Outside & Inside A Modern Slanting Cement House in Amstelveen





In a nature area between Amsterdam, Amstelveen and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, lies the Kostverlorenkade 1; an island measuring 1200m2. Here, VMX architects have built a very unusual modern 500m2 house named the Sodae House.




The starting point for the concept was the perception of the landscape, the distant high buildings of the Zuidas and the Rembrandt Tower as well as the view of the airplanes traveling to and from Schiphol.



The house forms an object in the landscape; the island acts as the plinth.



The living room and kitchen are arranged in a loft-like space on the first floor. The more intimate areas (bedrooms and bathrooms) are situated on the ground floor, oriented towards the garden on the backside. The basement contains an additional fitness room and a home cinema.

Client: Sylvie Murphy
Location: Amstelveen
Size: 500 m2
Design: 2005-2007

I Vant To Buy Your House. Twilight: New Moon Cullen Mansion For Sale.





The five bedroom, four bathroom Vancouver house that serves as the Cullen vampire family's home in the highly anticipated movie Twilight: New Moon is now for sale for $3.82 million.



Yes, the actual home in which Robert Pattinson skulked around sexily in the second movie, which opens Nov. 20, in the franchise. Not to be confused with the stunning Hoke residence by Skylab Architecture that served as the Cullen home for the first movie, which is also worth a look.

You can even view a glimpse of the home in a spy photo from the soon to be released movie here.

The home is a stunning contemporary post and beam design with an open floor plan, a long private drive, a koi pond, outdoor swimming pool, professional chef's kitchen and beautiful wood framed clerestory and picture windows that fill the large spaces with light. Cherry wood cabinetry and two fireplaces are just a few of the impressive touches.

If You've Got The Money, They've Got The Time. And Location. DUMBO, Brooklyn ClockTower Is For Sale.






UPDATE: Since this post, the price continues to drop on this property. Now available for $18,000,000.

One of the world's most spectacular triplex residences, the ClockTower, with views to die for and a price tag of $25 million, has just gone on the market. Perched atop One Main Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn, the light, airy and open modern space is punctuated by four enormous functioning clocks that double as windows.




Originally built in 1914, the iconic ClockTower space, already famous for its four gigantic clocks, has been transformed into a 7,000 square foot penthouse with fabulous living and entertaining quarters, state-of-the-art technology and arguably NYC's most extraordinary views.




The ClockTower residence was designed and renovated by David Walentas, the developer and principal of Two Trees. Walentas, who had the vision to shape DUMBO into the sought-after neighborhood it is today, spent years crafting the ClockTower into a discerning, unique property. "We meticulously re-created the original space into a home that offers arguably one of the world's greatest views," said Walentas. "The ClockTower itself rises close to the East River and offers sweeping vistas of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge and the entire New York City Skyline."




Atrium is open through the three floors:


The elevator to the ClockTower has a private key access and opens onto a contemporary atrium. The ClockTower boasts strikingly modern design, superb entertainment spaces, and comfortable living quarters, with panoramic views throughout the residence. "It supersedes real estate; it's a work of art that cannot be duplicated," said Asher Abehsera, Vice President for Two Trees residential properties.

Panoramic Views:



Spacious walk-in closets, solid rift-sawn white oak floors, an Italian custom-made kitchen featuring white lacquer cabinets, stainless steel, Pietra Cardosa countertops and Gaggeneau appliances are all part of the residence's luxurious and functional appeal.

Kitchen:




Above all, it is the allure of the four clockface windows, the overwhelming natural light, and unrivaled views that distinguishes this spectacular space from all others. Even the gorgeous pedestal bathtub in the master bathroom looks out onto sweeping vistas of lower Manhattan:
