Bungalow Style

The classic American bungalow is as popular today as when introduced in the Victorian era. Bungalow Style pictures a wide variety of interior details and describes how to add or restore elements that suggest a historic flair while keeping the home comfortable and functional. Common problems such as integrating modern conveniences or gaining needed space are also addressed.

About Bungalow Style Author
I wrote this book to show that there are many types of bungalows in America, not just the ones we tend to associate with Gustav Stickley–those with dark interiors and boxy furniture. Bungalows were designed for the middle class and the working class alike, and often reflect the tastes and budgets of the original homeowner. What you see inside the book are photos of homes lovingly renovated or restored by architects, interior designers, and even the homeowners themselves. The ideas presented are meant to inspire anyone who owns one of these quaint homes to think historic, but be creative when deciding to remodel or add on a new addition.

Saxo Bank by 3XN Architects

Yossawat — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:14:14 +0000

Saxo Bank is a young dynamic internet bank with focus on online-trade with currencies, shares and futures on the bank’s self-developed platform, Saxo Trader. Saxo Bank was founded in 1992 in Denmark and counts around 850 staff members of 35 nationalities who serve customers from 115 different countries.

Saxo Bank’s new headquarter in Copenhagen is designed by 3XN. Although the customers primarily encounter the bank in cyberspace, the physical premises of the head office is of great importance to the management of the bank who participate actively and are highly dedicated to the development of the building. The building is of great iconographic significance, and there is a strong conviction that architecture and design affect each staff member’s performance and awareness of the company.

The architectural design is based on Saxo’s cutting-edge profile and branding. The lines of the building design define a sharp balance between reliability and dynamic expressivity in dialogue with the local plan. The building is shaped like two blocks with the end walls pointing towards the canal, joined together by facades that are withdrawn from the end walls. The facades are shaped like double curved glass that wave like a piece of textile.

The interior of the building is open and transparent with a large sense of community. The open plans centre round a softly shaped atrium with a glass roof. In the atrium, the main stair case winds up to the top. However, the main room and largest attraction of the building is the so-called Trading Floor where share prices are monitored intensely and resemble scenes from American movies about stock exchanges. Furthermore, the building encompasses a large number of rooms for technical support, kitchenettes and recreational areas.

The Warm house- modern space with the warm attitude. The Warm house contains two ways of living – fast, everyday hurry and calm , relaxing. It allows typical duplex space to be duplex also in use. Interior seems simple , bright , modern because of sunlight coming on walls and other reflecting materials in the morning .

In the evening spotlights illuminate the wood floor giving warm beige glow on the walls. The surface light illuminates art noveau style graphic on the wall making it softer and the stairs lighten by amber Leds seems to be warm in touch. Additionally , the pattern is a protection of walls, making it easier to clean – which is useful while having small kids.

The shiny, mat game can also been seen on the art noveau style pattern. The accent is repeated in the furniture, wall and bathroom and it is visible when surface lightened. The art nouveau style became leitmotiv of warm house project after works done in Brussels – the world capitol of Art Nouveau Style. All that metamorphosis change house into the warm , calm place suited perfectly for relax. This change is strictly connected with needs of inhabitants schedule.

Realization of this design took fourteen months and there were lots of problems among this time. Eventually it came quite similar to the visualizations which is the biggest advantage of whole project – it means it suits the inhabitants perfectly.

An interior based around graphic art and the application of a visual language in an entire space. In this project, of an interior of a Bar, Katrin Olina exploits the film and printing technology of 3M to create a huge seamless painting that expands throughout the bar’s four interconnected areas that cover a floor area of 1200 square feet.

The bar countertop is encrusted with more than 300,000 Swarovski crystals, which are illuminated from above by a ripple projector, and below by multicolored LEDs, in that way the counter’s surface changes hues while shimmering in undulating waves over the course of the night. Furniture was designed specially for the project by Michael Young’s Hong Kong Office.

Yossawat — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:33:36 +0000

The Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and a committee of Philosophy Professors collaborated in the selection of Steven Holl Architects to design the complete interior renovation of a 1890 corner building at 5 Washington Place for the consolidation of the NYU Department or Philosophy within a concept which organizes the new spaces around light and phenomenal properties of materials. A new stair shaft below a new skylight joins the 6-level building vertically with a shifting porosity of light and shadow that change seasonally. The Ground level, utilized by the entire University, contains a new curvilinear wooden auditorium on a cork floor. The upper level floors contain Faculty Offices and Seminar Rooms which are done in different shades and textures of black & white, according to the texts in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s book “Remarks on Colour”.

Residence for an Art Collector

Yossawat — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 14:34:52 +0000

The Owner, an art collector, requested that the interiors be designed to highlight an extraordinary art collection while not feeling like a museum.

A palette of neutral colors for fabrics, rugs, curtains and wood paneling was chosen to create a warm surrounding for the collection of several hundred photographs and paintings.

Every attempt was made to combine contemporary furnishings with European antiques in each room, emphasizing that the backdrop for the art is a comfortable home.

Louis XVI armchairs and bergeres and Biedermeier side tables and benches are combined with both custom pieces and modern pieces by the likes of Warren Platner, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Paul Kjaerholm, Edith Norton, Karl Springer, Florence Knoll, T.H. Robsjohn Gibbins, and Christian Liagre.
