Drawing inspiration from the female owner's love for florals, we took our cues from elements found in a garden and infused the space with a subtle sense of tamed wilderness - floral prints, stones, raw wood, greenery etc. Read more »MORE

GREEN TUNNEL - APARTMENT IN SHANGHAI BY RAO QING

By berryberr U11p1t1d21064f9dt20071207165633

This is one home to make many of us green with envy.When Chinese architect Rao Qing bought over this apartment in Shanghai, the interior was a mess. The unit's elongated shape (with windows located only at each end) meant minimal daylight.

URBAN JUNGLE

By berryberr Straits_times_changarchitects

With all these talks about recession, the new prize 'Best Project Below S$1 Million Construction Cost' launched at the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) Awards this year can come at no better time.

The exterior and interior of the house is "a stunning display of urbanized nature, impressing the judges with the magical quality of its spaces". Here, eucalyptus - and apparently squirrels and toads which made their way into the compounds - are your friends. One sees greenery at every corner - living in this house is almost... »MORE

Cool pools at home: a wonderful complilation

By berryberr Mm1

It's official: the days of unimaginative turquoise pools in backyards are truly over. Nowadays, home owners are ditching the traditional look for a much sleeker one. Whether it's a streamlined lap pool, an infinity edge pool or, in Bill Gates' case, a high-tech pool (fitted with underwater music system), the swimming pools of today are integral elements of modern house design both - internally and externally.   Read more »MORE

10 CHIC THERAPEUTIC SPACES

By berryberr Mackenzie

 All of us are bombarded daily by the pressures of work and relationships. We really hate to go back home after a hard day's work to find even more distractions from noisy TVs, kids and neighbors. In short, we just want to forget the mundane stuff and switch our minds off totally - even if it's only momentarily. Interestingly, there's an increasing demand for spaces that seek to 'purify' the soul. Whether it's a room for practicing yoga or a quiet area for reflecting upon oneself, home owners are surely - and definitely - realizing the importance of keeping the... »MORE
