Hardest thing to do when you have an undersized environment to live in, is to actually make the whole thing look larger. The idea is to make the most of your open space to create an airy effect in your dwelling. However if not handled well, your house may not look appealing anymore. With that in mind, Studio Junction, a Toronto based architecture firm, had brilliantly found a solution to that issue by modernizing the concept of “infill neighborhood” with this amazing courtyard design. The contemporary interior was built for a family of four by blending a traditionally indoor living space and a freshly landscaped natural courtyard.

Designed by Boora Architects the Kitchel residence is located in Northwest Portland, Oregon. Surrounded by forest and lush landscape, this unusual home’s boomerang shape aligns with the terrain.

The most interesting part of this house is the 38-ft. bookshelf that extends from the bedroom, through the hallway and into the office area. Finally you can see from the pictures that a rich natural finish palette connects the house to its site and smoothes transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Located in the Brentwood District of Los Angeles, Canna Road Residence is a dwelling place that is totally beyond your expectation for a mid-century residence. Originally build by a California-based architect Ray Kappe, this house was opportune enough to be beautifully touched up by Michael LaFetra a few years ago — and now the house has been sold at $4,495,000 for someone else to enjoy. Crafted of wood and glass material,the Canna Road Residence consists of a stunning living room, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathroom including a full floor master with roof deck, a conventionally minimalist dining room and a freshly refurbished kitchen. But the best thing of the house — from our perspective — the elegant lighting. It’s totally awesome!
