We know some of you guys enjoy beach home designs so here is an interesting project from Studio27 Architecture located on Fire Island in New York. We’ve heard that all houses in the Pines of Fire region have a similar architecture which is said to reflect the pragmatism of the local community and are easily recognizable due to this factor. However, the architects said they tried to add a little extra “spirit of the shore”  to this particular project and make it stand out. Built from woven cedar boards, the residence has a warm and friendly feel. Its exterior looks quite inviting, particularly the pool area with the beautiful furniture additions. The surrounding trees offer a convenient amount of shade while cheering up the atmosphere. The interiors have a contemporary design and feature modern arrangements.

The America lamp table combination is a contemporary design by Jamie Hayon for Metalarte, available through Hinson Lighting. These unusual, ultra-modern lamp tables combine two workspace essentials in one modernist piece of furniture you’ll love! Available in solid black and white, these tables boast a block shape finished with a luscious glossy coat. The gloss makes its way up the lamp’s base, and up the shade. The contrast between the jet-black exterior and the white interior is so contemporary – very chic. The white lamp too has the same effect, only airier with less drama, with a warm glow radiating out from beneath the glossy white diffuser. For more information on these lamp table combinations, visit Metalarte.

This stylish chandelier comes from Piet Houtenbos and is a mix of contemporary design with a more classical view. “The Halo” is actually a ceramic ring that features six flames. And we mean real fire, the kind that does not have anything to do with the electrical energy bill. This unusual chandelier can function by adding candle oil and it can light up the room 20 hours before needing another round. This is a really interesting design idea, that can completely turn around the way a room feels. It is also said to be highly economical, especially if the product is used in more than one rooms. This may not be the most practical thing, but here’s a thought: one could have both systems installed (electrical and candle light) and switch between them when in need for an atmosphere change.- via Cool Hunting
