New York Times on the Disney Dream Home

http://www.treehugger.com/disney-interior.jpg

"In a strange coincidence, the very week that the Dream Home opened, at the other end of the Disney corporation’s spectrum, Pixar had just released the dystopian “Wall-E” — a film premised on a world choked by garbage and waste, and made uninhabitable, at least in part, by things like gargantuan homes that make little or no concession to the limited resources out there and our heedless lack of stewardship....

The feeling of the Dream Home is of a dwelling from 2004, before the subprime mortgage crisis and $140-a-barrel oil. It is an exurban mausoleum, representing the kind of house that can be reached only by a decreasingly affordable car.

Even the corporate planners’ equating of acknowledging reality with bumming people out seems kind of old school. The keepers of the Dream Home do not seem to recognize that we are shuddering breathlessly on the brink of a new cultural moment. After years of falsely elevated and baseless hopes, it now feels downright woodland-creature-chirpy to face tomorrow with eyes wide open."::New York Times see also slideshow David Rakoff on Disney's New Dream Home

One can reach the quarter through Asparuhov bridge and the panoramic way along the bay.

The residents of the complex enjoy cosiness, quitness and tranquility without missing all conveniences of the town. There is a magnificient view to Varna and the bay revealing from the windows of the 61 apartments and 36 ateliers, and the exuberant vegetation around gives a unique sense of space and contact with the unspoiled countryside.

Contemporary and Modern Architectural Styles

How can someone with a love for cars and a medium budget to build a house, create the perfect combination for both? Can the house plan layout also allow for multi-generational living? Will it fit on smaller lots and is it available in different styles? Can this idea be expanded for larger homes with even more cars to enjoy? Can it be built even smaller? YES, on all counts!

THE POST MODERN HOME

The Decon style design incorporates a very contemporary architecture that accommodates a family of four (by the same principles as the traditional design pictured here). Rectangular forms intersect angles and curves for an exciting exterior and interior design. Parapet walls on the front and back can screen solar collectors set in rectangular grids. Low VOC and other 'green' components may be specified.

This is an open plan design with single Living and Dining rooms with a large Kitchen communicating directly into these spaces on the second level. Master and secondary bedroom is zoned apart from each other. Although located on the second floor this living arrangement offers more privacy from the street and better views. Vaulted ceilings in all second floors are more interesting and possible whereas impossible to achieve on a ground floor with rooms above.

HGTV Dream Home 2010

When I first saw the HG TV Dream Home 2010 in New Mexico, I’ll be honest. My first reaction was a shrug. “Eh.” It kind of left me cold. Not my style. But as I looked through all of the photos of the interiors at HG TV.com, I started warming up to it a little. Here are a few of the rooms–see what you think:-

I also like the way they incorporated the wood beams and ceilings into the house.
