The way we finish buildings on the exterior is essential for not only practical reasons (to keep buildings dry) but also for aesthetics. In this house in Stamford, Lincolnshire, we used treated timber cladding. The aim of the design was to create a 'floating' pod that doesn't conform to the existing building's form and alignment. The cedar wood has been used as full lengths (from top to bottom) as well as the window reveal linings. When you have a simple facade like this, details are essential – screws, equally spaced and aligned, keep the cladding in position but don't over-dominate. The windows with a darker frame to act as an aperture rather than being seen as a window. #ModernArchitecture #ContemporaryDesign #SustainableArchitecture #ArchitecturalDetails #ExteriorDesign #ArchitecturePhotography30

Why should you choose Semi-Dry Pediments? Semi-dry pediments are a specific type of architectural element used to decorate and enhance the aesthetic of buildings, often found above entrances, windows, or as part of the facade. They typically feature detailed, decorative designs tailored to complement specific architectural styles and can serve as a transitional element between different parts of a building, creating a cohesive look. The production of semi-dry pediments focuses on achieving sharp, precise details and a smooth finish that enhances their decorative appeal.

Architectural Archetypes by Invi Air Diffusers: Continuums. Invi Air’s continuous linear diffusers are perfect for hugging any winding architectural design whether with straight-cornered lines or curved ones. Invi Air’s custom-made curved linear diffuser on the ceiling follows the curve of the architectural design. Unlike any other air diffuser, Invi Air’s diffusers are entirely frameless and flush fit perfectly on the surface on which they’re installed. Matching the straight lines of a panoramic window, where the ceiling meets the walls and window frames, our frameless linear completes the overall design of this full-view living room. Installed completely behind the drywall, Invi Air’s diffusers blend in perfectly with the level of the surface, leaving only an elegant thin continuous slot. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

In architecture, MOLDING refers to decorative strips of material used to embellish or outline various architectural elements such as walls, ceilings, doors, and windows. Molding can be made of various materials such as wood, plaster, or synthetic materials, and it comes in a variety of shapes and styles, including crown molding, baseboard molding, and chair rail molding. Molding is used to add visual interest, depth, and elegance to interior and exterior spaces. Both spellings, "moulding" and "molding," are correct, and the usage depends on regional preferences. In British English, "moulding" is typically preferred, while in American English, "molding" is more commonly used. However, both terms refer to the same architectural decorative elements and can be used interchangeably in most contexts. #Architecture, #ArchitecturalDesign, #FloorPlan, #2DFloorPlan, #3DDesign, #3DModeling, #Molding, #CrownMolding, #InteriorDesign, #HomeDecor

" The importance of color is as nothing compared with that of form, chiaroscuro and arrangement. They are the true and enduring bases of pictorial art " A chiaroscuro effect by a trapezium flattened cylinder finished with two oblique openings mounted on wall surface, a linear suspended lighting fixture with thin line floating that allows you also the addition of one or two eyeball accent lights and tiny ceiling recessed trimless lighting spots provide a powerful sophisticated combination that express to the maximum the interior architecture of the space. Minimum effort with maximum result. #relightcyprus #lighting #lightingdesign #studiolighting #ledlighting #naturallighting #highlighting #interiorlighting #modernlighting #luxurylighting #homelighting #lighting_design #lightinginspiration #designerlighting #setlighting #lightbeam #elegance #interiordesign #architectural #archidesign #minimanllighting #elegantdesign #minimaldesign #supermodularlighting

This design is exceptional for its organic curvature and fluidity, which sets it apart from traditional rigid architectural forms. The structure is enveloped in a dynamic, helical ribbon that gracefully ascends, giving the impression of movement. This spiral element not only serves as a striking visual centerpiece but also likely houses a staircase, integrating functionality with sculptural form. The building's transparent facade allows for an abundance of natural light and a strong connection with the surrounding landscape. The harmonious blend of natural elements, water features, and carefully curated landscaping with the building’s modern, flowing design creates a tranquil oasis. It stands as a testament to imaginative design, merging art with architecture to create a space that is as much about experience as it is about function.

Invi Air's Coastal Solutions - Lay-In For Wood. Many coastal homeowners prefer wooden ceilings and walls to avoid cracks on painted plaster surfaces caused by the salt air (wooden surfaces can be maintained with protective coatings). Invi Air’s unique installation technique of frameless air diffusers, which are installed completely behind the drywall, is the only architectural solution for wooden surfaces. Our Lay-In for Wood air diffuser model works great for a wood ceiling. The diffuser is rabbeted to sit in a matching pocket behind the wood plank to provide a sleek integrated look appearing to have just a slot in the wood ceiling. Cool. #Architecture #InteriorDesign

🔹 What is a Skirting Board? 🔹 A skirting board, also referred to as a stair stringer, is a key architectural component installed along one or both sides of a staircase. While it serves as a decorative feature, skirting boards also play a functional role by concealing gaps between the stairs and the wall, preventing dust accumulation, and protecting walls from scuffs and damage. Beyond aesthetics, skirting boards can enhance a staircase's structural integrity, providing added strength. Available in various materials such as wood, composite, or even stainless steel, they can be tailored to match the home's design, whether smooth, textured, painted, or stained. #Architecture #StaircaseDesign #InteriorDesign #HomeImprovement #Construction #DesignInnovation

Using a singular material for the floors at Currumbin Waters House – in the Ash Grey brick tiles – creates seamless continuity and a robust, aesthetic and tactile flooring solution. “We’ve always liked Robertson’s brick tiles because you can’t get many tiles that are the same format as a brick, on edge. They’re also so thin and stable, and in some parts the ceilings in the old house were less than 2.4m at different points, so we had to use a really thin tile so it was compliant. If you want to use a cut brick, it’s 30mm thick and it’s really expensive because of the labour, whereas the Robertson’s brick tiles are a really good solution,” Morgan Jenkins, Co-founder & Creative Director @nielsen.jenkins Architect: @nielsen.jenkins Brick tile: Ash Grey brick tiles Builder: @aandjbuilding Landscape: @nielsen.jenkins Photography: @tomross.xyz #robertsonsbuildingproducts #architecture #architeacturaldesign #australianarchitecture #minimal #contemporaryarchitecture #archiporn #archidaily #australiandesign #brickface #minimalist #interiorarchitecture #bricktilesforlife #bricktiles #archilovers #brickslips #tilesforlife #thinbricktiles #currumbinwaters
