Modern staircases not only serve as a functional part of the home, but also as an aesthetic and architectural focal point. It impacts the home's overall design and atmosphere and can be used to express one's style. Differing from traditional stairs that primarily feature wood, modern stairs incorporate various materials, including glass, stainless steel, and more contributing to a more sleek, minimalist look. And, while straight stairs are still a thing, modern staircases can come in various shapes including L-shaped, U-shaped, and spiral. No matter the materials, shape or design, they all have one thing in common: Southern Staircase is a trusted partner and source for modern staircase design, construction and installation. #stairexperts #stairsbysouthern #moderndesign #architecture

PLANNING APPROVED for our boutique terrace of family houses in Ealing. Whilst the typical historic typology of a terrace is uniform, the strategy includes subtle differences to the architectural elements. These include window fenestration, balustrade materiality, brick detailing to openings and tonal brick colours to the facades. The difference provides further interest to the facades and a distinct character to the scheme. The spaces between the dwellings at the upper floors give relief to the massing. The uniformity of a terrace is retained in the appearance of repeated pairs of semi-detached dwellings. The eaves line and dormers incorporating double storey windows help to alter the scale and levels within the dwellings. The part two storey extruding element to the front of the dwellings provides the opportunity to create modest first floor terraces with porch entrances below. The rear first floor elements help to articulate a rhythm to the terrace with corner windows orientated towards Craven Avenue. #architecture #architecturerlovers #archilovers #architecturedesign #RIBACharteredPractice #contemporaryarchitecture #cgi #dezeen #architecturephotography #ealing #ealinghomes #archdaily luxgrove homes | savills | blackpointdesignltd | Markides Associates | AD Trees | Point2 | Energylab_ | Epd landscape | Justfacades

The entry to our Cohen Davis Residence happens in-between a bunch of layered and interacting building elements: both the floor and the wood ceiling spanning the interior and exterior, the free-standing black brick walls, the reclaimed wood screens found both on the outside and inside, a few wall elements, and a set of trellises that are partly adjustable to choose between natural light and rain protection. .. slideshow: #cohendavisresidence #frontentry .. #modernhome #modernhomes #modernhouse #modernhomedesign #modernarchitecture #ncarchitecture #ncarchitects #nchomes #raleigharchitecture #charlottearchitecture #ashevillearchitecture #wilmingtonarchitecture #raleighhomes #charlottehomes #ashevillehomes #wilmingtonhomes #luxuryhomes #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhome #highend #architecture #architect #nc #sc #va #raleigh #durham #chapelhill #greensboro #charlotte #asheville #greenvillesc #wilmington #columbia #roanoke #blueridgemountains #trianglearea #modernist #modern #energyefficient #highperformance #green #modernrealestate #home #house

How lighting can transform ordinary buildings into architectural beauties by being strategic in the approach. Styles of Lighting: Blanket vs Layered Lighting can dramatically enhance a building's appearance and atmosphere. Two contrasting approaches are: Blanket Lighting: Evenly illuminating the entire facade, creating a consistent glow. This highlights the architecture's overall form and symmetry. Layered Lighting: Highlight key architectural features like columns, entryways, and rooflines. This adds depth, texture, and visual interest. For the stately government building, Custom House Quay, the blanket lighting creates an imposing impression. Meanwhile, the layered approach on the grand manor house, Carton House emphasises its ornate details and grandeur. Both styles have their merits - blanket lighting for a bold, uniform look, layered for a more dynamic, nuanced effect. The choice depends on the building's architecture and the desired aesthetic. Which style would you prefer? I know I definitely have my favourite!

To be successful, architecture must be considerate of the relationships it establishes with its surroundings. This low-slung summer pavilion does just so, sitting in open conversation with the landscape, enabling those dwelling within it to spend extended periods of time within this estate’s gardens. #shhlondon #architecture #pavilion #residential #architects #interiors #contemporary #londonproperty #luxuryproperty #outdoordesign #gardendesign #outdoorluxury
