Originally built in 1976, this Washington DC home was redesigned with large scale windows and cantilevered forms to capitalise on sunlight and views of the tree-lined property. When it came to cladding, Abodo Vulcan in a Teak coating was specified to further blend the home with its natural setting.Designed by architect Patrick Brian Jones, this home’s most prominent feature is the glazed living area, which floats over the garden, bringing the branches of the established surrounding trees almost within touching distance.This welcoming of the outside in is furthered by the use of clear vertical grained timber cladding, finished in a rich Teak tone that echoes the colours of the trees. Made from FSC® certified, thermally modified Ne... Altro

The inspirations for Baan Pomphet’s exterior design come from the quality of the site and its surrounding, namely an ancient monument “Pom Phet”. By “quality of the site”, it is meant the best location that overlooks a scenery where the “Pa Sak River” meets the “Chao Phraya River”. Water hyacinth normally float up and down these rivers and cover the entire surface of the water in summer mornings. What is special about this movement is the whirlpool where the two rivers meet. It is rare to find such scenery elsewhere. When we compose the layout of the buildings and all the decks including the riverfront deck, we are concerned about the view for all guests: how to share the best view as mu... Altro

Quando Champalimaud Design è stata invitata a rinnovare la residenza di Naples, una casa per le vacanze in Florida, l'obiettivo primario era quello di creare un rifugio rialzato e invitante per il cliente. Costruita qualche anno prima dal cliente stesso, la precedente iterazione della casa è stata dominata da una tavolozza di colori che ha funzionato contro se stessa. Se da un lato la proprietà conteneva elementi architettonici di inestimabile valore e carattere, dall'altro mancava un'armonia complessiva. Questo ha ispirato lo studio a creare una narrazione unitaria e singolare e a progettare una casa secondaria che sembrasse altrettanto formale e raffinata della loro residenza principale, ma funzionale per il loro stil...

Inspired from the sinuous curved forms and raw texture of the lunar landscape, the Moon House is part of a trilogy of three houses located in the northern tropical seaside state Goa in western India.   The design for the Moon House was inspired to bridge the feel of Tropical Modernist like Bawa with the fluid and dynamic lines like of ZahaHadid, so that the architecture of the house is constantly shifting and shaping between nature and space allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings.   Formed around a louvered courtyard of existing trees, the Moon House is defined by its subtle curved entrance and its black grey textured facade of local black slate stone. The fluid in-situ concrete steps contrast with the warmth of... Altro

Often when individuals see the contemporary homes of today, homeowners are mesmerized by the aesthetic, functional designs of the residence, and the latest trends. Yet there is an inkling that something that isn’t whole. Designers and their clientele often glance over the importance of staying grounded and being touch with one’s roots.   Traditional methods, materials, and design elements are often ignored to achieve a modern look.  However, Anubhuti, a residence designed by Envisage, takes the traditional designs, elements, textures and augments them in a modern residence for a South Indian family. The brief of this residence was to design a residence for a family of Kerala Iyers, and to create a space which would b... Altro

Casa Guayacán si trova ai piedi delle montagne di Nosara. La proprietà è circondata da foreste tropicali primarie e presenta una splendida vista sull'oceano.   Questa casa è stata progettata da una coppia di architetti (Evangelina Quesada e Lucca Spendlingwimmer), che hanno deciso di trasferirsi in montagna con le loro due figlie per godere della tranquillità che la montagna offre.   Casa Guayacán è stata concepita attraverso un profondo processo di discussione tra i due architetti, con idee e gusti a volte diversi, ma con il vantaggio che entrambi gli architetti sono amanti dell'architettura tropicale contemporanea e in questo senso si sono trovati d'accordo e sono stati in gra...
