Dream Homes

Call it the the ultimate bachelor pad or a dream home, this is how Hollywood’s “House of the Year” looks like. Put together by the talented folks at Temple Home, the breathtaking 7,000-square-foot structure is the perfect blend of drama, design and innovation. Nestled close to the most shining stars in Hollywood Hills’ best, the lavish home is packed with technology up to its teeth. There’s a CinemaScope theater with a JBL Synthesis system, a 7.1 Sonance architectural speaker layout in the family room and a separate video game room with a triple-screen auto racing simulator and a flat-panel TV. Perfect for a young actor or maybe a talented director, we salute the modern furnishings, the outdoor pool area and the gorgeous scenery that it’s part of. SOLD! - via

The Italians from Zalf are renowned for their modern furniture, but today we laid our eyes on their latest teen room designs. With bold lines and vibrant colours, the rooms suit as great inspiration for anyone trying to redecorate the kids room or are looking for furniture that suits a teenager . They all come with contemporary furnishings, have an eye for details and look stylish enough for an adolescent to love its own space. I wish I had one of these bedrooms when I was a kid. Like it? - via

What do you do if you live in a place where temperatures go down to -10C during winters and over 40C in the summer? How about a private house like this one in Chihuahua? Developed by Mexican-based architects from Productora, the house is part of a golf club community in the desert, northern part of the country. Hence why it’s partially buried into the mountain slope to take advantage of the soil’s thermal mass. When looked from the outside it’s perceived as a single height volume, but when you get inside things change. Organized around a series of patios and roof openings that provide light and ventilation, the interior is minimalist styled with contemporary furniture and large open spaces. An amazing concept, isn’t it?
