The
Godiva Home was holistically built in Portugal, Europe in the year 2012. This
particular home was built by a company called Empty Space Architecture. Its exterior design is very unique because of
its shape. The home basically looks like a white box when look at from afar. “The high energy requirements to which this building is
exposed, led by the architect use of new construction technologies, associated
with the application of the latest techniques of alternative energy production,”
stated by View Pictures.
This is also another reason why the home is a lot different than
the typical home due its tremendous use of natural energy savings. Not only it
will save homeowners a lot of money on electricity, but it is also sustainable
for the environment. Godiva home is unique straight from the exterior all the
way down to its interior. The ten materials/products was used for this project
in the interior and exterior of this home has an achromatic scheme consist of (1)
exterior white walls, (2) white cabinets
in the kitchen, (3) white sofa, (4) black hardwood floors in the living room
with a (5) black entertainment center along with (6) white vanities, (7) a black
wall in the bathroom, (8) vintage pictures of celebrity legends..i.e. Marilyn
Monroe, (9) black tile flooring in bathroom, and (10) a very contemporary used
of space, furniture, floor plan and design. We don’t think this house is very useful
although it is very creative in the sense of interior design. The Godiva home
looks more like a bachelor’s pad, if not, more like a model home to people that
likes a little unique in their life. The home will not be ideal for families or
elders. It is very “bland” in terms of lacking a little color and lack of the
coziness of a home sweet home. It is definitely not ideal to raise children in
this bachelor’s pad. Hence, this home to us is a failed project for a family
home, but a complete success for singled men or singled women who’s looking to
host parties, and for the purpose of entertainment.

The architecture of the home lacks character. Its boxy shape is boring and bland. I appreciate the assessment of the blog writers that the the home is not suited for a family. I am curious if the home is owned by the Godiva Chocolate family. Miriam
This home is perfect for a celebrities' bachlor's pad! Would love to visist this house though.
The clean-cut industrial design, like Nina and Tracy wrote, is perfect for a non-familial individual, who likes this particular contemporary style. The use of black and white is very classic and I enjoy how the vintage artworks gives emphasis to that style.
I love that the house is sustanable. Although it does not sounds appealing to me because it lacks color, but it does seems like it has a vintige feeling to it which I do like.
I would love to see this house in person. I love the clean lines. I agree that it lacks the homey feel but I love it.
Beautiful how they used green design alongside aesthetics!
Very clean 'minimalism' design. Although I could never live in such a place, it is to be appreciated for its clean lines and modern architecture.
Very specious and artistic, so unique,I liked the color scheme, the style,the location; so clean, so clear and bright, the bathroom sink is amazing, the location of the house is fantastic.
Wow, this home looks amazing. Minimalistic but looks so cool. Great design and space.
