The great Pakistani real estate racket
We begin this story with two requests of our readers – the first is that they remember, as they read through this description of dicey events and questionable business practices, all of the relatives and friends they undoubtedly have that have been scammed by property dealers, housing projects, and real estate developers. Because this much we can safely assume: that the average reader of Profit at the very least knows someone that has their money stuck in some unsellable plot, or has bought a ‘file’ or a registration certificate for a plot in some shiny new housing scheme that they have yet to receive and are likely not to.
Our second request is to applaud and marvel at the twin genius of the internet and citizen journalism. Because the idea for this story comes from a tweet, or more precisely, one twitter handle @2paisay, that has been relentlessly waging a battle against the Master Tiles Group and their latest project, La Ville De Paris, and has written a brilliant blog compiling all of the red flags from the project through meticulous research and analysis of the project’s marketing campaign.
Yes, this is the same Master Tiles that recently hosted the much talked about wedding in which their daughter married the scion of the family that owns Jalal Sons. The project is nearly as gaudy as the wedding and plans to build a replica of Paris over 4800 acres full with a 200 meter tall Eiffel Tower, a replica of the Arc de Triomphe, and a Champs-Elysees-style road. It is also the same Master group, that only a few years ago in 2015, was involved in Master City, in which the buying and selling of plots was halted after the courts got involved, and when the housing scheme did not comply, contempt notices were issued against its owners.
Since the publishing of the blog by Twitter user @2paisay, Profit has been digging into the regulatory and legal realities of Le Ville De Paris. On Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) warned the general public about the La Ville De Paris scheme, declaring it unlawful for investment. Before this, the Chairman of the Gujranwala Development Authority (GDA) confirmed to Profit that not only had the Le Ville De Paris not gotten the necessary approval from the GDA, but that the GDA had not even received a request from them, yet they have been collecting money from people in lieu of ‘certificates.’
All of this is illegal. All of this is a scam. Hook, line, and sinker. All of this is infuriatingly typical of what goes on in the murky world of Pakistani real estate. The story of what led to the SECP recognising and declaring what seemed to be a massive undertaking a scam tells the larger story of the real estate scam in Pakistan that so many regularly fall prey to. Profit investigates.

The bait – Paris
There is one and only one real cultural estimation of whether you have ‘made it’ in Pakistan – and that measure is whether veteran journalist Sohail Warraich has ever called you up and asked to film an ‘Aik Din Geo Kai Saath’ episode with you. A seemingly unassuming, gentlemanly, even oafish presence, Warraich is beneath the surface a master interviewer that can shrewdly get powerful men and women to spill their secrets, and bring out the private personalities of those that otherwise maintain very stoic media profiles out of necessity.
In an episode of the show that he filmed with Malik Riaz, the founder of the Bahria Town group, one moment of Warraich’s journalistic mastery was on display when he asked Malik Riaz a number of lighthearted questions to soften him up, before throwing a pointed question about the European inspiration behind his housing projects. “We go to foreign countries, we see what they have done, we steal the idea and we bring it here,” Riaz responds with shocking candour. “That is all there is. Like I just saw the Eiffel Tower recently, so we imported a replica from China and everyone loves it and comes to Bahria Town from far away to see it.”
This little tidbit reveals a much darker side of how real estate developers hook in people for their housing schemes. A ‘plot’ (pee-lat) in Pakistan is sacred. The desire to live in a clean, gated, ‘posh’ area is the upper-middle class dream for most Pakistanis, one that they spend their entire lives at times, trying to achieve.
Every year, the urban housing demand in Pakistan is 350,000 homes. Of this, 62 per cent is for lower-income groups, 25 per cent for lower middle- income groups, and 10 per cent for higher and upper middle-income groups. The formal supply per year is 150,000 units, a vast majority of which caters to the higher and middle-income groups. So when a swanky businessman like Malik Riaz or Sheikh Mehmood Iqbal of the Master Group says they are going to build a European city in Pakistan, and you can buy a file or a certificate to be a part of it when it is fully developed in a very short amount of time, you don’t think, you run and find the nearest property dealer.
That is exactly how La Ville De Paris began as well. With huge billboards, full page newspaper advertisements, and property dealers on commission. The marketing campaign for this project was massive, and along with a promise to build Paris in Gujranwala, there was the added bonus of a French team working on the project, led by Chairman, Jean Louis Raja Martinez, a supposedly famous French management guru that was to have control of everything from investors to the technical aspects of the project. While Martinez was unavailable for comment, the project’s marketing manager, Bilal Sandhu said that Martinez had come to Pakistan only out of love for the project and that now Pakistanis “will have a place like Paris where houses will be offered for sale at a reasonable price, with the kind of facilities that they would expect to find in Paris.”
That is a pretty little mission statement. The problem is, for all their pomp and show, La Villa De Paris is operating the same way you would expect any housing society in Pakistan to operate. The general perception is that since there is a large group like Master Tiles behind the project, it will be legitimate and free from fraud. The truth is a little different. You see, buying a residential plot in a new society is like building a house on sand.
The real estate developer, even before acquiring any land or deciding where the project will exactly be located, begins a marketing campaign with big promises of a Paris-esque housing society. It is usually named something like ‘Dream Gardens,’ ‘Paradise Villas,’ or some other Utopian sounding name. Along with the marketing campaign is an offer to buy ‘files’ or ‘certificates’ to pre-register for the opportunity to buy plots in these societies. All of this is done without any approval from district administration, housing authorities, and any sorts of checks from regulatory agencies like the SECP. Then, once they have collected enough capital from selling these certificates, they then buy the land and begin development. If this does not work out, the money often sinks and people are left stranded.
These tactics are common, however. They are the same ones that Bahria Town uses, and which are being used in ARY Lagoona. Even in societies like DHA, the infamous ‘file system’ is operational which has been explained in more detail in the in-set that accompanies this story. But what got the SECP to notice the La Ville De Paris project and advise the general public “to refrain from investing their hard-earned money in any unauthorized scheme,” was the lottery that they recently tried to hold.
The hook – Le Paris’ method
La Ville De Paris is offering certificates. Essentially, you buy a certificate for Rs 115,000 and then you have the right to conduct business and buy and purchase plots in the housing scheme. Without a certificate, you cannot do any of this. The problem is how mysterious everything surrounding these certificates has been. For starters, by their own admission, as revealed to Profit, Le Ville De Paris has only purchased 3000 acres out of the 4800 acres the society is to be built on.
This means that while the company may claim this is just a business tactic, the money from the certificates will be used to purchase the rest of the land. More importantly than this, they have gotten no approval from any government agency or the Gujranwala Development Authority (GDA), before launching this project since they will not get it before purchasing all of the land.
And if any issue crops up or the project cannot go ahead or fail, the certificates become useless and the money people have put into them is lost. The problem is made worse considering that the details surrounding the certificates are few and inconsistent. Speaking to Profit, the project’s marketing manager initially said that anyone can buy more than 100 certificates if they want.
According to Sandhu, the project’s marketing manager, these certificates are required for investing in La Ville De Paris or for any type of plot, whether commercial or residential. “These certificates must be in the possession of the customer making any purchase in the La Ville De Paris project. A customer who does not have a company certificate will not be able to make any purchases in this project in the future. Our main purpose in announcing the value of the certificate was to reach the original buyer. If we gave these certificates for free, we would probably be able to reach only ten or twenty percent of the original buyers and the rest would get our free certificates without having to make any investment later,” he claims.
But the SECP, in its warning to the general public, said that “any investment opportunity, whereby any future return/benefit, determined by chance or lottery or like manner, is assured or promised in return for a deposit or contribution is an unlawful activity and is a ground for winding up of such a company in terms of section 301 of the Companies Act, 2017.”
In addition to this, while the Master group promises that the project will be completed in 12 to 18 months and guarantees money back if it is not done in that time, the encouragement to sell the certificates ahead and the guarantee of profit make it questionable. With Pakistan’s land registry the way that it is, and the certificates in no way being a promise of land, it is entirely possible that the money is not returned.
The problem with this is that La Ville De Paris claims that they are not selling the certificates to gather capital to buy land and begin the project’s development. They say the only purpose the certificates serve is to attract serious customers that will buy the plots in the project. However, only one certificate is required to make purchases, so why would anyone want to buy hundreds unless they plan on selling them ahead. And why would La Ville De Paris agree to doing this unless they were trying to gather capital quickly so they could acquire the land.
By their own admission, they have not bought all of the projected land yet. Of the 4800 acres, only 3000 acres have been purchased and of these 800 acres have been earmarked for the Prime Minister’s Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme. With thousands of certificates being sold, it seems that this is a drive to raise investment.
When confronted with this, Sandhu changed his tone later on and said that only limited certificates are being sold, which can be up to 2 percent of the quantum of the whole project. Despite being asked a number of times, Sandhu and officials of the project refused to reveal how many certificates have been sold so far, how many the company aims to sell, and how many of the certificates have been sold to the same person.
The lottery
This goes pretty much how you would expect it. If you have been driving around Lahore or Gujranwala in recent days, you might even have noticed huge billboards announcing a lottery on the 31st of March this year for people that are in possession of certificates for the La Ville De Paris Project. The lottery has some big prizes, with the total lot of 105 prizes amounting to Rs 143.5 million, and the prizes are all cash. The first prize will be Rs 50 million, which will go to one lucky winner, while the second prize of Rs 10 million will be won by two lucky winners. Similarly, the third prize will be Rs 5 million which will be given to five lucky winners, and the fourth prize will be Rs 0.5 million will be won by 97 people.
Now, keep in mind that this Rs 143.5 million is of course only a fraction of the money that the developers have gathered. They have sourced this amount by selling certificates. Essentially, what La Ville De Paris did is offer certificates for sale to people that you need to acquire if you want to buy any commercial or residential plot in Le Paris.The confusion is that the certificate that is being sold and it is guaranteeing a profit.
The lottery just makes the deal more attractive. Why not put in Rs 115,000 for the chance to walk away with Rs 50 million? And if you don’t end up winning anything at all, you can then always either use the certificate to buy a plot in the project or sell the certificate to someone that does want to do this.
A history of deceit
This is perhaps the biggest red flag of them all, both about the La Ville De Paris Project and about real estate developers in Pakistan in general. This is not the first time that the Master Group has ventured into this business, and when that happened, it did not go very well. Despite the proven fraud of that episode, the group has very easily been able to come back into the industry, with the past having been forgotten, and with their promises and armies of property dealers been able to wrangle significant investment from people unaware of what exactly they are signing up for.
Back in 2015, the group had developed a housing scheme called Master City. According to one official of the Board of Revenue, the management of Master City had tried to commit fraud with overseas Pakistanis through the same old technique of selling files and then not handing over any plots to the buyers despite the time in which development was to have finished ending. The episode was quite the spectacle, with the victims of Master City protesting for several days. “The victims claimed that billions of rupees have been defrauded from the people by the owners of Master City. Meanwhile, a person named Javed had also obtained a stay order from the court on the sale and purchase of plots in Master City,” revealed the official on condition of anonymity.
“The court ordered the owners not to buy or sell until further court orders, and at that time, the managing director of Master City, Sheikh Ahmed bin Maqsood, had also admitted that buying and selling was not being done in compliance with the court orders. Despite this, Master City continued both the buying and selling of plots after which the court took notice again and this time not only issued a notice against them, but also charged them with contempt of court.”
Despite all of this, the Master Group were able to continue the buying and selling of plots in Master City with impunity, and have now been able to launch a new project while many unsuspecting investors in the Mater City project, who were also made the same promise of quick returns and development in 12 to 18 months, continue to not receive any dividend or any plot allotment from the project. You see, when the court issued the stay order, Master City could no longer accept money in lieu of files, and since they had not actually acquired all the land for the project beforehand but had sold more files than were plots, they cannot assign plots to people that bought those files under the promise of getting a plot within a couple of years. Now, as long as the project remains tied up in court (which could be decades), these investors cannot touch their money.
The association with Master City is something that the group has actively tried to avoid, of course, something that is evident in the project not containing the word ‘Master’ when even the wedding of the group’s owner’s son had ‘Master’ plastered everywhere. One official of the Gujranwala Development Authority (GDA) also confirmed to Profit that La Ville De Paris was being run under a different entity, and an advertisement was also issued recently in which the project denied any connection with Master City. However, despite the entity being different, the owners of the project remain the same people behind the Master Group and Master City.
“This is a technical difference only. Back in 2015, Sheikh Mahmood Iqbal had taken a lot of pride in it and had presented it as a result of the group’s hard work over years.Now that people have been defrauded in Master City, they do not want the baggage from that to affect their new scheme,” says the GDA official on condition of anonymity. “The only difference is that Sheikh Mahmood Iqbal is looking after the affairs of Le Paris, while his brother Sheikh Maqsood Iqbal was looking after the affairs of Master City.”
“The GDA has already started preparing for legal action, and we would encourage people to be wary of such fraudulent schemes. The government needs to take action to make sure that unless a scheme completes its area, its design and its infrastructure, it will not be approved – otherwise, innocents will continue to be fooled into investing with these crooks.”
This seems to be a solid idea, particularly because if a group can actually produce the amount of money that is needed to procure and begin development on 4800 acres of residential, urban land, then it can be expected that they are not in it to make a quick buck but are invested in making sure that the housing scheme is up to the mark and that genuine investors and buyers come to them, and get what they came there for instead of being enticed in with the offer for cheap plots only to lose all of their money.
The GDA’s Town Planning Director has also issued a public notice stating that the owners of Master Tiles had advertised the plots and files of La Ville De Paris City, which was totally illegal. The notice also states that La Ville De Paris is a completely fake and illegal housing scheme, which the GDA has no record of yet. In addition, the distribution of certificates and lucky draws by the scheme owners is completely illegal. The notice also warned investors not to invest in any illegal scheme and seek GDA details about its legal status before investing in any scheme,” he said.
“There was a definite problem of over-selling in Master City,” admits Sandhu. “But that project was completely under Sheikh Mahmood Iqbal, La Ville De Paris is the vision of Sheikh Maqbool Iqbal. People are just getting worried because of similar names. “Our project is very transparent and we want to keep it neat and clean.”
“Some people in the ceramics industry that are our rivals have also tried to say that we have a cash flow problem and are not to be trusted. However, we are only selling a few thousand certificates. Master Tiles has a net worth of $4 billion. Do you really think the group would want to risk its business and its reputation for a single project? Senior property dealers are overseeing this project even the president of Property Dealers Association DHA Lahore, Abubakar Bhatti is personally overseeing this project in Lahore. After all, this is the credibility of the project, that’s when so many senior dealers are marketing it.”
Despite these clarifications, officials of both the Board of Revenue and the GDA continue to slam the La Ville De Paris project, saying another fraud was going to happen, and that the clock was ticking to possibly contain some of the damage. “The biggest red flag is that the purchase of land for this project has not been completed yet and the project has been announced. Secondly, the purchase of land and its transfer is not an easy task, and there is not a single 4,800 acre area in Gujranwala where there are no court cases. When a housing society is announced, it must first be approved. For example, any Housing Society in Gujranwala has to get approval from the Gujranwala Development Authority (GDA) and La Ville De Paris does not have any approval,” says a revenue board official.
To these accusations, La Ville De Paris have claimed that they are in the process of approval, and are waiting to acquire all the land before applying for final approval. This still does not explain how they have launched without the approval, or are accepting money for the certificates. The chairman of the GDA, Ali Ashraf Mughal, responded to these claims by vehemently denying any approval being “in the process” and said that they had not even been approached by La Ville De Paris yet. “We have not received any documents from La Ville De Paris and we have removed all their advertisements from Gujranwala city. We have also written letters to the concerned authorities to remove their advertisements from Lahore as well.”
The great Pakistani real estate racket
Sunday, 08 October 2023
We begin this story with two requests of our readers – the first is that they remember, as they read through this description of dicey events and questionable business practices, all of the relatives and friends they undoubtedly have that have been scammed by property dealers, housing projects, and real estate developers. Because this much
Chakri’s real estate gang wars
Less than 60 kilometers away from the federal capital, a gang war between two rival real estate companies has left the once small area of Chakri devastated. For a long time now, Chakri has been considered a prime location for new housing societies to sink their teeth into. Currently, according to details available with Profit, there are at least 50 housing societies vying for space in the area around Chakri interchange, where they believe a new city extending out of Islamabad and Rawalpindi will attract investors.
The only problem is that the land in Chakri is a quagmire of legal cases, feuds, and disputed ownership that now has multiple parties involved. In Pakistan, real estate development is a game of gambling. No single investor or group has enough money to buy thousands of kanals of land, develop it, and then start to sell the plots to people. So instead of doing all this hard work, they focus on marketing heavily, selling pre-registration certificates, files for plots to be allotted in the future, and by getting property dealers to hype up their upcoming housing societies.
It is only after they have made enough money by selling files, certificates, and all kinds of marketing tools to gather the capital they need for these projects, that they actually start buying the land that they have promised a number of people in the form of files. The problem is, since the land has not been acquired completely as of yet, it either gets sold to someone else in the meantime or some legal issue arises over it, which means people that buy files in these societies end up having their money tied up for years on end. All of this they do without getting any prior permission from local authorities, so even if the land is successfully acquired, it may be a long time before they are given permission to build their society on it.
On our radar this week is Blue World City, a supposedly mammoth undertaking in Chakri’s real estate development game which is currently feuding with Abdullah City, another large real estate project in the area.
Most of these societies in Chakri have no standing with the Rawalpindi Development Authority, which is the governing body on such issues. Despite this, they continue to inflict violence on each other and fight over disputed land, all the while fooling unwitting investors into giving them their money. Initially, when it was launched in 2017, Blue World City was only one of these small fish in a big pond. By 2018, however, they started appearing as a big name. Having presumably collected a decent amount from initial sales of files, they went on a massive marketing campaign that used all of the tactics mentioned above and then some. They even roped in Engin Altan, the Turkish actor that plays the lead role in the Ertugrul Resurrection drama series that has become a phenomenon in Pakistan, to be their brand ambassador.

Since those early high flying days when Blue City became one of the hottest names in the Chakri real estate market, things have gone south. The society still does not have approval from the RDA and the land authority says it is not planning to give its approval any time soon. In fact, on recommendation of the RDA, Blue City is being investigated by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and has not bought a fraction of the land they claim to already be in possession of. This is how it all happened.
Blue World’s actions
In March 2021, Tahir Aziz called the Chauntra police station and complained that five armed guards had barged into the housing society of his brother on Chakri road named Abdullah City. The five guards overlooked the destruction of residential houses in the society. Who were these culprits? Tahir Aziz claimed that the guards said they had been sent by Nadeem Ijaz, Naeem Ijaz and Saad Nazir – the owners of Blue World City to demolish residential houses of Abdullah City. The intruders said they would kill anyone who tries to stop them.
Shortly after this, the Chauntra police station received another complaint from Sawab Gul, an employee of the Blue World City, in which he stated that he and two other security guards of the housing society, Ahmad Shah and Mohammad Naseer Abbasi, were sitting in their camp when unidentified armed men attacked them. Gul alleged that armed men from Dera Mushtaq Anwar which is under the control of Abdullah City owners Asim Aziz and Tahir Aziz stormed in and opened fire.
“ In the Chakri area, the armed guards of both societies have started a series of gang wars, which the police are also afraid of. Abdullah City, Blue World and Mavida City are located side by side on Chakri Road. The same claims made by Blue World regarding the land area are also made by the management of Abdullah City,” explains a police official on condition of anonymity.
This sort of attack and counterattack had become the norm in Chakri back in March. Here is what happened in a nutshell. Blue World City bought 1534 kanals of land near Chakri, and went to the Rawalpindi District Council (local government) for verification of their land in 2018. They are then supposed to take the verification to the RDA, after which they are supposed to get their planning permission, and then finally an NOC from the RDA, after which they can begin selling plots.
The only problem is that Blue World City did not really buy all this land outright. With the help of Nadeem Ijaz, a domineering figure in Chakri, they had made deals for a lot of this land with land owners in Chakri for ‘token money’ and then treated it as if the deal was done, and started collecting money from investors. However, when they finally went to finalise the deals, they found out that a lot of the land they had taken token money for was disputed or that other societies had also taken token money for it. This is where the dispute between Blue World and Abdullah City originated. “Since both the parties keep claiming that they have thousands of kanals of land but in reality it is the opposite. Lands in this area were not very expensive. Nadeem Ijaz, the owner of Blue World, is an influential figure in his area and even lower class people are afraid of him. So instead of buying plots from the people, Ijaz pays them a token and agrees that the people give him possession of their land,” explains the police official.
“The same is true of the people of Abdullah City. Of course, when developers buy people’s land, where do they pay the full amount? Now most of the people in the area have taken token money from Blue World and Abdullah City in exchange for their plots.”
One example was the ancestral land of PML-N MNA Rana Tanveer, who was going to sell to Blue World City. However, it was only later that Blue World found out there were FBR cases on the land that made it impossible to sell. The second reason is that Rana Tanveer, an MNA of PML-N in the area, also has thousands of kanals of ancestral land. On the one hand, Blue World intends to buy this land and on the other hand, Abdullah City is also trying to either buy a part of this land or this deal cannot be done between the two parties. However, due to some FBR cases on this land, it cannot be sold yet.
It is a classic case of having the cart before the horse. Any real estate developed should first acquire the land, get permission from the authorities, and then start marketing and selling the project. Instead Blue World, and indeed other societies like Abdullah City, began by marketing it first, then trying to (unsuccessfully) get permissions, and then trying to (unsuccessfully) acquire the land. In the process, gun battles have left one dead, Blue World City staged a protest on the motorway by blocking it, and had one of their directors, Chaudhry Naheem Ijaz, arrested in the process back in March. All of this, and they still neither have any land that they own there despite having sold thousands of files, and they also continue to get denied permission from the Rawalpindi Development Authority.
In the process, they have turned Chakri into gangland. Getting young boys in at salaries of Rs 25000 to Rs 30000, as told to Profit by the police, to move around with guns and strike terror into the hearts of their opponents. Gun ranges have been established, and even the police are afraid of the consequences of what has become a quickly escalating and heavily armed situation.
Two months ago, the police sent the owners of the both illegal housing societies to Adiala Jail on a court order. Chaudhry Naeem of Blue World City and Tahir Aziz of Abdullah City were summoned by the police for inquiry into the land dispute. During the inquiry, both parties started threatening each other with dire consequences in the presence of Rawalpindi police officers and district administration officers and there were quarrels between them. The situation has since been eerily calm, but with the RDA continuing to not give Blue World City the green light and Blue World City continuing to sell files despite this in clear violation of the law, it may only be a matter of time before things take a turn for the worse.
The RDA’s role
Normally, the bigger housing societies do go through all of these hoops and then start selling more plots than they own. For example, if a developer has 500 plots, he may book 5,000 plots and then dodge the people. While this is illegal, the entire premise of the project is not illegal. In Blue World’s case, they seem to have taken it to another level. On August 8th 2018, they got verification from the district council, which was only the first step. They sent this verification to the RDA and began selling plots and marketing their society as “approved”, before it had actually been. But then four days later, on August 12th 2018, the RDA declared Blue World City an illegal housing society. Blue World has since gotten planning permission twice, but has still not received an NOC and is categorised as illegal. Despite this, they are continuing to sell plots. “Who cares about that. It will become legal soon enough,” said one agent for Blue World when Profit called them pretending to be a customer.
The transparency of any housing society is measured by how much land it has. That is, how much land the developer has bought and no disputes or lawsuits over the land. (Editor’s note: This by the way is one of the main reasons for the success of DHAs. They, for some reason, are amongst the best at convincing people to sell their lands). The next important thing to look at is whether the society that is buying and selling the plots is approved by the relevant development authority in its area. If approved, it means there is less chance of fraud. Then there is the reputation of the housing society and the developer in the market. In the case of Blue World, none of these things are encouraging signs.
Now, the management of Blue World claims that this is an effort by their competitors to try and conspire against them.They also claimed that they are not being issued an NOC on purpose, because the RDA is out to get them for some reason. This would be a reasonable explanation perhaps, and crazier things have happened. But the facts of this case are sensational.
RDA takes a stand
The RDA took a big stand against Blue World. Jamshed Aftab, then RDA’s director of metropolitan planning and traffic engineer (MP&TE), also informed the press that Blue World City has been declared an illegal scheme and legal notices have been issued to its sponsors because the said housing society was not approved by RDA. Meanwhile, the RDA had warned the public in their own interest not to invest in the said housing scheme. However, an RDA official informed that despite being declared an illegal scheme, Blue World City continued its advertising campaign and sale of plots.
However, the RDA official believes that in fact, not only the housing society but also government agencies are to blame for such incidents. “If someone is doing something illegal, they should be caught immediately, instead of being cautious when they succeed in committing fraud. The problem with us is that the prices of clear lands are very high. If the housing society approves at all and if it starts selling after taking NOCs, then the price of the plots they are selling for Rs1.5 million go up to Rs5 million and it should be out of reach of the common man.”
“Deception is always beautiful, that is why the people also want to be deceived. Why do people go to these societies when the law says that no housing society can sell plots without NOC? We also object to the media people publishing advertisements of such societies and doing them on air.”
The RDA official believed that since Prime Minister Imran Khan announced the Naya Pakistan Housing Project, many illegal housing societies have been trying to give the impression under the guise of this vision that they too are associated with government projects. “The reality is quite the opposite. How can any society which has no legal status do a government project. Blue World City is booking residential and commercial plots of five marla to four kanal areas in its various blocks without NOC for Rs500,000 to Rs 2 million. In the meantime, they also take money from people in the form of plot installments and I don’t understand why they call this project a Pak-China friendly project. What does this project have to do with China or CPEC? Adding the name of an illegal housing society to such a big project like CPEC is tantamount to deceiving the entire public,” he said.
“According to our estimates, they have also sold thousands of such files against which they have no land area and if the inquiries against them are conducted in a transparent manner, it is a scandal worth more than Rs 2 billion. We were informed that the owners of Blue World City are going to buy the ancestral land of Rana Tanveer, a PML-N MNA in the same area which covers thousands of kanals but some FBR cases are going on on this land and these cases don’t seem to be resolved,” he added.
The RDA official further complained that many real estate based web portals also market such projects as our cyber laws are not fully functional. “Why do these property portals market such housing societies or register their properties which have no legal status? People are trusting these web portals and these portals also play the same role in deceiving the public as real estate developers,” he said.
Even in the case it was found out that the said society is neither registered with the concerned development authority nor does it have as much area as is being claimed. The second is that Blue World City is not selling plots but files.
Blue World tries to mount a defence
Blue World City Chairman, Chaudhry Saad Nazir. tried to dispel the impression through a TV channel that he had an area of 30 to 35 thousand kanals in the process of mutation while an area of 25,000 to 27,000 kanals has been transferred to his name. Nazir said he had documents for all the items that could be shown to any institution. Apart from this, they have sale deeds of many other land areas with a volume of 60,000 to 70,000 kanals.
“Chaudhry Nadeem Ijaz, the partner and owner of Blue World City, has a good reputation in the area and is well versed in land acquisition. Due to the good reputation of Ijaz, people hand over the possession of their land to him for token money,” he explained. This in itself is a huge problem, since he is admitting here that they do not own the land yet, a prerequisite to get the permissions they need for a project like this.
He also claimed that when the Blue World City project was launched, planning permission for the project was obtained by the RDA in 2017. Later, another planning permission for an area of 1543 kanals was obtained in 2019 and earlier an NOC was also issued to Blue World City by the District Council. As mentioned earlier, the two planning permissions did happen. The problem is that no NOC was ever given by the RDA, and it was only a recommendation given by the district council to give them the NOC, which the RDA did not comply with.
Nazir later held a press conference at the Lahore Press Club here in November last year and accused the RDA chairman and government figures of taking illegal action against the society. Nazir had alleged that RDA chairman Tariq Murtaza, who had a political post, was demanding large sums of money from him through his frontman and started harassing him through false cases and various means.
According to an official of RDA, Nazir held the press conference because the RDA had sought registration of an FIR against Blue World City at the Chontra police station, alleging that the society was involved in illegal marketing, advertising and sale of plots.
“Initially, the Chontra police station stayed the application and when the RDA approached the Additional Sessions Judge Rawalpindi under Rule 22-A, the Blue World City officials obtained a stay order from the High Court,” the official said. They also said that without an NOC, Blue World City continued all kinds of advertising campaigns and also used social media for the campaign.
NAB gets involved
Stung by the accusations of the owners of Blue World, the RDA and its chairman Tariq Murtaza decided to clap back. During this time, Blue World managed to bag Turkish actor Engin Altan as their brand ambassador. However, the RDA very quickly moved to declare Blue World illegal again, and the actor ended up cancelling on the deal because of the bad press that Blue World was getting. After this, the RDA Chairman also wrote a letter to the Chairman NAB, and an inquiry was initiated against Blue World.
A press release was also issued by the NAB to inform the public through the media according to which, the Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau, Justice Javed Iqbal, had taken notice of the complaints of the Blue World Private Housing Scheme for allegedly extorting billions of rupees from the public through massive fraud and DG NAB Rawalpindi had ordered to conduct an inquiry. The Chairman NAB had directed the DG NAB to take all legal steps for the timely return of the money looted from the public apart from investigating the illegal activities of the Blue World Private Housing Scheme.
At this point, the explanations of Chaudhry Nazir began to sound a little hysterical. He said that Ertugral star Engin Altan did not end up coming to Pakistan because India did not want it to happen. He also cried foul on different platforms, claiming that the RDA Chairman was out to get him and his family and project because of personal grievances. He has also repeatedly claimed that the NOC was only a matter of time and that his society would get it, the same answer that all dealers for the society have been told to give as well.
RDA spokesman Hafiz Irfan, while giving a clear answer to Profit about the legal status of Blue World City, said that this society is illegal. “For the last few years, we have been informing the people about their illegal status and have taken several actions against them. No matter what Blue World City says, they sold plot files to people without getting NOC which was an illegal act. Sometimes they say that the area of Blue World City does not fall within the limits of RDA, sometimes they ask us for NOC.”
“The reason for not getting NOC is non-implementation of layout plan, and there is nothing personal about it,” he adds. “Let us say if this area does not come under the jurisdiction of RDA, then whatever development authority comes under its jurisdiction, do they have their NOC? They are working totally illegally and the NAB is also investigating them.”
On the other hand Assistant Director (Monitoring) at the Anti-Corruption Establishment Rawalpindi, Zahid Zahoor, believes that the society’s management is befooling the people. The method of fraud is the same in almost all fake and illegal societies. “The first thing is that this housing society is not approved by the RDA and yet they are selling plot files to the people. The second thing is that only the files are sold to the people and then a long series of starvation begins. We had a lot of complaints against them and then we registered an FIR against the management as well,” he said.
According to the FIR which was registered against Nazir, Ijaz and different government officials, the management of BWC encroached state land measuring 1250 kanals. “Reliable sources have confirmed that a housing society namely Blue World City has encroached state land measuring 1250 kanals land in Mauza Sangral in Tehsil and District Rawalpindi. Sources also informed that the encroached state land has been made a part of society and the developer is selling this encroached state land along with the actual land he owns in the shape of plots. It is also important to mention that the housing society is not approved, and all marketing and sale of plots is illegal. District administration is protecting the encroachers rather than reclaiming it from the illegal possession of Blue World City,” the FIR states.
Now here is where it gets interesting. While the RDA is not giving Blue World an NOC, the district council did recommend that it be given. In the FIR, the very same officials of the district administration that played a role in that recommendation have been named. One of them is Patwari Halq Anjum Rabbani, who has been working in league with said housing society, facilitating the said society in fulfilling their nefarious plans of encroaching state land worth millions of rupees.
“The district administration supported the Blue World Housing Society by inaction despite public voices against this criminal act and senior level of administration supported the Patwari Anjum Rabbani, by assigning him the additional charge of adjoining Patwar circles which were lucrative in terms of potential areas for a housing sector. This land was free from all encroachments till July, 2018, after which Patwari Halqa entered fake and bogus mutations enabling the society to encroach state land in excess of its shares. No efforts were made by district administration to stop these encroachments which shows involvement of officials as well,” the FIR reveals.
Director MP&TE, Tahir Mayo, Deputy Director MP&TE, Samiullah Niazi, Assistant Director Planning RDA, Shehzad Mehmood Scheme Inspector, Patwari Anjum Rabbani, Saad Nazir and Chaudhry Nadeem Ijaz have been nominated in the FIR. Representatives of a firm named Sky Marketing, which also markets Blue World City and booked plots there, are unconcerned that the society is illegal.
Omar, a Sky Marketing representative, claimed that Blue World City had a land area of about 100,000 kanals. While this claim is completely bogus, coming from the marketing agency, it gives us an idea of how many bookings have been made so far. This would indicate that nearly a hundred times more than the amount of land they claim to have (1534 kanals), and even that is under dispute. “If it is illegal then what happened? The process of getting NOC from RDA is in process and NOC will be available soon. A large number of people are booking here and with the speed at which development work is going on there, construction of houses will start in the next few months,” he claimed.
When Omar was asked if anyone wanted to get possession of the plot by paying the full amount directly instead of buying the plot file, he replied that society has some plots available which are also numbered and can be taken directly.“The price of posessionable plots is a bit higher. There is going to be a draw soon for those who are booking, in which they will also know the number of their plots,” Omer added.
When Chaudhry Nadeem Ijaz, who is a self professed expert in land acquisition and owner of Blue World City, was contacted by Profit about whether Blue World City was really cheating people and whether there was as much land as was being claimed, Ijaz flatly refused to answer these questions.
Why do people keep falling for the same thing?
We have been through this before. In fact, very recently we went over the case of La Ville De Paris, a housing society in Gujranwala aggressively marketing themselves as the next big thing in Pakistan’s real estate market. They too used pictures of the Prime Minister and the tag of the Nayya Pakistan Housing Scheme. They too have yet to get the go ahead from the GDA and have still not bought as much land as they have already sold off. They too have tied up the money of a lot of hardworking people for who knows how long.
Somehow, real estate is the most dangerous investment opportunity in Pakistan tantamount to walking through a field of landmines. Yet people keep coming back for more. There are many explanations for this. One is that there either are no other opportunities for investment in Pakistan (blatantly false) or that there is very little awareness about them. The other is that there is something about the concept of owning land that speaks to the Pakistani middle and upper class. Something deeply ingrained from a culture that reveres land ownership.
Whatever the case, we are unfortunately stuck with it, and real estate developers exploit this to no end. In their marketing campaigns they always appeal to this most basic instinct – that one can have a peaceful life in a home that one owns. That is how Blue World played it in 2017. As one consultant for a real estate marketing firm in Islamabad, who did not want to be named, informed Profit the project was introduced in 2017 with a very small area. The management then generated a huge fund by selling its files and later they started spending that fund on land purchase, but mostly on more marketing.
“As real estate is considered a lucrative business around the world, including in Pakistan, there are also frequent complaints in it that many people complain about losing their capital. Pakistan has the highest investment in real estate compared to other sectors. This is the sector that is of the greatest interest to the public. Ask any poor, rich, or middle class person in Pakistan where to invest, then everyone from all walks of life will immediately answer that they should invest in real estate. A common observation is that no matter what the circumstances, no matter how dissatisfied the people are with the system, the buying and selling of property has been on the rise in every era and land prices have risen in every era,” explain this consultant.
Chakri’s real estate gang wars
Sunday, 08 October 2023
Less than 60 kilometers away from the federal capital, a gang war between two rival real estate companies has left the once small area of Chakri devastated. For a long time now, Chakri has been considered a prime location for new housing societies to sink their teeth into. Currently, according to details available with Profit,

Modern Indian House With A Beautiful Indoor Pond
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A slow, nature-kissed serenity flows through this modern Indian house design, which was created by the talent at an architectural firm. Developing Radical Aesthetics. From the outside, the modern home is trimmed with mature palms and established plant beds that frame the fresh white image of asymmetrical architecture. Inside the house, a bold staircase design dominates a wide entrance that leads into open and airy lounges. The simple yet elegant accommodations pause at bright courtyards that provide a blissful breeze. One sun-stained courtyard has a beautiful koi fish pond that provides vibrant color, life and quiet entertainment to family members of all ages.
As we approach our prominent home from the main street, White-painted boundary walls complete the clear white depiction of sharp asymmetrical architecture that cuts into the clear blue sky. Ripe palm trees soften the sloping silhouette of the house before the gradient of the roof guides the eye down into established plant beds.
The modern façade shines warmly at night, as outside lights illuminate the porch and indoor jewelry glitters from within a light-permeable second-floor wall.
Stone paving slabs covered the driveway and entrance of the contemporary Indian home, clearing the path for visitors. An architectural overhang provides ample shade over the front door.

The lively pond creates a dreamy view of the living room and the formal dining room.
The decoration inside the dining room is simple and minimalist, light and understated, so as not to detract from the neighboring koi pond. A contemporary wooden tone and a dull black buffet embrace a cool planked concrete wall. Two modern dining room lights drop satin silver accents over the modern dining set.
Above the buffet unit, a trio of botanical wall art prints complete the beauty of the adjoining courtyards. A soft gray carpet warms the tiled floor of a dining room.
The dining room is sandwiched between two courtyards that shed natural light on the white upholstered dining chairs. The shade of the light changes as the sun sets, which magically transforms the color scheme of the dining room.
The soothing koi fish pond distracts family members of all ages, from the very small and curious to the older and contemplative.
The koi pond also makes the most amazing and quiet addition to bedrooms. Here, an elegant bedroom chair pulls up to the patio doors to appreciate the special view. Floral blankets connect with the relationship to nature, along with natural wooden deck design and a vase of greenery. A small night light emits a warm and calm glow.
The dry courtyard design provides other rooms and walkways with a burst of natural greenery, a breath of fresh ventilation and a splash of natural daylight. Glass walls on each floor of the home ensure that the courtyard view is spread high and wide.
A small garden area was planted upstairs so that every room in the home would benefit from a tangible connection with the outdoors. A loose swing offers an inviting place to look at the view and move the hours away. An outdoor chair and table are set at a tactile distance from the plants for a more enveloping garden moment.
An eclectic mix of furniture stylizes the living room spaces.
Eight-gloss wooden chairs are paired with an air-permeable wall. A blue planter draws color inspiration from the cloudless sky.

Modern Indian House With A Beautiful Indoor Pond

The FBR real estate valuation kerfuffle
The real estate industry is on fire. Earlier this month, the Federal Revenue Board (FBR) announced that they are reviewing the appraisal prices of real estate, including commercial, residential, apartments, flats and other areas of 40 selected major cities of the country.
Since the announcement, there has been outrage coming from realtors, realtors and investors. The results of the revised valuations were not immediately apparent, but in the following days, it became clear that the market would inevitably slow down. There are already reports of major deals failing with buyers withdrawing at the last second, and sellers are suddenly finding an obvious shortage of buyers for their residential and commercial plots.
Basically, the FBR increased its valuation of property prices for two reasons. The first is the very obvious one, which is that they will use this increased valuation to generate more real estate tax revenue. The second reason is that the real estate business in Pakistan has long been a well of black money, hyper-inflated values, tax fraud, and all other manners of shady practices.
While the market value of the real estate in Pakistan is high, its official value in documentation is usually cited as low enough in an attempt to keep taxes payable low. The new tariffs have tried to fix this very old problem – the official value of land is much lower than the real market value of the same land.
This problem has been around for some time. Its roots are in a complex system of DC tariffs and FBR tariffs that anyone who has had to go through the discontent of buying and selling city property will know. It is a system based on lies, deception, and attempts to avoid taxation. Through its property valuation, the FBR is essentially trying to put together the official index of property and the market value together.
The article continues after this advertisement
In its current test, the board may have outperformed slightly, as there are many cases in which their rating was actually higher than the market rating. However, the FBR has already said that it will negotiate with stakeholders in the industry, which means that the extra valuation is simply there as a hesitation for when the government inevitably negotiates with the real estate industry to lower the valuation.
Real estate in Pakistan
Please skip this short section. Mostly because it is not exactly related to the current problem, but is instead a brief comment on the nature of the real estate industry in Pakistan. In July 2020, Farooq Tirmizi made a story for Profit titled ‘Why (and how many) Pakistanis are investing too much in real estate.’ The story showed that although the obsession with real estate has understandable foundations and originates in an essentially good idea: the need to buy assets that generate inflationary returns has gone too far and is now beginning to create a drag on economics. growth, investment opportunities, and housing affordability.
Real estate in Pakistan is a strange obsession. It has been co-opted by some of the most shady characters this country has seen and because there are so few regulations, things very easily manage to get out of hand. Pakistani real estate agents and realtors do not really have licenses or exams that qualify them to do the job they are doing. It is easy to find hidden passages in documents and development is confusing and incessant. These are many of the traits that have made this sector the degenerate disorder it is today. It is also why it is accused of being used to park black money, and why organizations like the IMF and FATF are unhappy with Pakistan, which we will discuss further in the story.
In addition, the commentary also raises more questions about the fate of real estate in Pakistan. You don’t need to pass an exam to be a real estate agent, you just need a phone to make calls, make connections and be a good salesperson. This act itself pushed real estate to be traded like a commodity rather than a real estate asset. The revaluation, whether overestimated or undervalued, not only makes it difficult to park money but can eventually lead to the inconvenience of real estate. Maybe then homes may one day become accessible.

Mid-Century Modern Interiors: Asian Influence
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Asian influence adds a different flavor to these three chic mid-century modern home interiors, communicating world sophistication. Along with Asian style, comes an attractive balance between minimalism and cozy comfort that forms practical, quiet living spaces. Shades of cream, beige and warm whites inspire a sense of serenity that relaxes the mind and calms the feelings, while punk black elements anchor a modern atmosphere. There’s also a green accent theme that punctuates each of these welcoming accommodations, appearing in the form of a statement cabinet in home number one, a plush emerald green sofa in tour number two, and the simple freshness of plant life in home three.
A large rug holds the different elements of the living room layout together, joining two different pairs of chairs and a modern box together as one cohesive set.
A solid marble coffee table and overlapping equivalent were located in the center of the lounge layout. A series of decorative objects including candlesticks, coffee table books, a table clock and a censer to complete and build on the relaxed mood of the space.
A modern magazine rack holds reading material near the sofa.
Excessive pendant light descends low above the nesting coffee tables, adding a dramatic effect to the lounge layout.
Black leather chairs were joined with a small side table and a neat floor reading lamp to form a comfortable reading corner. A bank of short storage units is placed along an entire wall of the hall to maintain peace and order in the space.
In the kitchen dining room, a round dining table takes advantage of the bright natural light that flows in through a large window.
The kitchen is an elegant combination of rich wooden cabinets that complement the modern mid-century atmosphere. White marbles end through the back plaza and the dining peninsula elevates the feeling of luxury. Running decorative vases interestingly adorns the counter and open kitchen shelves.
A black kitchen faucet gives a final black accent on the luxurious kitchen island.
A statement green cabinet provides a high-end color behind the dining table and a low-hanging dining room-hanging light.
A black table lamp adds mood light over the storage cupboards.
Another mixed selection of mid-century modern chairs and stools gathers around a study table in the home library.
The drawing of the hanging light from the dining room is repeated here as a pair, to illuminate the entire length of the rectangular table.
The concept behind our second home design was simplification and unification, which led to a minimalist interior design balanced with a comfortable atmosphere. A series of uniform arches elegantly frame the living room windows. A color palette of warm beige and organic wood tones complements the green views and a coordinating emerald green sofa.
The creamy living room rug is slightly stained with black accents that tie in with darker elements in the room.
A black chair sets up a place to lie next to the bookshelves.
The variety of materials and shapes is minimized to maintain the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere in the dining room. Stone-gray upholstered dining chairs come together at a rich wooden dining table design, where a black vase provides a simple centerpiece.
Cabinet doors carry a complementary textile finish.
The crazy glaze plate delivers a wonderful Wabi sabi aesthetic.
The kitchen design was influenced by Asian simplicity and practicality. This emphasis on functionality has led to a perfect wall of concealed kitchen cabinets that put away an integrated oven, refrigerator and dishwasher.
A long kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar.
An exceptionally long linear light illuminates the entire width of the kitchen.
The core of the cabinet layout opens up to reveal an additional prep area with an open kitchen shelf.
In the bedroom, clean lines and subtle furniture shapes are gently mixed. Doors are absent within graceful arched doors to create an aesthetically refined space.
The wood and warm white palette flow cohesively from living space to sleeping space to create visual harmony.
Window cavities are covered with deep wood panels to build a high-quality finish.
In the bathroom, a small pendant light adds a warming touch over marble and a wooden vanity unit.
A wooden same wood-tone finish characterizes the bathroom and a convenient stool.
The bathtub carries a fashionable lath aesthetic to keep the home current.
Our final home tour begins in a large hall that is full of natural light.
A round rug is based on a minimalist living room layout that consists of a curved sofa design, Pierre Jeanneret’s Kangaroo Chair, and a wooden bench chair.
A circular coffee table neatly repeats the contour of the round carpet.
In the mid-century-style dining room, modern lighting descends from a classic ceiling rose.
A small side table shows an unusual gorilla sculpture that pushes personality into the elegant space.
In the kitchen, a free-form decorative wall mirror reflects a pool of light from the large windows. Terrace island and indoor plant introduce areas of fresh color.

Untapped Real Estate Potential in Murree’s Outskirts
When you think of the real estate industry in Pakistan, you think most of the cities like Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Multan and Faisalabad. Or maybe even developing cities like Gujranwala or Gawadar. There are big projects being undertaken in these cities – all massive, all unassuming, all ridiculously priced, and almost all full of fraud, intrigue and corruption. But as much as Pakistan seems to love crudely made housing with little planning and a lot of disgusting project choices, there is perhaps one place where housing societies could be made just north.
Pakistan has a wonderful northern province, from which it is much more accessible and much faster to do so. Perhaps the most famous of these places is Murree, once in dispute with Simla for being the summer capital of the British Empire in India. A serene, beautiful, and slightly touristy town that has slowly been poisoned by high-altitude visiting, Murree still has vast tracts of land that can be developed and transformed into commercial and residential real estate. While most of the incentive received as part of the construction package was not focused north, a place like Murree would be an ideal place for investment. Most projects in Punjab need hooks – to recreate Paris, Egypt or some other seeming and stupid whim that some real estate developer thinks is a good idea. With a place like Murree, you don’t need a trick because you sell natural beauty. It’s a clean, simple kind of development that a place like Murree needs.
Tourism is growing and the prices of land, houses, shops, hotels and plazas in these regions are skyrocketing. International hotel chains, restaurant chains and cafes are also making good profits by setting up their companies here and it seems that the hotel and restaurant industry also wants to make further investments in these areas. Because the northern regions are mostly tourist destinations, everyone wants to invest here for residential and commercial purposes.
The situation is similar in Murree, a popular tourist spot in Pakistan. Moreover, it is a hill station and enters the borders of Punjab, but because it is full of tourists all year round and the highways and GT road leading to this city are very beautiful and dynamic due to the attention of the government, so, the most real estate began to grow here as well. Apparently, the management of such projects claims that the projects are extremely useful from the point of view of investment and the investor today will also get huge benefits in the future, but it is too early to say whether this will actually happen or not.

What’s going with Naya Nazimabad?
Buying a house does not matter to anyone. One thinks about price, location, suitability, working distance, family needs – the list goes on. But one important thing in all this is that the house – the physical building itself – has some value, some longevity. That it will not collapse or flood or a myriad of other worst cases.
Unfortunately, in the country’s largest city, these are legitimate questions to worry about. And nothing kills consumer confidence like a few weird accidents here or there. Such is the case of Naya Nazimabad, which was supposed to be a stellar new housing project, who got involved in the terrible monsoon rains that flooded the city in 2020. And it seems that this has affected sales and so on. In the most recent annual report released to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Javedan Corporation, the company that owns Naya Nazomabad, recorded its lowest solid income figure since 2013 – when the company first started operating – and its second lowest solid net income.
What happened? To understand, it helps to have context.

Another day, another fraudulent housing society
Our readers might feel at this point that every week, come hell or water, no matter what happens in the world of Pakistani business, economy and finance, there is always at least one story about a massive real estate project. fraud.
Trust us when we say we’re a little tired of it even now. Especially since it seems that all of these projects use the same classic techniques to defraud people. This week we bring you the case of the Grand Avenue Project on Lahore’s main Ferozpur road. Many things will be known – the over-selling of files, the payment of real estate agents, the taking of land and generally shady activities. All of these tricks of the trade we point out almost weekly until nausea.
But what can we do too? Every week there is a new project reflecting on the same old things with some kind of twist of its own – this is how real estate fraud is common in Pakistan. It preys on people with dreams of investing or making a house of their own one day. And that, perhaps, is the most sinister part of this constantly repeated vicious cycle.

Extraordinary Home Concept With Artistic Interior Design
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Fabulous originality and inventiveness went into the creation of this extraordinary house design. Displayed by UDesign, this house is not only a luxury home but an artwork. From the exterior entrance of the home with its drastically lined trees to the burst of color that awaits behind the door, this unique apartment is designed for someone who loves to entertain, impress and who enjoys the joys and discoveries of art. The tropical landscape also plays an important role within the magnificent interior, where it taps against edge-to-edge windows and translates into sculpted indoor plants. The greenery joins a powerful palette of glitters that paint vibrant and uplifting settings.
The massive luxury house outside cuts clear white line volumes through a green tropical landscape. In front of the house, ripe palms grow out in search of the sunlight, and a majestic mountain behind the house scratches the clear blue sky.
The palms walk in pairs in a high parade to the front entrance of the home. The modern house exterior commands the plot with a bold symmetrical shape that is cut by enormous expanses of clear glass that lighten its volume.
Massive multicolored artwork dominates the luxurious living room, where it inspires the color palette of an unusual selection of living room furniture. A delightful sofa design sets up a sculptural implication of a bright fuschia through a lounge area next to the fireplace. Ocher accent chairs flutter the yellow flames of a long modern fireplace.
The property is largely transparent, making it a challenge to deduce exactly where the tropical garden ends and when the extraordinary interior begins. The indoor-outdoor style ensures that all rooms enjoy the beautiful view, a key aspect of the property.
An engaging golden chandelier spins across the ceiling of the double-height living room, like fallen leaves picked up by the wind.
Huge glass doors retreat to the living room with the pool terrace. Two fresh white sofas furnish the outdoor living space, set on matching bold black and white chevron rugs. Royal blue scatter pads complete the eye-catching ensemble.
Another indoor lounge area is furnished with coordinating blue lounge chairs. Two curved sofas round out the seating plan.
In the luxurious dining room, a fuschia flowing gorilla looks out over the tropical setting. A spectacular piece of book-matched marble colors the wall with pure white modern dining.
Modern upholstered dining chairs host a dinner of eight. A focal artwork is embedded in the dining room wall and beautifully lit around its golden perimeter.
Behind the partition wall of the dining room a wine room develops. Huge wine storage cabinets keep the wine collection below temperature.
Two tufted sofas and a contemporary white sofa close around a TV wall.
Ceramic planters contain a multitude of mature indoor plants, Mother Nature’s own sculptural masterpieces.
Golden decorative elements weave a luxurious accent theme throughout the home that shines in the flow of sunlight.
Five gold stem turntable stools line up at a long marble kitchen island, with five coordinated hanging lights to illuminate each location.
A recessed track light surrounds the kitchen hanging lights over the island, and covers the kitchen preparation area behind the room to ensure a comprehensive task. A beautiful marble back splash extends to the ceiling.
In the large master suite, two unique bedroom hanging lights descend over a pair of pedestal bedside tables. A chic mural creates an artistic feature wall of botanical beauty in front of the bathroom, which can be accessed through open doors on either side.
The wall treatment is repeated on the other side of the room, around a bedroom lounge area. At the foot of the upholstered bed, an extreme couch overlooks the view over the terrace.
In the bedroom seat, four comfortable lounge chairs are dressed in rich burgundy accent cushions to match with the colors in the botanical wall treatment. A low circular coffee table creates a core for the round seating arrangement. See more round coffee tables here.
A sculptural bathtub forms the heroic piece of the luxurious bathroom design. Dark eye sockets wind from the sides of the modern slipper bath, mysteriously reflecting the light and the room. Black glass doors obscure two private toilets on either side of a double shower, where huge rain showers glow with a soothing color-changing LED light.
Areas of white marble cover the bathroom floor, walls and shower wet area. A piece of colorful wall art breaks the monochromatic palette. A modern ceiling towel eoesas the vertical line format of the bold artwork.
The round modern chandelier is loosely covered with a lightweight tube that complements the free-form nature of the bathtub. A small sofa sits opposite the tub, positioned against a deeply fluted wall treatment. Lilac accent cushions complement the colorful light that shines from the shower.
A more luxurious white marble forms a double sink for a bathroom with a common set of storage boxes underneath. A pair of run-shaped bathroom mirrors are installed in front of the window, tightly fixed between the counter and the marble clad window.

Luxury Open Concept Home With Pool & Party Room In Brazil
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Located in a residential area of São Paulo, Brazil, the project concept for this 1280 square meter luxury home began with the pool. Designed by Matheus Farah + Manoel Maia Architecture, this luxurious home design centers around a huge pool that is visible from most rooms in the house, where the easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle is given. The architecture of Ibsen House was created to facilitate shared moments and connected living through impressive large sliding walls, while also providing intimate privacy. The most private space of the home is located underground, where special neon light and acoustic treatments form the Red Room, the best festive hiding place.
Retractable walls break up the large free plan living space, fully connecting the luxurious living room with the spacious pool terrace and gardens.
A volume of wood is suspended above the kitchen dining room. Its solid wooden facade is replaced by two sets of double shutters to reveal a modern home office space. To preserve the interrupted wooden block appearance, the ceiling of the home office is also entirely wooden. Bookcases draw color across the back wall.
In the evening, the vast vertical garden walls are illuminated to surround the open side home with abundant greenery even after dark. The tropical leaves grow a dramatic texture and shape to feather the edges of the linear modern architecture.
The open layout is a coordinated plan of color, materials, and connected operation that holds a close relationship with the external environment.
The layout has almost no fixed walls. The vertical gardens and large sliding panels divide the living spaces, creating quiet hybrid areas that cause cross-encounters.
At one end of the luxurious living room, a TV lounge is furnished with a massive bookshelf that blasts color into the gray-white and wood-toned decorative scheme. Deep blue accent pieces cause further disruption of the neutral palette, with scattering cushions and standing chairs.
A large area rug defines the comfortable lounge area from the rest of the open plan by forming a comfortable island of light color and soft texture underfoot.
A formal dining room runs next to the long kitchen island on the other side of the room.
The underside of the wood-clad suspended home office volume is reflected by a solid wooden kitchen island. A concrete base builds a cool contrast.
A second lounge is located on the decorated terrace, right next to the pool.
A piece of modern art languishes in the sunlight.
The external arrangement of control blocks is interrupted by more vertical gardens, which harmoniously fuse the volumes with the tropical surroundings.
The architecture and cultivation guarantee intimate discretion.
Red upholstery for exterior furniture marks the change of zone from the cool blue accent interior.
A roof deck is added to the leisure areas of the house.
On the other side of the social volume, doors on longitudinal tracks open to connect with an outside dining room.
Moving upstairs, we see the interrupted home office from inside. When closed, the wooden cap shutters create a private cocoon.
A tailor-made built-in desk, storage compartments and wall shelves fill the entire length of the narrow workshop.
A small interior living room and kitchen join the roof terrace.
The rooftop social areas offer a privileged view to the local neighborhood. Guest rooms and other private facilities overlook the pool through large windows.
An outdoor dining set, outdoor sofas and a large hot tub stand during a parade of wooden decks, while a set of sun loungers lies on a grassy edge.
Going down, not only does the house hold a gym and a large garage, but there is access to the hidden Red Room. Atmospheric red lighting and special acoustic treatments make it an ideal place for the homeowner’s private parties.
Red neon lights expose the ceiling and walls of the party room, creating a bright nightclub look. A lighted bar brightly strikes the length of the space, making backlit silhouettes of the modern bar stools. A large TV screen is arranged for sports and events.
The wooden lath shutters, which restore privacy, cross the wide-open side volumes, and cause an attractive light play on the interiors.
Vertical gardens and tall tropical trees provide glass-walled rooms with full sun privacy.
External steps connect the terraces.
The ground floor plan makes an L-shaped arrangement around the edge of the rectangular pool, placing the master series perpendicular to the main hall.
Two elegant lounge chairs and a small table are a perfect place for morning coffee on the bedroom deck.
The suspended deck is created by the supporting structure of the bedroom’s wide wooden lath private shutters.
Elegant white marble fashions a luxurious bathroom interior, where black fixtures and arms and a black toilet pan give dark accents. A square roof window opens the ceiling to natural daylight.
Dressed in honey-toned wood, the contemporary home exterior warmly contrasts with the clear blue sky.

Unique & Colourful Interiors For Creative Home Owners
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
While the soothing serenity of neutral decor has its place and peaceful function, it is also a time for color, personality and the unexpected. Today we take a look at three amazingly unique and colorful home interiors that communicate strange creativity and delightful fun. Our first prominent home interior is a vibrant purple ibiza cushion with futuristic curves and fashionable terrace decorative elements. We are moving alongside Russia, where an interesting interior decoration scheme includes the rainbow in a small studio layout. Finally we climb to new heights of color embodiment in a home with a tailored red spiral staircase and green courtyard, and a host of modern furniture compatible.
Located in Ibiza, Spain, this unique and colorful home design measures 300 square meters. Inspired by the extraterrestrial landscapes of Lanzarote combined with the naturally bright colors of Ibiza, a bright futuristic interior was created. Lilac walls, a purple sofa and a matching ottoman give the space a vibrant basic color, while bright blue accents and a bold earthy plot enrich the scheme.
Wood was omitted from the project to conserve nature. Instead, shiny perspective and metals form the accents. A small side table threads an extra accent through the sectional sofa layout, where it reflects the purple upholstery.
Large windows and edge doors connect the interior with the beauty of the island. The concept for this home design was considered a future where man and nature coexist harmoniously. The result is a habitat that feels like it could be located on another planet.
Tailored furniture was designed to emphasize the futurism of the interior, much of it on a colorful terrace.
Money green upholstered dining chairs inspire color from the green patches on the terrace. A circular window cuts an opening from the terrace, where a perforated canopy filters the sunshine.
Two orb pendant lights complete the round window and the smooth contours of the terrace dining table.
Terrazzo pattern colors a row of rounded kitchen units at the back of the living room. A ribbed kitchen island holds a contrasting clean white finish and a striking purple roof.
Ribbed purple paneling provides a textured background for the arched kitchen cabinets. See more inspiration for using arches in interiors.
A color-coordinated purple sink and kitchen faucet merge with the bright workplace.
In the purple corridor, an arid courtyard darkens in the sunlight that pours through a round roof window above it.
Terazzo tiles fill the shower, behind a blue tinted shower screen.
Man-made cactus stands to catch discarded clothing or fresh cloth.
Purple panels cover a bathroom wall and disguise the door.
This 52.02 square meter studio is located in Korolev, Russia.
A rainbow of accent colors works to zoning different areas around the small home. A pink kitchen island floats all alone in the center of the space, while a purple gradient frames the kitchen towers.
The tufted sofa sets an earthy beige moment among the myriad colored accent pieces.
The bedroom area of the studio apartment is revealed behind a sliding bright orange screen. The interior of the bedroom is an unsaturated decorative pattern only gray and white. The purple kitchen cabinets continue down the hallway of the home, where they create a bright first impression at the front door. Textured area rugs match a comfortable color throughout the living room floor.

Mirror and hammered steel panels reflect the colors of the room, and reflect natural light deep into the space.

Light Family Home Interior With Chic Open Plan Living Space
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Chic and sophisticated in its sheer modernity, this untouched home project puts family life through a serene filter. Designed by Darya Maiorova, this family home interior has soft upholstery and rugs that are boldly lightweight to lift open living space. Black accents are used to add depth and brightness to the neutral environment, across a declarative kitchen back splash and a black accent window reveals. The children’s bedrooms themselves are light, crisp and elegant, with tailored children’s desk projects and decorative shelf walls. The parent room is a place for a quiet recovery of the children, with its own quiet workplace. Bathroom inspiration comes with contemporary vanities and boldly contrasting black fixtures.
Reuleaux triangular nest coffee tables overlap in the center of the peaceful, lightweight modern living room, adding a moment of smooth wood tone.
Two open modular sofas form a connected free-flowing arrangement. Dark accent cushions dot its lightweight padding.
On the other side of the large area rug, a modern TV stand is flanked by windows on either side. Pale sheets contrast with black painted window coverings and color coordinated radiators.
Two freshly white lounge chairs form a third wall of seats, along with two dark contrasting side tables.
A small tree was introduced behind the lounge area to contain a touch of nature, a splash of invigorating greenery and an element of elegant height.
The kitchen and dining room are developed behind the open concept. Wooden effect panels enclose a beautifully curved feature wall at the end of the kitchen runway that eoesas a curved microcement wall at the opposite side of the walkway.
The small side table at this end of the living room has a round silhouette to complete the curved walls.
A black back shoe and roof cut through the wooden effect kitchen, interrupting the soft, warm aesthetic with a dramatic sweep of deep shade.
A round pedestal dining table uses the black accent theme, and launches a fashionable ribbed texture. Four modern white dining chairs surround the black dining table with moments of light soothing. Decorative bowls arrange an elegant table centerpiece.
The kitchen “rear spout” is actually a set of shallow smoky glass front cabinets that reveal softly lit glimpses of cutlery, coffee cups, and kitchen appliances. The surrounding wooden cabinets extend to the ceiling line to capitalize on vertical space and build a clean, streamlined finish.
Modern linear wall lights give a warm glow on both sides of the bedside table, where integrated switches and sockets are inserted directly into the cushioned upholstery.
Contemporary bedspreads contain curves in the scheme.
A large indoor plant is included here as well in the bedroom, fostering a sense of serenity in this adult shelter away from the household children.
The black window reveals that treatment is repeated here, giving the light bedroom more depth and interest. Clean veils in the wind frame the large windows.
A third line wall light illuminates a bedroom workspace.
The tailored desk project is expertly shaped to follow the inner curve of the wall.
A restless modern desk chair accompanies the unique floating desk.
Next to the bed, a door leads to a proportionate closet. Thin LED strips highlight the edges of a smart closet system that is stacked with shelves, clothes and built-in chests of drawers.
In the minimalist master bathroom, a unique bathroom sink crosses a custom cut floor-to-ceiling mirror. A black bathroom faucet protrudes from the glass.
A small rustic stool adds a natural touch to the shower.
A fieldless shower screen leaves the bathroom window completely unobstructed.
The common nursery gets a child-friendly twist with a cool space-themed wall. A single channel tufted headboard connects twin beds together under a black track light.
A light bedroom rug ties the beds together at the foot.
Interlocking, frameless interior doors extend all the way to the ceiling line throughout the home.
Decorative wall shelves paint a modern pattern across the window wall.
Twin closets line the side of a child’s study, where more storage is revealed behind sliding wooden doors.
Black paint around the bedroom window points to a small, comfortable window seat above the radiator.
The second children’s space in this home is a single bedroom with a soft colored touch. A cushioned wall panel extends the children’s upholstered bed across the length of the room, creating a comfortable backing.
Two square ottomans provide occasional seats for friends or siblings.
A small wall lamp shines a focused reading light over the cushions.
The children’s desk design in this room serves as a double duty as a bedside unit. An icy blue finish accentuates its attractive round drawer.
The pale blue accent is repeated in a floating storage unit on the adjacent wall, and through a series of decorative pin shelves.
Children’s wall art extends the blue palette.
The family bathroom is oriented to fraternal harmony with a double sink. Wicker washbasin baskets are hidden underneath.
Wooden panels hide the toilet cistern.
Microcement neatly encloses the adapted bathtub, fusing it with the coordinating walls.
Black bathroom weapons stand out darkly against the pale wall therapy.
Wooden panels frame the end of the corridor.

Peacefully Pale Tonal Decor With Warming Wood Accents
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Pale tone decoration creates a wonderfully airy and balanced home interior that evokes a sense of peace and harmony. These two soothing toned interiors use wooden accents to add warmth and texture to the pale palette, and small black bursts to anchor the lightweight scheme. This is a color palette that translates seamlessly into every room and region of the home, from relaxed living rooms and clean kitchen projects to quiet bedrooms, elegant home workrooms and modern bathrooms. To prevent the mild monotony, these inspiring home projects show how to include unexpected elements of contemporary design and individualistic layout to break the repetition with a striking character.
In Kyiv, this modern home interior has a bright tonal palette of gray and fresh white paint. On the modern sofa, a single tan accent pillow connects with areas of warm wood tone around the room.
Walls are empty of artwork in the minimalist living space, but a pair of chic plant stands add decoration and texture. A pale gray regional carpet softens the wood flooring.
Oak efficient units provide coordinated storage solutions throughout the home. A sliding door opens the side of the living room to join it with the neighboring kitchen and dining room.
A pair of lounge chairs, an elegant modern floor lamp and a small side table make up a comfortable reading corner by the window. An elevated floor creates a clear separation from the adjoining dining room.
Surface mounted spotlights and track lights distribute even light throughout the home.
A small key shelf uses a narrow wall space in the entrance, where a cane diffuser emits a welcoming scent.
A simple gray entrance bench and a wide full-length wall mirror form a dressing point next to a set of two-tone white and wooden cupboards.
Statement door handles give the entry units a unique modern look.
As we turn to the kitchen dining room of the home entrance, another wall of storage cupboards includes a built-in bookshelf as a break for decoration. A black back material gives the niche extra depth and contrast within the white and wooden surroundings.
As we enter the hallway to the bedroom, a floating shelf is subtly accentuated by a color-blocked paint effect.
In the main room, wall lights conduct surface-mounted electrical wires into an industrial-effect display above the bedside table.
The channel tufted upholstered bed puts a luxurious gray accent in the predominantly white bedroom plan.
A home office cube was formed at one end of the bedroom, surrounded by storage columns.
Wooden cupboards surround the desk space.
A white office chair completes the pure white floating desk. Hanging plants grow a soft screen between the desk and the sleeping area.
A floor vase and dried pampas grass make a high decorative screen at the window, where white veils filter the sunlight.
Advancing into the bathroom, we find a highly accented decorative scheme with a black basin, matching round mirror, toilet and shower.
A pillar of black honeycomb climbs the cistern’s hidden wall, causing the black toilet to be camouflaged against its coordinating background.
Wooden effect cabinets build a bathroom tower by the vanity. A black framed shower screen draws a definite contour around the shower.
As we enter the open layout of our second prominent home interior, we come across a soothing plan of a white and wooden living room. An entire wall of white kitchen cabinets falls quietly into the background. A kitchen island floats freely in the layout where it defines the edge of the dining room. A modern sofa marks the living room.
Double-sided doors approach to separate the wide-open living space when desired.
The minimalist kitchen island offers a tiny variation of tone from the white kitchen run. A natural wooden food set resists the coolness of the kitchen materials.
Perimeter lights illuminate curly white closets that surround the walls of the corridor, creating a runway to a majestic recreation of the Venus de Milo.
Drawers build a plinth under the sculpture – a project repeated in the window area of the bedroom.
A pocket door neatly closes the bedroom.
A wooden bedside table stands out warmly against the pure white bedroom decor. The bed is positioned centrally, which creates a natural walkway around it that leads into the dressing area. A block of white closets divides the dressing room from the bathroom.
Bedside units are built into the headboard to keep the look streamlined. Slimline floor lamps save space on the narrow shelves.
The back of the bedboard doubles as a desk. A small top hides the workspace from the rest of the bedroom to keep a quiet atmosphere.
A second pocket door in the bedroom leads back into the hallway and further into the living room. A wide plank wood floor visually increases the spatial sense.

Compact And Functional Homes Under 45 Sqm With Floor Plans
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Small home interiors present both practical and stylistic challenges, but these two compact and functional interior projects have skillfully mastered their limited area. Each measuring a little less than 45 square meters, these two exceptionally small apartments have glass walls that expand the feeling of space and light to withstand strict dimensions. Chic modern decor features coherent color palettes that encourage a sense of peace and order. Each apartment design also manages to squeeze a dedicated laundry room inside a small bathroom, leaving no modern amenities accomplished. We’ve included the floor plans at the end of each tour to give you less space inspiration.
Measuring 42 square meters, this apartment interior was designed for a young couple of computer scientists. All living spaces are joined together in a small open layout where green decorative accents create a new coherence.
Fluted glass doors discard the bedroom, allowing for the sharing of natural light between the two spaces.
Along the window wall, the radiator was decoratively boxed with built-in bookcases along both sides. The wide window sill makes it an ideal home for indoor plants.
Slat panels end the sides of the kitchen units, creating a smart transition space around the home entrance. A combined lattice panel was applied behind a wall mounted shoe storage to round out the contemporary aesthetic.
Gray board provides valuable storage under the TV.
The L-shaped kitchen installation extends to the ceiling to take advantage of the vertical wall space of the room. Glass-turned kitchen cabinets maintain an open aesthetic around the ceiling line, making it impossible for the small room to feel closed.
The backsplash tiles have an interesting three-dimensional design that captures the light and creates a perception of added depth.
A wooden roof and top cut a light gap between the dark gray and green kitchen elements. White crockery contributes additional moments of light relief.
A gray entrance chair illuminates the black forecourt, where another glass doorway leads into a closet.
Clothes are organized in a neat closet system of tower shelves, rails and glass drawers.
A chic dressing room is set up on the other side of the closet, with a large round vanity mirror, a pair of modern gold wall applications and an elegant makeup table. A happy dark pink vanity stool completes the muted red wall color.
A small wall light pierces the black lath wall at the front door, creating a welcoming glow.
Immediately inside the bedroom, a modern home office desk controls the corner of the room. Pinboard organizes office supplies and papers.
Gray sheets contrast with an emerald green channel tufted bed sheet. Bright black, matt green and smooth wood tone stripes form an elegant statement wall behind the bed.
More indoor plants find a home on a tailored radiator cover and bookshelf combo.
Neat black wall lights provide focused reading light with the cushions.
A 3D scheme sculpts an amazing vanity wall in the bathroom. Vintage-style bathroom vanity lights hang a shade of chic around the frame of the wall mirror.
A black pelvis and matching faucet are lost against the midnight rear splash.
Wooden bathrooms hide a useful area with a stacked washing machine and dryer, as well as toilets.
Floor plan.
Measuring 43.5 square meters, our second small home is located on Svyato-Pokrovskaya street in Kyiv, Ukraine. A small, minimalist sofa gets more presence underneath 2-Arm Rotary Application designed by Serge Mouille. A suitable ottoman is decorated with a decorative tray arrangement.
The small sofa is actually a two-sided design that also serves as a dining banquet for the extendable dining table.
The two-armed wall light illuminates both the living room and the dining room.
A deeply cushioned papasana chair rests in the entrance to the covered balcony, creating a comfortable reading angle.
Around the corner, the rest of the covered balcony space is used as a modern home office.
The clean cream, gray, tan and wood tone decor code creates a restful atmosphere inside the narrow living space.
The elegant gray dining chairs are the Beetle chair designed by Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi for Gubi.
A golden vein is streaked through a luxurious marble kitchen back splash. A combination gold flap fills the white leather sink. Double-walled cabinets increase storage.
The greyish finish of the kitchen cabinets continues along the entire hallway of the home to create one elegant and uninterrupted volume.
Built-in entrance seats in an elegant run of hallway closets.
Arranged furniture maximizes storage space within the glass wall room and gives the compact space a neat, restful look.
Privacy curtains close across the glass.
The upholstered bed and vanity stool perfectly match the bedside setting and vain table to achieve a sleek and messy aesthetic.
In the bathroom, one style of large-format tiles clad the bathtub, floor and each wall to minimize visual disturbance.
Wooden furniture hides dryer and laundry.
Floor plan.

Mid-century modern encounters a crash of contemporary and classic decorating themes in these three home projects. Each exquisite interior takes a sip of many eras and styles to create interesting combinations that excite the eye. We first travel to a lake house that includes an eclectic combination of elements to form a chic and sophisticated home, and classic art pieces absorb culture.

Our final featured home has an ethereal white scheme in which modern gold and marble accents are mixed with antique style chairs and traditional sculpture for an attractive result.

Rectangular displays precede a number of decorative cabinets on each side of the kitchen, where cutlery and wine glasses can be aesthetically displayed.

Our next tour takes place in a 106-square-foot home, where ornate ceiling roses and intricate cover crown a room that is bordered by graceful arched windows. The classic architectural arches inspire an interior layout of curved furniture silhouettes, including a curved sofa, a round coffee table and a large round rug.
The curved living room furniture juxtaposes sturdy mid-century pieces in an open layout.
A high arch gate connects two rooms, creating a beautifully framed vignette on either side.
The dining room is furnished with the Armchair designed by Pierre Jeanneret in the 1950s for the famous modernist city of Chandigarh, India, designed by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret and their team.
The rustic furniture set makes a textual contrast with an elegant modern one wall kitchen.

Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
On a raised south-facing piece of land of more than 1000 square meters, this magnificent modern property is sculpted into the rock face in Camp de Mar, Mallorca, Spain. Designed by E5 Tenado, the villa itself has a built area of 394 square meters above two levels.

Pure geometric lines form the modern home project, creating a facade of elegant simplicity. At night the glass facade is enlivened by soft interior lighting. Exterior lights drastically illuminate the rough rock face.
The linear facade is covered with a wide sloping roof, which causes symmetrical shadows to fall on the floor in an illusory decorated effect. The floor-to-ceiling button windows effortlessly touch the interior and exterior living spaces, achieving an expanded spatial feel.
The recent interior design for Villa Statera, created by Terraza Balear, is a pure concept of linearity to complete the architecture of the home. The decoration is done in a natural palette that blends in with the surrounding surroundings of the coastal residence and includes high-quality brands such as B&B Italia, and a Poliform design kitchen.
An L-shaped sofa pulls itself away from the glass walls, forming a comfortable arrangement around a modern fireplace that is only decorative in the warmer months. Scattered cushions put a warm orange pop on two gray-blue lounge chairs and the pale contemporary sofa. Decorative vases bring a branch of greenery to a simple modern sofa table.
A blue accent color runs across the living room carpet, completing the blue horizon beyond the wide windows.
The open layout hall is located on the top floor of the house to fully capitalize on the spectacular views. The dining room is arranged along the window wall so that it can be opened to the terrace.

A Luxurious Terraced Villa With Pool In The Mediterranean
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Linear concrete volumes build this elegant and luxurious home project of 1,260 square meters, located in Son Vida, Palma, Spain. Created by Osvaldo Luppi Architects, the luxury villa has extensive terraces that include a large outdoor swimming pool to enjoy under the Mediterranean sun. Outdoor living areas benefit from long days and warm nights on the south-eastern multi-level terraces that are stepped up to follow the topography of the hillside. Glass walls retreat to the outside with interior volumes, where pure white and gray walls and a golden wooden tone merge into amazing spaces. Be sure to watch the step-by-step video of this spectacular Mediterranean villa at the end of the tour.
The modern facades clearly cut into the rolling mountainside of this sought-after residential area, which is locally called the “Beverly Hills of Mallorca”.
In this high position, Villa Marola has fabulous views of the capital Palma and the surrounding countryside.
The luxurious house exterior awakens at night, emitting large bright lights from its glass front.
In the luxurious property, clean white and pale gray walls color a fresh feel, while a golden wood tone adds a soft warmth.
The living room is an airy space with a simple yet elegant composition of modern living room furniture. An L-shaped sofa gently embraces the perimeter of a rounded rectangular coffee table, opposite a few rotating armchairs. A modern fireplace and wood shop cut darkly into the back wall, placing a contrasting stripe against the matte white paint.
The contemporary tufted sofa and chic lounge chairs pale insignificantly against the enchanting view of Palma. Retractable glass walls let in the blissful wind.
At night the surrounding hills magically shine with the lights of the capital. Inside, niched headlights distribute even brightness, while perimeter LEDs highlight the texture of a wooden lath TV feature wall.
Built-in units float a few inches above the floor tile to keep the perception of free area in the clean layout. A plant is placed on top to create greenery through the dining room, up to the fireplace in the living room.
Another plant of plants is cut directly into the floor of the corridor, which creates a meaningful connection with the green hillside location. Textured concrete undulates a cool background, while wood wall protection offers an opposite smooth finish and warmth.
The rectangular pool glows across the front of the interior lounge and dining room, while the outdoor lounge aligns with the kitchen.
A modern outdoor sofa is positioned to comfortably view the views.
A huge white marble and wooden grain kitchen island faces the wide pool terrace and the vast panorama. Unique kitchen hanging lights fall to various heights to create a sculptural installation of shiny copper.
The luxurious white marble and wood finishes continue across the back wall of the kitchen, where a deeply niche planter is embedded in the back spout to simulate a mini-landscape view in the windowless wall.
A sculptural staircase project connects all three levels of the villa, rising from the access area at the base of the building, through the main living standard and up to the private bedrooms.
Solid wood railings cut out an increase in asymmetrical geometry.
Wooden slatted feature walls bring texture to the staircase, which exaggerates under hidden LED ribbons.
Upstairs, a master suite and three bedrooms each have their own bathroom and balcony area. The door to the bathroom and closets are camouflaged inside a wall of smooth wooden panels in the master. Glass balustrade allows you to enjoy the majestic mountain side views of an outdoor chair, from the cushioned end of a bed bench, or when you have breakfast in bed.
A built-in bathtub fills the adjacent wall, perfectly positioned to look at the view.
Floor vases form a beautiful moment in an empty corridor.
The property also has an indoor pool below on the access level.
The long driveway that leads to the home enters the shadow of a car park before turning into the garage.
A skylight fills the deep cover with natural light.
Plant beds grow a welcoming entrance.
The limited palette of materials improves continuity between interior and exterior areas.
Public floor plan with social housing, including the main sun terrace, swimming pool, and the outdoor lounge. We can also see the long and dramatic driveway to the property here. A high outdoor staircase provides a pedestrian entrance.
On the access floor plan, we can see where the parking garage lies under the main living room, and where the indoor pool is located under the sun deck.
The private floor plan illustrates the layout of the master bedroom series with a large bathroom and a private terrace. We can also observe the equal distribution of space between the remaining three bedrooms, bathrooms and terraces.

Lahore’s vertical growth gambit
In August 1947, a single propeller plane landed on a thin runway at an airport at Lahore’s Walton Airport. On the plane was Muhammad Ali Jinnah, already known then as Quaid e Azam. This was not Jinnah’s first visit to Lahore, in fact, it wasn’t even his most monumental. It was in this city that the first stone of the Pakistani nation-state was laid by Jinnah and her Islamic League in the 1940 “Lahore resolution.” But the landing of that plane in 1947 meant for another reason – it was the first time Jinnah will step into Lahore after the partition of the subcontinent.
The moment had to be strong. Lahore was one of the many cities that could go to India or Pakistan. Some would argue that the city went to Pakistan because of its larger Muslim population and its status as a former Capital of the Mughal Empire. The reality was less thoughtful. Lahore became part of Pakistan simply because of the line created by Sir Cyril Radcliff across the Indian subcontinent. For better or for worse, after that line was drawn, all of Lahore – its people, its culture, its economic and social future – were all connected with the state of Pakistan.
The Lahore in which Mr. Jinnah landed was quite different from the one we have before us today. First, Walton Airport at the time was practically in the middle of nowhere and surrounded mostly by plains and grass fields. Today it is barely a kilometer away from the hustle and bustle of what is considered the “central point” of Lahore. Then it was the only airport in Lahore and was founded by a group of philanthropic pilots in 1930. Today it is destroyed and replaced by tall commercial and residential buildings.
Don’t you believe us? Just look at the Lahore Central Business Districts Development Authority (LCBDDA) ‘Lahore Prime’ project – a mega high development project with favorable statutes fully supported by the Punjab government. Basically, the Punjabi government wants to demolish the Walton Airport and hand it over to real estate developers to make both commercial and residential high-rise real estate in one of the most central locations in the city. On August 5, an auction will be held for plots in this area where private developers can offer to acquire their land and start building their tall buildings. And it’s not just this airport – the government is also looking at a Vahdat colony and a Railway colony. These projects and others similar to them tell us one thing and one thing: Lahore has met face-to-face with his vertical calculation, and the Punjabi government is everything.
There are, however, a few hiccups. First, why exactly is the government now intervening and deciding that they want to do big mega projects, and what are the areas they are choosing to undertake these projects? More important than that is the question of whether Lahoris will bite and make this a success. The final question is more theoretical – if this gambit of the Punjabi government succeeds, what does it mean for the rest of Pakistan? And more specifically, considering that they are striving at their best level to make Lahore a viable “central business district”, what does it mean for the current financial capital of Karachi in Pakistan?

Captivating Copper Accents On Dark Grey Decor
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Attractive copper accents cause bright and shiny interruptions through these two drastically dark gray home interiors. The effect is warming, captivating and luxurious, and elevates the overall mood. This rich palette has been expertly used to form high-end living rooms with depth and plot, and to form a spectacular copper-clad kitchen project. We will also continue these excursions through an abundance of beautiful gray bedroom projects and elegant modern bathrooms with a real factor. Be sure to take a look at the unique floor plan included at the end of the second featured home, where you’ll find a very unusual curved home layout of challenging wedge-shaped rooms.
In a 100 square meter private house in Norway, a smoky gray modular sofa and matching rug set up a lounge area within dark gray microcement walls. The dark end also covers the ceiling of the living room in its entirety, to create one complete gray cocoon.
A modern coffee table contrasts starkly with the lighter gray carpet. A black throw repeats the two-tone contrast on a nearby salsa. Floor-to-ceiling courtyard doors fill the dark decor with a glorious influx of natural light and abundant green forest views.
Text canvas prints a black silhouette in the middle of a bright LED edge.
White dining room hanging lights fall from the ceiling, punctuating the dark and shady surroundings. A thin LED trim edges the base of the walls instead of a cloth.
The assortment of hanging lamps from a dining room forms a sculptural arrangement above the chic round dining table made of solid wood. A simple glass flower vase provides the table headpiece.
Modern brown dining chairs make a tonal connection with a copper-clad kitchen design behind the open plan.
The copper kitchen chandeliers in the atmospheric perimeter lighting, and revive under sunlight from the large windows. Copper cabinet fronts cause a spectacular glow across the perimeter kitchen, while custom copper tiles build up the rear spout.
An interior plant installs a delicate view inside an open doorway right next to the kitchen, where the decorative palette changes to a lighter gray spectrum.
A trio of modern wall lamps add light to a small vanity corner. A Sierra chair puts a coppery brown accent next to the dark gray vanity table and matching gray horse closets.
The green bed beautifully attracts the natural accent that grows just outside the bedroom windows. Simple gray sheets hang an understated frame around the forest panorama.
In the bathroom, a global cutting mirror greatly increases the sense of space. Three bathroom vanity lamps have their presence doubled in the glass.
An open shower is examined behind a partition.
This 344.09 square meter apartment is located in the Skyline residential complex, in Kyiv, Ukraine. This time, copper accents are flattened to a more matte finish through partition walls and bearing columns. A large area rug rolls up a soft gray base for a luxurious salon series.
Chord floor lamps spot lighting around the large living space.
A terracotta sculpture merges with the copper wall panels.
The accommodation was designed as a Kyiv base for a traveling businessman from Switzerland. Rough rock walls welcome him home to his periodic residence.
A square dining table stands in the center of the large living space, creating a theatrical first impression for personal guests and business acquaintances. Four oversized dining room hanging lights extend to the drama.
A dual workspace is set up inside the home office, allowing the Swiss businessman to comfortably meet and work on collaborations during his stay in Kyiv.
Bookcases line one of the dark walls, creating an opportunity to bring in coloring with book covers.
A glass wall at the back of the home workshop overlooks a heat sink with temperature controlled.
A huge round mirror, an elegant upholstered bench and a set of stem hanging lights make up a modern vignette inside the dark gray dressing room.
In the master bedroom, a swing wall lamp sweeps over the head of a king-size upholstered bed.
A created bedroom chair adds a touch of copper brown to the window wall.
A round carpet puts the gray accent against a walnut floor.
One-way headlights aim at modern art and a deeply textured clay headscarf wall.
The second bedroom is a clear and contemporary scheme. Huge bedroom pendant lights add a smooth white accent to a slate main wall.
Warehouses emphasize a wall-mounted TV at the foot of the bed.
A simple cream puff pulls itself at one end of a deep wall-mounted shelf to create a vanity area.
The final bedroom uses a mix of materials and textures to create a rustic essence.
Rusty wooden stools offer a place to stand toilets.
A copper floor and a copper wet wall color the small shower. A modern pedestal sink falls in a cool concrete accent.
Curved floor plan.

A Beautifully Landscaped Brutalist House [Visualized]
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A wood and concrete brutalist exterior shelter this 2900-square-foot home project, based in Houston, USA. Created by the architects at Robertson Design, The house Concrete Box hides a two-story home with a multi-level living space. The ground floor is a brutal concrete back room with a clearly comfortable essence that comes from luxurious upholstered furniture, attractive wood-clad elements and a functional kitchen located right at the heart of the home. Private courtyards and a large garden surround the cool concrete interior with beautiful landscaped views. Upstairs, the house is revealed to be a family home, with two children’s rooms and a serene master suite.
The concept of The Concrete Box was born from three main purposes. The first goal was to begin the experience with a choreographic entry sequence, the second, to maintain material clarity, and the third was to establish a bold sculptural presence.
The brutalist exterior of the house consists of three main volumes, which are a concrete box for the ground floor living space, a wooden box for the private bedroom and bathrooms upstairs, and a low concrete wall that surrounds a courtyard around the front entrance.
Only two windows pierce the front of the fort building, so that the solid sculptural element is interrupted as little as possible. Entrance to the home is made between the two overlapping concrete walls in the front. A courtyard sanctuary awaits between the solid walls that lead you to the front door.
A side entrance is disguised as a wooden lath window that looks into the courtyard.
The wooden gate aligns with a wooden lath window on the upper floor to create a cohesive aesthetic.
One push turns the long, wooden barred gate on its axis, giving access to the entrance courtyard.
The brutal courtyard walls are lined with elegant planting. Mounded ground cover gently molds the edge of the gravel walkway,
The side entrance gate facilitates access from the car park. Alternatively, a rear front door secures the carport to a mud room at the rear of the property.
A slideshow creates a welcoming snapshot of the interior.
Passing through a darkened entrance hall with a low ceiling, a thick walled opening leads to the high and brightly lit main living space. The open layout is sandwiched between serene views of a closed courtyard in front and a large garden behind. A multi-level floor creates a clear zoning between a sunken living area, a midway kitchen and an elevated dining area. A long row of storage cabinets serve as media in front of the sitting area and become kitchen cabinets at the end end.
A tan leather sofa and contrasting cream chairs make up the comfortable lounge space. A square coffee table provides a bold black visual anchor in the center of the opening plan. Behind, a skylight bathes the central kitchen island in natural sunlight. The abundance of natural light in the living space and open views into the courtyard and garden comes as a pleasant contradiction to the solid facade.
A long kitchen window overlooks a narrow perimeter garden that is large enough just to give a beautiful view.
The floor on one side of the kitchen island is higher than the other, which means the breakfast bar can be provided with a comfortable, children’s dining bench instead of bar stools.
The dining bench also reduces visual disturbances that are minimal at all times. The stone roofs in the centralized kitchen darkly complement the extreme black window frames at each end of the room.
Large doors behind the open concept adjoin the interior with the tree-lined garden.
Initially a concrete terrace extends the interior floor treatment to the exterior living space, before an attractive wooden deck takes over. The elegant modern outdoor chair seen on the wooden deck is the Easy Chair Grill designed by Francois Azambourg for Ligne Roset.
The contrast of concrete and wooden deck reflects the materials used in the construction of the house itself.
A sculptural focus is set at the end of the large garden, protruding from the shade of the trees.
Back inside the home, the modern staircase design has a striking single cantilevered concrete staircase at its base.
The rest of the stairs are solid wooden steps and lifts. A door to the first children’s room can be seen ahead, with a set of double doors leading into the washroom on the right.
A white lath railing extends to the landing ceiling.
At the top of the stairs, interior picture windows accept light from a bedroom.
A wide window blesses the master bedroom with a serene green view.
The private master bathroom is a large and luxurious space with marble tiled walls and tailored furniture.
The self-contained bathtub and shower are located inside its own bright and airy humid room. An enclosed toilet is located on the opposite side of the double sink.
On the floor plan for the home, we can see that the two children’s rooms are adjacent to a bathroom Jack and Jill. The master series is blessed with a huge wardrobe, as well as a massive bathroom.

A unique hexagonal coffee table and an elegant white marble table fill the center of the chic lounge layout.

Industrial Accent Walls & Open Concept Bedrooms
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
While these two distinctive home interiors differ in scale and color palette, they find a common ground in elegant modern décor, industrial accent walls, and open concept bedroom projects. The first of our two featured home projects is a soothing pale gray interior with raw exposed masonry and a lath wall bedroom project straight from the living room. In a stark contrast, our second prominent home interior is enlivened with crevices and light yellow accent pieces that warm and elevate cool concrete industrial walls. A glass wall bedroom project opens on both sides to fully merge with the neighboring lounge and kitchen dining rooms.
Located in Kiev, Ukraine, this 83-square-meter apartment has a combined free living room, kitchen-dining room. The soft gray modern sofa merges quietly with color matching living room walls.
A slatted wall clearly divides the bedroom from the main living space without completely obstructing its view. The open concept increases the sense of space and light in the home, and achieves easy flow. A rough brick feature wall builds an old, industrial effect across one side of the room, drawing attention to the TV.
The dark and sculptural lamp duo at the end of the sofa is Muffins floor lamps by Dan Yeffet for Brokis.
A light gray round carpet almost disappears against the smooth gray microcement floor.
An arrangement of two side tables and a rustic coffee table laid full black accents across the gray sea.
A wide kitchen island runs through the free plan living room, with a dining table extension utilizing natural light at the window.
The dining table extension can be retracted over the sink on the kitchen island when not in use. This move brings a preparatory surface closer to the hob and frees up floor space when the kitchen dining area is not in use. Push down a faucet down under the lid.
A long floor lamp extends across the multifunctional insulin surface.
A smaller version of the floor lamp draws the same linear aesthetic across the living room area.
Open kitchen shelves show organized rows of cutlery, wine glasses and serving bowls.
In the master bedroom, a floor bed design incorporates a padded bed unit. On the other hand, a small side table is attached to the Sampei floor lamp designed by Davide Groppi and Enzo Calabrese.
The industrial atmosphere prevails within the bathroom. The raw, white-washed brick wall treatment we originally encountered in the living room now creates a characteristic wall behind the tub. Microcement floods the floor here as well, creating a smooth contrast with the old masonry.
An illuminated bathroom mirror emits a fresh white glow on the vertical tile behind the vanity. A black cement stain accentuates the precise tiling.
A thin floor lamp leans elegantly towards the bathtub, providing a focused green light for long dips.
Black fixtures complete the unique black marble bathtub.
The modern bathrooms and Sampei floor lamp create an elegant contrast with the rough masonry.
In the children’s room an upholstered cot provides a soft landing for pillow fights.
Modern wooden effective wall roofs build a comfortable envelope with hidden storage spaces.
A Baymax plush toy leans toward a built-in bookshelf, to which black shelves and a backrest contrast.
A children’s study area occupies the industrial style wall. A floating desk cuts clean across the masonry.
This 57-square-meter home in Moscow, Russia, is decorated with crude concrete walls and colorful accents.
A round coffee table smoothly fills the center of the small space, with no sharp corners to knock.
A short, central wall was installed to house the TV and floating TV stand. The small stature of the TV wall only partially hides the design of the glass wall bedroom, enabling abundant light.
The luxurious gray carpet echoes the tone and shade of the living room’s concrete feature wall.
Following the L-shaped living room layout around the corner of the glass wall project, we come to the kitchen dining room.
Directional kitchen lights go down on a walnut dining table that achieves a floating effect on a transparent support leg.
Deep creek paint darkens the home entrance, while a small puff gives a cheerful pop-yellow.

Classy Contemporary Interiors With Deep Brown, Grey & White Decor
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Deep brown, soothing gray and pure white embellishment overshadow these three elegant contemporary home interiors, pictured by Mai Trang Nguyen. The soothing neutrals merge with chic furniture arrangements to form quiet and polite living spaces. Each of these elegant home projects has inspiration for modestly scaled open concept homes and small kitchen ideas, beautiful lighting projects and eye-catching accessories. Home design number one is a luxurious, luxurious expression of taste; interior number two explores an adventurous space-themed decorating scheme; design three gives us a shaped interpretation with fashionable running contours and interior arches, while home four simplifies the palette for a small space.
A reddish-brown modular sofa adds immense warmth to a dark gray and cool white surroundings in our first prominent home interior. A black and white puppy throw washes a moment of light relief over the sofa padding.
Above the living room and adjoining dining room, a black-painted ceiling creates drama and an incredible factor.
The modern dining room lives under the glow of an artistic wall light; golden accents shine warmly under the light. A delicate marble table top makes a beautiful oval outline between modern dining chairs.
A fabulous TV wall was built with a striking rib panel behind the TV screen. The textured inverse arch reflects the warm reddish-brown hue of the sofa.
Wine storage is displayed under bright LED ribbons close to the kitchen run. The wine storage cabinet balances an entry-level storage unit on the opposite side of a jokingly gold-wrapped bench.
The sloping gold recess in the entrance completes an amazing curved kitchen island project with a champagne gold base.
The island is extended at one end to include a breakfast bar. Shiny gold-framed kitchen bar stools further elevate the look.
Unique kitchen island lights pile up over the prep table and dining room. See more kitchen lighting here.
The basic kitchen cabinets are framed by a champagne gold racetrack that perfectly matches the entrance cupboards. This coherence gives the impression of a much more spacious kitchen space.
A black marble countertop and overall create a bold split between the lightweight upper and lower units. A bright black fridge freezer continues the dark accent.
Our second interior design has a bit of an adventurous space theme, with mini-astronauts landing on the surface of a space-era inspired coffee table. A modern wall lamp sets a celestial aura against the pale gray living room wall.
A unique modern sofa forms a futuristic silhouette under white upholstery, while the modern salsa plant has a deep brown accent.
Phases of the lunar wall lights cross across the dining room.
Two different styles of modern dining chairs gather interest around a unique oval dining table.
Wooden flooring warms the living area, while a cool white tile neatly defines the kitchen and dining room.
Ribbed cabinet doors textually define the upper units in the all-white kitchen design.
A full moon waxes in the moody gray and black bedroom plan. The moonlight gnaws away at the corner of a ribbed plasterboard; LED light ribbons around the edges.
Black glazed glass allows shady clothing silhouettes to mysteriously show through the walls of the wardrobe.
The second bedroom in this home is a space theme for a children’s room where a mural depicts the moon in orbit close to the bed.
A floating children’s desk is mounted on an elongated headboard that creates a smooth flow through the room.
In our third featured home design, brown is promoted by a small accent to the main focal color of the room. Here, we see a solid rich brown TV wall that melts into the hallway that leads to the bedrooms.
An unusual brown and gray upholstered sofa design reflects the solid brown feature wall. A fully coordinated rug draws attention to the two-tone feature of the sofa. A racetrack with a coffee table and a racetrack bench seat leads to a curvy theme.
The L-shaped kitchen installation uses the brown accent color for a tiled back shower.
A piece of masonry links the brown accents and arched decorative themes.
Finally, our fourth outstanding home design is a small space that shines an amazing depth of the deep brown, gray and white palette. A small curved sofa and round stool are sharply contrasted by a hexagonal coffee table, though all fuse under soft gray finishes.
Global hanging lights drop a modern focus over the center of the room, while classic bust sculptures bring art history to a tailor-made built-in TV with integrated storage and bookshelves.
Dark brown and white kitchen design fills the back of the small open concept living room.
In the home entrance, a unique shelf and niche set up an elegant arched theme. See more inspiration for arches in interiors.
Waving 3D wall art and a free-form wall mirror on the opposite wall prevent the confined space from feeling static.

How To Create Daring Decor With Dark Textures
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Decorating with dark colors, you may find yourself in a mundane monochromatic and worthless routine. In this collection of boldly dark interior projects, we look at how to introduce deep and fascinating textures within sculptural art walls, crude rock features, walls with striped panel elements, expanses of tiling and industrial style nuanced concrete. We will notice how atmospheric light patterns accentuate the 3D elements, and how bright accent shades elevate single pieces of black and gray canvases to create a clear definition. Dark decor schemes like these are not appropriate, but being bold causes great rewards of unique living spaces, elegant dining rooms, comfortable bedrooms and a totally delightful factor.
Colorful accent furniture builds excitement within a bold, dark decorative scheme. This uber modern yellow sofa hits a bright accent through the center of our first living space. 3D wall art artistically sculpts the black feature wall behind the living room and dining rooms with abstract shapes that rise and fall into the shadows.
Not everything needs to stand out. This low round coffee table seems to stand out from the matching simple black surrounding rug. It is a shallow profile completes the elegant frame of the modern sofa.
The aligned flames of a modern fireplace dance even brighter in dark surroundings. A pair of padded puffs effectively extends the playful accent color of the curved sofa.
Smooth, thoughtless storage units create a useful and attractive setting around a TV.
Perimeter LEDs pour a smooth stream of light onto the camouflaged cabinet fronts, which solidify into a chic gray accent wall.
Two dining room pendant lights are paired to encompass the entire length of the dining table, bringing it bright from the black background.
The light table top is contrasted with black modern dining chairs along both sides.
The head and foot of the wide dining table remain largely unoccupied.
The chic gray furniture-making aesthetic returns in the home entrance, where tailored wardrobes store huge outerwear and large cleaning appliances.
A suitable gray entrance table floats across a frameless, custom-cut mirror that bounces natural light into the shady niche.
The yellow accent is also exciting in this darkly decorated space, like a useful puff sitting at the front entrance door.
Our second dark interior example is an elegant space created for a young couple with a penchant for modern design. A rich, tonal combination of neutral shades and contrasting materials has a unique effect. A stunning black rock face climbs behind the dining room, undulating deep texture and drama, while furniture behind the living room is flat and flawless.
A glass vase puts a warm amber accent on the black glass coffee table. A luxurious gray carpet firmly defines the lounge area of the nearby adjoining dining room.
A white feature wall undulates inside a midnight black frame. A cobalt blue ceramic vase adds an unexpected bolt of bright color.
Slatted panels add a fashionable texture to the black bedroom project. A modern chandelier and floor lamp combine to create the shape of a majestic, lighted tree.
Black hanging lights illuminate small bedside tables that are enclosed within a wide winged bedside table.
A bathroom stand stands open on either side of a narrow partition, giving direct access to two unique pedestal sinks.
An impressive rock face feature wall dominates the room from behind the bathtub.
A golden wood tone contrasts warmly against the cool black rock.
On our third home tour, a textured black tile effect wall stands behind the TV. A pair of modern wall applications drill into the darkness.
Charcoal upholstery shades the sectional sofa, while beige carpet plays a brighter note.
Terazola flooring brings a light pattern to the entire open living space as one seamless extension.
A red accent chair surrounds the living room layout with an unexpectedly warm moment.
Red indoor plants embrace the accent theme.
A large rectangular dining table and ten chairs share the living room from one wall kitchen with an island.
Another pair of modern wall lamps illuminate a white tile wall in the kitchen that counterbalances the black TV wall opposite.
An induction hob and integrated extractor unit create an elegant finish throughout the kitchen island.
Huge edge-to-edge windows fill the large living space with daylight.
A dark tinted microcement darkly adorns a small comfortable / film room. Unique modern wall lamps adore white accents against the textured sofa wall.
A stone coffee table matches the shade of a gray area.
Sliding cap doors protect the comforter without closing it, which ensures that the dark color scheme does not feel pressure.

In the master bedroom, a sage green padded bed makes a nice contrast with a dark capture feature wall. Contemporary wall lamps create a bright balance over each bedside.
A domestic plant introduces a delicate freshness into the industrial gray concrete decoration scheme.
Slate closet doors interrupt the smooth cement.
The second shady bedroom plan is defined by a unique mural.
Abstract shapes paint a monochrome landscape across the room. A tailored bed sheet with integrated bedside sets sets up a completely black base.
A bright white dresser reflects light from a huge bedroom window.
Our final dark, textured home design has an interior area of 1779 square feet, and resides next to the Xinbei Guandu bridge. The river plot offers magnificent views of the mountains. A volcanic rock feature wall completes the natural location of the home.
Natural, eco-friendly, artistic mineral paints were used, along with a cement ceiling, old and rust-stained steel beams, and a wooden herringbone.

When the desk is not used for work, a sort of coffee table books and glass vases transform the desk into an attractive sofa table. Decorative objects are also displayed in the tailored bookcases, where they are warmly backlit to create a cozy evening atmosphere.
Mesh dining room pendant lights create a bright sculptural arrangement over a rounded rectangular dining table. A luxurious white marble table top reflects the atmospheric luster.
The modern dining room runs off one side of the small kitchen island. The main body of the kitchen is neatly hidden from view behind secret sliding doors. Buddhist artwork absorbs a zen-like feeling of calm.
Each technology is hidden from view to evoke a complete sense of peace, and a deep connection with the rhythm of nature that awaits just outside the window.
Advancing into the master bedroom, we arrive behind a centrally placed bedside table. The modern winged bedside design defines a clear walkway into the bedroom, and a wardrobe in front of the closets.
The single bed sheet wraps a solid, orange cocoon around the headboard.
A vanity table stands across the foot of the bed, decorated simply with a bent vain mirror and a modern vase of foliage.
In the second bedroom, muted orange paints form a divided wall treatment around the perimeter.
A desk/dressing room crosses the top of the low mounted bedside table. A wooden effect shield joins all the bedroom furniture together as one fluid piece.

Abstract Family Home That Provides Escape From City Life
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Abstract, linear volumes pile up to form a distinct modern 4266 square foot home for five families in Bangalore, India. Created by Spine Architects, the unique angular shape stands out sharply against a gray, densely populated metropolis. Pure white concrete and rich wooden cladding contain a dwelling based on the ancient architectural science of Vaastu, which embraces the advantages of nature. The interior spaces are simple, spacious and projected around two landscaped courtyards, each with skylights that flood sunlight into the openly interconnected floors of the house. The natural greenery brings a valuable exterior within the introverted urban housing, with trees that draw the eye up through the impressive void.
An illusion of floating piles is realized through cracks and openings around the modern home exterior, which gives the building its name “Floating Walls”.
The visually appealing structure is defined from the densely populated site by sloping white concrete walls that protrude from the front and side. Rich wood cladding looks warm and attractive under the glare of exterior lights.
The toned wood and clear glass elements juxtapose the solid white walls.
Unconventional slices swayed throughout the building to accommodate natural light and exterior views, while maintaining ultimate privacy.
Sun-seeking plants spring from behind the hidden walls of the home, hinting at the nature-centered design that awaits interior.
An impressive front entrance gate makes a smart and lasting first impression.
A layered verandah climbs to the inner front door, surrounded by lush green lawns and full plant beds.
The front entrance is a completely clear and seamless glass box, where the only frame is around the door itself.
Upon entering the apartment, we escape from city life behind a screen of tall tropical plants that filter out sunlight and spy eyes. The “casual” living room behind the ground floor is an elegant arrangement of project furniture with raised yellow and blue accents. A unique glass coffee table is raised by a striking rug. A chic store completes an Eames-style armchair.
Wooden clad feature walls echo the exterior aesthetics of the house. Tanned chairs continue the rich earthy tone to the dining room.
A Buddha statue designates a cult area within the first landscape courtyard project on the ground floor. A temple tree appears from behind the Puja, drawing the eye up through the multi-storey void to a skylight above.
The indoor plant eats sunlight from a large skylight. A glass wall welcomes the sunlight into the neighboring bedroom.
The skylight is positioned directly above the tree-lined courtyard on the ground floor.
On the other side of the living room from the first floor, a modern home office is arranged with a minimalist floating desk.
The glass wall room is decorated with a vibrant contrast of purple red and royal blue accent pieces. Fabric panels are installed to give privacy when needed.
Built-in shelf niches are lined with red cracks.
Each bedroom in the home gets its own unique identity.
Creating a bedroom chair and rug defines a small lounge area within this beautiful bedroom.
Intertwined interior and exterior spaces filter natural light and ventilation.
Upstairs on the second floor is a guest bedroom and a half-open terrace with a kitchen.
A traditional load carrying and counterweight system was used to drastically cantilever a series of 2 ″ thick Sadahalli slabs at a screen wall at the front entrance.
Ground floor plan, including formal and informal lounges, the kitchen, dining room and lounge, and the first of five bedrooms. The ground floor bedroom series stands complete with a bathroom and closet for the homeowner’s parents.
A mezzanine floor plan, including a bedroom suite with a wardrobe and a bathroom.
First floor plan, including the master bedroom, guest bedroom, another children’s bedroom, family lounge area, and study room with balcony.
Second floor plan, including a second guest bedroom with private bathroom, and a large terrace with kitchen.

Sleek Geometric Villa In Mallorca WIth A Glass Facade
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
On a 1,000 square meter southern plot of land, Villa Anguli overlooks Camp de Mar, Mallorca, from a privileged high position. Created by E5 Living, the modern Mediterranean residence of 399 square meters has spectacular sea views that have influenced its geometric architecture and elegant glass facade. Superior interior luxury is realized in chic modern furniture and a clean minimalist approach. White walls, lots of light and high ceilings make it a perfect gallery space for an avid collection of contemporary works by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol and Banksy. The artwork injects vibrant bursts of color over three floors of seamless spaces, each drawing to the panorama.
The geometric architecture of Villa Anguli projects along a sharp oblique angle of its built-in base on the hillside. This irregular shape allows the villa to absorb glorious sea views across the entire width of its elegant glass facade.
An original, wide-width roof project enhances the geometric nature of the architecture and shades the interior from the strong sunlight.
Isolated high on the hillside, built into the rock, the villa is surrounded by amazing views to sea and sky.
With views of the cool, sparkling waterfront, there just had to be a pool here.
The wide pool project extends along the width of the villa, disappearing suddenly under the sloping wing.
A high perimeter wall privately separates the villa from the road.
At night, the exterior lighting scheme ignites excitement around the terraces and terrestrial grounds of the villa.
Glass railings invisibly surround an elevated walkway into the villa from the pool deck, leaving the vast windows of the facade unobstructed.
Soaking yourself in the pool while looking over the gulf feels like diving into the light blue sea itself. Cap Andritxol headland rolls away.
An outdoor lounge is arranged on the pool terrace, to take advantage of the excellent Mediterranean weather. In the luxury villa is developed an interior living room with a double living room and a formal dining room. Four large dining room hanging lights descend from the impressive ceiling height in the center of the space, where bluer skies cut through the white concrete structure.
The longer side of the sofa look inward to the fireplace. A comfortable puff provides a small footrest to toe toes in the winter months. A large regional rug extends a comfortable cream base under the modern living room layout. A range of gray accent cushions contrasts with the cream sofa upholstery.
The wide latticed roof treatment creates light play through the floors and terraces, which resemble a deck or pier that leads out to the sea.
The interior plan pales within the spectacular architectural manipulation of space and light. Sunlight flows through clerestory windows that frame artistic views of the roof line and skyscraper. Retractable walls fuse the in-outdoor living experience to embrace the island’s beautiful climate.
There is a peaceful harmony between the views and internal distribution.
High quality materials form the modern construction.
Artwork by some of the world’s leading artists gives an attractive color and character.
Wide open interior spaces, long white walls, high ceilings and abundant light make this home an amazing gallery.
After dark, a stunning modern lighting scheme of subtle inserted spotlights, perimeter light strips, stair lights and flush-fitted wall lights set the whole place. The distribution of light pays equal attention to art and architecture.
The entire upper level is dedicated to a luxurious master bedroom series. Up here, a courtyard grows a tropical jungle theme in the center of the floor plan. On the one hand, the green interval makes a delightful wall …
..On the opposite side, the enclosed mini-jungle breaks the corridor to the master bathroom. Arranged cupboards line the opposite side of the passage.
An exit terrace has views of the coast.
A narrow internal corridor leads to each of the three-story bedrooms, but they are also pleasantly joined outside by the sun terrace.
The artwork that creates a striking draw at the top of this staircase is Kindness, 2011 by Damien Hirst.
Sandy beaches, water sports, great restaurants, cafes, shops, and the 18-hole “Gulf of Andratx” await at Camp de Mar.
Puerto Andratx lies just 5 minutes away for more bars, restaurants, shopping, shops and the yacht club.
Palma International Airport is just a 25-minute drive away.
On the ground floor plan, we can see the equal scale of three double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Sliding glass doors unite the bedrooms with the outdoor space and pool. We can also observe the angular nature of the open living area that cuts the cantilevered sun terrace. The ground floor of the villa was evenly divided between indoor and outdoor living spaces, with retractable walls blurring the boundary.
The upper floor plan illustrates the main series in detail. The actual bedroom is located just in front of the villa to plant the bed at sight. The bedroom also connects with its own sun terrace, which is set up along the oblique corner of the living room below.
There is also a spacious, private roof terrace. A parking garage for three cars is located behind the villa and leads directly to lift access to all floors.

Subtle Grey Interior With Classic Details
Like Architecture and Interior Design Follow us …
Subtle Grey Interior covers this modern apartment interior with a sense of calm and refinement, while classic details add history and character. Displayed by Alexander Belkov, the home is designed to embrace the modern coveted open plan living space layout with a large kitchen dining island and a dedicated space for the mandatory home workspace. The master bedroom is a serene gray and white separation scheme, where a houndstooth upholstered bed adds a fashionable yet playful interaction with the simpler parts. Traditional intricate crown molding and ultra-contemporary stripes create a beautiful contradiction. A stunning bathroom gets the last hint of neoclassical charm from cleverly paneled molded walls, defined under soft mood light and sharp black finishes.
A deeply cushioned and welcoming modular sofa extends through the center of the airy open concept living space.
A light and textured area rug connect the sofa with the TV wall of the living room.
Immediately behind the sofa, brandy colored Faint a lounge chair designed by Space Copenhagen for Fredericia and a matching armchair form an elegant reading area at the windows.
The TV wall project is made up of elegant modern panels with a fresh white oak lacquer layer. A modern TV shelf cracks right into a corner below.
A modern floor lamp serves the reading area when natural light from the windows is not enough.
Recessed mood light creates a comfortable glow around the paneled TV wall.
Black Venetian blinds accentuate the series of large windows within the simple white-painted wall.
A small wrap-around side table attracts the black accent to the soft white sectional sofa layout.
A traditional, intricate crown fusion frames a ceiling of modern, niche stripe lights. One-way headlights provide a more focused light.
Behind the open plan of a living room, the kitchen is tucked into one corner. The position sets up clear zoning, and keeps the daily kitchen mess and clutter out of the simple sight of the relaxed spaces.
An induction hob lies at the other end of the white quartz kitchen island; an integrated extractor provides a simplified finish.
White floor tiles glow brightly under a long strip light. Under-closet lights focus on the kitchen sink and preparation area behind. A tower unit on both sides balances the kitchen, where they contain an integral oven and the refrigerator.
The white home entrance is heated by a wall of wooden lacquer cabinets. Recessed perimeter lighting highlights the attractive wood grain.
A huge round mirror adorns the opposite wall of the square home entrance. The backlight design plays a uplifting role in the gray painted wall. Two modern rustic stools furnish the limited floor area.
Moving into the master bedroom, a houndstooth bed holds a playfully structured headboard.
The serene bedroom has a gray and white dividing pattern, where a raised gray panel along the hood wall hides an LED ribbon. The LEDs emit a golden aura around a contemporary bedside table that matches the silhouette of the side table in the living room.
At the other end of the upholstered bed, a different style of side table changes the aesthetic. Modern bedside lamps fall in a hot red light.
The large textured area rug creates a soft walkway around the bed, and connects it with a unique toilet next to the window.
A raised wooden plinth is hidden in the glare of the warm white LEDs, and provides extra drop-down space for phones and books.
A fluffy puff makes a comfortable landing at the wooden vanity table.
The bedroom TV wall follows the same gray and white split decorative style, with the white base section adding an attractive stone texture.
A bold, linear TV adds a beautifully smooth wooden accent against the rough stone.
The cracked wall therapy continues directly across the face from the bedroom door, mixing it quietly into its surroundings. Traditional crown molding makes another delicate look around contemporary strips.
Gray and white decorative candles bring the gray and white tonal contrast into the details.
A full height mirror reflects the entrance into the bedroom’s dressing room.
A black-painted ceiling differentiates the walk-in closet from the rest of the bedroom project.
The black ceiling is balanced by a wide black shoe sole on the bottom.
A custom wardrobe provides a set of hanging rails, clothes racks and raised boxes.
Atmospheric lighting leads us through the bathroom, where it flows from a high and narrow shelf niche that takes away a collection of favorite toilets at the pool.
The modern bathroom linen has a ribbed base unit that provides a palpable contrast to the smooth stone roof and integral basin.
The ceiling is surrounded by an LED strip over the vain unit, to provide a focused task light over a fieldless vanity mirror.
Wall-mounted cannon-metal gray faucet adds an edgy modernity to the sink.
Dark bathrooms sharply define the key areas of the bathroom. A modern red plate pierces the toilet area, while a wide valve plate is centralized within the shower.
A second niche of tower shelf provides the design of the shower space.
Panel molding gives the bathroom an elegant, neoclassical style.
