Green Edge House. Green Edge house takes his name by the hidden green edge around its perimeter.
A white rock garden filled with trees and shrubs between glazed rooms and floating windowless walls, lifted almost one meter from the ground. mA-style architects, Ryokuen No Su (Green Edge House), Fujieda, Sizuoka, Japan The green edge and the floating wall surround the house, connecting the space while showing an internal and external border by the use of glass, that also contributes to an openness sensation.

There was the building site on a gently sloping hill.It is land for sale by the lot made by recent land adjustment here.The land carries the mountains on its back in the north side and has the rich scenery which can overlook city in the south side.However, it was hard to feel the characteristic of the land because it was a residential area lined with houses here.Consideration to the privacy for the neighborhood was necessary in a design here because it was a residential area.

The green screen which is coved in front of building is very important function to explain for this design. This green screen are for the sun protection against inside room, and for one function of outer dinning which is healed in mind between July and the end of October. I mean that the former is one of thermal comfort adjusting, this is necessary to avoid too much expense for electric energy by Air condition. It is effective and contribute for global environment, somehow. Cso Arquitectura. The Vanke Sales House / AECOM.

The new Eco-Resort of Parque de Pedras Salgadas, Portugal, consists of a set of seven small houses in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
Designed by Luís Rebelo de Andrade and Diogo Aguiar in a modular prefabrication system but flexible to adapt to the specific places within the park, these houses result in several different combinations of the same three modules (entrance/bathing – living – sleeping). They are creating different morphologies and different dialogues with the surrounding nature, wisely occupying the empty spaces between large trees. Solar House Necessary #095. Selezionata per la Medaglia d'Oro all'Architettura Italiana (che sarà assegnata il 16 ottobre alla Triennale di Milano), la Casa Solare a Vens, in Valle d'Aosta, progettata dallo studio Albori, è realizzata in legno locale ed è energeticamente autosufficiente.
Per la struttura e le facciate è stato usato larice non trattato e non verniciato. La casa funziona unicamente a energia solare, che viene immagazzinata di giorno, grazie alle lastre di Pcm (Phase-change-material), e rilasciata di notte. Il tetto è rivestito di pannelli fotovoltaici che producono una quota aggiuntiva di energia per elettricità e acqua calda. Distribuita su tre piani, la pianta è disposta in modo che tutte le stanze affaccino sul lato sud, il più esposto alla luce del sole, dotato di grandi finestre. Gli altri lati hanno poche aperture, per preservare il calore. Roberta Mutti. Necessary #029. Eco-Sustainable House. Un’architettura può essere eco-sostenibile per diversi motivi.
Stacking green / Vo Trong Nghia + Daisuke Sanuki + Shunri Nishizawa. Architects: Vo Trong Nghia, Daisuke Sanuki, Shunri Nishizawa (Vo Trong Nghia Co., ltd.) Location: Saigon, Vietnam Photographers: Hiroyuki Oki Whoever wanders around Saigon, a chaotic city with the highest density of population in the world, can easily find flower-pots crampped and displayed here and there all around the streets.
This interesting custom has formed the amused character of Saigon over a long period of time and Saigonese love their life with a large variety of tropical plants and flowers in their balconies, courtyards and streets. The house, designed for a thirty-years-old couple and their mother, is a typical tube house constructed on the plot 4m wide and 20m deep. The front and back façades are entirely composed of layers of concrete planters cantilevered from two side walls.
Isay Weinfeld Designs Casa Grécia, São Paulo. Villa Vals. Architects CMA and SeARCH were focusing on the question if it would be possible to conceal a house in an Alpine slope while still exploiting the wonderful views and allowing light to enter the building when planing the Villa Vals. They decided to build a central patio into the steep incline to create a large facade with considerable potential for window openings. The viewing angle from the building is slightly inclined, giving a dramatic view of the beautiful mountains on the opposite side of the narrow valley. All images © Iwan Baan | Via: Endputin. A LOJA DESCOLADA DE ADRIANA BARRA — Referans. Na esquina da Alameda Franca com a Rua Haddock Lobo, nos Jardins, uma grande casa coberta por jardins verticais desperta a curiosidade de quem passa por ali. Ainda que a construção possa ser misteriosa para a maioria, os fashionistas de plantão já sabem: esse casarão surpreendente abriga a arrojada loja da estilista Adriana Barra, inaugurada em Setembro de 2009.
Com pouco mais de 350 m², o imóvel exibe uma arquitetura livre de excessos, onde as caixas de concreto e madeira criam um divertido jogo de contrastes com os painéis paisagísticos. Para promover a entrada de luz natural, fendas de vidro em posições estratégicas foram outra alternativa interessante usada no projeto arquitetônico. Além dos blocos anexos à construção original, o antigo casarão teve partes de sua estrutura restauradas, a exemplo do piso em perobinha e das grandes janelas em pinho-de-riga, madeiras atualmente em extinção.
