5 Futuristic home ideas that are invented and there in the world

       For most, the word “house” conjures images of rectangular dwellings with front porches and chimneys. Front lawns and garages too. But gone are those days! Because here are 10 futuristic home designs you need to consider as a part of future. Since Climate change, population growth and geo-political shifts are already redefining the way we look at residential spaces of the future.

Here are 7 Futuristic homes which you might want to upgrade into but let me tell you that couple of them are already out there for you.

1) Roll Home

California Roll House Korean designer Christopher Daniel of  ViolentVolumes is a futuristic concept of a prefab home designed to be assembled and disassembled in record time.

This house house was designed for arid environments and is wrapped into an energy efficient shell that reflects heat from the sun.

 2) The Wolke 7

When it comes to traveling homes, some prefer the land and some prefer the see but in the future, some will choose the sky! 

The Wolke 7 flying home concept has modern creature comforts and then some- not to mention, style that looks straight out of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. 

3) The Discus hotel

Water Discus Hotel is an under water hotel that comprises of two discs - an underwater and above-water one. This combination will allow guests to admire the depths of the ocean while making the most of the warm climate.

The two parts of the structure are connected by five solid legs and a vertical shaft containing a lift and stairway. The size of each disc has been adjusted to local conditions.

4) Urban Tree House

The new urban treehouse by Baumraum brings the peaceful lifestyle of a treehouse to a city with 3.5 million neighbors. It’s the latest project by Baumraum, and unlike the rural retreats it has designed before, this one is located inside Berlin’s city limits.

Baumraum’s Urban Treehouse was a design concept that continues the company’s efforts of sustainable, raised-treehouse living. It’s a figurative treehouse, in that it is supported by steel instead of building into an existing tree.

5) Weave House

“Weaving a home” reexamines the traditional architectural concept of tent shelters by creating a technical, structural fabric that expands to enclose and contracts for mobility while providing the comforts of contemporary life (heat, running water, electricity, storage, etc.)

So which home are you planning for future? let us know in the comments section below.

HOW TO BUY A CONDO IN MIAMI BEACH FLORIDA?

        Miami Beach Florida has long been known as the Magic City, a place like no other that boasts a lively mix of cultures, a great climate and undeniable coolness. Miami Beach have become the entertainment and relaxation mecca for the rich and famous. Miami Beach real estate investment in beach front condominiums (Condo) and single family homes makes it very attractive. Oceanfront condos, villas, lofts and town homes offer residents a lifestyle with amazing ocean views, top of the line amenities and five star resort-like living.

But before you pack your bags and call a real estate agent, keep these important factors in mind before buying your paradise -

1) The location of the building (waterfront or non-waterfront)
2) Type of waterfront (oceanfront or bayfront)

3) Parking and the number of parking spaces

4) The unit itself (the finishes and decor)
5) The building and it's brand
6) The unit itself (the line of the unit and it's view)
there are other factors too, but these are a few of the important ones

Also get familiar with the following sites and ranges of "How to?" and "Where to?" buy a condo in Miami , as we listed out the best for you.

Thank us later.

1) Sunset Islands

Palm trees, lush gardens, and large yards offer ample privacy in this small residential community that occupies four islands. Aptly named Sunset Islands, this neighborhood is on the west coast of Miami Beach and is ideal for watching the sun go down. Here you will find luxurious homes with private parking, boat docks, and waterways that lead to Biscayne Bay.

This exclusive community features big houses with big price tags. While most house sales start at three million dollars, it is possible to find a house for rent for less than $10,000 a month.

2) South of Fifth 

This seven-block radius is on the most southern tip of Miami Beach is filled with new condo developments, SoFi is home to the wealthiest Miami residents and celebrities. Condos here sell for between $500,000 to more than one million dollars, while rent prices are around $3,000 per month. 

The high price points come with the best in luxury, and many buildings offer 24-hour security, outdoor pool areas with sundecks and hot tubs, tennis courts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and contemporary designs. SoFi residents also have the benefit of walking to nightclubs in South Beach and sunbathing on the beach.

3) Bal Harbour

Bal Harbor is the place to live in Miami Beach if you want to avoid tourist congestion and the MTV Spring Break party atmosphere. Found at the northern tip of Miami Beach island, Bal Harbour offers a peaceful and luxurious residential community. However, like the rest of Miami Beach, this piece of paradise comes at a premium. Most beachfront condominium complexes rent units for $2,500 to $4,000 per month.

Meet your neighbors at the community-run, free fitness classes on the beach, or mix with the locals at the Bal Harbour Shops complex. This posh outdoor mall features designer-brand retail stores, koi ponds, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and luxury boutiques.

4) Mid Beach

Mid Beach extends from 24th Street to 63rd Street and is a more relaxing and family friendly area of Miami Beach. Additionally, there are many oceanfront hotels and popular shopping destinations in this area. Frequently visited by tourists and locals from other areas of Miami, parking is less difficult here than in other areas of the beach.

In Mid Beach, housing costs considerably more for properties near the waterfront and well-traveled wooden boardwalk. However, no matter where you choose to live in Mid Beach—be it a detached house, a condo, or an apartment—you'll be within walking distance of the ocean. If you're looking to buy, condo units start at around $200,000, while detached houses are in the range of one million dollars. Rental units are quite popular in Mid Beach, and most cost between $1,200 and $3,500 per month.

5) North Beach

As the name implies, North Beach is found north of the Mid Beach area between 63rd Street and 88th Street. While hotels and waterfront resorts occupy the beach, there also is a good balance of residential properties. If you're looking for a single-family or multiple-family home somewhat close to Miami Beach action and entertainment, this is a good choice.

Houses here are more affordable than in Mid and South Beach, and there are several elementary schools in this area. The modest houses here attract young families and sell for around $500,000. Additionally, if you're reluctant to give up your car for the pedestrian lifestyle of Miami Beach, most houses in this area have a garage or carport

6) South Beach

This trendy area of Miami remains the place to see and be seen. The hub of the Miami Art Deco movement, South Beach is a walkable beachfront area of boutique shops, fine dining, and nightclubs. Designed for the young and active, this is the party neighborhood of Miami Beach. The bars stay open until 4 a.m., and many restaurants are open 24 hours.

Most people who live in South Beach live in stylish, low-rise or high-rise condo units. Condo sales range from $200,000 to $750,000, while rental prices are about $2,000 or more per month. You'll notice that prices rise the closer you are to the beach and Ocean Drive. Finally, all condo units are found within a 15-minute walk of the world-famous sandy white beach.
While this area has a lot to offer, one thing that it lacks is parking. There is very limited street, private, and public parking available. Even many condo units will charge more than $100 per month to park on site.


While shopping for your new home in paradise, keep the characteristics of these Miami neighborhoods in mind, and get ready to be envied by your friends and family. You're about to live in one of the most fashionable and coveted cities in the world.

How to give your home that million dollar look?!

        We would all love to live like celebrities - Multi-million dollar homes with thousands of dollars of landscaping. For the average person, however, that just isn’t very practical. But being on a tighter budget doesn’t always mean you can’t have a home with some classy, distinct features.
Your home’s curb appeal is what matters most. The first impression it gives to friends, family, guests, and even potential home buyers can make or break the overall appearance of your home. So upgrade your house into home TODAY!

Here are some affordable and easy facelifts that are must do (or hire us) for the most appealing look!

Do-It-Yourself OR get it done from us!

THE MILLION DOLLAR LOOK FACTORS 

1) Front Door Facelift

Make your front door stand out from the rest as nothing stands out more than a gorgeous front door in a juicy, eye-popping hue and slather on a few coats of paint in a warm, bright color. Red is one of the most popular and is an inviting hue that draws people to your home. Consider hanging up a wreath according to the season to add even more charm to your home.

2) Style Your Home With Sophisticated Soft Furnishings

Most upscale hotels adopt a neutral colour palette of cream and ivory, maintaining a clean and stately look. 

Introduce these colours to your residence with matching upholstery for your cushions, curtains, rugs, and throws.

For some aesthetic juxtaposition, give your decorative pillows and sofa a dark trim. While rugs replicate the soft carpeted floors found in hotel rooms, curtains and drapes provide a certain posh vibe that blinds and shades lack.

3) Install New Hardware

This is an easy trick you can do in a weekend – install new hardware throughout the front of your home like a new doorknob, house numbers, mailbox, and even lamps. It’s time you change that weather warn hardware, you’d be surprised at what a difference this can make!

4) Install Shutters to Your Windows

Shutters are a great way to give your home’s windows a whole new look and are also very practical as well. You can expect to get a lot more control of light and air flow coming into your home. They also make a good addition to amp up your home’s security.

5) Add Architectural Elements

Moldings are a fast, and budget-friendly way to add some charm to your home without the need of re-constructing any existing architecture on your home. Install wooden, or PVC foam moldings to the sides and top of your doorway to outline it and make a grand entrance.


6) Create A Spa-Like Environment In The Bathroom

Vanity countertops like marble will work well in toilets, while hidden cabinets keep things looking simple in the bathroom. Cove lighting under the mirror works well to give off warm cosy vibes. The devil is in the details when it comes to the lavatory.The first thing to do is clean up the space, and remove all visible clutter. Hide storage items under the sink, if you can.
Then, purchase some glass jars to contain essentials such as cotton buds, cotton pads, and soap bars. It is a simple trick with a classy effect. Use trays to organise your toiletries, and get a pair of matching baskets – one with a lid for dirty laundry, and one for fresh towels, which you can roll up for that spa-like essence.

7) Paint Your Garage Door

Give your crackling, paint-peeling garage door a new life and roll on a few coats of fresh paint. You don’t need to match the color of your garage to your front door but if you are settling on an eye-popping hue for your entry, consider choosing something more muted for your garage. If you garage is at it’s life’s end, invest in a durable door from Beacon Garage Doors that will match your home’s existing exterior.

8) Instant Bloom-In Garden

Place a few planters or urns stuffed with lovely flowers at the front of your house for an instant cheering up! Remember to create symmetry, so place two on each side of your front door, garage, or the walkway leading up to your porch.

WHY HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?!

So you might be like "Let’s do it yourself" well it’s not long way when you realize you can't return that sofa that looked so perfect in the store. Before long, you and your spouse are no longer on speaking terms.

It can be hard to know where the responsibility for one contractor ends and the other begins.
