Houses that are transformers....

When security becomes cool... 

You ever wonder if your family is safe from robbers or bad people that target you just because yoiu were home. Think about all the movies we have seen and all the different versions of the same story where someone breaks in and the rest is history. Well wouldn't it be nice to know with certainty that our particular family was protected and cared fdor and that honestly we would have nothing to worry about. Dream you say, fantasy I think not. Here is a house that completely shuts down and turns itself into a fortress, no one can get in but the people you allow.. Trust me.. 

Look at the pictures below. I think closed it looks ugly, boxy, and like a concrete block but open it looks like a beautiful, modern, contemporary hopme with beautiful design and architecture. And of course when closed safe is an understatement

Safe House: The Brilliant ‘Transformer’ House That Can Become a Fort

If you have always been a fan of open house layouts and the security issue was the only thing holding you back have a look at this concept from architects KWK Promes. With the mere press of a button the open architecture transforms the house into an impenetrable concrete cube designed keep its inhabitants safe. When shifted to the more ‘vulnerable’ mode, the walls slide open, shutters rise up, the draw bridge lowers giving access to the indoor pool and the gates open to give beautiful garden views. The 6100 ft ‘Safe House’ (as it is called) also has a safety zone surrounded by concrete walls where users would be screened first before being let inside. Take a look:

 

Does this give you the best of both worlds? What do you think?

Absolutely amazing in every way shape and form... leaves one breathless and wondering in awe...

Concrete, no longer a cold, dark, and dungeon feel....

Concrete has come of age....

Today I am writting about the one style I never really have liked in moderen, contemporary deasign. Heavy concrete use in building and interior design. Alway looked at by me as cold, dungeon looking, and moldy, I am now forced to take back my previous opinions and talk about this style in a positive manner and give it the respect I have never given it. Totally opposite of what I have felt about it in the past, this style has come of age and completely took me by surprise, in fact I now would consider this as one of two routes to take when re-designing or building my future house. Compleelt stunning and amazing, I found one example I have to share with all of you. 

Bright, modern, white, and absolutely stunning, the following pictures were once thought as an impossibility by me. A perfect blend of concept, planning, implementation all the way around: Architecture, Interior design, exterior design, and furniture design.

Places to just get away and think, dream, or simply do absolutely nothing.....

A Place to relax, think, or simply walk around naked, well 

maybe not naked....

Sometimes all of us have the most stressful weeks, we don't know how it happened but its usually due to some demanding client who simply is not satisfied, an old job that just wont get done, upcoming deadlines that seem almost impossible to meet, suppliers are not delivering materials to a large, written about project, or simply a combination of all of the above. How many of us simply want to just say hey I need some time off and just get away... I found this posting for weekend getaway homes and the designs they have. Very light earth toned, simply decorated and open to the elements, they are ideal to simply unwind, think, and get all our problems to vanish if not for good, at least for a weekend or even a week. But this will give us our much needed break from the everyday pressure of work, love, marriage, kids, or whatever that may be... 

Enjoy these pictures I found that just by looking at them say to me Tranquility and peace of mind.
