We really enjoy seeing homes in which nature elements are integrated. Today’s home was renovated by Christian Speck of Formzone and has a particular and genuine charm. Located in a beautiful village in the Swiss Alps, this house combines modern design aspects with amazing rustic elements, creating an unparalleled atmosphere. Some of the rooms of these house are entirely contemporary, without any uncommon addition- while others have stone walls integrated and wooden rustic elements. Some of the doors are absolutely fascinating, reminding of the world as we know it from decades ago. The terrace is a place where the owners can enjoy the amazing views of the Alps, while having their breakfast at the beginning of the day. What does this home make you think about?- via Desire to Inspire

The initial idea of this project is to integrate the house in the natural environment of the residential area in which it is. In that way, the house looks to the fantastic views of lakes and green extensions that spread over the common areas of the estate. The structures house is based on game of two rectangular volumes. They are solving with clean finishes, good materials and exclusive qualities. The verandas and the pergolas, elements as volumetric as the housing, give personality to the facade. The covering as such disappears turning into a flat roof as expression of the evolution of the creative process. The forms purity moves to the constructive scheme, to the materials and to the environment impelling the union between the building and the context where it is located.

The housing, of 800m2 of surface, develops in a height. The principal access adapts itself to an area of average slope.Inside the following stays are located: foyer, room of kitchen is, dining room, office, larder, a cleaning of courteousness, seven bedrooms (with his respective baths, two dressing-rooms and a patio. In the later part, across big large windows, there is lounge that is opened for the garden, the swimming pool and for the natural scenery that offers the urban development. It surrounds itself with a landscaping realized with attractive interventions composed by lakes, birds and a big arboreal extension. In the exterior the pedestrian ways and the central landscaped area incorporate a vegetation of indigenous character, resistant to the climate of the area. The stockades of every plot and the trees and shrubs planted along the same ones, they delimit perfectly the transit between the private ownership and the community one.

Sometimes apartments don’t always come with the right amount of windows. This means daylight is scarce. Daniel Rybakken is a young designer from Sweden. Living in Northern Europe, a place where natural lighting is limited throughout the year,Daniel studied the effects the lack of light has on people. As you probably already know, sunlight is associated with happiness for physical reasons also. His recreation of daylight could have a very positive effect on unconsciously changing the mood of the people looking at its effects. Moreover, as we already stated, this is a wonderful idea for tight spaces with no windows. His project was present at the Salone Satellite 2010 Milan and is nominated for the The Swedish Design Award”. Nice going!-via Yatzer
