The Design of Japanese Houses

Traditional designs tend to think of the inside and outside of a house as a continuous element, not two separate environments.

In spite of modernization, Japanese traditions have not been eradicated. As with most Asian countries, removal of the shoes before entering a house is customary and in even Westernized homes, a room can be found with a tatami (Japanese mat) covering it.

And straight from the design forums someone is looking for an iPhone app creator.

"I am looking for a designer who can quickly build a prototype of an iPhone App for major U.S. publishing houses and bestselling authors. If the App is bought by my clients, and I expect it will be, it will be a lucrative payment. Please email me at jason(AT)precedentonline.com if you are interested in more information."

    Backyard Luxury

    Monday, June 23, 2008

    Everyone put on their imagination caps for a moment. If you lack such a cap then you better be wealthy if you intend on reading the post. =o)

    Design architect Scott Cohen took an empty backyard and created something divine! From pools to pavilions and circular spas it is everything luxury should be and more.

    Cohen's company, The Green Scene, is one of the fastest-growing outdoor landscape design and construction firms in the Los Angeles area. I wonder if he has some sort of special scholarship plan for those who live in Delaware. hehe.

    This is certainly not something my Mom would see on HGTV's "Design on a Dime." However, today Scott's work will be on HGTV for their "Sizzling Outdoor Kitchen" presentation.

    I really appreciate the lighting techniques he uses in his outdoor design. Though I am not sure how one can have so many founts of electric running through their lawn, I do believe illumination can make any scene look all the more ambient and relaxing.

    I've looked through a lot of the illustrations and finished spaces on The Green Scene. Man it is inspiring to see what can be done. It would be awesome to see what he could do on a smaller budget, too. Very cool.

    Luxury Home Tour

    Monday, August 27, 2007

    According to the Tampa Bay Journal, Alvarez Homes, Hyde Park Builders, Pristine Homes and Terra Nova Ventures were chosen as builders for the 2007 Greater Tampa Bay Luxury Home Tour.

    The 2nd Annual Greater Tampa Bay Luxury Home tour showcases spectacular million-dollar homes as well as million-dollar ideas. These one-of-a-kind homes are furnished and decorated and valued from $1.1 million to $4.9 million

    It sounds fun to me, I have to say. It would be like that MTV show "Cribs" wouldn't it? Except you know, live and tangible instead of through the lens of a videographer.
