We present one of the latest residential projects : a house of 518 m2 located in the town of Madrid Boadilla del Monte.

It is a building set on a separate plot of 2000m2 with a prime location because it is surrounded by countryside and at the same time, is just 14km from the center of the capital.

Design, quality and functionality are the three concepts that have marked the road map for implementation of this house entirely clad in travertine marble.

Clean lines, volumes resounding and unexpected angles define this building planned on three floors: basement, under and the first level.

The main entrance takes place on the ground floor where we find the hall, a toilet, master bedroom (which includes two closets and two bathrooms own) and more public rooms: living room, dining room and kitchen. Read the rest of this entry »

Stay put, Buffalo! Turns out it isn’t necessary to get a flight to the Greek island of Aegina to secure a glimpse of the Temple of Aphaea. Though the original 2,500-year-old version is undoubtedly very interesting, it is possible to experience a hint of Greek temple life by standing outside the doors of a former box factory in the Hydraulics: the F. N. Burt Co. at 540 Seneca Street.

The 1926-27 steel-reinforced concrete extension to the F. N. Burt plant, designed by Plumer & Mann Engineers and Architects, is a confidently modern, functional structure with an unusually striking entrance of the Doric classical order.
