Floating Residence in Green Home & Tender with Exquisite Country Details by Marc Even

The project which comes from Marc Even is known as Green Home & Tender and it’s one of floating home projects that the company designed. Before we get on with the description of the building from the architect, we would like to state that the kitchen is magnificent. It looks ordinary indeed but if you closely look that it’s very difficult to combine traditional country kitchen design with a modern one and Marc has done it brilliantly.

So here we are some description from the architect: “Both main and guest homes are built on state of the art concrete floats with concrete planters and built-in concrete accent walls. The balance of their homes were requested to be kept very simple, utilizing a mix of commercial/industrial with rough sawn reverse board and bat siding to give the home a country feel. The interior is very open with walls that do not go higher than 7? and floors made of re-claimed 1?x6? sanded and sealed Ship Lap Fir. The Stained Glu-Lam ceiling is at 9?-6? with spiral ducting, corrugated galvanized metal with wood accents on the perimeter, and mono-point lighting. The owners selected an Artesian Finish concrete product that is used on floors, walls, see through direct vent fireplace, and kitchen countertops. Other elements of the homes include: a glass tile shower in the master bath, upper lighting to accent the roof, a second deck galvanized rail with hot tub, and a private front courtyard with a storage shed, connecting the main home to the tender via a walkway.”

Balcony Design Tips

Balconies are often forgotten or neglected when in fact they can be one of the most important features of your home be it for entertaining or simply relaxing. Consider these important points before embarking on a balcony or terrace design project.
Recommendations

Check with a qualified professional as to the structural loading capacity of your terrace. Not all buildings can support the same weight loads and many buildings may not be able to withstand the weight of the materials you are thinking of using. Consider lightweight alternatives to traditional materials such as aluminium structures, Hebel brick or foam panel, tensioned steel Balustrading, polycarbonate roofing etc.
All Year Round Design

Think about how the space will be used in all 4 seasons. Even if you don't actively go out onto your balcony or terrace in the winter months, it can and should be attractive to look at from indoors and outdoors. Keep the division between the inside and out to a minimum to create the feeling of space from both sides and to bring the outside in.
Design for YOU!

Consider what time of day you will be spending most of your time on your balcony or terrace. Do you work during the day? If so, plan your design for night time enjoyment. Plan on lighting being an integral part of the design and possibly heating. Make the area comfortable. Quality outdoor furniture can make a big difference to the amount of time you spend outside, I mean, who's going to spends a few hours enjoying the view if they have to stand up or sit on a rock hard, bum numbing chair.
Make to Measure

Plan very carefully because in a small space every inch counts. Make sure the scale of the various built elements and furnishings is appropriate to the size of your overall space. Use "layering" (foreground, middle ground, background) to create the illusion of greater size and depth within your balcony or terrace.
Plant Selection

Choose plant species that are appropriate to your micro-climate. This is as important or even more important than when you are planning ground-level planting beds. Your particular exposure (direction you face) and patterns of wind will create a very specific micro-climate. Plan on using plants that are at least one full zone hardier than you would if you were down at ground level. Try stylish, drought hardy succulents or integrate annuals into your planting design knowing that they will be replaced each season.
Irrigation

Make sure you have thought about water supply. If you have an overhang above your balcony or terrace your plants will not receive any natural rainfall. Consider installing a drip irrigation system on a timer so your plants won't dry out every time you go away for a day or two. Drainage must be your first thought regarding irrigation as an excess of water can cause serious damage to both yours and your neighbours building.
Inside Out

When designing your balcony or terrace and when choosing materials and finishes remember to link your indoor rooms with your outdoor room(s) and carry the indoors out. This is particularly critical in a small space where continuity and flow are very important.
Storage

Don't forget to include some storage in the overall design. You'll need a place for gardening tools, potting soil and a host of other odds and ends. Design the space so your gardening will be as pleasurable as possible. Under seat or bench areas can be utilised for valuable storage space. Or a shallow wall cupboard can hold cushions, candles, gardening gloves and clippers.

7 Kitchen Design Ideas

In deciding on how to design your kitchen, you must take into consideration such things as: will your kitchen have an island? Will it be of a modern or traditional design? What kinds of appliances will you need for your new kitchen design? What kind of lighting design? Kitchen design ideas include a kitchen canopy, color of cabinets to set the tone of the kitchen, selecting the right lighting design, and type or material used for countertops.

1. Kitchen as 'Great Room'

Whether you are redesigning an existing kitchen or planning a new kitchen in a new home there are some design considerations to keep in mind, such as including in an island or peninsula as part of the kitchen design. These can be used to connect the kitchen to a nearby dining area or family room thereby creating a 'great room'. A kitchen island or peninsula will allow the cook to keep in visual and conversational contact with family members or guests in the adjoining family or dining room.

2. Create a Kitchen Canopy

To give the kitchen some visible borders without blocking views create a kitchen canopy. Also a high ceiling in the kitchen can create the perception of spaciousness.

3. Using Kitchen Cabinet Color to Set Tone of Kitchen Design

Kitchen cabinets will help set the tone for the whole room. The choice of wood will influence the overall look of your cabinets. To create a light look, use a light wood such as ash, beech, birch, oak, maple, or chestnut. For medium range, select cherry. To darker kitchens, choose wood that has some color to it.

4. Plan Out Use of Cabinets and Drawers in The New Kitchen Design

Plan out in the kitchen design blueprint just how your cabinets and drawers will be used and how much space and storage you will need before you start your new kitchen design. The first thing to examine is the counter surface area. Look at where you put everything in your existing kitchen and where in your new kitchen design will these things will go in the new space. Will there be more than one person cooking at a time. If so, will there be enough room for two cooks in the kitchen to work together?

5. Use The Galley-Type Kitchen Design

As for counter arrangements, many kitchen designers agree the galley-type design to be the best in terms of efficiency with it's single aisle and counters to either side, making it easy to turn around to go from sink to cooking range.

6. Under-Cabinet Kitchen Lighting

kitchen lighting can be an overlooked area of kitchen design. Even if the kitchen has generally good lighting, the counter areas can be somewhat dark. For these areas under-cabinet lighting can help provide more light to work in. By using simple spots or fluorescent lights a smaller kitchen can be made to look larger.

7. Looking at Countertops

Granite, marble, and limestone are all popular natural materials for use in countertops are available in many colors. Ceramic tile kitchen countertops are versatile, practical, and also available in many colors, as well as many shapes, patterns, and finishes. Solid surface countertops provide seamless acrylic faces. Solid surfaces also come in almost limitless colors, patterns, and styles, and are stain and heat resistant. Laminate countertops are more affordable but not built to last. Concrete countertops are known for versatility, as well as strength. Wood countertops are long lasting and easy to clean and repair but the wood will not withstand exposure to water and household chemicals. Stainless steel countertops lack the elegance of granite or tile. These countertops do not absorb stains, but tends to scratch easily.

To create kitchen plans that are easy and fun requires a good software program that can let you simply snap in cabinets, dishwashers, countertops, cook tops and refrigerators. One that can provide you with hundreds of wood finishes, tiles, Formicas, linoleums, paints, wallpapers, and trims a to get a look that is just right. Click to learn more about "plan3D".
