White interior
Wishes of the customer of the given interior were accurate and simple. The apartment should be similar to apartment of the architect — spacious, filled with light and white.
Fine lay-out of apartment
The apartment is on the top floor of the residential building located in the east of the city of Graz. The house is very successfully located, subcentral, comfortable — with access to balconies and private court yard, with a fine lay-out of apartments.
Having dismantled the majority of walls, architects have transformed standard four-room apartment into a spacious penthouse. There, where division of zones was necessary, glass walls are used.
Architectural minimalism
In apartment there is all necessary; a toilet for visitors, a boiler and the washing machine — all it behind mirror partitions. Architects used the limited number of materials; glass, white furniture, textiles and special gravel for a floor covering.
New evolutionary phase of the Darvinian centre
The Darwin Centre Phase II, additional case Natural History Museum in London, project C. F. Møller Architects became the main winner 2009 Concrete Society Awards.
Outstanding technologies
The building form-cocoon has been poured out on a site — this criterion became solving for a jury estimation. To reach such result, outstanding technologies and efforts were required. The concrete cockleshell impresses with the weight and the sizes.
In the estimate three key problems have been specified in building; the building should contain 20 million plants and insects, a working zone for scientists, and also spatial possibility for interaction of scientists and public. Visitors can make own round on a museum on a cocoon circle.

The house on a beach by Jorge Hrdina
What for the house on the sea if from the house it is not visible the sea is necessary. It seems, architect Jorge Hrdina and thought, building this house almost without walls...
Glass instead of walls

On the top floor a kitchen room and premises with the sliding doors conducting to a small terrace (platform) with several chairs and a barbecue. Before a kitchen room, a balcony and a bedroom 19 metre pool with a glass handrail has been made.
The ground floor also is made so that to keep remarkable visibility. Rooms for children and some premises Here settle down.
Small house on an ocean coast
Besides, in the house there are systems for gathering, storages and clearings of rain water, and the tank for rain water has volume of 25,000 litres. Premises are designed so that ventilation was carried out naturally and only when there comes exclusively hot time air central air joins.
Huge windows, in turn, prolong time of natural illumination of premises, and there is no necessity to include illumination up to the sunset. On a house roof some accumulators and solar batteries for heating of water from a solar energy are located.

External vertical gardens will eat rain water which after use will be mixed with a household waste, after subject to organic processing, for further use in a farm.
In space between wings warm air with which help the premise will be heated in the winter gathers; in the summer natural ventilation, and also evaporations from plants will cool air.

Modern technologies in your house
One of the main complaints about usual TV is that there is never anything good on. We can all remember a time when we sat in our favorite soft armchair in front of the screen television and switched the channels for hours without being able to find a TV channel that really interested us.
The general problem is that local TV and usual cable television simple can't provide for our needs when it comes to qualitative entertainment. There was a time when these TV channels were quite sufficient. But now, we need more, very more...
High-quality Satellite TV
Did you know that a Direct TV Satellite offers over 300 television channels? It is hard to believe, but it is fact. Imagine flipping through so many television channels, all offering interesting programming. Possibly, never again will you have to cry that nothing is on.Upon, if you complain at all, it will be because there are very good TV shows and fascinating movies on that you don't know how to decide what to look. Furthermore, with DIRECT TV, not only do you look over 300 channels, but every one of these channels is brought to you in qualitative HD format.
Modern DIRECT TV for modern TVs
Today, many people have modern HD TVs, but they don't have modern satellite TV. The main problem with this is that to truly enjoy the high-quality images provided by this innovative breakthrough in home entertainment, you have to be watching TV channels that broadcast using this modern technology.
DIRECTTV can really change the way that you experience home entertainment and accordingly your composure. If you are unhappy with usual cable TV, consider Satellite TV now.
