Holy Hagy Belzberg! Brand New $28.8 Million Dollar Estate Off The Sunset Strip Is For Sale.

1232 Sunset Plaza Drive is more than a home, more than an estate... it's a fricken' compound. The recently completed home was designed by Hagy Belzberg and is a secluded, resort-like sanctuary with three distinct structures - a Main Residence, Wellness Center and Guest House. The 13,000 total square foot home has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. The main residence is 10,500 square feet, the guest home offers an additional 1,750 square feet of living space and a separate 750 square foot gym completes the 3-structure compound.

This Hamilton Island house, known as Solis, was designed by Renato D’Ettorre Architects. Solis was created from concrete imprinted with a timber grain and the floors are a cool limestone to suit tropical living. The pool stretches almost to the living area for a relaxed holiday feel.

The stunning Angophora House by Richard Cole Architecture, a small design based studio located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, was just shortlisted in the Australian 2013 Houses Awards in the category of New House over 200 square meters. And I've got a thorough look at both the exterior and interior for you.

This extraordinary 3-4 bedroom apartment occupies the top 3 floors of a magnificent Grade-II listed building on one of South Kensington’s most prestigious garden squares (private access granted). It has a dramatic and imaginative interior designed by the architect Riet Eeckhout.

The apartment is the result of two years of planning and listed-building consent, alongside a complete restoration and modernisation of the interior spaces with an artisanal attention to detail. Eeckhout has restored the original Victorian features while making sculptural insertions that bring the spaces to life.

The property is entered on the third floor (there is no lift), and offers almost 1,800 sq ft of internal space. The lower floor contains a wonderful open-plan reception room and kitchen with a double aspect. The middle floor has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a study, and there is a further double bedroom and bathroom in the eaves on the top floor.

The centrepiece of the reception room is a storage unit in African Cavazinca, which folds around the space and forms the doors for the kitchen units, providing a visual contrast to the Porfido granite worktops.

The bedrooms have bespoke wardrobes in white oak. The property has been rewired, replumbed and sound-proofed, with electric under-floor heating in the bathrooms and Miele appliances in the kitchen.

The double bedroom and bathroom located in the eaves on the top floor:

This property is being offered through The Modern House for £2,250,000

Lake Washington Shores Pavilion House Blends Cement, Steel and Woods To Create A Showcase For Art.

This 6,800 sq. ft home is a collaborative effort between by architect Jim Olson of Olson Kundig Architects, and interior designer/ furniture designer Garret Cord Werner. The home goes by a couple of names depending on with whom you speak. Olson Kundig refer to it as The Pavilion House, while Garret Cord Werner calls it The Lake Washington Shores Art House. Regardless of the name, the breathtaking structure merges the exterior & interior spaces to provide a seamless environment with the northwest landscape.

Outside spaces mimic the interior in function: living area with fireplace, kitchen, dining area, expansive lawn, long terrace.

The Lake Washington Shores home was designed for entertaining and especially displaying the client's extensive northwest art collection. Reclaimed Mahogany woods, nickel plated steel sections and cement were used throughout the whole house to create a unified atmosphere with an elegant yet comfortable finish.

The house showcases art from various Pacific Northwest artists such as Cris Bruch, Kenneth Callahan, Rob Snyder , Dennis Evans, Nancy Mee, Lino Tagliapietra, and Catherine Eaton Skinner to name a few.

Olson considers those who worked on the home also to be artists: interior designer Garret Cord Werner, lighting designer Brian Hood and landscape architect Charles Anderson.

"I lived near the water a long time, but I never felt it until here," says the homeowner of this Bellevue home designed by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig Architects. "It's all about floating and dreaming," says Olson.

The dramatic center pavilion is the focus of the architecture displaying a grand thirty-five foot long dining table by Garret Werner that floats on two pedestals. The table, which can seat 40 people, was engineered and constructed out of reclaimed mahogany wood and nickel plated steel sections and may be disassembled to provide a flexible party space.

Flanking the center pavilion is a floating living room over a reflecting pond and a media room family area at the opposite end with kitchen and bar. All the cabinets were designed by Garret Werner for the home. In the center console in the entertainment room, a projector comes up from inside to project across into the media room.

Custom furniture designer by Werner fills the comfortable living areas.

Working in collaboration with Jim Olson, the master bathroom floor plan was redesigned from initial floor plans and was transformed into an inside-out experience.
