Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders is an architecture, construction and interior design company with headquarters in the Cape Cod Villages of Chatham and Osterville, Massachusetts. House At Harding Shores Overlook is a residential project overlooking beautiful landscapes. The architects say that it was “designed to take advantage of water views from every room, has an airy, cottage feeling with its bead board detailing and walls painted the colors of sea and sky, sand and beach glass”. The house has a beautiful and classic exterior, with mellow colors and a wooden roof finish, but don’t be fooled by how it looks on the outside. The place is very modern in terms of utilities and latest high-living trends. Some features really caught our attention: a master suite surrounded by windows, giving it a 180 degree panoramic view to Buck’s Creek, an outside fireplace and the children’s rooms with bunk beds, a display of color and fun.

Lake Washington is a natural lake located in the United States and also the second largest lake in Washington. The “Lake Washington Residence” is a project from Johnston Architects, which combines old with new and the past with the present. The residence was built for a young family who wanted to keep a feeling of casua in their new home, but instead have large, bright and modern rooms. The results were spectacular, as you can see in the pictures which follow the text. Protective steel was added to the glass and wooden isolating materials in order to “fight” those harsh winters and keep the place nice and cosy.

Located on the corner of West 67th Street, this is the newest Apple Store and also the 15′th Apple store in New York. This one was opened on November 14 and the first 2500 costumers received free limited edition T-shirts. The architecture is imposing and the building also impresses due to its large dimensions. The top floor is actually a large presentation room with plenty of tables. The “action” takes place underground, where many other products are exhibited.  The store has more than 200 employees and includes  a Genius Bar, where visitors can get free advice from the technical team. In matters of products, it is said to be just like any Apple store, only bigger.  We  tried to upload many pictures so that you will have a virtual tour experience of this new Apple store.  Enjoy!- via Gizmodo

Zaha Hadid is known for her futuristic projects and for her numerous international competition awards. Her newest design is striking in terms of resources and scales.  The National Museum of the XXI Century Arts, or the MAXXI Museum has recently been opened for the public in Rome, a city most know for its ancient values, rather than modern buildings and technology. The colossal building is located close to the Flaminio Station, reachable by Metro. It took 10 years to build and it evolved impressive sums of money. It is said that no major exhibitions are yet programmed, but we’ve heard names like Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Anish Kapoor whose works will most likely be presented. -via Jaunted
