House Tear Down

With limited land available, especially lakefront properties, many people are purchasing old camps and cottages to tear the house down and rebuild a new, energy efficient home.

Traditionally, a bulldozer or other large piece of equipment levels the house in a matter of minutes and the debris is taken to a landfill. A green alternative would be to tear the house down in stages, carefully preserving the material and selling it at a demolition auction.

What can be salvaged and reused from a tear down?

  • Building components such as doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, etc.
  • Glass
  • Metals
  • Brick
  • Wood
  • Asphalt
  • Concrete
  • Gypsum
  • Plastics
  • Landscaping, including trees, stumps, and rocks


On the other hand, you might want to check out a demolition auction to find recycled materials if you are building a new home or remodeling your existing home. These types of auctions are held at the house to be torn down, and bidders are allowed to tour the home prior to the auction. You can get everything from fixtures, appliances, flooring, and walls.

Tip: Be prepared to be required to remove the items yourself.

Aesthetics of a House

Aesthetics HomeWhen an architect designs a structure, the fore-most thing he does is to attempt and amalgamate it with its environs. That is how the buildings merge into their surroundings and look fabulous. Base Valley House is one such masterpiece built by an admirable aesthetic and eco-conscious designer.


Aesthetics HomeI personally liked the Base Valley House because it has an artistic appeal with a beautiful backdrop and the worthwhile sustainability. What’s your say?


Aesthetics HomeThe house has a glass roof which lets in the warm rays of the sun and its light during the day and a fascinating view of the night sky. The wooden interiors and ground flooring keep the rooms fresh, breezy and cool all round the year. The house has a carved out passage connecting it to the rocky bed of an adjacent stream that operates as an indoor circulation and gathering place. The stony walls are enclosed in a wire mesh running from outside of the house through the indoors.

Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces combine form and function, making them a great supplemental heat source for your new energy efficient home.

We looked at the new Rinnai RHFE 750 ETR gas fireplace, which has an efficiency rating of up to 83% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) by using a stainless steel heat exchanger and modulating gas value with an automatic blower. In addition, the RHFE 750 has many other features:

Innovative Technology and Safety Features:
• Electronic seven-stage modulating gas valve efficiently uses only the energy necessary to maintain room temperature, while providing seven different flame patterns and heat output
• Automatically adjusts the heat output and blower speed, delivering a consistent room temperature for maximizing comfort
• Sealed combustion system minimizes indoor heat loss
• Stainless steel heat exchanger
• Thermistor for accurate temperature control
• Sensors for power failure, flame failure, overheat, and power surge

Design and Convenience:
• Digital dual timer function enables fireplace to turn on and off for two set periods - great for morning and evening pre-sets
• Pre-heat mode ensures set room temperature is attained
• Full-function remote gives total control of your heat and flame output
• 3-speed fan allows even heat distribution
• On-board diagnostics and safety monitoring system
• Up to 60% heat turn-down with flame visible even on the lowest setting
• Uniquely interchangeable fronts make it easy to fit and update any décor

Advantages:
• Energy-efficient source of zone heating
• Maintains a comfortable level of heat - never too hot or too cold
• Four interchangeable fronts make it easy to change your style often
• Bottom air discharge for optimal heat distribution and for creating space for plasma screens, wall niches and other home décor accessories above the fireplace

The RHFE 750 also comes with interchangeable profiles to complement nearly any interior design. See the specifications and more about this direct vent gas fireplace.

China Imitates Brick Urban House Plans


Known for their innovative use of traditional materials – namely brick – Atelier Zhanglei created this concrete urban design, the Slit House, as an ode to custom with an eye looking toward the future. This urban house design in Nanjing, China was modeled after the adjacent homes dating back to the 1920s, only with a cool, contemporary twist. In place of grey brick, the architect opted for concrete in an abstract form. Strips of wood two inches wide were used for the concrete formwork, giving the concrete a wonderful texture reminiscent of a fine textile. The 2,900-sq.-ft. house boasts a zigzag of glass that characterizes its urban exterior while illuminating the interior. Atelier Zhanglei

Modern & Luxury Restaurant Design


Black is the new gold. The sleek and lavish interior is the blend of amazing concept where the dining experience is treated like an entertainment venue. World renowned chefs are invited to cook for their guests. Diners buy “tickets” to enjoy the food, theme, music, and even lighting all designed by the chef. There are even spots for live cooking demos by the chefs and even their sous. There are four main spaces on this Studio FRST design: the entrance, the bar for the first half of the show, the main dining room and back-stage are the kitchens and corridors. There is a great black staircase in the foyer which used as an enormous piece of furniture.

Modern School Architecture Design


Melbourne Grammar School Modern Architecture by John Wardle Architects

John Wardle Architects has completed a project of Melbourne Grammar School, located in South Yarra, Victoria, Australia. It is a prominent Melbourne secondary school, sparsely built around lush sporting fields, where the student’s character is developed in competition. The architect received the brief as the objectives to create a new campus entry, consolidate the school’s library facilities and provide supporting lecture theater and seminar room spaces to forge a new campus heart focused on learning.

The architecture design comprised of a series of inter-linked pavilions, maintaining the continuation of the scale and rythym of the school’s frontage to Domain Road. Each link is glazed encouraging visibility through to the campus interior. Main entry provides a view of the Quadrangle building weaving the old and new together visually.

Pale colors in combination with the unclouded decor create this minimalist look. There is nothing extra, just a few necessary fixtures to turn these bathroom designs into an enjoyable experience.

Valentin Small Apartment Design


French architects Emmanuel Combarel Dominique Marrec have designed the sophisticating Valentin Apartment. The main feature of the small apartment design is a suspended room within the center of the apartment. Sleeping in the “flying bedroom” should be a fantastic sensation. Although, the safety of the structure is not overlooked since the suspended bos is made of a metallic structure covered with wooden panels. The cube, the floor, walla and ceiling has been painted with white polyurethane resin. Suspended right in the center of the appartment, leaving untouched the floor and the circulations around, it divides the space, reversing the perception of the atmosphere in the appartment by making private what is usually not : the living room. Wherever you stand below or above, it truncates the perception of the occupiers bodies of whom one only sees the legs sitting, crossing or walking around in the place. Via

Rumah 'Indonesia Indah'


Rumah 'Indonesia Indah'
Farabi Fakih
Peresmian perumahan Kota Legenda di samping jalan tol Jakarta-Cikampek pada tahun 1996, mungkin menjadi salah satu penanda era baru dalam imajinasi Indonesia. Kota Legenda adalah perumahan "jalan-jalan" pertama Indonesia. Gaya rumah dan menawarkan berbagai kitsch: Anda dapat membeli rumah bergaya Kolonial Amerika, Eropa atau Jepang klasik. Ini dijanjikan: dunia dalam genggaman tanpa harus meninggalkan Indonesia sama sekali. Tetapi juga diinginkan oleh kelas menengah Jakarta sebagai akibat dari perubahan yang dialami oleh Indonesia dan kelas menengah sejak tahun 1985, yang mengakibatkan sebuah fragmentasi imajinasi identitas baru, yang pada gilirannya akan mempengaruhi imajinasi akan juga Indonesia sendiri.

Imajinasi adalah fondasi utama penciptaan masyarakat, [1], khususnya orang-orang yang melampaui atau melebihi kelokalitasan kota, desa, atau komunitas di mana dia tinggal. Indonesia sebagai negara-bangsa telah diciptakan sebagai akibat dari perubahan teknologi yang memudahkan orang untuk membayangkan bahwa ia adalah bagian dari sesuatu yang lebih besar. Seiring dengan perubahan teknologi komunikasi dan transportasi, dalam sebuah ledakan bentuk-bentuk masyarakat imajiner baru, mungkin ada apa yang disebut Arjun Appadurai sebagai "pencabutan tentang wilayah imajinasi".

Imajinasi model baru ini adalah translokal dan deteritorial; imajinasi seseorang hari ini yang sering tidak dapat dipetakan pada setiap entitas lokal; identitas seorang imigran dari Uganda dengan etnis India di Amerika Serikat yang menonton film Hindi, identitas asrama sekolah anak-anak dari Garut sedang mendengarkan kaset - kaset khotbah dari Osama bin Laden di Afghanistan dan membayangkan sebuah masyarakat Islam internasional: dia adalah siapa? Pertanyaan berikutnya: Apa dan siapa Indonesia? Sementara postmodern dan postkolonial imajinasi adalah sepenuhnya meninggalkan negara-bangsa; bagaimana kita harus memahami "Indonesia"? Setidaknya, bagaimana kita harus memahami bahwa Indonesia sebagai negara telah dibangun oleh Orde Baru itu sendiri? Bagaimana bentuk imajinasi sendiri dan apa yang mendorong?

Use Curtains In Your Bathroom!


Most homes, irrespective of size, opt to have blinds as their window treatment in their bathrooms. These are easy to install, easy to operate and are available in a vast array of different colours and patterns.

Make no mistake there is nothing wrong with using blinds, far from it! They are a cost effective and practical way to provide privacy as well as letting plenty of natural light flood into the room when they are rolled up. However, if you are looking for something a little more unusual and unique in your bathroom, break from tradition and use full length curtains if you windows is not situated with the sink, bath or loo above it!

Curtains add a touch of chic styling which oozes elegance when the right colour combinations are used! As most bathroom suites are white you have a whole world of gorgeous colours to choose from! For a funky look use vibrant fuchsia pink, lime green or deep purple. If you are after a monochromatic look of course you should opt for black and white. Floral patterns which trail up the length of the curtains will also give the illusion of more height in your room.

Retro looks can also look simply stunning in bathrooms. Look for mirrors with metal or mirrored frames to bring extra light in a stylish way.

The use of free standing baths in-trend enables these looks to be more easily achieved. The other trend of staying in rather than spending on nights out means you will have time to enjoy relaxing and soaking in a bath filled with fragrant bubbles! If you want to create a warm and romantic look scented candles are a good choice, just be careful where you place the candles if you use curtains to reduce the potential fire risk.

Architectural Drafting Services: Custom Home Design


One of our most recent clients were not interested in building a timber frame home, but were drawn to the openness and creativity timber houses afford. At the same time, they did not require full architectural services, only limited drafting services, but wanted to work with an architect to pull their design ideas together and make them work with their land’s difficult terrain and elevation issues. We were happy to assist them by providing drafting services for their new custom home.

The result is an attractive, welcoming river front home with water views that meets their family needs – four bedrooms, plenty of storage, and space to entertain guests in both formal and informal social gatherings.

The full basement has 1832 square feet of living space as well as a two-car garage. Entry to the house from the garage is accessed through a mudroom that has two large benches and a generous closet for coats. A kitchenette with counter seating is a welcome addition to the open family room. The basement opens to extensive outdoor patios, which creates the perfect space for casual entertaining and to enjoy the surrounding property.



The first floor, meanwhile, features an open kitchen / living area with plenty of windows to capture water views of the river. A formal pantry provides additional storage space and provides access to the formal dining area that seats eight comfortably. The Master Bedroom suite is spacious and features French doors leading to a screened porch overlooking the Mississippi River.



Our clients are very happy with their home and in working with an architect, stating, “Bonin Architects did a wonderful job in working with the best of our ideas and where input was required they were happy to do so. They assisted us with some difficult terrain and elevation issues and we are now able to go forward with the construction of the home confident that the home is filled with our ideas and Bonin Architects’ expertise. We had consulted half a dozen design services all of whom took weeks or months to present alternatives. Bonin put the plan together in less than one month.”
