Midnight Pass House by DSDG Inc. Architects

Built by Voigt Brothers Construction , the Midnight Pass House is located in Sarasota, a city on the southwestern coast of Florida, USA.

It is a two story contemporary designed by Mark E. Sultana, principal of Sarasota-based studio DSDG Inc. Architects, and built by Voigt Brothers Construction

DSDG Inc. Architects:

“The concept began with creating a modern residence for a family of five by taking advantage of outdoor and indoor living. The site for this residence is a one acre wooded waterfront property on Siesta Key with water and city views to the East and South. The residence is structured around a central round, double height living room with an open loft den penetrating the space on the second level. Two axes extend from the center of the radial living room to the entry creating the center of the grand steel and glass staircase, out to form the edge of the exterior hardscaping and to the rear creating the edge of the large double height volume outdoor living space and edge of pool deck. The residence captures the views of the water while bringing the outside in with large opening glass doors on the rear.
Creating the drama of arrival at the entry is accomplished through a motor court with bamboo and palm tree gardens. Once inside the residence, a center staircase creates vertical circulation from the ground level up to the 2,500 square foot roof top terrace. The roof top terrace creates a tree top view of Sarasota bay and Downtown Sarasota as well as a private getaway from the main residence featuring sail shades and hot tub.
Since the site is located in a tropical climate, outdoor living spaces are located off of all living and sleeping areas. The custom designed, wet edge, radial shaped pool on the rear mixes fire and water to create not only a day time oasis but also a night time light show. The residence accomplishes the goals in which were set forth by creating modern design in scale, form and function in a minimalist manor.”

G7 APARTMENT – by Fixonic

G7 APARTMENT – BRAEMAR HILL BY FIXONIC

G Seven located in Hilltop, Braemar Hill Hong Kong was originally a 2 bedroom layout but was recently renovated by Fixonic who placed the living room directly at the entrance, with a smaller bedroom and bathroom behind a structural wall.  The master bedroom is placed on opposite side with the kitchen cramped on the side, and the maids room and laundry room at the back of the apartment separated by a long corridor.

 The living room and study area were moved to the larger side of the apartment which has better open views through the windows and was also closer to the kitchen, the guest bathroom was created at the entrance area using cultured limestone as a feature wall and a mirror wall to extend the space of the dining area.
 A sliding frosted glass door separates the Bedroom to the other areas and the second bedroom is used as a changing room with ample cupboard and storage space for cloths and other personal items, with the master bathroom located next to the changing room.

 Straight grain Oliver Ash timber is used on the walls, flooring, dresser with a white marble tabletop, beds and continues  throughout the apartment.

 
Remote controlled LED lighting and Lutron lighting systems are also installed in the living areas and even the bed comes with LED surrounding the base creating a floating effect or ambient lighting for those more romantic moments. A pair of Artemide Tolomeo provides extra light if needed for reading at night.

 The bathrooms are finished in “Starck” contrast, with cool anthracite floors and dark slate feature wall tiles combined with white Italian Carrera marble and black glass

 The Kitchen is finished with a repetition of grey tiles and concrete tiled floors, which matches the overhead cupboards, and keeps with the timber tone of the rest of the apartment. The corridor is finished in raw brick tiles and painted grey giving some texture.  Timber sliding doors on both sides conceal the storage room and the cupboard opposite.
