This all-black cabin finds balance between escape and mystery with floor-to-ceiling mountainside windows!

The Bali House from CASA Studio is a cantilevered multi-level mountain retreat with fully glazed glass windows for an almost-all-glass exterior, open-air terraces that offer unobstructed views, and sophisticated living areas with dark stone and warm wooden elements.

It’s hard not to fantasize about our future dream home. Open-air terrace walkways, somewhere with plenty of sunset views, a semi-outdoor dining room, skylights galore. Using 3dsmax, Corona Renderer, and Adobe Photoshop, interior photography and CGI studio, CASA creates 3D visualizations of architectural plans and their interiors for clients in advertising and PR. Designing the escapist homes of our dreams is their job at Casa, and their latest called Bali House features an almost entirely glass facade and a cantilevered frame.

The Bali House seems to be tucked away in the mountains, somewhere with a subtropical climate. Lodged into the mountainside, the Bali House keeps an obscure profile, with a jet black finish and unadorned exterior. On the property’s wood-slatted ground level, an infinity pool takes center stage beside a lounge and roofed dining area. The outside deck area is accessible by a set of stairs that connect to the home’s first floor. The first floor’s kitchen follows the same enigmatic design scheme as the home’s exterior.

Frosted dark stone countertops refine and cool down the kitchen’s rustic wooden panels, giving the kitchen a cozy yet elegant personality. The living area swaps out the home’s sturdy, rectangular elements for playful, circular touches. The standing, arched light fixture almost grazes the ceiling and the room’s circular floor rug showcases a round coffee table in its center. Exiting the living area, a set of stairs leads to the main bedroom and washing areas.

The stairs from the living room bring you to the home’s primary bedroom where a king-sized bed wrapped in ash grey sheets and fluffed with houndstooth pillows. Warm lighting emanates from a smoky grey glass light fixture to set the mood for the bedroom: suave, yet cozy. Walking from the bedroom to the bathroom, a walk-in closet divides the two, and residents are greeted with an open-air layout. The bathroom’s sink, tub, and shower are kept in the same room without doors or borders to separate them, giving the bathroom a subdued mature ambiance ideal for newlyweds and solo travelers.

These architectural renders give life to Elon Musk’s dreams of living in space!

How many times have you heard “I just want to leave this planet for a while!” in the last two years? Very often, right? @sixnfive gives brings that sentiment to life with a collection of architectural renders called ‘What If?’ which is an ode to one of our greatest strengths – imagination. Imagination is a uniquely human ability to visualize unlimited possibilities starting with a simple question like “what if?” and the people who ask it often are the ones driving innovation. This collection explores the possible future move for mankind and probably what Musk has in mind through three elaborate acts

Act one: The Journey includes the meeting, the bedroom, and the dinner room. It represents our trip and the hope to arrive, but also the attachments of our mundane life, carrying memories of a previous reality. Act two: The settlements shows the Universe Edge, Summer House, and Landing Zone. It expresses our freedom to dream and imagine how our intergalactic holiday homes would look like. Act three: The Encounter, is based on human emotions of loving someone, missing someone and being guided. It is all about looking inward and looking from inside, the vestiges of our presence in an inhabited and quiet place.

It explores the perception of time, loneliness, and expectations but it also represents the hope to arrive. Yes, this is scientifically inaccurate but it expresses the freedom to dream and imagine via these zen visuals. Six N.
