Exclusive Beverly Hills

Exclusive Beverly Hills Residence Offers Lovely Terrace Views And Luxurious Interiors

Contemporary homes are as much about the view outside as they are about the warm and inviting atmosphere inside. The Wallace Ridge home in Trousdale Estates, Beverly Hills is a charming blend of both these elements as Whipple Russell Architects employed lavish décor and striking color palette to bring in a unique look to the house. Nestled in a hilly terrain and surrounded by a lush, green canopy, the home sports tasteful and sophisticated interiors which are as appealing as the view outside.

A beautiful metallic staircase connects the outdoors directly with the lavish terrace space that promises unabated views of both the woods and the city skyscrapers in the distance. Step into the living room below and you will easily notice how rich, dark coffee brown wooden surfaces have been added to offer a visual contrast to the white walls. Unlike in case of most other contemporary houses, the Wallace Ridge also incorporates furnishings in darker tones, instead of going with the pale white and grey options.

The spacious dining room, a modern kitchen, a home bar and plush bedrooms await you inside. The patio with an open fireplace, a refreshing pool and plenty of deck space allows you to enjoy many an evening outside while taking in the numerous sights and sounds of the surrounding landscape. Large glass windows and sliding glass doors also keep those inside visually connected with the world outside at all times. Refined and refreshing in its outlook, this Californian residence is for those who love to enjoy life at their own relaxed pace! [spotted on: freshome]

Stunning Lighting and Stylish Interiors Grace House Tat in Johannesburg

We have already showcased some gorgeous contemporary homes from Nico van der Meulen Architects and House Tat in Johannesburg is another one of these in this fabulous line of modern residences. Located on the side of a hilly terrain and surrounded by green canopy, the home offers some wonderful views of the city below. Sleek and stylish to the core, the interiors of this affluent home are as appealing as the façade on the outside.

With large and flowing spaces, ergonomic décor and innovative lighting, House Tat floors you with its distinct and dazzling look. Lighting plays a pivotal role in highlighting and elevating the interiors of most homes conceptualized and brought to life by Nico van der Meulen Architects. This signature style is pretty evident in House Tat as well as large pendant lights, recessed lighting and track lighting combine to add a warm and inviting charm to the residence.

The concrete beams that are lit ever so elegantly make up the ceiling of the living space and steal the show with ease. Plush décor in white and grey is used throughout and walls in muted tones bring in the contemporary style. Stone and glass are the elements that are largely utilized with wooden surfaces being sporadic and largely relegated to the kitchen and the deck space on the outside. A refreshing pool, ergonomic modern kitchen and luxurious bathrooms complete the home.

Sliding glass doors in the bedroom and large floor-to-ceiling glass windows employed throughout offer unabated views at all times while bringing in a sense of light and airy freshness.

Elegant Victorian Residence

Elegant Victorian Residence In Melbourne Gets A Classy Contemporary Extension

We have seen some beautiful houses located in historically significant neighborhoods get a modern makeover without disturbing the façade of the existing structure. Coming from Down Under in Melbourne, the Armandale House is another gorgeous example of seamless fusion between the classic and the contemporary.

The task of adding a fresh extension to this Victorian house was entrusted to the architects fromJackson Clements Burrows who did an impeccable job of striking the perfect balance between the interiors and the exterior.

Original front elevation of the home was kept intact while incorporating brand new interiors that included two new upper level extensions that provided private quarters for the adults and the children separately. While the stylish lower level sports a living space that is connected visually with the backyard and a dining area, the top floors house the bedrooms which offer lovely views along with ample privacy.

The two new cantilevered structures added to the original residence do not alter the street elevation of the home and most would be surprised to find such modern interiors as they step in. Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows accentuate the open living plan and also offer ample ventilation. A spacious courtyard with a refreshing pool, lovely deck space, a fireplace and lush green surroundings tempts you to spend more time outdoors than inside!

Interiors are clad in neutral hues with plush décor and captivating art work that adds a sense of playfulness and color. Now on sale, this lovely Melbourne residence is for those who love an exquisite and unique fusion between the modern and the classic! [spotted on: freshome]
