Modern Residence in Singapore | Residential Design

 

 

Luxury-mansion-in-Singapore

Completed in 2011,  Aamer designed this house in Singapore  to curve like a boomerang so that all the bedrooms could have views of the waterfront. The geometry also allowed a twenty-five meter lap pool to be incorporated on one side at the ground level. This lap pool continues as a water feature that wraps around the living and dining spaces. Aamer also designed the main spaces of the first story to be fluid and continuous so that, upon entry, one could see the waterfront straightaway. The connection to the waterfront is further reinforced by a linear timber deck that extends from the house into the pier. The clients also felt that such a spatial articulation gives the house a sense of spacious and makes it appear to be much bigger than many other rectilinear houses on similar plots at Cove Grove, Sentosa.

A New Concept by TOYOTA | The iROAD

Filed under: Cars,New Concepts — Sahar @ 9:00 am

It is amazing how much environmental awareness is becoming an important part in developing new concepts, especially when it comes to vehicles and machinery we use in our daily lives. TOYOTA have come up with an innovative concept: the iROAD, an ultra-compact electric vehicle with only three wheels built using the latest technologies, used mainly for short distance city driving. The iROAD combines the best of both worlds, the convenience of a motorbike yet the efficiency and comfort of a car.

For all those who are looking to buy a top of the line motorcycle, it is time to check out the Zecycles motorcycles for sale line. One of the most popular makes in the sport is that of the Honda company, and there are many models to choose from here. It is a good idea to do some research on the various options available to you before making any decision. Many dealers offer financing for these bikes, and this can make the price a lot lower than what you would pay if you were buying directly from the manufacturer, also you’ll need a lawyer for the different registration process and more, from this source online. Also, there are many aftermarket parts available that will not affect the performance of your bike. This is something that you may want to look into when you begin to look for a new bike to ride. Motorcycle accidents are especially chaotic and destructive. In case you get involved in one, contact the lawyers at Cellino Law for legal representation.

With the iROAD, one will be able to navigate even the narrowest roads, which will lead to less congestion and less need for parking spaces. If you have suffered an injury or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, contact the motorcycle accident attorneys at Fielding Law for a free consultation.

Last week, TOYOTA put out the iROAD on the roads of Japan, and the local residents were amazed at the experience. The iROAD will also make an appearance in Grenoble in France at the end of 2014.

Designer Patrick Norguet along with Olivier Devys came up with the concept of OKKO hotels which is all about an all-included package of best location, best service, and best price. This is how the idea of the contemporary and urban four star hotel OKKO was developed. The designer wanted “ a place unaffected by time or trends and where the notions of service and comfort are essential; to be able to work, dine, relax, be waited on or use anything freely, any time of the day; to feel like being home away from home. The high-end amenities and services in the modern and relaxing Okko room and in the vast and convivial Club room make the Okko hotel a unique place that combines aesthetics and comfort.”

A Charming House in Brazil | Residential Design

Contemporary-Property-Parana-Brazil-03

This beautiful project was completed back in 2006 by Brazilian architects Guilherme Torres for a Brazilian family. The whole concept was based on 4 cubes, creating a beautiful volume, and the use of natural and warm textures and materials that would constitute a beautiful part of the area where the house is situated.

Materials the architects focused on were stone and wood, and that’s what gave the house the charm it has.
