The holiday season is a great time to re-evaluate your kitchen design, especially if you are someone who loves to cook and entertain. You certainly understand the importance of having a well-equipped kitchen with all the latest professional-grade appliances and gadgets to making cooking holiday creations enjoyable and easy. One can never have enough counter space or efficient prepping, cooking and cleaning workstations. This week our issue of Dream Designs features some are most popular kitchen house plans. They are designed with an abundance of cabinetry, island counters, efficient work zones, multiple faucets and sinks and the most innovative and efficient appliances. We’d love to know which design is your favorite.
This house plan features an open living space for the kitchen, great room and dinette.
Gorgeous center island for cooking and seating.
In riding the coattails of our rustic dining rooms article, we wanted to shine some light on these beautiful bedrooms inspired by the same classic styles of Roche Bobois. Only this time the subtle and sophisticated take on modern classic decor is distinguished and gives us a glimpse of hope in making this beautiful era relative to our contemporary and multi-cultural lives.
Now, some of their furniture only appears ancient because of the antique aging process and hand-waxed lacquer finish but the detail in craftsmanship is undeniable so we won’t hold that against them. Using metallic fabrics and bold color in unexpected places while remaining true to the idiosyncratic fashion of the old world is simply a great combination for any period room. Wouldn’t it be grand to wake up in one of these royal-sized beds with the sun shining into your massive french windows as you examine the finishing touches of such flawlessly elaborate architecture and ponder the meaning of life? We’d like to think so…
Here you will see Baroque and Medieval inspired bedrooms with a modern flair. We only hope you come back to reality soon enough to enjoy our next post!
Google work places are known to be fun! These pictures below, are from different offices around Europe.
The work places in Milan, Madrid and Munich were designed by DEGW, a company that usually designs for various Fortune 500 companies, while the one in Zurich was designed by the swiss firm Camenzind Evolution.
The best location in the whole floor plan with the most stunning views of Madrid has been used for this informal/ formal interaction area.
The games rooms used for a relaxing moment. It can also work for internal formal/informal meeting and for social events.

Imaginative designed staff room designed as a playroom.
Workstations.
Break Out area.

Igloo- inspired?
Celebrating individuality?
Individual work spaces to inspire creativity.
Who needs fancy elevators when one has slides?
And here is the Google HQ (In California, Not in Europe)
Thanks, Neety for the tip!

Search giant Google, social networking behemoth Facebook and chirpy microblogging site Twitter may all have great digs, but if you think that the only tech companies that have cool offices reside in the silicon valley you couldn’t be more wrong. Take a look at Russian search engine company Yandex’s offices and you will see what we mean. Created by Za Bor Architects, the space offers interesting focal points and perspectives all through. Considering that this is indeed the company’s fourth office within the country, you could be forgiven for believing their IPOing rumours.
The architectural designers wanted to evoke a cool calm and casual atmosphere that enhanced the computer geek squad’s organic nature and sense of humanity. So they used a whole lot of wood and cork and while keeping most spaces minimal, used fun furniture and played upon the shapes, forms and texture of the walls and ceilings. Walking through the space and seeing the diagonal doorways and blackened ceilings gives the offices an Alice n Wonderland feeling where objects and spaces are not as big and tall as they appear- or maybe they are, but we can imagine it keeps things in the office interesting…
