Curtains in Modern Houses no Longer a Point of Interest ?

Tags: modern house design, house design, modern house architecture, contemporary house design

When looking at modern houses lately, I couldn’t help but notice curtains are no longer a point of interest. Their place was taken by the contemporary blinds, which are a lot easier to take care of and manage. To us, they still remain a great decorative item and a pretty convenient one as well. We hope you will let yourself be inspired and remember the old days when curtain ruled the world of indoor arrangements.

Big Dig House From SsD Architects

SsD Architects designed the Big Dig house in Lexington, Massachusetts.

As a prototype building that demonstrates how infrastructural refuse can be salvaged and reused, the structural system for this house is comprised of steel and concrete discarded from Boston's Big Dig utilizing over 600,000 lbs of salvaged materials from elevated portions of the dismantled I-93 highway. Planning the reassembly of the materials in as if it were a pre-fab system, subtle spatial arrangements are created. These materials however are capable of carrying much higher loads than standard structure, easily allowing the integration of large scale roof gardens. Most importantly, the project demonstrates an untapped potential for the public realm: with strategic front-end planning, much needed community programs including schools, libraries, and housing could be constructed whenever infrastructure is deconstructed, saving valuable resources, embodied energy, and taxpayer dollars.
