Belsize Lane by Square Feet Architects

Our clients in this terraced house, Belsize Park designed by Square Feet Architects requested a reconfigure to their home to create a more sociable and accommodating place for friends to visit, a place for them to entertain and dine. This was achieved by bringing the small-dislocated kitchen at the front of the house into the living area at the rear and created a split level dining and living space.
During the downstairs reconfiguration a rear glassy, robust extension replaced the small, single glazed conservatory which previously inhabited the space. A spacious study and functional utility were also created for the clients. Photography by Dan Welldon.

In his view, instead of the designers’ single idea, minimalism should refer to the sustainable co-creation of dwellers, providing comprehensive space for parent-child interaction with warm and blessing. “Spatial fluidity, the distinction of Lake Lantern, is born to be the top of private residence design, not the aesthetic.

Main Villa by Alena Valyavko

Main Villa is by Alena Valyavko. Built on a lush hillside, Islita offers residents and visitors a unique, eco-friendly and thoughtful way of life in harmony with nature. The Islita Villas embody the idea of emphasizing authenticity and identity to recreate the symbiosis of man and environment, while maintaining the balance between privacy and socialization. Basically, this is a space for relaxation, combining functional design with nature. For this purpose, natural materials are used: clay, concrete, wood. This is what helps to achieve a balance between what nature has created and what man has created. This creates an atmosphere of calm and unity with nature, and the house becomes an integral part of the wild life in this area.

The decor, which followed the architectural spirit of those times, already seemed old-fashioned.
