Bright houses of the world: how color influences architectural style?
  • Bright houses: how color affects the perception of architecture?
  • Unique architectural solutions: from eco-friendliness to vibrant colors

Bright shades in the logo

The variety of color shades represented in the logo of our .ru website has been chosen with great intention. It reflects the diversity and richness of the real estate world, where bright colors are often found in architecture. We can observe houses decorated in a wide range of shades, as well as buildings that surprise not only with their bright, vibrant tones but also with their original building materials.

House "Two Sisters"

One impressive example is a house known as "Two Sisters," which stands out with its bright red hue. This architectural gem is located in the Langstiņi area of Riga. The project was developed by the Riga-based architectural firm NRJA (No Rules Just Architecture).

A duplex building designed for two families is characterized by an unusual layout:

  • The first floor, with a total area of approximately 3,600 square meters, includes two lobbies that are connected by a shared glass veranda.
  • On the second floor, there are two residential wings that rest on reinforced piles.
  • Each accommodation is equipped with cozy living rooms with kitchens, two bedrooms, and bathrooms.
  • Each living room comes with an open terrace offering a picturesque view of Lake Langstini.

The bright red color and original design make this house a true gem for lovers of creative architecture.

Orange dome house in Thailand

Another remarkable example is the orange dome house, built in just six weeks on a mango farm in Thailand. Stepan Arin, the owner, constructed this building himself, investing only 9 thousand dollars into it. The main structure cost him 6 thousand, while the decoration and furniture added another 3 thousand to the total amount.

The house is made of cement blocks and unburned bricks, featuring a bright orange coating both inside and out, highlighting its eco-friendliness and harmony with the surrounding nature. The orange color resembles a shade of clay, creating an extraordinary sense of coziness and warmth.

The "Boa Mistura" project in Madrid

In Madrid, the capital of Spain, a group of artists from the collective "Boa Mistura" has started a project aimed at transforming the Mexican town of Santiago de Querétaro. They have begun the first phase by painting over 30 buildings in bright colors and unique geometric patterns inspired by the Otomi style.

This artistic style is renowned for its rich tones.

  • Red
  • Orange
  • Blue
  • Yellow

The style also includes geometric shapes and images of animals and vegetation against a backdrop of pristine white or colorful walls. The second phase of the project is set to begin in September 2014 and will continue until all 1,074 houses are revitalized. Every day, this area is transformed thanks to the efforts of the artists from the "Boa Mistura" team.

Unique house by Weichlbauer Ortis

Equally appealing is the house designed by architects from the Weichlbauer Ortis bureau, located in a picturesque area near the Austrian town of Fronleiten. The uniqueness of this building lies in the fact that its exterior walls are covered with astroturf — artificial bright green grass.

This unusual appearance creates a sense of harmony with the surrounding nature and emphasizes the connection with the landscape. With each new project, designers and architects continue to amaze society with their creative solutions in the fields of design and construction, bringing vibrant accents and diversity to everyday life.

Unique elements of the building

This building features many original details, one of the most striking being its finishing. The concrete staircases seem to float in the air, while the horizontally arranged windows and doors resemble railings for imaginary balconies. The green wall panels covered in grass contribute to the organic integration of the structure into the surrounding environment. The building is painted in a rich sapphire blue and designed by Danish architect Peter Vejlgaard, who works at Faro Architecten. This unique skyscraper, intended for a single household, is located in the Eiburg district on the artificial island of Steigereiland, just a few kilometers from the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. The color of the building echoes the deep blue waters of the nearby lake, creating an impressive visual effect.

Ecological approach to construction

This house was built with an emphasis on the efficient use of natural resources. The main facade faces south, allowing for maximum utilization of sunlight and heat, which in turn significantly reduces dependence on electricity.

The cooling system in this building works as follows:

  • The air from the rooms passes through underground pipelines.
  • It returns back, already cooled down.

Rainwater harvesting is used in plumbing fixtures, highlighting an eco-friendly approach to design. Wood and recycled materials were used in construction, demonstrating a commitment to natural resource conservation.

Purple house in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, plots of land are very expensive, so architects decided to create tall blue structures that have become known as the most purple houses on the planet. The neighbors of this building in Hillingdon, Middlesex, also stand out with their purple design. This unique house is on the market for £400,000. Every element of the interior is done in a variety of purple shades:

  • Bedrooms.
  • Bathrooms.
  • Deep purple-toned carpets.
  • Lavender-colored ceilings.

The furniture, including the chairs, is upholstered in purple fabric, and the kitchen countertop is made of dark purple stone. Each element of the walls is also painted in a sophisticated lavender color.

Pink apartment in Surrey

For lovers of pink, there is a two-bedroom apartment in Hersham, Surrey, that looks like a true dream for Barbie doll fans. The kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom in this home are decorated in a naive style, reminiscent of a dollhouse. Renting such a place costs £850 per month. Living in this "toy house" allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of childhood memories while still being an affordable option.

New condominium in Miami

In addition, a new multi-story condominium project in Brickell, located in Miami, has recently been completed. The project was designed by the famous designer Karim Rashid, known for his stylish aesthetic approach and vibrant, unusual color solutions. This building is impossible to miss due to its bright fruit shades. Rashid has decorated the pools in a juicy orange color, while the ceilings are a neon-bright fuchsia. Each room is furnished with stylish round sofas and uniquely shaped chairs, creating a unique atmosphere that attracts residents and guests. This condominium has become a true work of art, filled with creativity and vibrant energy.
