home and anyone who visits them will quickly notice that wood is their material of choice. this house is a typical example of modern multis architecture which features clearly defined structures to smooth bright exterior. the edwards lived in northeast of the latter event daughter isabelle who lent her night to the family. welcome to my house. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming pool this visual access makes the outside area of the response of the living space. the edwards moved into the house in twenty sixteen. russell an internet expert from britain and his wife lorraine have travelled extensively and moved house from thirteen times already here they finally feel at home for the first time. i may not travel light. it

just flows really nicely so i always feel. at home there's something lovely about waking up here every day and pretty much the sun is going to be shining and that's really nice. because the sun makes you happy. in order to bring the natural born clean sign the owners relied completely on board as a design element. the entrance area is almost completely paneled with oak and looks like a sculpture with indirect lighting. i was worried that they would take a lot of my space because they were talking as well behind these units and storage things so we have the furniture actually here so i thought that either will take the space of the entrance but like i said you aren't with nisus these looks fantastic. the white metion the wooden wall in the foyer is mirrored by

a similar shaped shelf in the kitchen. called west trying to put the house all together because why is very clean the very i don't know i mean my least big but for me to have a little bit the warm so they're all here was a fantastic idea and i think that is different to any other kitchen is the same for me i like like that. the architect wanted a solid dining table to form a line with a kitchen block. but that proved to be. impractical to walk around i think i think the best. way is that what we tend to do is we tend to. and then we can quickly skip through that which makes it a lot easier when you're putting your feet on the table every day. you're architects of great ideas that sometimes you change little things here on. the

staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif that features a plexi space perspectives. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quiet times in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground. this is the color scheme in the living room. until to morrow because hidden behind the dark blue wooden. living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd sort of turn the lights down and just relax he's one of the if i don't say the only lounge that we have really sat down and drink usually not their homes that we have to leave before never happened this is a turning point. and. something every comedian

fifty meters the winding mountain road is special to. those where the road is legendary because of the way it is and how it was built after driving up while he's felt carsick because of the many bands that stayed in my memory so i thought i want to do something here. the twenty nine year old manages to skate in extremely challenging environments because he has years of experience already as a child he enjoyed trying out new scheme moves over the years he grew to become one of europe's finest free riders and in twenty four changed he was the only german to take heart in the newly created slope style competition at the winter olympics. until forgiveness in the course was already there and we could decide for ourselves how to write it it was up to us which tricks we wanted to perform or whether to spin left or right somersault or not it's

a really creative sport since. benedict soon felt the rules of the new impede freeskiing discipline was stifling his creativity so he set off by iceland and alaska to ski through for pristine untouched nature far from regular ski slopes . it was. special being up on top of a mountain all by yourself. you know that your descent will be a unique experience. like in alaska for example that was scary in terms of because these are mighty mountains after all but it's possible to use that fear and to tell yourself you'll give it a go anyway otherwise everyone will be free right so you know there's an element of fear involved sure. sons would say you know. i've
