White walls enclose Casa La Hornilla by STC Arquitectos in Argentina

The project is named after its location in La Hornilla, a suburb of Alta Gracia. The single-storey home sits on a 20- by 50-metre property in the highlands, with views of both the city and the hills. Córdoba firm STC Arquitectos conceived the 168-square-metre home as a flexible building that could adapt to the client's daily needs. "The house can either be divided to remain isolated, connected to assemble, closed to ensure privacy, or open to enjoy the landscape and outdoor areas,” the architects said. The home is composed of a low-lying, rectangular box adjoined to a carport in the front and a covered terrace in the rear. The main volume's structure is made of brick and reinforced concrete.

Peter Pichler completes angular concrete-and-glass villa in Italian vineyard. The folded form of this villa, designed by Peter Pichler Architecture for the owners of a vineyard in South Tyrol, is intended to merge with the existing landscape and form a shield around its central courtyard.

Peter Pichler completes angular concrete-and-glass villa in Italian vineyard

The Milan-based studio won an invited competition in 2018 to design the property, which replaced an existing structure within the Kastelaz vineyard in the Termeno district in Italy. The estate's owners wanted to build a contemporary home on the elevated site, which enjoys spectacular views of the surrounding Alpine landscape. The design of the house responds to its setting, nestled among trees and vines and looking along the valley towards Lake Caldaro. "The geometry of the villa evolves from local site conditions," the studio said.

"It creates a flowing and harmonious transition with the landscape and is barely noticeable from the nearby village. " The angular structure appears to emerge from the earth of the hilltop, with its sloping walls connecting seamlessly with the roof. Remi Connolly-Taylor creates her own glass brick-walled London home. Designer Remi Connolly-Taylor has designed Maryland House in London, which features a glass brick enclosed staircase, as her own home and studio. Set at the end of a row of terraced houses in east London, the brick house was designed as a home that has a dedicated workspace for Connolly-Taylor, who is the founder of London studio Remi CT. "When I returned from New York, I noticed the current housing market didn't reflect my needs," Connolly-Taylor told Dezeen. "I started Remi CT in 2017 and like most young professionals, needed a space to work and create from home.

" "Maryland House's core concept was the desire to shine a light on other lifestyles in London as the traditional layout does not reflect the diversity of the city and functional homes are lacking for young professionals," she added. The home's functions are stacked vertically with two bedrooms located on the ground floor and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space placed in the basement.

Japanese studio Tatsuya Kawamoto + Associates has created a house in the city of Ichinomiya, Japan, with exaggerated eaves that shelter an outdoor living space and garden. The dwelling, named Imaise House, is situated on a private side road in a densely populated district. It is shortlisted in the urban house category of Dezeen Awards 2021. Imaise House is designed by Tatsuya Kawamoto + Associates with an overhanging roof that extends to the very limit of the site's boundary, which is formed by the edge of the road.

"We aim to get the maximum spatial volume by taking in the surrounding environment of the private road, where the front road is an individual property and planning a space in which the inside and outside are seamlessly continuous," explained studio founder Tatsuya Kawamoto. The studio's main objective when designing Imaise House was to achieve high earthquake resistance while creating large, open living spaces. Hidden House / Taller de Terreno.

A steep, timber-framed roof shelters this triangular home by Japanese practice Moriya and Partners, located on a cliff edge overlooking the sea in Yawatano, Japan. Responding to the client's request for "a view of the sea from the living room", the home, called Setoyama, has been shortlisted in the rural house category of Dezeen Awards 2021. The wood-clad upper level of the home houses a large, triangular living area and terrace, raised to create a vantage point for looking out at a nearby forest and the sea. A narrow kitchen sits alongside this space, and below a small bedroom sits within a long, thin concrete base that supports the home. The distinctive form of the building is designed to blend in with the surroundings, with its steeply sloping, asymmetric pitched roof informed by the precipitous drop of the cliff-edge.

A timber truss structure supports this geometric roof form, extending from steel columns on the concrete base to create a large overhang. Life in a mid-century masterpiece with Monica and Simon Siegel. There are mid-century homes, loved for their open plans, natural light levels and design efficiency, and then there are mid-century masterpiece homes, representing the most accomplished executions of modernism’s grown-up years. We’ve had the pleasure of selling a fair few in our time – remember Housden House? Or Ahm House? Or pretty much everything Peter Womersley put his name to. But what makes a home a masterpiece of the era? Well, Monica and Simon Siegel’s home in Nottinghamshire, designed by architect David Shelley in 1970, may have the last word on that.

It helps in no small part that, as the founder of Atomic Interiors, which has been specialising in contemporary furniture and lighting for almost 30 years, Simon knows a thing or two about how to fill the space, sympathetically matching the original fabric with classic design pieces, flea market finds and modernist furniture. Fox Johnston refreshes modernist SRG House in suburban Australia. Local studio Fox Johnston has renovated a heritage-listed modernist home near Sydney, stripping it back to an exposed concrete shell to create bright, open living spaces.

SRG House is a conversion of one of two semi-detached homes designed in 1972 and once the home of Australian modernist architect Sir Roy Grounds – from which it takes its name. Overlooking the Parramatta River in the Balmain suburbs, the 1970s building was based on a concept sketch by Sir Roy Grounds, which was then detailed by the architect and teacher at Sydney University, Stuart Whitelaw.
