Beautiful Houses: Casa Kimball in the Domincan Republic

Posted: 23 Apr 2010 03:33 AM PDT

Following the success of Fabiano's article 'One of the Most Beautiful Houses I've Ever Seen' and also some requests from our readers, we are proud to announce a new post series here at Abduzeedo, a series about Beautiful Houses. The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week, to start our series, we present you the amazing Casa Kimball.

Casa Kimball is a house located in the Dominican Republic. A place designed by Rangr Studio, an internationally published architectural design firm with experience in a variety of project types, scales and countries. The house is for sure really beautiful and wonderfully designed. The lines of the construction, the mix of elements, the huge spaces and the big windows/doors gave even a greater look to an already perfect located place, with amazing views. With its glass doors, the house's interiors kind of mix with the exteriors, giving the house a nice and natural lightning system and also allowing the breeze in with no barriers when needed. The pool with its infinite edge line that seem to merge into the ocean is also very unique and inspiring.

Well, I could write much more about this place but I believe that the images will speak for themselves, so sit back and enjoy! And to read further details about this project go to http://www.rangr.com/Casa_Kimball. See you next time. :)

And as for all these beautiful photographies, they are all made by Paul Warchol.

Old School Skateboard Designs

Posted: 22 Apr 2010 08:50 PM PDT

As a child, I remember my older brothers going to skate, and I used to find those skateboards pretty awesome. It's incredible how those old school skateboard designs were so darn cool...

Today we get to see a bunch of really well designed boards, but most of it doesn't have that same spirit of coolness, rather than just "well designed" or pretty. I vote for more old school design nowadays. These are all from the collection of some guy (I didn't find his name), and there are a bunch more at his site, so you should really go there check them out. I hope you enjoy these, and if any of you out there designs skates, please, remember these the next time you do your thing. Cheers! ;)

This is modern design, but it's sweeeet.
