An old 45 m2 holiday apartment located in a seafront building – Mati, Attica (Greece) – gets completely renovated and modernized to meet the needs of the new generation. The interior space changes as in the new plan an additional bedroom is added, while the main room is attached with the living room creating a uniform feel. The architecture adopted in this apartment is designed to play with the limits of a conventional seasonal apartment, to awaken the senses but also the illusions and to strengthen the dialogue between the owner and the sea.

Tree houses continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of children of all ages, and this spectacular Bungalow style tree house is no exception. The tree house features two types of swings, a spacious deck, play spaces in both the tree and playhouse, and an exhilarating twisty slide for a thrilling descent. Perfect for residential applications, themed parks and playgrounds. One of the most interesting features of this tree house is that it doesn't incorporate a real tree into it's play space. The tree is crafted from environmentally friendly gfrc (glass fiber reinforced concrete), and will not die or degrade over time. In fact, gfrc strengthens as it ages, providing a play element that will be enjoyed by children for many years to come.

This pressure treated pine deck replaced an old rectangular deck for these homeowners.

The bumped out section of the deck creates a more interesting look with different angles. The herringbone pattern creates a modern detail while strengthening the deck. This wood deck was custom designed and built by Joliet, IL wood deck designer, Archadeck of Chicagoland

This wood deck was custom designed and built by Buffalo Grove, IL deck designer, Archadeck of Chicagoland.
