Exquisite British Tradition Meets Contemporary Chic Notes of Design
When the idyllic scenery and the tradition of Britain’s architectural countryside heritage come together, the result is spectacular. Contemporary times meet the Victorian Age, creating a perfect commitment between old and new. The Radcliff House is one of the finest luxury homes ever seen in Oxford, built and designed entirely by Millegate Homes, an award-winning housebuilding company. The excellent British prestige is captured inside the walls of this georgeous residence accommodating five bedroom suits, an opened space living room, a kitchen and dining area, a games room and a study room. Spreading on three levels the house is a mix of sophisticated glossy surfaces and classic furnishing. Patterns and elegant prints cover the walls and the sofas, invoking that particular classy sprinkle of royal treatment.
Minimalism is not an option. The house has been designed for individuals who admire opulence and apreciate the classic value of luxury, with its overflowing grace towards details. Wood, curtains, patterns, chandeliers, velvet – an abundance of elements that meet up for “party”, embrace everything in timeless elegance. The boldness of gold and silver shadings interrupt the palette of neutral colours. Undoubtedly, the quality of materials is exceptional. Every element of décor is a lesson about style. The house facilitates access to a swimming pool and a summer house. The site is beautiful and tranquil, a perfect spot to start exploring the authentic elements of England’s countryside.

5 CommentsEnchanting Feng Shui Notes: Remarkable JKC 1 House in Singapore
A trip to Singapore and here we are, in one of its most exclusive districts, Bukit Timah, admiring the JKC 1 House, designed by a very interesting firm of architecture, ONG&ONG. A high class residence, adorned with natural elements, that compose a balanced Feng Shui environment, ideal for those who want to feel reconciled with their inner selves and prefer a peaceful lifestyle. The JKC 1 is a mix of contemporary refinement and Asian healing elements. The nature spreads and blossoms all around the house, becoming an important part of it.
The ground floor accommodates the living room and the dining room, offering an amazing view upon the front lawn. The daring thing and the element of surprise is the lack of windows, so basically the breezy air and the sunlight penetrate the living area, without boundaries. Besides the recharging doze of green, the house unveils a stunning swimming pool, right in front of the opened space. The transition from the interior environment to the exterior landscape is made through a wooden floor terrace, spreading like an extension of the house. The stairs, that connect the floor ground with the upper level reveal an interesting concept : “café latte”. The lower part of it is wrapped in white marble and the upper side in appealing brown wood. Wandering through the house, another staircase attracts the attention. Playful and meandering, it carries you from a feng shui spot, with small pebbles, rocks and slender trees up to the roof top. It’s kind of odd, but delightful. The roof top is a plain terrace, ideal for social gatherings, with friends and family.

Samsung ships five million Galaxy Notes in just five months
Five is an important number for Samsung’s Galaxy Note. It has a 5.3-inch screen and now, just five months since it debuted Samsung has announced it’s shipped five million units (the one million mark was crossed right around the end of December). That’s certainly long enough for you to decide if you’re in love with its super-sized frame or the accompanying S-Pen stylus, but unfortunately it has not been quite enough time for the highly-anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich software update to be released. While the world waits for the Premium Suite of apps and Android 4.0, let’s think back to all the good times we had, including its initial unveiling, our original review and finally its arrival in the US on AT&T. So, are you convinced yet that there’s a place in the world for a device like this, or five million phablets later are you still thinking this is just a fad?
