Luxury Villa Panorama Voulas, Greece


Named Oikia Panorama Voulas the chic villa has been designed by Athens-based design studio Dimitris Interiors Economou. Completed in 2006 the luxury villa is located in the suburb of Panorama, Voula in Athens, Greece.

According to the architects: “The house was custom designed, constructed using only the finest materials and the interior design incorporated some of the best Italian branded furniture.

“The contemporary Greek house includes all state-of-the-art features you would expect from a luxury property such as; high tech phone center, alarm system and computer network, in-floor heating controlled on each floor, central A/C temperature control in every room,  Dolby surround-sound cinema, playroom, central satellite system, central vacuum system, self cleaning Pilkington windows, heated swimming pool with natural pebble finish and an outdoor Jacuzzi.

“The contemporary Greek property also features an indoor waterfall, custom lighting as well as an indirect lighting scheme in all the main areas including the master bedrooms and the two bathrooms.” Images courtesy of DimitrisEconomou Interiors.

Contemporary Garay House, California


              
California-based design studio Swatt Miers Architects have designed the Garay House project. Completed in 2010, this contemporary property can be found in Tiburon, California, USA.

According to the architects: “The owners wished of one day transforming their low, one-storey home into a setting befitting their spectacular site perched above San Francisco Bay. Their dreams began to be realized in 2005 with the design of an extention, coupled with the complete renovation of their existing contemporary Californian house.

“The site is a half-acre south-facing hillside parcel, with unobstructed views of San Francisco Bay to the south, east and west. Responding to the physical conditions of the site, the new contemporary Californian house is almost entirely opaque on the north side where a new entrance motor court is defined by a rhythm of five ‘free-standing’ stone-clad walls. Slivers of glass separate the stone panels, creating a strong rhythm while giving little hint of the extraordinary spaces and views on the other side.
