11 of the most breathtaking buildings humanity is constructing right now

It can be said with certainty that many modern-day architects are truly visionaries. They strive to bring us closer to the stars. Here we present a few examples of their most impressive work. We think all of the following buildings are a hopeful sign that the future is near — and it’s going to be awe-inspiring. Just look at the sheer size and ambition of what’s being built!

The Cobra Towers

These towers in the form of two intertwined cobras are scheduled to be built in Kuwait. Construction was due to start as early as 2008, but the project was frozen because of the financial crisis. One of the key questions has centred on how to build lifts for a building with a spiral structure. There has been a proposal to use a system based on compressing air using pneumatic tubes.

Kingdom Tower

The Kingdom Tower, which when completed will be even taller than the Burj Khalifa (currently the tallest building in the world), is being constructed in Saudi Arabia. It will be the first building in the world to reach a height over a kilometre. It will have space for offices, luxury apartments, an observatory, a Four Seasons hotel, and the highest viewing platform in the world. Construction started last year and should be completed by 2019.

Shanghai Tower

The construction of this 121-storey building began in 1993, but was only completed this year — and fitting work is still going on. However, the impressive view from the top of the tower has already been seen by millions of people, thanks to head-spinning images taken by two fearless Russian adrenaline junkies, who broke into the building site and climbed to the top illegally last year.

Dubai Pearl

Between planning the largest shopping mall and the highest tower in the world, someone in Dubai decided that the country should also have at least one luxurious building that looked vaguely similar to an ordinary apartment block. In this planned ’city within a city’, there will be four towers joined by a sky bridge and an exclusive theatre with space for 1,800 people.

Agora Garden Tower

callebaut

The construct of the Agora Garden Tower is set for 2016. It will become an interesting compromise between man’s industriousness and the influence and importance of nature. The twisting tower will be in green in all senses of the word: every balcony will have a garden, and it will rely on energy from the sun and recycled rain water.

World One Tower

vsviti

The 117-storey World One tower is due to become the tallest residential building anywhere in the world. It will also be the tallest in the city of Mumbai. It will have 300 luxury apartments designed by Georgio Armani.

King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center

It may be the shortest building in this list, but it’s not less magnificent than the others. This building in Saudi Arabia is similar to the lair of a James Bond villain, with its futuristic design centred on interlocking hexagonal cells.

Suzhou Zhongnan Center

Recently, in China the construction of a new 730-metre tower, costing $4.5 billion, was begun. It’s going to take a long, long time to complete. But if it’s completed by 2020 in accordance with its schedule, it will become the highest building in China nad the third highest in the world.

Lotte World Tower

Considerably higher than all other buildings in Seoul, South Korea, the soaring, 556-metre Lotte World Tower is due to be completed in 2016. It will contain shops, offices, apartments, hotels and a viewing platform.

Dawan Mountain Resort

The Dawang Mountain Resort in China will open in 2016. It will include an ’ice amusement complex’, an indoor skiing complex, a water park, and hanging gardens. As you can see, it’s a real work of art.

The Songjiang Hotel

This hotel, again located in China, is designed to sit inbetween cliffs on a lake. A waterfall will literally stream down its outside walls. If you don’t like the view from the top, you can always go to the lowest floors and have a look out — they’re located underwater.

A Paradise Of A Place

We previously visited three spectacular Thai villas at the amazing luxury getaway on the island of Koh Samui, and we just can’t help going back for more. So, come with us once again to Thailand’s second-largest island after Phuket, as we visit yet another villa at Samujana.

Situated on a serene corner plot of the luxury villa resort, the five bedroom, five bathroom holiday home is flooded with fresh contemporary luxury. An airy open plan living area spills out onto a generous sun deck where the views of natural beauty can soothe the soul. An outdoor lounge setup brings further opportunity for relaxing or entertaining in the fresh air, and a private saltwater infinity pool provides the perfect place to cool off or clock up a few laps as part of your exercise regime.

Stony walls soften the look of the contemporary architecture, and make the building appear more at one with the surrounding beaches and natural beauty.

The massive sun deck basks in the view of a glorious panorama.

The furniture and décor has been kept white, bright and simple throughout the vacation villa, giving the place a clean and uncomplicated look.

Each of the five huge en-suite bathrooms offer rainfall showers and modern freestanding bathtubs, along with exquisite finishes and tropical landscapedgarden views.

King sized contemporary platform beds fill the bedrooms, providing plenty of sleep space to stretch out in. Retractable glass doors open up the slumber zones to the great outdoors and private terraces.

Modern Luxury Villas

Modern Luxury Villas

This 600 square meter beauty was completed by the firm in 2012.

This is another villa designed by them which is about 510 square meter in size.

…design took into consideration the impact of the natural factors on the edifice, including wind directions, sun and natural light allowing the users to enjoy the sea breeze and natural ventilation. The interior and exterior spaces were designed as “a whole”. Minimal structure, transparent walls and long vistas to the yard and pool helped blur the borders between the inside and the outside. A multi-functional wall stretching from one side of the house to the other is seen as though it is floating. The wall is covered with aluminum profiles in various sections. These sections have an esthetic side creating breathtaking views as one is gazing to the entrance of the house. On top of that, the profiles are insulated and have a role in decreasing energy lost in the house. The materials used were basic and natural – teak wood, aluminum, glass and grey basalt floor finish.

This is yet another one at 600 square meter.

The villa is located in the new Golf quarter in Ceasaria, and the site’s back yard is facing the golf courts. It was designed as a sealed sculptural mass towards the street covered in a bronze plate. The gates leads to an enclosed patio, enclosed with two 4m high bronzedoors. The patio creates a buffer zone between the house and the street. Once entering the house an uninterrupted vista of the infinity pool, the yard and the golf courts is exposed. Similar to the street face, the majority of the house is covered with bronze panels. Bronze was also used for the window frame to create a comprehensive look for the house. The interior design of the house is characterized in grey-white palette with different materials and textures.

Luxurious Interior Design Is Not About Showing Off

Post author By Graphic World Co.

A luxurious interior design is usually associated with expensive items of furniture, opulent finishings and all that goes around the lexical field of extravagance. But, when analysed honestly, a home wears the style when it lacks vulgarity. Realised by Les Interieurs, the dwelling in the gallery below is imposing, elegant and very inspiring for those who want to live sophisticatedly. But, before checking the elements of this luxurious interior design, a short note: what makes the inhabitants feel rich at home is its generous open spaces. When there is room for everything, you experience a comfortable feeling of relief and, why not, satisfaction. Add high quality furniture and original objects d’art and you will have what is called luxury.

Black is the colour of the luxurious interior design. It works splendidly for textures, ceramics and leather.
