So next time you are feeling bored with the look of your home, remember that simple redesign elements can go a long way in enabling you to create a new look and feel for your home.

As such, home design or redesign is not something anyone should be intimidated by, as it is something that can be achieved with relative ease. Incorporating smaller design elements into the larger context of your home will not have much of an impact on your schedule and will certainly not disrupt the normal functioning of your household. This means you can update the look of your home and feel like you have created a radically different area without having to spend a lot of money or dedicate a lot of valuable resources to the project. As such, it is possible to incorporate some modern home design element into your existing home and radically influence its overall look and feel without having to engage in any major renovations. Home design trends are continually evolving and incorporating new themes and ideas into the larger spectrum of fashionable home design.

ZGF Has A New Portland Home

Somehow, we've missed this addition to the Portland skyline. Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects (ZGF) has a new home at 12th and Washington and is on track to achieve LEED (NC) Platinum and LEED (CI) Platinum. The new building has wind turbines on the roof that will generate 1% of the building's energy needs. Those turbines were mounted in mid-August.

Other sustainable features include a 6,000-sq.-ft. terrace and eco-roof that serves to mitigate storm water and reduce the building's heat island effect. Office ventilation mainly is achieved through a combination of an Underfloor Air Distribution System (UFAD) and natural ventilation. The system provides individual control through adjustable diffusers at each workstation. Passive chilled beams will aid in cooling on particularly hot days. Passive chilled beams are perforated metal panels mounted near the ceiling and chilled with cold water tubing.

The new mixed-use building not only will house ZGF, but will have street-level retail space, four floors of office space (for ZGF) and 17 floors of residential living space.

Swedish interior design is white. Right? What's really hot is when Swedish designers turn to the dark side. This stunning minimalist space may just tempt you to follow their lead. Innovative, contemporary and urban. Seriously beautiful work by Stockholm based Erik Andersson Architects. Found here in their dream home section.
