Architecture and Home Design

this Luxury Riverfront Home with Beautiful Perth’s Swan River Views is designed by Hartree Architects.
Hartree + Associates Architects is well recognized design practice with a creative, dynamic team of architects and interior designers in Perth, Australia. B-Hive is one of their great contemporary works for a family of five. It’s the luxury riverfront home with beautiful Perth’s Swan River views. The project combine indoor and outdoor areas in order to maximize flexibility and comfort of the family. The design solution involved defining zones of the home and wrapping the public spaces with the roof which itself spans a 17m shelter. Concealing glass panels within the stonework, the large riverside veranda and the infinity-edge pool are things that characterize the house and differ it for many other houses near by.

This futuristic house by Xenian is on display in Sydney, Australia, at a public exhibition for sustainable house design. This environmentally responsible design features modern technologies that trend towards a life of consuming less, wasting less, and relying on alternate forms of energy to create comfort at home. Aptly named the “House of the Future” this modern design was prefabricated – a popular construction method for the eco-conscious requiring less resources and resulting in less site disruption during development. The warm, wooden design boasts low-power LED lighting which gives the home an ultra-modern appeal. Green features include a rainwater harvesting system, passive ventilation, and solar cells embedded in the expansive panes of glass making up the front facade. Outside, a sustainable garden completes the modern residential design.
