Foster - Partner’s - Put Skills In Mauritius
Love architecture? Then this is a post that you are definitely going to fall head over heels for!
Foster + Partners have gone and done it again with their fantastic new architectural project called the Banyan Tree Corniche Bay which is situated in stunning Mauritius.
What the famous architect Foster wanted to create was a building that blended in seamlessly with the natural environment around it and of course in typical understated style he has achieved usurped himself yet again.
A look at the Foster+Partner’s website reveals exactly what the beautiful new building looks like and they have this to say about the project:
“The masterplan is for a discreet and environmentally intelligent architecture that blends harmoniously with the lush and extensive landscape. Green fingers of lush vegetation extend down towards the sea, with a series of contemporary buildings inserted amid tropical plantings to create an architecture that at once responds to the contours of the landscape and recedes into the green totality.”
The interior of the building is in a modern slightly colonial style and carries on the theme of using natural materials so it ties in exquisitely with the facade of the building.
Extra features include sleek plunge pools and a massive deck that lies parallel with the sea at the back and a generous veranda balcony that runs along the front.

Design Kitchen Interiors
Design Kitchen InteriorsAlthough there are large variations you can watch and admire these settings, one common thing seen. Furniture and the atmosphere reminds one of the pre-modern era, without striking furniture, LCD monitor or fancy lighting. For those o you who enjoy classical furniture, we hope we've given you to feel how the kitchen can be changed. Hanging lamps and candles stand out because they saw an antique, wooden furniture with carved patterns make you think twice about the year we are in and some items seem to be the perfect decorations mixed in the overall thematic design and even increase its impact. We found this original collection of kitchen interior of Central Kitchen & Bath. All seats have an attractive metallic back and it seems there are plenty of storage space available in one unit of the closet.

Design Superadobe earth home 2010
Interested in sustainable living? Take a look at the earth Superadobe home by Iranian architect, Nader Khalili. Living in a house made of earth may sound a bit off-the-grid; however, earth architecture is a proven form of sustainable living. Did you know that approximately one third of the world’s population live in earth houses ?
Earth architecture is a highly sustainable form of living; the environmentally-friendly Superadobe design uses on-site earth, which can save up to 95% of timber, allowing not only for forest products to be more wisely utilized but also resulting in fire-safe buildings. It has non-toxic interior finishes, utilizes solar and wind energy for passive cooling and heating and is highly affordable in terms of low material costs.
The Superadobe home is arranged as three offset vaults allowing maximum view, spaciousness, light, and interior ventilation throughout the house open plan area. The basic unit provides a 3 room, 400 square foot earth house that can be easily erected within weeks by a few unskilled laborers. The interior arches and vaults design is beautiful and unique while the house can be easily extended by adding circular dome elements to the original form.
A prototype 3-Vaulted house has been tested and approved for California’s severe earthquake codes and natural elements. This unique form of green building can withstand extreme climate conditions, such as freezing winters, over 100 degree F summer temperatures, flash floods and high speed winds… amazing!
Modern Sustainable mountain home designed
Stunning architectural elements are complemented by two-story Pilkington glass walls, projecting at an angle to maximize on the magnificent views. A gated pathway leads past the 1,518-sq.-ft. carriage house and to the main house, offering 9,716 sq. ft. with an oversized heated garage, radiant heating, double-sided fireplaces and wood floors throughout.
A glass staircase leads up to the home’s third storey, which houses a glass-encased office. Hanging high over the home’s third storey is the “bird’s nest” master bedroom – an intimate and peaceful refuge. The Boulder Glass House is on sale through Sotheby’s International Realty.

Modern Architecture of Elegant Pool House Design
This pavilion for entertaining and changing is an addition to the existing house with a pool. It has modern design from natural materials and provides everything owners could possible need while they relaxing near the pool. The wall and roof planes are pushed/pulled apart and made translucent to create a sense of air and light. The house is separated for public and private spaces. The private space is for changing and taking shower while the public one for cooking and taking a snack or just sitting near the pool hidden from the sun. Most materials which were used are close to natural ones so the house blends with surroundings without any problems.
