern fireplace in it.
More warehouses are built in over the modern fireplace and its luxurious green marble fireplace. A delicate indoor plant sprinkles a complementary feather of fresh greenery next to an unusual perennial.
The multitude of warehouses continues around the room, broken by shelf niches and decorative slices.
Behind the TV partition, a corridor leads to the private bedrooms and bathrooms, and a contemporary light gray kitchen dining room is developed.
The dining room is a spacious space with a large dining island, a wet bar and a coffee machine.
On the formal dining table, a decorative vase makes an elegant, unpretentious centerpiece.
The kitchen is arranged directly opposite the dining area, with matching cool gray cupboards. The kitchen sink is placed on a peninsula opposite the dining island, while the hob is placed backwards.
Tan stools coordinate with the rich wood-tone partition.
Integrated kitchen appliances are hidden behind the peninsula.
An inner courtyard instills a sense of serenity in the workplace.
A set of sliding glass doors leads from the home office into a welcoming sunroom, where windows open wide to the breeze.
The main room is an air space with a tailored window seating installation that draws an L-shape under huge double-looking windows.
Wooden panels insert a warming accent into the wall of the headboard.
Delicate pendant light transforms the window seat into a reading corner.
A small side table offers a convenient place to lay a cup of tea or coffee while lost in the pages.
In the entrance to the second bedroom, floor vases adorn a small cornice that smoothly trims a wall of textured wall panels.
A textured bedroom rug sets the sleeping area, while a workshop stands separately at the window.
The desk chair is the Cesca President designed by Marcel Breuer in 1928, and named after his daughter, Cheska. The design was purchased by Knoll in 1968.
An abstract arrangement of cupboards, cupboards and shelves forms a striking volume in the next bedroom. A round carpet compensates for the linearity of the storage cube and the modern platform bed. The wooden panels form a wonderful enveloping wall and ceiling, which is accentuated by warm atmospheric light.
In the bathroom, a free-standing bathtub narrows in the light of the window.
A rusty wooden stool holds toiletries next to the tub. A glass chamber forms the toilet, next to a compatible shower with a ceiling mounted rain shower. LEDs form a ribbon of connecting mood light across the perimeter.
Towels are incorporated in an elegant concrete vanity unit. A mirror from floor to ceiling mirrors the entire room.
A set of backlit shelves is inserted into the marble partition wall next to the sink. A high vanity mirror reflects the light.

A Beautifully Landscaped Brutalist House [Visualized]
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A wood and concrete brutalist exterior shelter this 2900-square-foot home project, based in Houston, USA. Created by the architects at Robertson Design, The house Concrete Box hides a two-story home with a multi-level living space. The ground floor is a brutal concrete back room with a clearly comfortable essence that comes from luxurious upholstered furniture, attractive wood-clad elements and a functional kitchen located right at the heart of the home. Private courtyards and a large garden surround the cool concrete interior with beautiful landscaped views. Upstairs, the house is revealed to be a family home, with two children’s rooms and a serene master suite.
The concept of The Concrete Box was born from three main purposes. The first goal was to begin the experience with a choreographic entry sequence, the second, to maintain material clarity, and the third was to establish a bold sculptural presence.
The brutalist exterior of the house consists of three main volumes, which are a concrete box for the ground floor living space, a wooden box for the private bedroom and bathrooms upstairs, and a low concrete wall that surrounds a courtyard around the front entrance.
Only two windows pierce the front of the fort building, so that the solid sculptural element is interrupted as little as possible. Entrance to the home is made between the two overlapping concrete walls in the front. A courtyard sanctuary awaits between the solid walls that lead you to the front door.
A side entrance is disguised as a wooden lath window that looks into the courtyard.
The wooden gate aligns with a wooden lath window on the upper floor to create a cohesive aesthetic.
One push turns the long, wooden barred gate on its axis, giving access to the entrance courtyard.
The brutal courtyard walls are lined with elegant planting. Mounded ground cover gently molds the edge of the gravel walkway,
The side entrance gate facilitates access from the car park. Alternatively, a rear front door secures the carport to a mud room at the rear of the property.
A slideshow creates a welcoming snapshot of the interior.
Passing through a darkened entrance hall with a low ceiling, a thick walled opening leads to the high and brightly lit main living space. The open layout is sandwiched between serene views of a closed courtyard in front and a large garden behind. A multi-level floor creates a clear zoning between a sunken living area, a midway kitchen and an elevated dining area. A long row of storage cabinets serve as media in front of the sitting area and become kitchen cabinets at the end end.
A tan leather sofa and contrasting cream chairs make up the comfortable lounge space. A square coffee table provides a bold black visual anchor in the center of the opening plan. Behind, a skylight bathes the central kitchen island in natural sunlight. The abundance of natural light in the living space and open views into the courtyard and garden comes as a pleasant contradiction to the solid facade.
A long kitchen window overlooks a narrow perimeter garden that is large enough just to give a beautiful view.
The floor on one side of the kitchen island is higher than the other, which means the breakfast bar can be provided with a comfortable, children’s dining bench instead of bar stools.
The dining bench also reduces visual disturbances that are minimal at all times. The stone roofs in the centralized kitchen darkly complement the extreme black window frames at each end of the room.
Large doors behind the open concept adjoin the interior with the tree-lined garden.
Initially a concrete terrace extends the interior floor treatment to the exterior living space, before an attractive wooden deck takes over. The elegant modern outdoor chair seen on the wooden deck is the Easy Chair Grill designed by Francois Azambourg for Ligne Roset.
The contrast of concrete and wooden deck reflects the materials used in the construction of the house itself.
A sculptural focus is set at the end of the large garden, protruding from the shade of the trees.
Back inside the home, the modern staircase design has a striking single cantilevered concrete staircase at its base.
The rest of the stairs are solid wooden steps and lifts. A door to the first children’s room can be seen ahead, with a set of double doors leading into the washroom on the right.
A white lath railing extends to the landing ceiling.
At the top of the stairs, interior picture windows accept light from a bedroom.
A wide window blesses the master bedroom with a serene green view.
The private master bathroom is a large and luxurious space with marble tiled walls and tailored furniture.
The self-contained bathtub and shower are located inside its own bright and airy humid room. An enclosed toilet is located on the opposite side of the double sink.
On the floor plan for the home, we can see that the two children’s rooms are adjacent to a bathroom Jack and Jill. The master series is blessed with a huge wardrobe, as well as a massive bathroom.

A Beautifully Landscaped Brutalist House [Visualized]
A Tranquil Vietnamese House With A Courtyard
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A dreamy, nature-affected home stands on the riverbank of a small village in Hoi An ancient city of Quang Nam province, Vietnam, elegantly designed by lequang architects. Surrounded by a typical agricultural landscape, the 180-square-meter home was designed to quietly merge into the greenery of the local landscape. The homeowner is an environmental expert, and she wanted her son to grow up in a natural environment, and benefit from the living education that this experience brings. This house serves as a quiet base for such a way of life and also for the life of birds and insects thanks to a serene courtyard where small creatures can visit and find shelter among the bushes.
The beautiful courtyard design forms the beating heart of this peaceful home design. Glass walls open each of the living spaces to the soul a soothing sight of sun-stained green foliage, wild birds and visiting butterflies.
The wooden framed double glass doors are fully retracted to allow the interior and exterior spaces to be seamlessly connected. With the courtyard at the core of all living spaces, walking naturally finds its way through nature several times a day.
A deep blue accent color paints a rich coherence across all interior and exterior living spaces. The color creates a wonderfully contrasting background for the bright and diverse wood tones of the doors, furniture and trim.
A traditional regional rug lays a burnt orange base for the living area. A large and striking wall piece establishes a colored connection with the floor covering. A modern sofa refreshes the decorative palette with cool upholstery.
There is a vertical piano on the other side of the home living room where the homeowner and her son can ring the keys during the breeze from the connected courtyard. An elegant wooden and rotating lounge chair sits listening to the presentation.
The homeowner, Ms. Giang, sees her home as a mini-community center where she can arrange meetings with her environmental group.
Ms. Giang also arranges meetings with her neighbors here in this nature-affected home, to grow and nurture strong community bonds. A communal rural village lifestyle is what she hoped for when he planned his relocation here from the crowded city of Saigon.
A display of ceramic flower vases marks a convenient shoe storage buried beneath the edge of the courtyard.
Outdoor lights create an atmospheric glow across the foliage in the courtyard as night falls.
Wooden slatted ceilings create a comfortable cover over the interior spaces. A kitchen peninsula and elegant bar stools provide a comfortable dining area.
The ground floor rooms of the house are raised around the edge of the courtyard and include multifunctional elements …
… The floor of the main dining room also serves as a long bench for the garden.
Small raised beds arrange the garden as an interactive space to change plants and engage in light work for happily during remote hours outside.
The floor bench is a discreetly attractive place where neighbors come to chat at the edge of the courtyard garden.
The sunken dining room also serves as a place for work and collaborative teamwork. Natural rattan roller blinds can be deployed to offer extra shade when and where needed.
As the front entrance leads directly into the courtyard, visitors to the home immediately present the spiral organization of overlapping space. In the design, the house first inspired the traditional shop layout, as seen in Hoi An ancient city. This concept has developed into a coiled compound, such as a helical shell, that makes it resistant to flooding. The result is an immediate impressive first and lasting impression.
The upper gallery overlooks the courtyard and entrance through slender metal balustrade and beautiful wooden pillars. Inexpensive local materials were used for the attractive modern building.
Pre-engineered steel forms the structure on the ground floor, leaning against thick walls. The exposed structure of the house becomes a form of visual expression.
Internal and external boundaries of space are transformed and changed as they are retranslated within different everyday scenes.
The literal shape of the areas changes to accommodate the activities of the homeowner, her son and their visiting neighbors. The mix of spaces are just moments tied around the garden rectangle, which is always the main focus of the home and its changing purpose.
In a distorted site perimeter, the rectangular garden transforms the mass into a living being. In the words of the architect, “The house is like a tree, it creates different spaces, different shades, it becomes beautiful not only by the parts exposed to the sunlight but also in the parts that fade into the darkness. I think that the unification of a tree is how a ‘structure’ becomes an ‘architecture’. ”
This “rolled up” version of the traditional storehouse sees the space unfold gradually higher from the center, with the high retaining perimeter wall effective for holding the heavy rain. In contrast, the ancient storefront layout is linear with a series of courtyards that unwantedly caught the rain inside.

Abstract, linear volumes pile up to form a distinct modern 4266 square foot home for five families in Bangalore, India. Created by Spine Architects, the unique angular shape stands out sharply against a gray, densely populated metropolis. Pure white concrete and rich wooden cladding contain a dwelling based on the ancient architectural science of Vaastu, which embraces the advantages of nature. The interior spaces are simple, spacious and projected around two landscaped courtyards, each with skylights that flood sunlight into the openly interconnected floors of the house. The natural greenery brings a valuable exterior within the introverted urban housing, with trees that draw the eye up through the impressive void.
An illusion of floating piles is realized through cracks and openings around the modern home exterior, which gives the building its name “Floating Walls”.
The visually appealing structure is defined from the densely populated site by sloping white concrete walls that protrude from the front and side. Rich wood cladding looks warm and attractive under the glare of exterior lights.
The toned wood and clear glass elements juxtapose the solid white walls.
Unconventional slices swayed throughout the building to accommodate natural light and exterior views, while maintaining ultimate privacy.
Sun-seeking plants spring from behind the hidden walls of the home, hinting at the nature-centered design that awaits interior.
An impressive front entrance gate makes a smart and lasting first impression.
A layered verandah climbs to the inner front door, surrounded by lush green lawns and full plant beds.
The front entrance is a completely clear and seamless glass box, where the only frame is around the door itself.
Upon entering the apartment, we escape from city life behind a screen of tall tropical plants that filter out sunlight and spy eyes. The “casual” living room behind the ground floor is an elegant arrangement of project furniture with raised yellow and blue accents. A unique glass coffee table is raised by a striking rug. A chic store completes an Eames-style armchair.
Wooden clad feature walls echo the exterior aesthetics of the house. Tanned chairs continue the rich earthy tone to the dining room.
A Buddha statue designates a cult area within the first landscape courtyard project on the ground floor. A temple tree appears from behind the Puja, drawing the eye up through the multi-storey void to a skylight above.
The indoor plant eats sunlight from a large skylight. A glass wall welcomes the sunlight into the neighboring bedroom.
The skylight is positioned directly above the tree-lined courtyard on the ground floor.
On the other side of the living room from the first floor, a modern home office is arranged with a minimalist floating desk.
The glass wall room is decorated with a vibrant contrast of purple red and royal blue accent pieces. Fabric panels are installed to give privacy when needed.
Built-in shelf niches are lined with red cracks.
Each bedroom in the home gets its own unique identity.
Creating a bedroom chair and rug defines a small lounge area within this beautiful bedroom.
Intertwined interior and exterior spaces filter natural light and ventilation.
Upstairs on the second floor is a guest bedroom and a half-open terrace with a kitchen.
A traditional load carrying and counterweight system was used to drastically cantilever a series of 2 ″ thick Sadahalli slabs at a screen wall at the front entrance.
Ground floor plan, including formal and informal lounges, the kitchen, dining room and lounge, and the first of five bedrooms. The ground floor bedroom series stands complete with a bathroom and closet for the homeowner’s parents.
A mezzanine floor plan, including a bedroom suite with a wardrobe and a bathroom.

A Modern Japanese House With A Serene Courtyard
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A unique segmented layout defines this amazing Japanese home, belonging to a couple and their three children near downtown Shunan, Yamaguchi County. Designed by Hayato Komatsu Architects, the rooms of this unique home are sectioned into boxes around the edge of the site. Glass corridors tie up the volumes as they take on the green beauty of a large and serene central courtyard, as well as several smaller yards. The design was formed to realize all the wishes of the client without completely overriding the scale of the 807.03 square meter plot and the surrounding residential environment. The result is a space with a sense of unity and a deep connection with nature.
A steel enclosure door waits at the end of a short path that leads into the property, just off the main road. The modern door matches a frame of steel windows, which increases its scale and size.
The main main entrance door for guests is housed inside a wooden tin enclosure that extends to the roof line to increase its warm and text effect. The cool gray exterior of the home creates a tonal contrast that pushes the eye to the welcome entrance.
Glass roof panels let the blue sky into connecting corridors that connect each volume of the unique home design. Glass walls open the corridors to the courtyards, which bloom on both sides.
Once through the narrow glazed corridor, a huge living space opens up with towering ceilings. Huge windows bring natural light flooding over the rich wood tone and gray brick interior. Tailored bookshelves stack decoration up to the roof.
The two-story lounge puts a small, casual dining room into the lower half of the layout, while a luxurious lounge tops. A chic modern L-shaped sofa divides the upper floor between the living room layout and a formal dining room at the back.
A rectangular coffee table is located in the center of an understated gray carpet that balances the gray tile floor treatment in the tiny dining room.
A bistro pedestal table sets up the secondary dining room as a place for tea and light snacks.
Three steps down gives the area a pleasant, intimate feel that is enhanced by the presence of a wood burning fireplace.
Surrounding courtyard views bring nature rushing to the airy living space.
An outdoor seating seat lies in the welcome patio design. Free installation of wooden ceiling panels flows from inside the living room to the shaded overhang outside.
At night the courtyards light up to preserve the magical panorama.
The L-shaped volume pushes the kitchen layout just beyond the corner of the living room, giving it an unobstructed view of the luxurious courtyard.
A breakfast bar returns to the next connecting corridor from floor to ceiling glass. Three kitchen bar stools let the children contribute to dinner.
Wide expanses create the feeling of walking outside.
A stone walkway in the manner of a garden path was carried out inside the house, to rebalance an area where there are no exterior views.
In the main room, a thin floor-to-ceiling side window and a clerestory window ensure privacy. Furniture is minimal, with only a platform bed, bedside table, desk and IC F 2-style lamp. La original IC F 2 was projected by Michael Anastassiades for Flos.
Home library is secretly hidden.
The library also serves as a music appreciation room, with heaps of CDs and a sound system.
Shoji doors add traditional Japanese elegance.
The doors are pocketed in a deep wooden frame.
Even the bathroom overlooks a courtyard.
The courtyard next to the bathtub is elevated to improve the view.
Exposed wooden ceiling beams add a bold visual interest.
Authentic tatami mats dress the floor.
The material palette remains cooperative throughout the home.
Graceful shrubs soften the fort home exterior.
Wooden slat panels examine the connecting footpaths.
Rocky borders plume the paved driveway, leading to green shrubbery and trees that give only a slight taste of the natural bonds that surround the rest of the household.
Exterior lighting gently illuminates the plants and the welcoming front entrance door.
The secondary front door is gently obscured by small trees.
The central courtyard gives the segmented dwelling a general sense of unity.
Each yard differs in scale, sunlight and height, creating different experiences as one moves through the house.
The site of 807.03 square meters holds a building area of 444.59 square meters, resulting in a total floor area of 471.24 square meters. A parking garage holds up to four cars at the front of the building.
The final layout of the rooms was decided by imagining many everyday situations and likely future lifestyle changes.
