Built by Fougeron Architects, the Buck Creek House in Big Sur will have you scrolling round’ and round’ through the photos of this beautiful Pacific Coast home.

As you can see the new Apple campus will pretty much be ground-breaking architecture that will set new standards in energy usage, material usage and many other efficiencies. Go behind the scenes with Apple and its architect Norman Foster with the video below and see how the planning of Campus 2.

Whatever it is we would all like to live in a house that we want – a residence that stands out from the rest, a residence that we would certainly dream about.

At first glance, your eyes will tell you that these Photorealistic Paintings of Contemporary Homes are in fact real. Blink one more time and sure enough you’ll find that these photos are in fact paintings. San Francisco-based artist Tom McKinley is the brains behind the project that explores these classic mid-century and contemporary homes. You’ll also find that the paintings don’t contain any human occupants, but obviously portray that someone does live in the home. The houses are clean and simple in architectural geometry and feature luxurious goods like reflective swimming pools, pool tables, furniture and patio verandas that are complemented by modern art. Check the painting below and let us know what you think!
A rise in electronic DJ’s has the masses thinking they can do it too. But, DJ’s like Avicii have been perfecting their craft for years and it has more than paid off. The Swedish-born musician/DJ has just closed on his new $15.5 million dollar home in the hills of Hollywood, CA and we get to take a look inside. It features panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles all the way to Santa Monica, Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean and beyond. It consists of 7,007 sq. ft. that houses six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as state of the art technology, including a remote access Vantage Home Automation system that features a fingerprint recognition security system. This my friends, is something we like to call, “a dream home within a dream.”
