Houses With Unexpected Designs

This house from Brissago, Switzerland looks incredibly simple, like a concrete monolith with cut out windows from place to place. It looks as if it’s been on that slope all along and only recently carved into a home. It’s a great look managed by Wespi de Meuron Romeo Architects. Because it sits on a steep slope, the houses has the entrance on the top floor and the parking lot up on the roof level. Its raw concrete facades are minimalist and intriguing and the interior matches this look.

Concrete Lamps And Their Unexpected Warming Effect On Our Homes

We’ve established that wood pendant lamps make spaces feel warm, cozy and inviting so, using that logic, should concrete lamps make a space feel cold and austere? Not at all. Even though concrete is a rough and cool material, it doesn’t really have the expect effect on the interior décor of a room. In fact, it can make a space feel quite homey and enjoyable.

Concrete Lamps In Our Homes

They look like they’re made of paper but they’re actually cast in concrete. These lamps and pendants are designed by Miriam Aust and Sebastian Amelung and they have paper-like creases and folds which give them a really authentic look. They’re really fun and they make great gifts and home accessories.

Cool and Modern DIY Concrete Projects

Concrete is, believe it or not, a very versatile material. It’s not used just in big projects and buildings but also for smaller, DIY projects. You can make all sorts of things out of concrete and it’s actually quite easy. It’s a material that allows you to shape it however you want without too much effort. Let’s take a look at some projects.

Concrete Projects In Design

Concrete is the perfect material for a DIY bookend. It’s heavy and easy to work with. For example, you can make a diamond-shaped bookend. The mold can be made of cardboard and, once the concrete is dry, you peel it off.

Design Of Concrete Lamps

Concrete is a great material for a lamp base because it’s heavy and sturdy. Also, you can make the base in any shape and size you want. This desk lamp can be made from scratch when you have some spare time
