Lozenges?

This house is a different shape - I called it a lozenge, but like the round homes it is all open plan space.

The lozenge shape is conceived to gain the benefit of a panoramic view with a sweeping patio area surrounding the living space.  Bathroom, utility room and the staircase are tucked away at the back and the TV lounge has doors for soundproofing.
The Lozenge House Floor Plan
The renders are not the best on this but I have been unable to recreate them because it used a design flaw in the programme to create multi-level homes

Open plan kitchen with windows situated behind the cabinets to maximise lighting.
A free standing display storage unit screens the staircase
A second display unit is situated between the kitchen and the glazed doors providing access to the TV Lounge
The living space is nestled in the central area to benefit from a sweeping patio and the fabulous views

A selection of fantasies ...

Here is a design I made a while ago - not a big fancy fantasy as such ... but I cannot do clutter free - I just cannot keep it up! So this small space is very much fantasy in being just that!


This narrow and long modern living room is decorated in pale neutrals
and incorporates glass and mirrors for that 'barely there' so 'I am a bigger room' look
This is not a house but a Zen themed garden area:

I have always loved water encapuslated into a garden - this luxury formal pool is the centrepiece surrounded by shaded seating areas with the sound of running water from the cascade and the rustle of bamboo in the breeze
And this one is a luxurious master suite:

Soft colours, the luxury of a four poster bed and through the archways glamorous ensuite
and dressing room facilities - what more could a woman want to help her get a restful night?

Obviously I like quirky little spaces ...
I called this one "Noodle Soup" - it has that oriental flavour again with the bamboo, the lanterns, touches of lucky red, ducks.
It has circular decking and a view right through to the sea, rocks and distant mountains.

Staying with an outdoor theme there is this little weekend hideaway 


With a little moat and drawbridge to gain access and outdoor dining and relaxing areas
I would love to head out to this little cabin after a week at work ...

The magic of Christmas ... a childhood fantasy?

Santa is peeping through the window to see if the coast is clear for him to pop the presents under the  pretty twinkling Christmas Tree ... and the reindeer take a rest
