Clearhouse in Shelter Island by Stuart Parr Design

Posted by Alex Tintea

Clearhouse is a modern one story residence,  suspended over the ground level. The lack of regular walls favours surprising views. The lush surroundings are the perfect place to go for a walk and rediscover the simple things in life. The lovely, emerald green environment helps you feel rejuvenated and clear your mind. Its unusual walls exhales transparency and it makes it look that there is no border between the nature, the enviorment, and the habitable place. The suspended fireplace creates a truly amazing atmosphere and the clear, crisp and spacious interior transform this living space into a dream home.

Stalking warehouses with cute little courtyards

by midcenturyjo 

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE a warehouse conversion. I love the space and the industrial remnants, the soaring ceilings and the often inner city location. It's gritty luxury and oh so hip but ... sometimes, just sometimes you need a little green space, an outdoor area to sit and see the sky and smell the smog fresh air. Now this warehouse has the perfect courtyard. I'd like to see this one in person. I have a feeling that its limited colour palette is a lot more serene and elegant than the photos suggest. But maybe, just maybe I'd throw a little dash of colour here or there. Link here while it lasts.
