Archipelago House, photo by Åke E:son Lindman The Stockholm based Tham & Videgård Arkitekter realised this summerhouse located in the dramatic countryside of Stockholm’s outer archipelago. The building’s design is amongst others arises from the specific conditions prevailing on the island: Without any car-connections, all materials had to be brought by boat from the mainland. Therefore wood was chosen throughout the design in order to provide simplicity of construction and to minimize difficulties with heavy transportation. “The horizontal character of the black-stained exterior relates to the verticality of the island’s tall pines, and mirrored views of the Baltic Sea.

In order to meet this demand as well as to enable the residents to feel a sense of spaciousness in the rather small 360 square meter corner lot tightly flanked on two sides by neighboring houses, the long applied concept of “Interface” was again used here. A brief explanation of Interface is in order. Over the years, the practice of “borrowing the landscape” has been prevalent in Japan as a way of life.

When we got a tiny glimpse of Peaches' home last year in a house call , we knew that we needed to see more. Her home has an undeniable sense of happiness and fun. She has a knack for making beautiful objects out of unusual materials, and those who read Peaches' blog have long known the kind of whimsy and charm her many DIY projects possess. Now we get to see how they all fit together to make a wonderfully charming home. More

Arkitektritat hus av Claesson Koivisto Rune AH#001 - 2-plan
I denna modernistiska lada smälter ditt hem samman med den omgivande naturen. Den utsuddade gränsen mellan inne och ute ger en enorm känsla av rymd och tar tillvara varje sekund av det många av oss värderar som mest – ljuset. Det är lätt att se AH#001 vid havet eller med en äppelträdgård på Österlen som närmaste granne. Men omgivningen behöver inte vara grandios för att huset ska komma till sin rätt. Att känna dofterna från sin trädgård in i köket eller att stå klistrad mot rutorna och titta ut när det blåser snöstorm är storslaget i sig. AH#001 är ett mycket praktiskt hus och ytmässigt effektivt, mycket tack vare trappans centrala och avgränsande placering mellan kök och vardagsrum.
Big Dig House / Single Speed Design | ArchDaily the best of Architecture
The Big Dig is the most expensive highway project in the history of the US. The project included rerouting the Central Artery into a tunnel under the heart of Boston, requiring a tremendous engineering work due to underlaying metro lines and pipes and utility lines that would have to be replaced or moved. Tunnel workers encountered many unexpected geological and archaeological barriers, ranging from glacial debris to foundations of buried houses and a number of sunken ships lying within the reclaimed land.Nestled among the Forest Hill neighborhood in Toronto, Paul Raff Studio ‘s latest sustainable residence is “a marriage of environmentally responsible building strategies and elegant architectural composition.” The 353m2 residence, entitled the Cascade House , is designed in an I-formation around an outdoor swimming pool and offers a high quality of aesthetics in addition to environmentally friendly strategies. ”The design is shaped around the concept of making visible the architecture as interface between habitation and landscape,” explained the architect. The specific orientation of the house and its tall windows is designed to maximize its potential for natural light.
