Shakin Stevens House by Matt Gibson Architecture + Design. Matt Gibson Architecture + Design have designed the Shakin Stevens House in Melbourne, Australia. Description from Matt Gibson Architecture + Design The conceptual drive for the interior of this house is largely in response to a brief which crystallised into a need to be connected with ‘green’ space. Beyond the heritage front the project wanted to not necessarily increase floor area but to increase amenity.
To make spaces feel bigger, more functional, to be light filled, and to visually extend & borrow from within and beyond the site. Architects: Matt Gibson Architecture + Design. Dihedral House by Arch11. Arch11 have designed the Dihedral House for a young family in Boulder, Colorado. Description from Arch11 This modern urban house is anchored on a downtown corner site. An all glass living room Site-cast, board-formed concrete walls moor the building to its site, while providing thermal mass to control temperature swings. The house is organized around crossing dihedral lines, one phenomenal, one tectonic that shear the interior volumes of the house. The building was delivered as a fast-track, design-build with Hammerwell inc. Design: Arch11. Peaks View Residence by Carney Logan Burke Architects. Carney Logan Burke Architects have designed the Peaks View Residence in Wilson, Wyoming. Description from Carney Logan Burke Architects The Peaks View residence is sited near Wilson, Wyoming, in a grassy meadow, adjacent to the Teton mountain range.
The design solution for the project had to satisfy two conflicting goals: the finished project must fit seamlessly into a neighborhood with distinctly conservative design guidelines while satisfying the owners desire to create a unique home with roots in the modern idiom. Within these constraints, the architect created an assemblage of building volumes to break down the scale of the 6,500 square foot program. A pair of two-story gabled structures present a traditional face to the neighborhood, while the single-story living pavilion, with its expansive shed roof, tilts up to recognize views and capture daylight for the primary living spaces. Display for a Kimono was deliberately incorporated into the entry sequence.

Description from Rural Design This project incorporates the ruins of a former mill. Combining the old walls with the new constructions and insertions in the fabric, it is intended to clearly articulate the modern additions set against the solid stone walls of the mill. The internal courtyard has become the focus for the house, and all internal rooms on the ground floor have a direct relationship into this enjoyable south-facing garden overlooking a burn. A new bedroom tower allows views over the wider surrounding landscape. Architecture: Rural Design Photography: Andrew Lee. The SPLIT House by Superkül. Superkül Inc Architect have been given a 2012 Design Excellence award by the Ontario Association of Architects for their work on the SPLIT house in Toronto, Canada.
Description from the architect: Split in plan and section, the parti of the house allows for a flood of light to the centre. The house is designed as space for spectacle – the owner is a regular host of a large network of friends and family, and wanted a place that could feel grand. The trick with this was to make a house that could also feel intimate for day to day living. A rich brown wood floor that connects with the ipe deck outside serves as a counterpoint to the high ceilings of the main space, and connects the inside to the outside.

The Pierre. Vacker villa av Young & Young I Franklin, Michigan ligger villan här ovan. Jag vet rätt lite om den vackra villan men jag vet att den är ritad av Young & Young Architects och helt och hållet konstruerad av insulating concrete forms, som är frigolitformar fyllda med cement som både är starka och isolerar väl. Young & Young Architects jobbar med det de kallar “orcanic architecture”och är medlem av The U.S. Green Building Council så valet av ett energisnålt byggmaterial som insulating conrete forms känns rätt logiskt.

Architect: Colizza Bruni Architecture Inc. / James Colizza & Anthony Bruni Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Project Area: 111 sqm Project Year: 2008 Photographs: Peter Fritz Front to back infill is an animated, front to back semi-detached which boasts two small yet spacious light-filled homes. The design was a collaboration of two architects, each designing one of the homes, and working together to fuse the two designs seamlessly into one another.
The approach was to situate the two homes front to back instead of the traditional side to side. One home would face the street and engage the public realm, while the other would inhabit the private realm of the rear yard. Each unit is designed to take advantage of its exclusive position on the site resulting in two unique homes with their own distinctive character and personality. The challenge for this project was to design two small and affordable homes for two separate owners on a narrow 25’ x 80’ lot slotted between existing houses. Ber House by Nico van der Meulen Architects.
By Sophie • Aug 24, 2012 • Selected Work Nico van der Meulen Architects designed this contemporary home for a family in Midrand, South Africa. In addition to an open floor plan and koi pond, the house features a steel facade inspired by the client’s desire for security bars. Ber House by Nico van der Meulen Architects: “The clients requested a contemporary, iconic house without unnecessary rooms, open plan and airy. Werner van der Meulen of Nico van der Meulen Architects designed the house as a simple rectangular shape with the living rooms in the centre and surrounded by a koi pond and pool.
The kitchen is enclosed with frame-less doors which opens up to the lanai area that faces the garden on the east. A bridge crosses over the living room and connects the pyjama lounge and children’s bedrooms with the main suite. M Square Lifestyle Design selected the random patterns evident on the steel facade as inspiration for the interior design. The Contemporary Hillside House by SB Architects.

Country House / DVA ARHITEKTA. Architects: DVA ARHITEKTA Location: Bijaca, Bosnia and Herzegovina Design Team: Tomislav Ćurković / Zoran Zidarić Collaborator: Cvjetka Peronja, m.arch Project Manager: Haris Mahić Project year: 2007 Completion year: 2011 Site Area: 35,000 sqm Total floor area: 950 sqm Photographs: Robert Leš The approach of the proposal was to develop a residential complex in strong connection to the context.
Located in a remote, poorly inhabitated part of West Herzegovina canton, the site stretches over 35 000 square meters of wild landscape, bounded by strong stone walls. The ambient relies on tradition, where places like this provided social contact and events. All three units, six buildings alltogether, are carefully placed to gain views according to client’s wishes. Further along, the terrain climbs steeply towards the highest point where main unit is found. The main unit contains the house for the owner, guest house and summer house with vine cellar and place for barbecueing. Tuskanac Residence / DVA Arhitekta. Architects: DVA Arhitekta - Tomislav Curkovic / Zoran Zidaric Location: Zagreb, Croatia Client: Private Collaborator: Barbara Vukovic, m.arch Completion: 2010 Site area: 1,300 sqm Total floor area: 590 sqm Photographs: Robert Les Located in residential part of town, characterized by family houses of strictly defined volumes, site and garden measurements.
The urbanisation of this part of town was finished by the end of last century, and each new building represents interpolation in already formed urban structure. Besides that, the programme of the project demanded, and the law allowed, much larger house than the neighbouring ones. In order to fulfill all the demands and respect genius loci at the same time, a house consisted of two volumes was designed; one visible to the street view and the other hidden from it but visible from the garden. The upper volume comprises daily life spaces while the lower contains additional facillities (guest accomodation, leisure). Zoersel-house - Interieurarchitecten - Arjaan De Feyter. In notion to Bauhaus this steel house was originally designed as a prototype in 1969 that could be erected elsewhere on the still largely empty residential estate.
The original plans show a villa with steel skeleton and a half-open ground floor that reminds us of the Villa Savoye, with its central core and industrial materials. The steel skeleton forms a perfect grid of nine squares two storey’s high. The domestic functions were clustered in the nine squares on upper floor, and on the ground floor filled two of them with an entrance hall, a staircase and a storeroom – the rest formed a sort of open carport.
This intention of reproduction on a large scale did not come true, however the surrounding landscape, at that time still almost unspoiled, has in the meantime been covered in homes in the ‘fake-farmhouse-style’ and the steel house, built as a Case-Study house, stayed on its own and has been converted and extended unrecognizably. Architecture. Imagine the renovation dilemmas. A huge penthouse of a converted 1930s office building in TriBeCa, New York, is to be turned into a functioning home for a family with three teenagers. In fact, we can not quite imagine the issues that faced Steven Harris Architects when the family showed up, literally, at the doorstep of the celebrated architect and asked if he’d like to work on their home.
Harris said yes and proceeded to make his magic. The scale of the apartment is huge and the freedom from budget constraints allowed for some spectacular solutions. Harris’s work is often distinguished by clarity and light, by the use of glass, by the maximization of views and, above all, bold solutions. All of those are evident in this project. The most frequently used areas of the apartment – kitchen, master bedroom, rooftop gym, even the laundry room – have the best views, including those of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and many of the city’s significant landmarks. 021.jpg (714×476)
