Bark Architects have designed the Marcus Beach House, located on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia. Full description after the photos…. The Marcus Beach House by Bark Architects The Marcus Beach house celebrates a natural, coastal setting providing its occupants with an inextricable relationship to the landscape and sensitive surrounding environment.

The dwelling explores lightness, filtering natural breezes, layers of transparency and integrating indoor / outdoor spaces within dynamic patterns of light and shadow, being a simple frame to enable a contemporary sustainable lifestyle to unfold. Whilst feeling like a ‘beach house’ sited 250 meters away from Marcus Beach, the basic ‘pavilion’ plan was sketched out in the sand during an early site visit: a simple diagram of two pavilions placed either side of a venerable 100 year old Morton Bay Ash that takes centre stage to the scale, proportions and life of the house around it.

The Echo House by Kariouk Associates. Kariouk Associates have designed the Echo House in Ottawa, Canada; which involved renovating an existing 1924 Victorian-style house into an updated contemporary home. The Echo House by Kariouk Associates Task: To marry eighty-four years of history by integrating a contemporary, open and functional living space inside a 1924 landmark that overlooks the Rideau Canal.

Project Challenge: The starting point for this renovation was a modest Victorian home in poor condition, whose rooms with small windows and dark interior spaces were separated from one another, as was typical of homes built in an era when privacy was a cultural priority. In another gesture to Victorian public decorum, the arrangement of the existing interior spaces reinforced the antiquated ideal that work life and family life should be kept distinct.

Project Response: Echo: noun; “A sympathetic or identical response, as to sentiments expressed; a lingering trace or effect” Visit the website of Kariouk Associates – here. 1105dwell by Dwell Development.

Portuguese architects Castanheira & Bastai have designed the Adega Casa da Torre, a winery in Louro, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal. Full description after the photos…. Description of Adega Casa da Torre by Carlos Castanheira A winery is no longer what it used to be. I once knew wineries where cobwebs and dust, were the sign of time passing and of the times. Time was also, almost always, the sign of quality, as the wine that got preserved over time, at the time, was good wine, which got even better after being left there for a few years. Wineries are changing and they no longer have room for dust nor for cobwebs. The roof structure in laminated timber is a simple one, despite the four stanchions that emerge from each pillar, to support the roof trusses. Over the granite outdoor tank, sits the volume of the small office, both outside and inside, trying to connect the two spaces.

Some water sources that had been forgotten were again tapped into and used. Project: Winery Casa da Torre. The Scheider Chalet by tecARCHITECTURE. Elm & Willow House by Architects EAT. Melbourne office Architects EAT have completed an extension to a house in Canterbury, Australia, suspended above the ground on steel columns. Above photograph is by James Coombe Called Elm & Willow House, the project involved restoring the Edwardian house and building a u-shaped extension at the back. The concrete floor and roof slabs are supported above the ground to to avoid damaging the roots of mature elm and willow trees on the site. The structure encloses a courtyard around one of these trees, while sliding glass panels form a skin around the new rooms. Photographs are by Earl Carter except where stated otherwise. The following information is from the architects: This project involves restoration and alteration to the existing Edwardian house, and the demolition and construction at the rear for a new addition.

The two mature Elm and Willow became the constraints to the project. The structure is suspended over the ground to avoid damaging the critical root zones of the two trees.
