TOP 3 BEST DESIGNED UNDERGROUND SPACES IN AMERICA

“Underground” spaces that are extremely well designed are very rare. How can one renovate such a dark space so magnificently? Today I am going to show you the top three best-designed underground spaces in the United States.

The Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
Talk about a 5-star bunker. The Greenbrier was a bomb shelter created by the government at the Greenbrier hotel in 1961. Located 720 foot below, the former “Project Greek Island” comprises a 25-ton blast door, decontamination chambers, a hospital clinic, power plant, and a 6-month supply of food and pharmaceuticals. If you wanted the best place to stay under a nuclear attack this would be a living luxury resort.

Mansueto Library
Chicago, Illinois
The glass-paneled domed top of this University of Chicago library sticks out above ground. Students do need some natural light to study! Just below the glass dome is a five-story book depository. An automated system delivers any of the 3.5 million books in an average of 5 minutes. It’s basically a library run by robot librarians! There’s even a freezer set at negative 40 degrees to clean wet, moldy, or insect-infested books. This place is the coolest place to read!

Spa Terra
Napa, California
The Meritage Resort’s 9,000 square-feet spa is located in its “Estate Cave. This spa is filled with steam grottos, soaking pools, waterfalls, treatment rooms, and whirlpools located 40 foot below the hillside. This Mediterranean atmosphere is filled with mosaics, wrought-iron fixtures and earth tones.

INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKS OF THE WEEK

When you start to grow out of your newly wed home designer techniques you learn what sources make the most sense for your aesthetic. Today I am going to share with you a few book that will help inspire the growing home designer to hone there craft

The Good Life: Palm Springs
If you have a love for California inspired décor this is the book for you. California has rubbed off on me. The photographs by Nancy Baron bring so much inspiration to the viewers’ decor style. You would get the bright, airy vibe and with a touch of mid-century modern.

Tricia Guild: Pattern
Tricia Guild is known for her bold fabric, wallpaper designs, and an extraordinary sense of color and pattern. Adding pattern and color can create difference in a space, but it can also be intimidating. Following the success of her books on color, this richly hued coffee table book shares her skills with patterns. This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to add some more color to their life.

The Jonathan Adler Book: My Prescription For Anti-depressive Living
As the title suggests, this isn’t just a home book. It touches on the importance of mental health. Coming home should be an antidote to the troubles and traumas of everyday life. Do whatever makes you feel happy.

HIGH END INTERIOR DECORATION INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK: MOD STYLE

Short for “modernist,” Mod style can encapsulate anything from bright colors and streamlined furniture to bold graphic art and accessories.

Design is very cyclical from extravagance in the Baroque Era to minimalism today, we see trends come, go and come again.

If you are looking for something new and unconventional for your home the Mo-style is meant for you. This look comes from the ’60s and ’70s and the trend is coming back. What’s great about this aesthetic is you don’t have to totally transform your room you can pick mod-style accessories.

Take a look at the photo above for true mod-style inspired home ware. Read more about this look here.
