Nice Home Garden Patio & Wood Path Design Idea. Hempcrete House: World’s First Hemp & Paper-Walled Home. Hidden between the walls of this one-of-a-kind residence are piles of hemp, long touted as a sustainable material with many eco-friendly uses but rarely thought of as a building material. For this home, however, something special was required: the designer created it for his daughter, who has extreme chemical sensitivities that limited what could be used in its construction. Necessity, as they say, is the mother (or father) or invention. Mixed with other materials, the resulting ‘Hempcrete’ used by Push Design may be a bit misleading by name – it is not a structural substance, but rather an insulator and air purifier. Placed inside wall voids, it absorbs CO2, filters particulates and (like concrete) creates a barrier of thermal mass that helps regulate interior temperatures. Huge Tropical House: Super-Small Lot + Big Beach Home =

It is tough enough to find ocean view property to buy – but building a 4500 square-foot dream home on a 30 by 60 sf. property is even trickier, particularly with space left for a back patio, interior garden and various front-yard tropical plants to keep the site green around the edges. Broken lines and surfaces make the design dynamic on all fronts, both inside and out – a wood-and-white theme serving to further connect the interior and exterior, with linear wooden ceiling boards drawing one’s view ever outward. One would never guess from looking at it just how much it pushes the building envelope in terms of bordering homes, vertical restrictions and relatively small lot dimensions (for a structure of its size anyway).

Rockefeller Partners designed the building to maximize ocean views and open spaces, taking full advantage of landscape elements and lines of site to make the rooms seem as big as possible and have the outdoors always close at hand. Incredible Crafts Room Uses Cheap Space-Saving Solutions. Design is one thing – deployment is another. All of the ingenious storage and shelving in the world cannot help if the person utilizing them does not do so with forethought and intentionality, as this incredible space-saver craft room illustrates. Etsy seller Megan of? Crafty Intentions used off-the-shelf solutions like IKEA and Lowe’s wall shelves, flea-market find and standard-sized glass jars, lights and other economical products to piece together this elaborate-looking system for her home crafts area. Stored with a sense of immaculate organization are endless collections of beads, fabrics, yarns, ribbons and other material scraps, odds and ends … the list goes on, and all readily at hand for on-demand sewing and general crafting purposes, placed on dowels, suspended from strings in baskets, slotted into cabinet drawers, hung from the walls, laddered along -stepped-up, wall-mounted shelves and more.

Huge-Plot House Made of Multiple Modular Mini-Home Plans. Taking layout lessons from the mistakes of unplanned city development, this multi-unit housing complex is a unique attempt to combine genuine community spaces with private residences – custom-planned apartments with shared green space but room to breath as well, all on large plot of land. There is an organic way in which urban density leads to developments that may never have been designed for those living within them – from accidental single-family home-to-apartment adaptations to intentional but cookie-cutter stacked modular housing situations.

In India, Anagram Architects (images by Asim Waqif) has anticipated the paradigm and designed something to respond in advance of inevitable suburban sprawl on the edge of a major city. Like Frank Gehry’s now-infamous home remodel of his house in Santa Monica, this project truly looks like the conclusion of a set of experiments – design done over time – rather than a built-at-once piece of custom architecture. DIY LED Steps: Motion-Sensing Staircase Illuminates Itself. Falling Water, Revisited: Modern Green Pool-Cooled Home.

The Frank Lloyd Wright home featuring a flow-through waterfall may be the most recognizable residential design in modern history, but for all of its innovations its construction was extremely costly, not to mention the subsequent renovations required to hold its structure together over time. If that was the prototype for integrating moving water into houses, then this design may be one of the best executions of a contemporary, environmentally-integrated approach. Starting with water-shadow patterns cast upon the entry path, this overly austere minimalist structure is merely a backdrop for the complex interplay of architecture and water that defines this house from top to bottom, inside and out. Like the name of the firm itself (Wallflower – photos by Albert Lim), the building is almost secondary, a foil for natural processes, views and the actions that take place within it rather than a work of art in and of itself.

Edit this entry. Loft Bed turns Single-Floor Studio to Two-Level Apartment. The thought of loft-style sleeping may bring back childhood memories of kids’ bunk beds … but for urbanites in small not-quite-double-height apartments like this one in New York City, clever space-saving furniture designs like this one can also help make the most out of tiny-interior dwellings with low square-footage, narrow layouts and limited access to natural light.

A few simple white wall and ceiling/floor planes added by KSWA help divide spaces within this (essentially one-room) redesigned residence, creating an entrance passage – while providing enclosure from above and the side for part of the kitchen and a desk workspace below. The resulting small hall has a side ladder leading up to the bedroom. Also, by thickening the vertical-wall zone a hallway closet is created for much-needed additional storage as well as further structural support for the loft space above. The bedroom itself is a brilliant combination of cozy and open. Cozy Mix: Heavy Concrete Home, Flowing Green Roof Forms. If Wright and Le Corbusier were around today they might just agree that this home is the best of both Modernist worlds – combining the free-flowing Prairie Style interpretations of the former and the hard and linear Bauhaus concrete forms of the latter.

“Comfortable” and “concrete” rarely go together, but the balance out outward-looking, floor-to-ceiling windows, groomed landscape and surrounding forests help to offset the stark contemporary white, black and gray interiors. The whole structure sitting within a single story helps as well, making it feel more tied to the ground (and effect reinforced by green ramps and roofs). Whether or not A Cero directly borrowed these strategies from early Modernists is hard to say, but it seems to work regardless. So, would you feel at home in this house despite the extensive use of concrete, or is it still too minimalist for your tastes? Urban Outfitters. 1246 rue Sainte-Catherine O.
