I cannot focus on the furnishings because I keep getting distracted by that floating stair. Those slabs of wood must somehow be cantilevered from the wall. A pretty tricky detail, but nice if you can pull it off.

This is a nice clean country kitchen - but somehow the lime green walls and vertical lime green tile pattern do not work for me.

I really like the rustic table with the modern chairs and the clean tableware. It's a nice comfortable look.

I like the floating ceiling above the kitchen. It helps to anchor that space and define it separately from the living / dining area.

"sustainability" and "green" are overexposed terms used today. Just because a home has low voc paint and a piece of recycled furniture does not make the home sustainable.

This particular space is a nice clean design. Why not just leave it at that?

Thats a pretty smart idea. This reminds me of when my 8 year old son made a similar piece of art utilizing a 2' square piece of plywood, sheet rock screws and various colored rubber bands tensioned across the sheet rock screws.

Nice modern open plan. Modern yet still warm.

Nice clean design but I am really not sure about those bunnies.

Something about the interiors does not seem quite "pulled together". I do like the strong simple forms of the exterior massing however.

I am so not a wallpaper person - but these patterns look very well designed.

this is one of the nicer eco homes that I have seen. It is modern and yet sort of rustic at the same time. It's a kind of modern that most people can see themselves living in.

Perhaps the interior of the exterior walls should have been retained as original, which would not have been all white. Then this could have been contrasted by the all white new interiors. This certainly would have come off less sterile and perhaps a bit more dramatic.

I think this space can handle all the white. So much texture and pattern (the brick fireplace, wood beams, bolts in the steel beam, v-groove flooring) along with the extensive use of dark wood and the variety of artwork. All of this combines to not make this your average stark white space.

They say in Architecture School that "form follows function". This is pretty much true in my house where every single piece of furniture is utilized.

What is the function of artwork though? Is it simply to beautify - or to create mood? I guess that is just important.

I'll admit that is just a bit odd (the office desk in the bath area). We have a fireplace, a tub and a desk. Cannot decide if this is a good flexible room or a room with a complex.

Very nice house. Clean and simple. Almost with a shaker quality in some photos.

There is indeed something soothing about this design. Simple, yet elegant.

This is one very sophisticated apartment. It's a simple design yet daring at the same time. I'd never think to mix those stripes with the other geometries.
