| Wonderful Residence for and by Architect Paul Bernier: The Bernier-Thibault House Posted: 17 Mar 2011 06:17 AM PDT Canadian architect Paul Bernier has added to his portfolio a wonderful residence built in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood of Montreal, Canada. Featured on HomeDSGN, the residence known as the Bernier-Thibault House is home for the architect and his family of four. “We wanted to create a house filled with natural light, appeasing, and thought with the day-to-day life in mind. So we had to extend the house and preserve the quality of the garden while working around the various zoning bylaws.” Two glass and wood volumes were added to the original home, making room for the extended family. The box placed in the garden serves as a playroom for the children, while the other box shelters the master bedroom and is located on top of the building. “That box on the roof acts also as a light well for the house below. The west corner is completely glazed and an opening was made in the floor below to allow the natural light to flow in and filter all the way to the ground floor through the semi-transparent wood trellis bridge of the second floor.” Light and air are free to caress the interior spaces and everything created inside has special features: the kitchen has a 270 degrees view on the rest of the house, semi-transparent screens allow the light to flood the building and steel and wood stairs connect the three floors.

| Steve Burns’ Stunning New York Residence by Mesh Architectures Posted: 17 Mar 2011 02:58 AM PDT Designed by Mesh Architectures, Steve Burns’ new Brooklyn residence is a 2,100-square-foot bachelor pad created for the enjoyment of the resident and his guests. The former host of the children’s show “Blue’s Clues” wanted to live in an open space, suited for his new found love: music. By keeping only three brick walls of the existing structure, the architect created a modern space with amazing features, like the catwalk on the second floor. The main rooms of the house – master bedroom, bathroom and living room/kitchen – all have access to the private courtyard with a deck created from salvaged Coney Island planks. The converted garage became an amazing house with the help of Eric Liftin at Mesh Architectures, known for repurposing old materials. The interior courtyard was cut into the shape of the structure in order to beneficiate from fresh, open air without breaking the zoning regulations.

| Seating for the Wild-Tempered: Saddle Bag Chair by Merkeled Posted: 17 Mar 2011 01:45 AM PDT Have you ever seen a chair with so many add-ons? The saddle Bag Chair comes from Portland-based studio Merkeled and has a unique, cowboy-ish appearance. According to the designers, the furniture piece “explores the juxtaposition and integration of manmade and handmade. The walnut ply fabricated using the precision of a CNC machine and the vegetable tanned leather handcrafted and molded using traditional techniques. The saddle bags come through the top of the seat and function as a housing for books, newspaper or magazines.’ Original and eye-catching, the Saddle Bag Chair could be a great addition to a slick contemporary living room, next to other minimalist wooden furniture elements. Its design can give the room an intriguing, wild and unconventional touch.

| Inspiring Two-Room Apartment with a Delightful Interior Design Posted: 16 Mar 2011 11:54 AM PDT With each new Swedish apartment we present on Freshome, we feel our design knowledge and aesthetic sense upgrades substantially. Even though they are different in the lines of design elements and arrangements, these Scandinavian cribs are all spectacular. For today we would like to showcase this beautiful two-room apartment located in Gothenburg. With a living area of 59 square meters, a large living room open towards the kitchen and a bedroom, this home is nothing less than charming. The living room is the core of the apartment, featuring a large welcoming sofa, a coffee table and colorful pillows. All these make for a warm atmosphere and turn it into an open area for socializing. An unusual white bench works as a delimitation unit between the living room and the kitchen and is of great visual effect. We invite you to look over the rest of the design elements in the photos below and get inspired by the ones that would suit your crib the best.

| Creative Office Inspired by Aircrafts in India by Kamat & Rozario Architecture Posted: 16 Mar 2011 10:33 AM PDT We received some photos and information of a highly original office design by Kamat & Rozario Architecture and located in Bangladore, India. Here is the full description from the designers: “Ananya Technologies was an experiment in using atypical materials. This was a workshop corporate office of a company that manufactures miniature electronic parts for defense aircrafts. The products manufactured here became an inspiration for the design of the space. The plan of the space was conceived as an integrated circuit board, which was an integral part of their products. The colour coded pipes crisscrossing the ceiling connect various hubs in the space and are reminiscent of the tracks in a circuit board. The pipes travel along the ceiling and vertically along walls to create a 3 dimensional idea of the circuit board and simultaneously double up as electrical conduits. The coloured pipes in the ceiling also helped in circumventing a false ceiling thereby reducing the cost significantly.
The client needed to document and archive each and every product they manufactured. For this they required huge storage which didn't need to be readily accessible. They also required about 30% of the floor to be left bare and open for manufacture of larger components. We decided to lift the storage off from the floor and inhabit the space below it. A conference room was envisaged below a metal storage loft hanging from the ceiling. A corrugated MS sheet was suspended from the slab to serve as storage. This served a number of functions – a large amount of floor space got freed up, and the volume of the conference room was reduced enough for efficient air conditioning. It also avoided huge amount of cabinetry.”
