Naomi Campbell’s Amazing Home In Rublyovka, Moscow

Supermodel Naomi Campbell is a lucky girl in many ways, and the fact that her Russian billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin, real estate entrepreneur aka the Donald Trump of Russia, is reportedly building a new home for her is just another cherry on the cake! Miss Campbell is being treated to a futuristic mansion that looks like a docked spaceship in Moscow’s A-List suburban area Rublyovka, designed by accomplished architect Zaha Hadid who is famous for the opera house in Guangzhou, Roca Gallery, and the Aquatics Center in London amongst many others.

The extraordinary 2,650 square meter home is named Capital Hill Residence, and centers around two 22-meter-high towers that resemble the mechanical alien invaders from the War of the Worlds.

 Using a mixture of modern technologies and organic form, the eco-style abode appears as a cluster of shiny pods nestled amidst a private surrounding of mature pine and birch trees, located on the north-face hillside in Barvikha.

 The lower quarters of the dwelling enjoys the cozy naturalistic feeling of merging with the hillside, whilst the upper sections float higher than the treetops to offer dynamic views across the forest.

 The design aesthetic of this space-age dwelling was influenced by the legendary work of Antonio Gaudi, who is known for his rejection of straight lines in his architecture, and who prolifically used glass and wood for interior decoration.

The inner part of the house is planned in Eco-style. The creator was roused by the work of unbelievable Barcelona draftsman Antonio Gaudi, who did not affirm straight lines and would give anything to utilize wood and glass within inner part embellishment. The inside is as advanced as the outside, with immense glass boards, smooth bends all over and to great degree tall top sides. It appears as though it might be an instrument to take over the universe, both on the outer surface and the inner part.

Contemporary Garay House, California

              

California-based design studio Swatt Miers Architects have designed the Garay House project. Completed in 2010, this contemporary property can be found in Tiburon, California, USA.

According to the architects: “The owners wished of one day transforming their low, one-storey home into a setting befitting their spectacular site perched above San Francisco Bay. Their dreams began to be realized in 2005 with the design of an extention, coupled with the complete renovation of their existing contemporary Californian house.

“The site is a half-acre south-facing hillside parcel, with unobstructed views of San Francisco Bay to the south, east and west. Responding to the physical conditions of the site, the new contemporary Californian house is almost entirely opaque on the north side where a new entrance motor court is defined by a rhythm of five ‘free-standing’ stone-clad walls. Slivers of glass separate the stone panels, creating a strong rhythm while giving little hint of the extraordinary spaces and views on the other side.

Luxury Apartment for Art Lovers

The pictures say it all, but we bet you’d like to learn some more about this luxury apartment in California. First of all, it is located in Russian Hill, the lovely residential neighborhood of San Francisco. It is a 316 sqm (3,400)-square foot apartment, a true luxury residence. The couple that owns this place asked Zack/de Vito Architecture to redecorate the entire space and to introduce their beloved art collection in the interior decor.

Because it is part of a high-rise apartment building, and it is situated on the 19th floor, the views that this home has to offer are simply stunning. The immense windows help emphasize the beauty of the scenery which shows the amazing San Francisco Bay. We don’t think that there is much more one could ask for in a luxury apartment.
