Article source: Prashant Parmar Architect | Shayona Consultants This 1,850 sq ft abode for a family of 3 in Ahmedabad features an open layout with well-ventilated spaces that are closely connected with nature, put together with a graceful coordination of pastel shades, which not only adds flavour to the design palette, but also creates an ambiance of de-emphasized opulence. Aptly called the Suave Suite, this apartment is an effortless combination of luxury and simpicity having 3 Bedrooms along with Family Sitting, Dining, and Kitchen. It utilises muted design principles, imbuing them with a touch of nonchalant elegance to make a statement of luxury, sophistication and rootedness. Natural tones and a clever blend of warm and cool shades, sprinkled with pops of colour, make up the palette of the entire home. A particular emphasis was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, and colour-rich home.  Image Courtesy © studio 16mm
South Hill House in Toronto, Canada by StudioAC | Studio for Architecture & CollaborationMay 19th, 2023 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: StudioAC | Studio for Architecture & Collaboration Located north of downtown Toronto, South Hill house near Casa Loma is a renovation, restoration, and addition to an older brick home. A sensitivity to the existing structure was observed when altering both the interior and exterior while the new addition stands in contrast with contemporary details, larger open spaces, and modernist massing. While siting of the project was influenced by local zoning regulations, the new mass also yields to the existing house along the north elevation to celebrate the different periods of construction. While the new addition also utilizes a brick chosen to match that of the existing house and pay homage to the greater Toronto vernacular there is no mistaking what is new vs. old. Across the façade of the existing house as built openings were respected and referenced when conceiving interior layouts. On the addition expansive panoramic openings were used to bring in light and expand the perspective across the leafy tree filled neighbourhood.  Image Courtesy © Jeremie Warshafsky Photography

Article source: RYMAR.studio The site is located in the Repino resort area of St. Petersburg. Two-storey house with a total area of 825 m2 is positioned on a picturesque lot of 0.2 hectares with a minimum slope. The architectural style is minimalistic, yet not ascetic. The concept is based on laconic forms, strict silhouette and clear zoning. The project was inspired by the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a leading figure of modernist architect generation of the 20th century. At the heart of his “less is more” philosophy lies the clarity and comprehensibility of the design. Architectural simplicity is expressed in the ephemerality of the structure, free planning and homogeneity of façade materials.  Image Courtesy © RYMAR.studio
