Luxurious Mediterranean Lifestyle and an Exclusive Residence in Ibiza

When seeing homes like Blanco de Ibiza, the first thing that crosses my mind is that the ancient Greek gods knew exactly what a healthy, tidy and abundant life was all about. Reflected upon the “mortals”, this made them crave for a god-like lifestyle treatment. It is hard to say what triggers the idea that an exclusive lifestyle comes from “above”, but like me, many imagine that the Mediterrean iconic figures drift into a sea of luxury and comfort. The house was built more than 30 years ago and it has been recently restored by the architect Malales Martinez Canut,  pointing on the perfect blending of two diverse architectural styles, Mediterrean and Spanish.

Blanco de Ibiza, as the name sais it, is a gorgeous large white “palace” with Mediterrean accents and wooden furniture from Bali. The breezy environment sprinkled with natural fabrics such as reed, cotton and the natural colors such as green or blue create the perfect spot for relaxation. With a stunning view upon the Mediterrean Sea, Blanco de Ibiza is simply enchanting. The infinite blue horizon reflects in all those turquise subtle elements  of décor, that scatter over the lounge chairs. Old authentic fabrics meet new, contemporary materials, creating a unique style. Embracing the Mediterrean breeze, the beautiful oasis of tranquility, created by Malales Martinez Canut, expands its charm upon the “mortals”, just like the nectar “conquered” the Greek gods.

Are You Sure Your Home is Safe from All Kinds of Danger?

A home is considered to be one of the most precious components of ones life. Without it a person would have nowhere to return to after a hard days work. So it is very important that ones home is always kept protected from both internal as well as external threats.

Today home security is becoming a rising concern for individuals because crime rate is rapidly increasing. Criminals are on the loose and they spend their time checking out the neighborhood for potential targets to break and enter into. The number of break-ins and robberies that have been reported has steadily been increasing.

People today are scared that their homes can be broken into and valuables stolen at any time. What is even worse is that since their home is not secured from danger, their family members are in a vulnerable position at all times.

Good home security system for peace of mind

Once an individual avails of a good home security system, he will be able to enjoy peace of mind at all times as his family members and valuables will be safe at all times. ADT home security system provide homes with multi-layered protection. The home security system consists of a security surveillance camera that monitors the perimeters of the house at all times. Motion sensors are installed at all entry points of the house as well as throughout the house.

Most burglars think of entering homes through the windows. Merely shutting the windows tight or locking them is not going to be enough to repel these intruders. However, when individuals avail of ADT home security systems, intruders will get caught as s oon as they enter the house due to the presence of motion sensors present all throughout the house.

However, as soon as an intrusion is sensed an ear piercing alarm will be let out that immediately alert the individuals at home as well as the neighbors. In addition the police will also be immediately alerted about the intrusion and help will be dispatched right away.

ADT home security systems are made in such a way that they do not only protect individuals homes from external danger but from internal danger as well. ADT home security system safeguard homes from fire, carbon monoxide emissions and they monitor changes in temperature as well as floods.

In this way they help to ensure that the house is not destroyed due to internal factors. While one is away or busy fire could easily break out and spread all throughout the house and in the process destroy life and property. Carbon monoxide emissions could lead to death of members inside the home if undetect ed and ADT home security systems ensure that these emissions never go undetected.

Damage to property and household valuables could also occur due to floods but ADT home security systems provide 24/7 monitoring of home and immediately notify household members as well as the fire department as soon as any such changes are detected.

Once a person avails of ADT home security systems, they can rest assured that their home is safe from both internal as well as external dangers.

Quiet Sophisticated House in Auckland, New Zealand

Meet extravagance and subtle luxurious details! The residential project, Lucerne House, Auckland, New Zealand designed by Daniel Marshall Architects is the result of an ingenious plan that implied a conceptual reframing of a house. What was really curious and different about it was the insertion of  a garage which had to be concealed and included into the house’s design line. The client’s wish was to obtain that perfect mix of functional and outstanding, in order to accommodate an exquisite line of classic cars. Like the architects said:  “The brief was very specific, with garaging a number of classic cars a primary concern.” 

Having that in mind, the architects created a wide parking area, carefully masking the garage and adding a touch of personality to the residence. As you step inside, you enter a place flooded with light. In my opinion this is the optimum way of creating a joyful environment. The contemporary -classic fusion of black and white, along with the elegant line of furniture inspire comfort and fit perfectly with the client’s taste for classic design. The element of surprise is undoubtedly the chandelier, the artistic object of design that embellishes the living room. Large glossy spheres of glass hang from the ceiling, making an impression on whoever visits this place. Plenty of glass has been used for the finishing, creating a transparent and spacious environment. Nothing seems too much or too little. It’s the right amount of everything to keep those classic details rocking. Neutral and classy, the project is an outstanding home, with outstanding details of interio r design.

Comfortable Rectangular Home in the Idyllic Country of Austria

The Royer House, spotted on Architizer is a compact, rectangular shaped home in Austria, entirely designed by the Kienesberger Schröckenfuchs Architektur firm. The house, located in a quiet neighborhood nearby Wels is ideal for a small family in search of adopting a peaceful lifestyle, being fond of simple, yet comfortable design. Finished in 2010, the project  implies in addition to the house itself, a stunning interior garden, a green space for relaxation, that completes the plain, non-outstanding front street scenario.

The house has a narrow front entrance with narrow windows, creating a shelter of intimacy for its inhabitants. We can easily say that the  Royer House is a surprising, yet contradictory home. Its exterior is wrapped in a plain, minimalistic look, being neither creative nor outstanding. But then, as you seep inside, the landscape is completely transformed. A wide space, flooded by light, with furniture made of beautiful solid natural wood welcomes you in the most warm and homey way possible. The living and kitchen area are connected to the interior garden, offering an amazing view upon the green maze of trees and grass. Large wood framed windows, simple furniture lines, an idyllic garden and a new angle of perception. Comfort has just become more accessible. Would you make this your permanent home?
