Opaque facades hide interior courtyard of Utah’s Host House by Kipp Edick and Joe Sadoski

A central courtyard brings daylight into an inward-facing, cedar-clad home in Salt Lake City that was designed by American architects Kipp Edick and Joe Sadoski for a ski coach.

The Host House sits within a residential neighbourhood in Utah's capital, along the western front of the Wasatch Mountains.

Host House is clad in vertical slats of cedar

The client was the late Alan Hayes, a computer engineer who helped establish the local Rowmark Ski Academy. Hayes passed away in 2019, but the project continued and was completed last year. The home was sold in August to a new owner.

For decades, Hayes provided mentorship for young skiers, many of whom he hosted at his home. His protégés included alpine ski racer and Olympic medalist Tommy Moe and road-racing cyclist Levi Leipheimer.

Minimal openings keep the interiors private

To design his new residence, Hayes had contacted two architects whom he had mentored years ago – Edick, cofounder of Architect Associates in New York, and Sadoski, a project manager at Signal Architecture + Research in Seattle. They aimed to "create a spatial expression to help and encourage room for students to grow".

"Creating space to host kids was a central concern in the design of this home," the architects said.

Host House sits on a long, slim plot

Long and rectangular in plan, the two-storey dwelling stretches deep into a relatively slender lot. Host House totals 4,460 square feet (414 square metres).

Facades that are visible from the street are mostly opaque, thus concealing the home's size and interior activities. The entrance facade, which looks west, features a solid black door and no windows.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens on to an internal courtyard

"The client was a very private individual who supported a design approach that located the glazing in specific zones of the house to provide ample daylight and privacy," the architects said.

The limited glazing also helps reduce solar heat gain during the summer, when temperatures can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), the team added.

Light enters the interiors from this central opening

Exterior walls are wrapped in rough-sawn, western red cedar that has been attached with a rainscreen system. The same siding clads the garage door on the south elevation. When closed, the door seems to vanish and merge with the surrounding walls.

In contrast to the closed-off exterior, the interior appears to be fluid and open.

A wall of glazing brings light into an open plan living area

The ground level holds the public areas and a master suite, while the upper floor encompasses two bedrooms and a lounge. A small basement contains a wine cellar, food storage and a utility room.

Upon entering the home, one steps into a 110-foot-long (34-metre) corridor that runs along the north side of the plan.

"All ground-level spaces and the stairs extend off of the corridor for a clear circulation diagram," the architect said.

At the heart of the main floor is a landscaped courtyard, which is encircled by glazed walls that usher in natural light. Beyond the courtyard is an open area for cooking, dining and lounging.

"The homeowner valued observing a set dinner time, so the dining room became a central space," the team said.

Garage doors fit flush to the side of the house

The second level is accessed via a stairwell illuminated by a skylight. The upper floor is meant to act "as a separate wing of the home, where guests can experience privacy while still being connected to the public spaces of the house".

Throughout Host House, the team used a trio of contrasting materials – white oak, blackened steel and polished concrete.

"White walls reflect light and provide a blank backdrop for the client's art collection," the team added.

The wooden facade folds to reveal the garage

Designed to be a net-zero building, the residence has a range of sustainable features. Among the passive strategies are a high-performance building envelope and triple- and quadruple-pane windows.

Active measures include a ground-source heat pump for radiant heating, a heat-recovery ventilation system and a nine-kilowatt photovoltaic array. Moreover, smart controls help manage shading devices and operable skylights.

The house was built for a skiing instructor and has plenty of ski storage space

The residence also has a 3,000-gallon (11,356-litre) cistern that stores rainwater for irrigation purposes.

"The homeowner was very open to innovative efficiency ideas," the architects said, "and willing to invest in solutions that would pay off over time."

Known for its rugged mountains and scenic vistas, Utah is home to a number of distinctive, modern-style buildings. Other projects there include a sprawling residence by Olson Kundig that consist of three pavilions connected by covered walkways, and a series of cedar-clad chalets by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple that form a mountaintop retreat.

Newport Island Beach House

  Hello, my friends! How are you doing today? I hope you’re having a nice and sunny day!

It’s a real pleasure to be sharing this newly-built Newport Island beach house designed by Eric Aust Architect (recently featured on Home Bunch here: Newport Beach Bayfront House), built by Clayton Builders, Inc. and with interiors by Julie Clayton.

Things certainly have changed when it comes to beach house design since I started the blog ten years ago, and I feel that this change is even more evident in California. Beach houses are now more modern, with clean lines, and they feel more uncomplicated. You can certainly credit the “modern farmhouse” trend for this big change and I don’t think this will change anytime soon. In fact, in my opinion, this mix of modern and rustic architectural details is an important progress that is happening in the architectural movement of the late 2010’s going into the 2020’s era.

Here, the designer Julie Clayton shares more details about this specific new home: “We took our inspiration for this project from its idyllic location: a quiet manmade island tucked away on the Newport Beach Peninsula The home has ocean and bay views, is a quick walk to the beach or bike ride to Lido Marina Village. We worked with Eric to design and build our take on a modern beachhouse making sure to highlight the views with an expansive rooftop deck for entertaining.”

Take notes on all details below and have fun pinning your favorite interior pictures and save the floor plan shared at the end of this post! This home would work perfectly on any smaller lot, anywhere in the country.

Modern Bathroom Designs For 2021 And Beyond

A free-standing tub compliments a large walk-in shower with all the special features modern bathroom designs describe.

Combining efficiency and style are the driving forces behind modern bathroom designs. As new home construction and home remodeling bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic homeowners continue to favor multiple bathrooms and larger bathroom suites. If you’re looking for bathroom renovation ideas for your Waukesha WI area home you’ve come to the right place.

Young homeowners know a busy lifestyle revolves around a modern kitchen. And, they know an efficient well-thought out set of bathrooms get a busy day off to a smooth start. Older homeowners planning to make their current residence their “forever home” want efficiency, too. Defined as easy to keep clean and easy to get around in. Their ideal home has a bathroom on every floor so there are fewer steps to negotiate.

The desires of old and young are promoting bathroom inspirations from every angle. Designers are taking into account the latest technology in:

Plumbing fixtures and fittings

Toilets and lavatories

Bathtubs

Shower design and construction

Sinks – multiple installations plus designer styling

Vanities and cabinetry

Floor and wall coverings

Ever-increasing water cost and threats of drought lead to development of products using less water – toilets use less per flush and shower heads with lower flow rates are top selections. Water conservation is one element driving technology. Comfort is another. Walk-in bathtubs, step-free shower surrounds, touchless faucets, programmable temperature settings in showers and under-floor heating are all popular advances.

Trends In Modern Bathroom Designs

As you scan the many resources for bathroom renovation ideas several changes are evident. One of the most popular changes moves from large, jetted bathtubs to smaller, stand-alone soaking tubs. The old-school shower in a bathtub has given way to walk-in showers. Consider these basic bathroom features:

Tubs and sinks – stand-alone tubs and unique water basis are show-stoppers among modern designs. A sink need not just catch water, it is an artistic touch in the bathroom. Capturing the glamor of a bygone era, the claw foot soaking tub is all the rage. Tubs and sinks come in colors, various materials and styling to fit everything from an ultra-modern space to a bathroom full of country charm or North Woods cabin chic.

Stand -alone tubs are versatile. Install them in the middle of the room, in a corner or against a wall. Whatever suits your imagination and the space you have.

Sinks, too, come in many variations and are easily designed to look like stone or concrete. High-end metal and glass sinks add elegance to performance.

Double sinks and unique installations are in demand. If there’s enough room in your new bathroom, putting the sinks in a kitchen island style vanity is a trend that’s growing.

Showers – depending upon the space you have, a shower within a bathtub configuration is still a popular choice. However, the trend is to open up showers as stand-alone features you walk into. A walk-in shower with or without doors is the way to go to stay with the latest trends – and increase resale value in your home.

Open-concept showers with multiple heads, built-in seating and niches for the must-have supplies are in demand. Special lighting, temperature-controlled fixtures and even sound are high-end options.

Bathroom Tile Options

Unique materials and fixtures turn even a small bathroom space into an efficient and elegant room.

Whatever your goal for a new bathroom there’s always one priority: It must be easy to clean! Tile is the go-to material for floors, tub surrounds and showers – anywhere water is likely to splash. Modern tile manufacturing techniques opened doors to unbelievable designs, textures and color combinations. When you’re going “all in” on a bathroom remodel you want the very latest and greatest, right?

When it comes to bathroom tile it’s all about detail. Neutral colors form the basic palette allowing for more accent colors. But, anything goes from basic white to black. Textured tiles subtly play with light and shadow and mirror tiles speak of spa-like luxury. A word of caution: dark walls make small guest bathrooms and powder rooms seem even smaller.

Terrazzo is a historic material that’s back on track with designers. It’s a mix of natural stones, cement and marble. It works almost anywhere from walls to countertops. It’s ideal for floors and shower walls. Terrazzo is available in a rainbow of color combinations.

There are time-tested materials and designer choices that never seem to go out of style, including:

Marble – it goes anywhere. Small tiles created distinctive patterns while big pieces are ideal for floors and shower walls.

Subway tiles – the true building blocks of most bathroom applications these sturdy tiles come in various colors and with new colored grout add a new dimension to an old style.

Among the newest tile choices, wood-look tile planks remain popular for bathroom floors and shower walls. They are especially valuable for large spaces.

Small Bathroom Equal Big Potential

Your Waukesha home may not have room for a spa-like master bath addition. Or, you may already have one. When it comes to making the most of your home’s bathroom potential don’t undervalue a small guest bath. Or even a small bathroom adjacent to your master bedroom. You don’t need a suite to enjoy all the benefits of an up-dated space.

Actually, there are benefits to remodeling a smaller space. For starters you can afford more high-end materials since you’ll use less. In a small space you provide accents with custom-designed sinks, creative lighting and specialty fixtures. A designer sink transforms a basic vanity into a real piece of furniture and provides the “cool” factor for visitors. You don’t need a big footprint to really express yourself.

Where Modern Bathroom Designs Take Shape

Whether you’re planning to expand the footprint of your home to include a spa-like retreat, update your existing master bath or redo a small bathroom your choices are plentiful. So are the challenges. A few minor changes here and there might be do-it-yourself projects. Most are best left to professionals. A professional’s training and skill is worth it for an amazing result, isn’t it?

When you’re ready for a bathroom renovation, call upon the licensed and skilled plumbing professionals and Schoenwalder Plumbing. Our certified plumbers make installing fittings and fixtures look easy. And we’ve got a vast selection of everything you need to make your new bathroom perfect. Call 262-542-7908 to make an appointment and visit our showroom to see for yourself what’s hot and exciting for modern bathroom designs in Waukesha WI and throughout the Lake Country.

The Best Interior Planning Advice In The World

New Post has been published on http://mydecoradvice.com/decor_ideas_from_web/the-best-interior-planning-advice-in-the-world/

The Best Interior Planning Advice In The World

Many people want to increase their home’s value by having it stand out. Many, however, do not understand interior decorating. Read this article for some great interior planning tips!

When you are putting together a home office make the most use of the space you have. Lighting is a very important part of an office, and so is the chair and desk. To make a place that you want to spend time in while working, implement some design choices that have visual appeal.

Think of the purpose of the room before you design. For example, a colorful palette of primary colors is well-suited for a playroom or child’s bedroom. Use more subdued colors in a library where serenity is the goal.

TIP! Think of the purpose of the room before you design. A child’s room could be decorated with colors that are lively and vivid to coordinate with their personalities.

Keep your room’s lighting in mind. Consider the natural light available when choosing a paint color. Choose lighter colors for rooms with less natural light as darker colors may make the room feel cramped.

For the best way to display your art in any room, remember to hang the art at eye level. Hanging art in the wrong places can cause your guests to strain their necks.

If you are redesigning your kitchen, think outside the box when it comes to counter tops. Granite has always been popular, but interesting materials such as wood and cork can work well too. They can be less costly than other options and will give the kitchen a unique style of its very own.

Before you start any design work, decide what mood you are going for. Moods can extend from bold and exciting to tranquil and soothing. Selecting a mood prior to starting will help you map out your decisions for your space so that you are more likely to achieve the feel that you want when you finish.

TIP! Pick a mood or theme you want to have going on in your living space before beginning a design project. You can take your room in an exciting, vibrant direction or keep things calm and serene.

Try to be reasonable when redecorating your living space. While you may have some eclectic ideas, make sure that you do not add something that may be permanent if it is only be a passing interest. If you are going to put your home up for sale in the near future, then having crazy decor could prevent potential buyers from purchasing your home. If really want an unusual room, use items that can be removed easily.

If you have a very small space, you might want to consider adding a mirror or two to the walls. Mirrors make any room seem much larger, which helps to give the look and feel of your home a much bigger presence. Make the perfect mirror a part of your living space.

Do not neglect to think about the traffic your room gets when placing furniture. You should place furniture appropriately throughout the space in order to make it easier for people to maneuver. Although you want your home to look beautiful, it also needs to be functional.

Don’t buy a designer brand of anything unless you have to. Top of the line decor can cost an arm and a leg, but you may find cheaper alternatives without the designer name brands. Only buy designer brands if similar items cannot be found at a lower cost.

TIP! You can lower your design budget by opting for quality pieces from big-box merchants. When you find high-end decor that you like but doesn’t fit your budget, search for a similar piece of a different brand.

You may not even consider it, but a basement is a great place for interior planning. The basement is usually the darkest part of your home. Go ahead and give your basement a better look with brighter colors and by adding in a mirror or two.

Planning any type of interior decorating project requires a lot of work and preparation. You must consider the available space first. Seek out furniture and accessories that have more than one use. The right lighting can also make a room appear bigger.

If you want to hang artwork on the wall, make sure you do not hang it too high or too low. Try placing it around 8-10 inches from the back of your couch.

Getting rid of clutter is the first step towards interior design. Virtually every house needs a thorough cleanup from time to time. Empty your closets and get rid of anything you no longer need. You can donate your extra things to a charity or even have a garage sale!

TIP! De-cluttering is the best method of preparing for a home renovation project. Nearly ever home could benefit from having a good clean-up.

A great thing to remember when it comes to interior design is that consistency is key. Rustic furniture and a modern fire area, for example, are not looks that will gel well together in the same room. Settling on a single, cohesive theme ensures that the finished product achieves the desired look and feel.

If you only have a little bit of time and money to redesign you space then all you need to do is paint the walls. Walls often start becoming drab after a while and need a fresh coat of paint. Adding a new color to your walls can spruce up any room.

If your room is short on light sources choose a shiny, reflective flooring that will reflect what little light there is in the room. Hardwood and white tile are just two options for reflective floors that you can use. Any of these selections will brighten your room. Avoid dark matte wood finishes or carpets and rugs for they will absorb the light making the room even darker.

Only listen to some of what professionals say regarding interior design. Following the advice of others instead of listening to your own desires will leave you with a home the reflects the interests and tastes of someone else.

TIP! Many experts have advice when it comes to designing your home. You should consider what they are saying, but you shouldn’t completely rely on them.

A great addition you can make to your office or living room is a library or a simple book shelf. This is both sophisticated and practical. also, always ensure that any bookends and blankets match the overall color scheme of the room.

A suggestion for livening up older rooms is installing a skylight. Skylights will open up rooms and bring the light inside. Skylights are a great addition to any home, and this is why you want to add in something like this.

If you’ve got a small home, you can have multipurpose rooms where everything fits together. For example, some homes use one area for both the dining and living spaces. To fit such a set-up, the ideal dining room table would be one that matches the decor of the living room as well as the dining room. If you can, shop for items for both areas at one time, including matching accessories that will tie the two spaces together.

When re-designing a kitchen, try thinking outside the box in regard to counter tops. Granite has always been popular, but interesting materials such as wood and cork can work well too. You might save some money by going this route, and you will create a unique look in your home.

TIP! Step outside the norm when you consider the look of counter tops in your kitchen design plan. There is always the popular granite to consider, but also think about using non traditional materials such as cork, concrete or wood.

A valuable decorating tip is to avoid leaving large open wall space in your home. You should be hanging something on those bare walls. It will add interest and character to the space.

You want to eliminate clutter at all costs. Collect all of your clutter and place it in a rented storage unit. If there is plenty of space outside, you might consider purchasing a storage shed.

In some cases you may be able to remove ceilings in order for your rooms look bigger. Especially if there is an attic which isn’t getting much use. This can be removed and your ceilings can be raised. Your space will appear brighter when you raise the ceilings because you will have more room for light to fill up.

Follow the trends if you want to be a good interior designer. You wouldn’t want to be known to have a home that is out of date. Don’t be afraid to peruse interior design blogs, magazines and television programs for inspiration.

TIP! For quick and easy inspiration, it helps to stay abreast of interior design trends and themes. If you do not know what is considered normal in this age you can end up with a home from the eighties.

As the above article has demonstrated, adding a fresh, exciting look to your home’s interior doesn’t have to be hard. Use these steps to make your home a worthy pace to return to. You can make your dream home come into fruition once and for all with the tips laid out here.

Gorgeous Modern Indian Villas With Courtyards

These two stunning modern Indian villas, created by architect Moriq, each feature peaceful courtyard designs within them. One has a combination of green space and a multi textured floor, which acts as a border of privacy between the entryway to the home and the main family living area. The second features a pivotal water body that greets the family when they come home, and welcomes in guests. A connective bridge between living volumes on the the first floor overlooks the reflection pool and lawn, and a projector screen that provides outdoor entertainment. The two tours also feature impressive interior spaces that are steeped in contemporary elegant luxury.

Villa number one is located in Hyderabad, with an area of 7500 square feet. The build follows the traditional Hindu Vastu shastra system of architecture, and has been fashioned to fit a single family. The linear north facing plot has an open plot to the south; neighbours are at home on the east & west sides. A simple white concrete modern home exterior guards the hidden luxuries within.

Just outside of the front gate, there is a boulder with the name of the house upon it, written in Hindi. The name given to the house is ‘Shanti Dham’, meaning ‘a peaceful holy place’.

Once beyond the gates it is clear to see why the home is thought a peaceful and holy place for the homeowners. A combination of simplicity and understated luxury shapes the home, and allows the family to remain grounded and be close to nature. It is a direct translation of the personality of the well travelled and elegant couple.

A tree from the neighbour’s compound has been integrated into the landscape design.

The main feature of the home is the modern courtyard design that lies between the front yard and the living room. Because this is a north facing plot by vaastu principles, the living space had to be placed to the north east side. Any entry from the north east side would encroach on the family’s privacy, so the interior courtyard between the front garden and the lounge was introduced as a buffer zone.

The courtyard design imitates the natural landscaping that surrounds the home.

The courtyard floor is made up from interlocking sections of wood effect tiles. white marble slabs, pebbles and natural stones from Pondicherry. Custom louver doors make up the boundary, composed from MS frame and natural wood.

The ground floor consists of a dining room, a dry and wet kitchen with utility and storage space, and one of the bedrooms with an attached deck area.

Mature trees have been retained in every part of the natural space.

An outdoor dining space is available for use just outside of the interior kitchen diner.

The modern dining room extension runs straight off of the kitchen island.

Roof plan, with skylight.

Ground floor layout.

First floor layout, including a living area, three bedrooms, a study with balcony, and a puja room for worship.

Second floor layout, including a home theatre, gym, lift lobby, powder room and a generous open terrace.

Our second tour also takes place in Hyderabad, this time in a home with a total area of 17006 square feet. The massive plot facilitates a home design that brings together a large joint family, whilst still providing each member with their own personal space.

The most challenging part of the planning stage for the family was to come up with a solution that would best use the large linear shape of the plot. In the end, the first quarter of the plot was allocated to the family elders who requested an independent studio apartment so that they could have a space of their own.

A reflection pool fills the connective exterior space, along with green landscaping. The beautiful vista welcomes you to the family home.

Concrete slabs are arranged in an irregular design in the water filled courtyard. The patio is lit around the edges to accentuate its jagged shape.

Boulders jut out of the still waters, and create a border around a lush lawn.

Brothers live with their families right across the lawn from each other. A semi-formal living room, complete with a bar, opens onto the lawn to create a prime social gathering spot. There is also a projector here that converts the lawn’s wall into a large screen – perfect for parties and the IPL cricket season. The projection wall can be viewed from various points in the house, including a bridge that connects both the houses.

Beautiful bespoke pieces fill the home with a rustic meets luxury aesthetic.

Neutral backdrops fill the spacious interiors, which bask in sunlight.

The neutral palette is uplifted with colourful home accessories, like bright blue and green scatter cushions in the living room. Stunning wooden pendant lights descend from a double height ceiling. A unique fan cools the air from an architectural support column.

Unique nesting coffee tables bring in an eclectic vibe, and work perfectly with a patchwork concept rug.

A modern accent chair is framed by a beautiful tree in the courtyard. Informal living and dining areas and a guest bedroom fill the rest of the ground floor.

Upstairs, identical double height master bedrooms and bathrooms are situated right next to each other.

A swing arm wall lamp illuminates the bathtub, which stands on a bed of white pebbles.

Double vanities are located behind a partially dividing wall.

A motorised sun roof can be opened above the tub.

The bathing area is open plan to the bed. There is also a double story closet space in the master suite, to facilitate a progressive wardrobe.

Cool distressed walls and metal framework create an industrial style bedroom. A Flos Mod 265 style lamp extends over the crisp modern bed. Original is available here.

A duo of bedroom pendant lights hang beside a curvaceous bed inside this suite. A modern lounge chair fills the window.

The daughters room sits across from the master bedroom suites, with a small informal seating area in between. Colourful poufs and a teepee make playful decor. The bed features a study area beneath. See more ideas for kids’ beds.

Stone tiles texture the powder room.

The staircase design follows the industrial trend.

The bridge walkway that connects the first floors is furnished with inviting soft sofas, which make a sociable evening tea spot for members of the extended family.

Exterior lighting keeps the volumes connected by night.

Potted plants colour the white concrete exterior space.

Designing Bathrooms & Ensuites

Bathrooms are a surprisingly recent innovation. For centuries, a tin bath kept on a hook in the kitchen, an outside privy with a ‘guzunder’ and a washstand in the bedroom were considered perfectly adequate for an ordinary family.

However, after the Victorians installed public plumbing and drainage systems, the convenience of moving such amenities inside the house was soon appreciated.

It wasn’t long before these functional spaces presented a new opportunity to introduce a bit of luxury to the home.

The bathroom also offers self builders and renovators the chance to get creative, thanks to the array of finishes and appliances available to transform the bathroom into a stylish area.

Bathroom size & location

Deciding on the size, location and number of bathrooms is a crucial stage when putting together your new home’s floorplan.

The traditional approach of one family bathroom upstairs and a WC downstairs has had its day. Ensuites can be squeezed into comparatively small areas, as it’s now popular for all bedrooms have access to their own bathing quarters, sometimes with no shared bathroom.

Large format Oxide Silver tiles have been used to cover the walls in this modern bathroom. The units are priced from £96 per m2 from Stone & Ceramic Warehouse

If space is limited, a Jack and Jill arrangement (where one bathroom is accessed via two bedrooms) can be a clever solution. The locking system can be set up to ensure privacy for occupants.

If the first floor is not large enough for everyone to have their own ensuite, a shower room on the ground floor can work well. This space also doubles as a good place to wash the family dog, if needed.

Read more: Bathroom Design Ideas for Renovators

The number of bathrooms needed will depend on the unique preferences of the individual household, with factors such as family size and the amount of guest rooms coming into play.

In addition to a main bathroom, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes should usually encompass one, two and three ensuites, respectively.

Practical pointers

Few of us give much thought to what happens to the waste that disappears from our homes into the sewer system. But we are forced to confront this aspect of the bathroom when the positioning and layout of the zone is calculated.

It’s important to respect the mechanics involved in the removal of waste to achieve an efficient, blockage-free solution.

A bath tub that’s freestanding is the perfect addition to your home’s spa-like bathroom retreat. Priced from £1,655, Albion Bath Company’s Neptune Slipper design infuses the space with an opulent vibe

It is possible to use pumps or run boxed-in drains along the ceiling, and occasionally this is unavoidable. However, more often than not, they can be designed out.

There are several key limitations to bear in mind as you strategise your layout. The largest diameter drain is needed to connect the toilet, so smaller pipes from other appliances typically flow into that conduit, including shower trays raised above the floor level.

In situations where the shower basin must be at floor level – such as in a wetroom – one option is to have the drain buried into the flooring rather than having a separate shower tray.

It can simply be built into the concrete, or for timber floor structures you can thread it through the joists.

A waste pipe running at skirting level can be concealed with boxing, but cannot cross a door unless there is a step, which is inconvenient and a trip hazard.

Bathroom layout essentials

Most people prefer the WC to be close to a wall on one side so it’s simple to hang a roll of paper within easy reach. A standard shower works best in a corner with at least two solid walls and a curtain or glass sheet on the other sides.

Washbasins usually need to have a mirror above them, so should not face a window. Also, bear in mind that any draughts could leave you feeling chilly whilst in the bath, so tubs are best placed away from fenestration.

Bathroom Takeaway’s Homely white wall hung vanity and basin is priced at £219.97. Wall-mounted units work well in compact rooms; maximum flooring creates the impression ofa larger space

Once you’ve worked out the ideal locations for the appliances, remember to leave enough space around them for easy access.

Anyone who has stayed in a budget hotel will be able to confirm that it is possible to fit a shower, washbasin and WC into what initially seems to be an impossibly compact area. This is partly down to the fact that modern appliances are much smaller than before.

Space saving solutions

If the door to the zone opens outwards or slides back into the wall, the room can be shrunk even further.

This space-saving approach is very successful for tight ensuite zones – however, the opposite strategy should be adopted if you’re keen to establish a bathroom with an opulent feel.

While the day-to-day purpose of the bathroom is to provide a user-friendly, functional space, this area of the home also offers the chance to create an aura of seclusion and tranquillity.

A capacious, clutter-free environment is crucial to set the right mood. Ambient temperature and humidity are also important factors to consider. The more control there is over these elements, the easier it is to ensure comfort for whoever enters.

Underfloor heating is undoubtedly an asset because it reduces draughts, creating a cosy warmth underfoot. While the electric version is relatively expensive to run compared to water-based piped systems, it comes into its own in a bathroom.

Designed by Cecilie Manz, Duravit’s Luv series exudes a timeless feel. The basin is made from DuraCeram, a material that can be moulded to create sleek edges just 5mm thick. This is available in three different sizes, with an optional glazed coating on the exterior

Because this type of dry setup can reach a warm temperature relatively quickly, it can be switched on for just a short period of time that you’re using the space and switched off easily when no longer needed.

Mechanical ventilation is essential to remove unwanted odours, steam and humid air, especially in winter when there’s a higher risk of condensation. A concealed unit that works in the background, quietly and continuously, will ensure that a serene state of mind is not shattered by a loud setup.

A heat exchanger can also be fitted to recover the energy from warm air as it’s extracted.

Products & finishes

Ceramic tiles are an excellent choice for the walls, as they will happily endure constant soaking.

If your budget allows, it can be worth spending a bit more on them to add a touch of glamour to your bathroom.

Large tiles are currently en vogue – typically, they cost more to buy but interestingly less to install. Consider integrating small, bright mosaic tiles to add further aesthetic interest.

How your floor covering will feel beneath bare feet should also be considered. Ceramic tiles (not the wall versions) win here again, because wood floors are liable to move when wet – unless you opt for a more impervious timber species, such as bamboo or teak.

Durable and hygienic, a solid Staron counter top will infuse your bathroom with elegance. The covering is grout-free and therefore easy to clean. The material costs from £350 per m2. Right: Priced from £28.99 per m2, units in Gemini Tiles’ Palace collection are available in various sizes for use on walls and floors

Carpet is harder to keep clean and may not be practical somewhere with a high risk of water being splashed around. Vinyl is another option and comes in an array of colours and patterns.

Remember, however funky a floor looks, the most essential requirement in this zone is for it to be non-slip.

Read more: Choosing Bathroom Tiles

When it comes to specifying products, lighting is another area that will require some serious consideration. The bathroom moves through a variety of moods and functions throughout the day, so planning a layered illumination scheme that ticks all the boxes is essential.

From a practical point of view, light from a main fixture in the centre of the room or ceiling-mounted mini spots will provide the brightness you need for everyday grooming.

Task lighting or LED strips around the mirror will be useful for putting on makeup or shaving.

For a relaxing evening bath, you can establish a more mellow mood by integrating dimmer switches and reflected light, plus a warm glow from strategically placed candles.

An ideal house is composed of a structure, functional, and finishing components. Consequently, choosing a house plan is one part of the process of designing your dream home, you have to select other components, and they should complement the other parts of the house.

The best knock down rebuild Melbourne

Whichever knock down rebuild house plan you choose, it is vital to select roofing, fittings, inclusions, and décor that matches and accentuates the design of the house.

Roofing

The roof is the third component of a building’s structure, it protects and emphasises the architecture of the house but can also be energy producing. From an aesthetic point of view, the choice of the roof should improve the overall beauty of the house. From a regulatory standpoint, the choice of the roof should meet not only the requirements of the local council but also your neighbourhood. If you live near a historic monument or in a classified regional park, you do not do what you want as regulations control the type of houses that are in that region. The law may well require some type of roofing, and also a specific shape, dimensions and/or colour.

From an environmental point of view, the roof reduces energy costs thanks to good insulation. As you can see, choosing your roof is subject to considerable thought.

You should consider the aesthetic, regulatory, environmental, and durability qualities of the roof before making a choice. There are many roof options out there; an easy way to sieve through the options is to check if they pass the criteria listed above while considering your budget. Although, most house designs are paired with a preferred roofing material that complements their design, which can help narrow your search to just the design and quality of the default roofing style for the house plan you choose. For example, Hampton style homes traditionally use roof shingles for roofing because roof shingles provide better aesthetics than most roofing materials, especially architectural shingles that have 3D effect with varying tones and patterns.This type of roofing material is ideally matched to the top 4 knock down rebuild plans to highlight the beauty of the home. Roof shingles have the advantage of being efficient, cost-effective, easy to install and come in a variety of colours and styles. Make sure your knock down rebuild builders use GAF roof shingles.

  Flooring

The floor is the surface of the house on which we walk. A good floor should be appropriate to walk barefoot, for children to play without risk and it should be easy to clean. When choosing your flooring, consider the dominant weather condition in your region as well as your budget, and quality of the flooring.

A hard and well-finished floor is easy to clean and reduces the presence of some bugs and odour. There is a great variety of finishes for the floor: tile, stone, concrete, wood, granite, among others. Based on your tastes and budget, you can decorate the floor either with coloured tiles, with different shapes and sizes, or create a simple and natural finish.

Doors and windows

The doors and windows are the points of entry or exit for animate and inanimate things. When they are closed, they give privacy, isolation, and protection. When they are open, they allow access and air circulation. The design value of doors and windows are often overlooked or underemphasized, but these components of a house contribute to the overall beauty of the house.

The doors and windows are key in the decoration of your home. These sections make up an important part of the personality that the house will have, and that is why it is essential to make a correct selection with which you feel comfortable.

Depending on your priority, there are many types of doors including; PVC folding doors, wooden doors, armoured doors and more. Each type is designed to provide basic insulation from outside noise and security, especially; bulletproof doors, they are designed mainly for safety.

Similarly, there are varieties of windows in the market. Your choice should be made based on budget, quality, and aesthetics (colour, design, and material).

Every component of you choose for your home should contribute to its security, strength and design. Using inferior or weak materials in any part of the house, especially within the structure can cause structural issues in the future. That will lead to frequent maintenance, in worst cases, a complete rebuild. Choosing quality materials is always the best approach to rebuilding a home.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram Our “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” is going all the way to Australia today! I can’t tell you enough how much I love that country! I have many amazing readers from there and have even had some clients from Australia and because of that, this new “BHI” feels extra special for me. Sharing Ali’s, from @urban_farmhouse_build, stunning newly built home will be a treat for all of us! Ali and I have been talking about this feature for some time now. You guys have no idea how hard she worked to have her house ready. She really wanted the pictures to be good and she did all she could to make the home look amazing. I honestly can’t thank her enough. The feature couldn’t get any better, Ali! As you will see, the soothing color palette makes Ali’s entire home feel calm, serene and stress-free and who wouldn’t love to live in a place that has this kind of feeling? Read on to know more about this talented homeowner and her inspiring home. “My name is Ali and I was so delighted when Luciane invited me to share our home with you on Home Bunch. I have always loved interior design and architecture, and have so enjoyed the creative process of designing and building our family home. We live in a small town in the Southern Highlands (1.5 hour drive south of Sydney, Australia) with our 3 children. We had been lucky enough to have the opportunity to build our last house, which we loved, but it was a large country block further out of town, and we found that the long trek from home to school was wearing thin. We dreamed of finding land closer to town, but that still had a rural feel and open vistas that we had so enjoyed in our last home. We finally found what we were looking for, but there were a couple of hurdles to overcome – it was more land than we wanted to look after, and it was prone to flooding. Two years later, after a subdivision and endless earthworks, we could finally start building our home. I often think what on earth we did for inspiration before the internet. Sites like Pinterest, Houzz and Home Bunch where a great source for ideas, and my husband John and I luckily shared the same vision and kept saving the same pictures – white board and batten modern farmhouses. Whilst a common feature in the American and New Zealand houses we loved, board and batten is not often used as a building material in Australia and we were keen to use something a little different. Standing seam roofs were also a regular feature in our “dream home” pictures, and an overall aesthetic that was a clean, contemporary interpretation of classic farmhouse style. Luckily we found an architect who was great at translating our dreams into affordable reality and we finally started building about 2 years ago. The build, although slower than we hoped, went very smoothly and we moved in a little over a year ago. The process of decorating has been a slow one, and is still not finished! We had some favourite pieces of furniture from our old house, but much of it didn’t fit in size or style, or had not survived the young children stage. Finding the time to source the finishing touches remains a challenge, but I’m trying to be patient! It’s such a lovely house to live in, bright, cozy and comfortable, and we are so enjoying just being here. The garden is also very much a work in progress. We planted a “stage one” garden when we moved in so as to have some instant grass for the kids (and pets!), but plan to expand on it with more beds and trees in the coming months. A small guest/pool house is also in the pipeline for the beginning of next year. John and I have so enjoyed the process of building our home that since finishing it last year, we have joined forces in a commercial venture, subdividing another block of land and building 3 spec homes. They are in a similar “modern country” style and have been a wonderful opportunity to use many of the ideas and finishes that we didn’t get a chance to use in our house. They were well received and sold quickly, so being the gluttons for punishment that we clearly are, we have recently purchased a new block of land in town and look forward to next year’s project of building two more cottages (past project photos are on Instagram @copelanddevelopments). I find that my style is constantly evolving, so it’s very rewarding having the opportunity to start from scratch and design something new each time. When I’m not designing houses I love to paint, and I’m also involved in local theatre – acting, directing and set designing. It’s taken me until my 40s to realise that as long as I’m doing something creative, I’m happy!” Beautiful Homes of Instagram White Modern Farmhouse Black Front Door Paint Color: Dulux Domino. Paving is flamed granite. Front door lanterns from Beacon Lighting – Southhampton Large Wall Bracket. Farmhouse Garage Paint colour is Dulux “White Verdict” Half Strength. Barn lighting from Barnlight Electric. Kitchen Having had a white kitchen in our last 2 houses, I was keen to do something different. I had always loved Martha Stewart’s Bedford Grey kitchen, but as it is unavailable in Australia, went through endless paint samples trying to find a similar shade of “greige”. We used Dulux “Narrow Neck” in Double strength. Countertop The countertops are 40mm honed Carrara marble. Breakfast Nook This stunning grey kitchen opens to a bright breakfast nook with banquette. Isn’t it dreamy? Faucet & Backsplash Tapware is Perrin & Rowe “Io” in satin nickel from The English Tapware Company. Similar backsplash tile can be found here. Lighting Lights are the Eldridge Pendant from Ballard Designs. Flooring & Hardware The flooring is engineered oak in the colour “Cannes” from Preferences Flooring – similar can be found here. Handles and pull are the “Duluth” range in satin nickel from Restoration Hardware. Open Feel The kitchen opens to family room with board and batten fireplace and vaulted tongue and groove ceiling. This is just stunning! Layout A peninsula divides the kitchen from the dining area. Dining Room Dining room light is the Large Rectangular Linen Shade Pendant from Restoration Hardware in “Sand”. Living Room We love the high raked ceiling in this space and the open floor plan, which helps the room feel bright and spacious. The barn doors are a favourite feature and were custom made for us by the builder. Wall lights above oak shelving are Boston Library lights in antique nickel from Circa Lighting. Fireplace is faced with Buxeuil Limestone. Paint Color Paint colour is Dulux “Snowy Mountains” Half Strength. Linen sofas are from Molmic Sofas. Pillows Pillows from Boho Pillow and Walter G. Lounge Room We call this our “night room” as it is were John and I retreat to after the kids are in bed. I wanted to make it more intimate and cozy than the living room by using timber paneling and textured wallpaper. The furniture is all from our old house which we have had some time. I’m hoping to eventually update some of the pieces, but in the meantime, it’s a very comfortable place to curl up and watch TV. Similar coffee table can be found here. Decor Wallpaper is Thibaut Coastal Sisal in “Aqua”. Paintwork is Dulux “Snowy Mountains” Half Strength. Wood weave blinds are the “le Blinde” range from Peter Meyer. Linen curtains from Raffles Textiles. Sisal carpet from Natural Floor Coverings. Coffee Table Decor I love how Ali decorated her tray. Powder Room I wanted to do something whimsical and fun in the powder room and so took the opportunity to use one of my favourite wallpapers, the “Woods” design by Cole & Son. Similar round mirror can be found here. Flooring In keeping with the monochrome palate, I used a small gloss white penny round tiles on the floor and a black and nickel “Bistro” wall sconce from Restoration Hardware. Snug This is what we call the kids hang out space. I recently purchased these gorgeous pillows from Boho Pillow, which has really made the space. I’m really hoping they look after them! Coffee table from Pottery Barn – no longer available. Concrete top coffee tables can be found here & here. Grey Sectional Sofa from Sofa Studio. Paint colour is Dulux “Pukaki” half strength. Rug from Temple and Webster. Tray Tray from West Elm. Kids Bathroom This stunning bathroom features a large curbless walk-in shower with freestanding bath. This is perfect to bathe the kids and not have to worry with the splashes! Feature wall is Carrara Marble subway tiles. Vanity Cabinetry is painted Dulux “Snowy Mountains” Half Strength, bench top is Caesarstone “Fresh Concrete”. Cabinet pulls are the “Aubrey Pull” from Restoration Hardware. Barn light from Barnlight Electric. Similar round mirror can be found here. Similar wall mount bathroom faucet can be found here. Master Bedroom My favourite colours are all blue/green greys and I knew I wanted to paint our bedroom these tones as I find them so restful. The bedroom gets lots of sunshine and with it’s wood paneling and garden views it is a wonderful sanctuary. Paint is Dulux “Pukaki” half strength. Quilt Linen quilt from Pottery Barn. Nightstand Decor Bedside lamps from Bloomingdales Lighting. Beads from McGee & Co. Bedside tables are from Coco Republic. Pillows Pillows from Walter-G Textiles. Dresser Chest of drawers is from Coco Republic. Similar mirror can be found here.

Newport Island Beach House

  Hello, my friends! How are you doing today? I hope you’re having a nice and sunny day!

It’s a real pleasure to be sharing this newly-built Newport Island beach house designed by Eric Aust Architect (recently featured on Home Bunch here: Newport Beach Bayfront House), built by Clayton Builders, Inc. and with interiors by Julie Clayton.

Things certainly have changed when it comes to beach house design since I started the blog ten years ago, and I feel that this change is even more evident in California. Beach houses are now more modern, with clean lines, and they feel more uncomplicated. You can certainly credit the “modern farmhouse” trend for this big change and I don’t think this will change anytime soon. In fact, in my opinion, this mix of modern and rustic architectural details is an important progress that is happening in the architectural movement of the late 2010’s going into the 2020’s era.

Here, the designer Julie Clayton shares more details about this specific new home: “We took our inspiration for this project from its idyllic location: a quiet manmade island tucked away on the Newport Beach Peninsula The home has ocean and bay views, is a quick walk to the beach or bike ride to Lido Marina Village. We worked with Eric to design and build our take on a modern beachhouse making sure to highlight the views with an expansive rooftop deck for entertaining.”

Take notes on all details below and have fun pinning your favorite interior pictures and save the floor plan shared at the end of this post! This home would work perfectly on any smaller lot, anywhere in the country.

Things certainly have changed when it comes to beach house design since I started the blog ten years ago, and I feel that this change is even more evident in California. Beach houses are now more modern, with clean lines, and they feel more uncomplicated. You can certainly credit the “modern farmhouse” trend for this big change and I don’t think this will change anytime soon. In fact, in my opinion, this mix of modern and rustic architectural details is an important progress that is happening in the architectural movement of the late 2010’s going into the 2020’s era.

Here, the designer Julie Clayton shares more details about this specific new home: “We took our inspiration for this project from its idyllic location: a quiet manmade island tucked away on the Newport Beach Peninsula The home has ocean and bay views, is a quick walk to the beach or bike ride to Lido Marina Village. We worked with Eric to design and build our take on a modern beachhouse making sure to highlight the views with an expansive rooftop deck for entertaining.”

Take notes on all details below and have fun pinning your favorite interior pictures and save the floor plan shared at the end of this post! This home would work perfectly on any smaller lot, anywhere in the country.

A Lush Modern Tropical House In Kerala With Indoor Greenery

By the Chaliyar river in Malappuram, Kerala, India, the CAER project is a reimagined modern day fortress that melds with its tranquil tropical surroundings. Measuring 3950 square feet, this serene home has been designed by Encasa Archstudio to encompass natural beauty at every turn. A single story of interactive spaces fulfill the homeowners’ wish for family time, whilst private quarters are boldly shielded behind solid concrete and a jungle of Elephants Ear. The lush green indoor spaces offset the raw exposed concrete decor and rugged rubble walls. Wooden elements and a decorative clay tiled ceiling add rich tone and texture to the luxuriously large living space, where natural light floods through impressive gable windows.

The single story house sits low in the lush landscape, its pitched roofs nudging toward the height of nearby trees.

The tropical house showcases a beautiful wall of planting as fanfare up to the front entrance.

A covered porch gives shade to calling guests, and for the homeowners themselves to relax by the front lawn and look out upon their serene village green surroundings.

Transitioning from rustic pathway to wide concrete steps, the exterior of the home provides a first taste of what is to come once inside of the home, where rugged rubble walls and fine concrete finishes await.

Parallel pathways bed an interesting design into the grassed yard.

A combined concrete and wooden column design creates a touch of grandeur on the front porch.

A huge pivoting door is perhaps the most impressive feature of the front entrance, and instantly elevates expectations for what lies beyond it.

Concrete is replaced by wood flooring planks for just a moment in the front entryway, to warmly define the threshold of the home.

A rubble wall builds a great deal of texture into a snug lounge area, where a yellow settee sends a bolt of sunshine across the dark stonework. Potted indoor plants carry the outdoor aesthetic into the home in a small way, but there are larger and more abundant green spaces yet to come.

Indoor plant beds are set directly into the polished concrete floors of the open plan home, which creates the feeling that the house has been built around the flourishing landscape, leaving it blissfully undisturbed.

A perfectly pristine courtyard grows a manicured lawn and a small tree beneath a sun drenched skylight. Horizontal metal bars create beautiful light play across the boughs and a moody raw concrete backdrop.

As the sunbeams change direction throughout the day, so do the wonderful light effects.

A step up onto polished concrete once more takes us into the vast open concept living space.

A small coffee table provides a quick visual stop, before the eyes roll on to rest at a large formal dining area.

Blue upholstery sets the modern dining chairs apart from the rest of the neutral living room decor, and provides the first moment of a calming accent colour that weaves into the kitchen space too.

Custom made dining room pendant lights descent from the pitched ceiling above the dining space, where great gable windows bring in the sky.

The live edge dining table carries a beautiful natural aesthetic, which elegantly complements another courtyard tree, this time situated just outside of timber frame sliding doors.

A live edge dining bench breaks away from the formal dining chair style, and serves as an observation bench for the second courtyard’s pretty view.

The two courtyards greenly border the dining area on each side. A collection of assorted vases draw greenery to the table.

Clay roofing tiles were inverted and reused as decorative ceiling tiles, creating a wonderfully warm pitch to the cool concrete living space. Electrical conduits were hidden in the gap made between the roof and ceiling tiles.

A downplayed TV wall has been created off to one side, with a basic wall mounted TV set and a floating wooden media shelf unit. Modern technology does not win over Mother Nature in the starring roll of this green interior design.

Trellis runs along the north side of the living space to manipulate light intensity, and to accept a cool breeze.

Elephants Ear seeks the sun.

The large kitchen has a restrained linear installation of understated wooden cabinets and clean white countertops. A table has been arranged at the heart of the kitchen for family breakfasts. Modern blue stools provide a vibrant moment in the subdued setting. Automotive paints were used on the kitchen walls in place of tiling in order to maintain the home’s unique texture palette.

A concrete wall and a small jungle of Elephants Ear rule a line between the interactive living space and the bedroom quarters.

Wooden pocket doors slide a neat partition across the row of private bedrooms.

Minimalist decor bestows a fresh and cool feel within the sleep spaces that is perfect for the hot, tropical climate.

Tiny courtyards with indirect roof top ventilation communicate the tropical theme even within powder rooms. Geometric tiles add a stylish essence.

Because the sit-out area and the zoning of the living room and kitchen are oriented along the north-south direction, they benefit from the sun’s early rays. By night, exterior lighting sets the polished porch aglow.
