Apartment
Designed by Morato Arquitetura, this apartment completed with excellent ergonomics of the furniture, the mildness of colors, the efficient artificial illumination, associated to the good conditions of natural illumination and ventilation. With the ‘clean modification’ spirit, only the wall that separated the elevator hall from the living-room was demolished. In the remaining space, a thin plaster plate detached from the ceiling was inserted with light spots that stand out towards the living-room. This resource enabled the valorization of the main access, “conducting” and “welcoming” the people that arrive at the apartment.

Contemporary House Design
From Architects :” Designed by Architect Ron Seeto,white pavilion with projecting flat roof planes and plenty of glass; skylit and a full length window wall fronting Orakei Basin. The interior reflects the “plush minimalism” aesthetic of this architect. An approach walk over a virtual pond of white stones and a hardwood platform floating over a white chip Zen garden edged by a long thin azure lap pool running the length of the rear boundary continues this theme.”

Modern House Design
Designed by Studio Mas Architecture and Urban Design, situated in Forest Town, Johannesburg, this house attempts to complete the incomplete modernism. Its protest against modern architecture as a freestanding sculpture to be admired in monumental isolation is evident as it attempts rather to produce architecture of frontality respecting the idea of a street.
