projects presented in June. As usual, we chose to pick our “best of”
according to our readers’ Facebook shares, so let us know if your
personal favorite design made it on the list. Remember that by clicking on the pictures, you can see more photos and details about each project. Enjoy!
#1. The post that got the most votes in June features a few street art works that are sure to bring a smile on your face. OaKoAk
is a “French artist who likes to play with urban elements”. The result?
Cute urban jokes that liven up the gloomy city streets. Apparently the
the “Chuck Norris Sat Here” broken bench really caught on and we got a
lot of positive feedback from you guys.
#2. The spectacular Leaf House was designed by Mareines + Patalano Arquitetura
and is located in Angra dos Reis, close to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its
unique design is said to be inspired by Brazil’s Indian architecture
and was envisioned in a way that counteracts the humid and hot climate
which characterizes the area. Stretching over a surface of 8,600 square
feet, this original looking beach home is covered by a giant
leaf-shaped roof that isolates the building:
#3. If you are looking for creative ways to light up a room, these Gourd Lamps from Calabarte
are a good option. Each gourd lamp is made from a gourd brought from
Senegal and their exotic design is achieved after carefully selecting
dried shells of gourd fruit and drilling patterns into them. And just
have a look at that lovely game of light!
#4. In at number four is an artistic living wall consisting of a replica of Van Gogh’s well-known 1889 painting “A Wheatfield, with Cypresses”
and displayed in front of The National Gallery in London, as a result
of a collaboration between General Electric and the museum. Over 8,000
plants of 25 varieties were used to mimic the bold colours in Van
Gogh’s original painting.
#5, Maui is a picturesque Hawaiian island capable of offering unique holiday experiences. This opulent villa is called “Jewel of Maui”
and consists of 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Its architecture seems to
express the fact that this house is meant for active relaxation
only.This vacation retreat is up for rent here, with prices ranging from $6,750 to $8,250 per night. Just click on the photo for more details.
#6. This stunning looking home was designed by architect Victor Cañas
and is located in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Situated atop
of a dramatic cliff, the residence has spectacular views over the
Pacific Ocean and the beautiful green coastline. With a total living
area of 4500 square feet, this is the ultimate holiday retreat. The side
of the building facing the ocean features floor to ceiling windows for
unobstructed vistas towards the terraces, infinity pool and beyond.
#7. Have a look at this creative idea that can be
widely applied when it comes to a variety of designs ! According to the
producers,” Litracon® is a combination of optical fibers and fine concrete. With
an original and eye-catching appearance, this type of material can be
used in a variety of ways, it is all up to the user’s imagination.
#8. Janet Echelman is
an artist currently working and living in Brookline, Massachusetts,
United States. Her public art works left us speechless, which is why we
decided to showcase them on Freshome. Right now, her projects made it
to our top 10 June posts which means you guys liked appreciated them
just as much as we did.
#9.
Located in Extramadura, a community of western Spain, this amazing
building was first constructed by the Jerónimo monks in the 12th century
and later became an oil mill. Due to its historic value, its original
architecture was kept intact. In order to rehabilitate the building and
transform it into a proper living space, the current owners
transmitted their request to architect Ricardo Elizondo, who reinvented the space, after almost two decades of utter neglect.
#10. Created by Emily Wettstein,
a 25-year-old designer from Brooklyn, NY, this table is as fresh as
it gets. With an original appearance, it can literally bring nature
indoors, since it features a removable planter that can hold a variety
of plants. The table itself is made from reclaimed walnut and steel and
looks great, with or without the creative green addition.
