House feature : the colors

[Dages]

This "feature" topic is not about a general "type", but more about a precise feature that you find very important for your personal taste.

 

This one is definitely in my toplist : the colors... the tones... this is what gives a real feeling of warmth/cozyness to a place, imho.

 

Here is an example :

Look at these dark tones (and the stairs are just gorgeous). I love this.

 

Generally, the house is very nice, and these wood/dark walls are really my style.

 

These stairs, woah...

 

 

 

This is a nice house, but way too big to be convenient, in my opinion. I don't want to spend my day cleaning it.  

 

Do you like these colors? What is your style?

Other house, typical Santorin island one : WHITE !

Pool, all white, the way the wall are made, like it's digged in the rock... and the awesome view... I'd love to get there.

 

This "cave-like" walls are great, I like this so much.

 

Night style is great too.

 

Do you like this?

[Dages]

After wood/brown and white walls, here is another one.

 

No, the color feature isn't really understandable in this picture.

 

Let me show you :

Yeah, rocky wall, but this one isn't the usual grey rock one, it's more white/beige, it's quite common in Bordeaux, France (this house is in Greece, though) and it's a nice feature : it makes the inside of the building fresh in summer but still have a warm feeling all year round.

These walls could be in an old house in Bordeaux, like 2 century old building we still have (my former appartment had such walls in its communal area/stairs, the place was wayy to tiny though, and I won't mention the humidity errrffgh)

 

Bonus picture, with some private garden. I love it.

A "color" post, it's been a while, but the last house posted in Archdaily has a nice "color"... or, to be more precise here : lightning, color is about light after all  

 

Look at this picture.

I don't know, usually I quickly pass through all the pictures but this one made me stop... the light is great here.

 

Besides that, it's a typical modern house

 

I like it (beside some brutalist walls... meh) I like the bottom of the picture, this large flat steps

 

Here again.

 

Here is the floor plan as usual... this is too big

I thought my taste was a bit eclectic  - love ultra modern mixed with "natural" - rich earthy woods, metals and stone.

 

Turns out it not eclectic taste, just expensive taste!!  LOL

It's ok, in Paradise, money isn't a problem  

[Dages]

This is a nice lake house

 

Grey and orange-y (evening) because of the light in the woody interior... hmm

Other side :

Gorgeous

 

It's by a lake 

Look at that fireplace... nice !

This one too

Same on the exterior

 

I like this bedroom, the wood, and it's huge !

 

The one of the left doesn't feel necessary to me (you can see it's interior is more "modern" in the website)

A dock with a boat would be better  

But heh, if you want to invite people, they could stay there.

Greece has great houses

 

 

I like the olive tree like that, with the rock

 

The view is very nice

The walls, the shadow to be inside and outside at the same time... 

one step back 

 

These colors, the wood, the light

it's just comfy

 

When you wake up from your nap, a nice view too.

 

You know I like these walls

 

These steps 😍

 

Interesting plan

[Dages]

Greece again, definitely nice house, but it's a shame some area are burnt by the sun... I like dem trees, u know.

 

This one is the blending in the environnement type, I like this a lot.

 

Alors, nice view on the sea

 

I like these walls, you know that now :

 

At first, I thought the whole house was inside the hill, but it's not the case

 

It's small and simple

 

One tree... I want mooooore !

 

I like the colors

I love the one that made you stop and look at it.  Thats what you said.  I love wood and stone.  I have a picture on my refrigerator so I can show the architecture when we get into the New World and Jehovah gives the green light to start building.

 

I love warmth and earth tone colors.  I love stone as sell.  In my minds eye I can see my new home.  Simple is beautiful.  Right in front of the ocean if Jehovah allows.  Oh yeah, and a pool.

Yes!

 

Here is another one, from France (south of it... most French people dream about a house in the south for their retirement )

 

Design is pretty modern

 

But this "orange/beige", I love it

 

It's great with the green around

 

I like this. Very smooth

[Dages]

Another color for wood in this hawaiian house

 

 

 

Near the sea... nice

Orange/Green/Blue hmm

 

And this one :

Love the darker tone for the evening

 

On another note, this creamy white here is great, massive natural light

[Dages]

An interesting house from Vietnam

 

Color is about light... so shadows count  

Nature inside

 

I'd rather not have other houses in front of this window, for privacy purpose, but the green and the colorful pebbles are nice.

 

Look at this "blue"

&&

 

I like it

[cme]

I love this blue concept.  It makes me feel like I was one with the universe or even the sea.  I love it.  I hope I can duplicate this concept in the NW.  (i hope).

Same idea, that's the point of the topic, giving idea we would enhance and reproduce in Paradise.

[Dages]

I've just found a nice house in a forest and this time, this will show a bad example of "colors"

 

That's a shame... everything is the same color  

I like the windows at the top, bringing tons of natural light.

 

Also, too much windows here  

Let's draw closer

That's a nice area.

The house also has a good view

 

I like the left side, visible in the first picture

Glass half full - That house is a blank canvas, ready for someone to make it dazzle with colors...  Just need to convince the owner to give it up...  

Maybe in the new world...

True... look at the beams above... They would be so much better in a darker tone... minimum Mahogany

Yeah.  I gotta find this painting app on my phone.  The colors looked real and not fake.  It's how we figured out that teal would work in our kitchen(I was sooo wrong about that).

Picture no workie

[coolbrz731]

Here's another example of what doesn't work.  I think it might one up yours....  😁

 

I believe this is what you had in mind with the beams and color?

 

[Dages]

Second one yes.

Not a fan of the grey wall

 

[Dages]

Greece again, the best colors  and here is even the Google Map location

 

Green ! It's nice for Greece, landscape is often quite "barren".

 

 

 

These walls, hmmmm

 

Lavanda 

 

Have a look at the other picture to see the inside, very nice, very humble.

Here is the floor plan

I hope in the NW (if Jehovah allows) I could move to Greece.  I've always wanted to live there.  The homes and the architect speaks to me.  I feel that I belong.  Dages, I will come up with a blueprint and hopefully you will build.

 

I imagine my dad being resurrected (how I long to see him) and have him near me.  So much to do in the NW.

I fully agree about the fact that Greece looks amazing and I love the design of the houses there.

[cme]

As I contemplate the possibilities of one of these homes could be mine.....a little change though.  Maybe one room for another or, dining area I stop to think that I'm already planning my new home.

 

It brings tears of happiness.   (don't mind me, I'm just dreaming for now.)
