Fusing modern function and aesthetics with traditional Korean style, this stunning residence in Gangnam features a vast interior courtyard partially covered by a cantilevered roof.

The secret garden feel satisfies the needs of an owner who wanted fresh air and an open feel while maintaining privacy, making use of land reclaimed from a demolished structure. Meandering through the home is like getting lost on a wooded path, with interior spaces leading to the outside and back again. Ga on Jai Jouse by Iroje KHM Architects was built about twenty years ago for a housing expo in the city, and incorporates four traditional Korean architectural elements: the use of ‘ru’ pillars, the ‘madang’ inner court, the ‘cheoma’ cantilevered roof and the ‘doldam’ stone masonry wall.

The pillars raise part of that cantilevered black roof to provide scenic views of the mountains without sacrificing the sense of disconnectedness from the outside world.

Other Great Stories From Offgridquest.com: Život - Vesti - Zavirite u neobičnu kuću otpornu na cunami (FOTO) Izvor: Tanjug Arhitektonski biro "Designs Northwest Architects" napravio je "Cunami kuću" u SAD koja može da izdrži i najgore uslove u prirodi - jake vetrove, oluju, pa čak i cunami.

"Cunami kuća" izgrađena je u američkoj državi Vašington u regionu Kamano ostrva, koji je sklon čestim poplavama. Prizemlje nazvano "poplavna soba" je višenamenski prostor koji se može pohvaliti zidovima projektovanim da se razdvoje ako cunami pogodi kuću, ostavljajući na taj način konstruktivni integritet gornjih spratova netaknut. Taj objekat smešten na obali ima dva sprata plus potkrovlje, kao i temelje od 1,5 metara visine koji su projektovani da izdrže cunami talase velike brzine i snage.

Posledice vremenskih nepogoda u tom delu sveta mogu da budu pogubne. Glavni životni prostor se nalazi na drugom spratu, a pristupa mu se preko jakih čeličnih stepenica od savijenih ploča, prenosi portal "Građevinarstvo".

Okay, now that you've picked out what kind of real estate you want to live on, and also what type of home you would like to build, it's time to talk interiors.

Depending on what type of exterior you have, you still have all sorts of stylistic choices for how you will build. If you are working with traditional boxed surfaces like sheet rock, then that's commonplace in America, but may not be so common in places that build with earthen homes. If you build an earth home like cob, strawbale, ferro cement, or carved stone cave style, you can build your furniture into your walls and floors instead of buying or making it. Notice in the style below what looks to be a combination of wooden ceiling and ferro cement, the beautiful curvature that can be created. But I know many an architect and builders who try to accomplish this effect with sheet rock and wood. The effect can be accomplished, but the longevity of the construction is very short lived compared to the solid construction seen here.

Pocafarina Residence by Hidalgo Hartman. In the city of Girona, Spain, Barcelona – based architect Hidalgo Hartman designed this contemporary single family house. Description by Hidalgo Hartman The house is situated on a corner plot with some good views over the distant landscape.

In brief, the 2030 Challenge is a goal that all new and renovated buildings be carbon neutral by the year 2030. A number of strategies, from low-tech yet appropriate site design to high-tech photovoltaic collectors, were used to achieve that goal with this house. But what makes this home special is its design.

Burnham Design - Portfolio. Torus House: Curved Courtyard-Wrapping Urban Oasis. Privacy and green space can be hard to come by in the city – this house manages to feature both in spades, despite its central location in the Quang Ninh province of Vietnam.

Designed by Vo Trong Nghia Architects, a fundamental architectural gesture gives shape to the structure and space alike – an upward-spiraling stone building that forms around and within green gardens and roofs. From the architects: “Circulating flow runs around the courtyard and continues to the green roof, connecting all places in the house.

This courtyard and green roof compose a sequential garden, which creates a rich relationship between inside and outside the house.” The result is a series of rooms that look down on the central light well and garden area, or allow residents to walk right out into it or onto the tops of the boundary-defining walls, which are themselves grass roofs. Of the materials: “To create a wall with smooth curvature, cubic stones with a thickness of 10cm were carefully stacked. Futuristic water-recycling shower cuts bills by over $1,000. Swedish designer Mehrdad Mahdjoubi has developed a shower that recycles waterOrbSys Shower saves more than 90% water and 80% energy while you washIt could save users over $1000 a year and help people living in areas with a shortage of water (CNN) -- In space, astronauts go for years without a fresh supply of water.

Floating in a capsule in outer space they wash and drink from the same continuously recycled source. So why, asked Swedish industrial designer Mehrdad Mahdjoubi, do we not do the same on Earth? This was the concept behind the OrbSys Shower -- a high-tech purification system that recycles water while you wash. In the eyes of Mahdjoubi, we should start doing it now, before it becomes a necessity.

So how does it work? Similar to space showers, it works on a "closed loop system:" hot water falls from the tap to the drain and is instantly purified to drinking water standard and then pumped back out of the showerhead. OrbSys shower recycles water as you wash The closed loop system. Rner fridge for integration - Norcool. The Norcool Corner Fridge is the ultimate cooling appliance.
