Latest Residential Designs Residential Architecture - latest properties added, arranged chronologically: Tucson Mountain Retreat, Arizona, USA - 21 May 2013 Design: DUST photo © Jeff Goldberg / Esto Elegant rammed earth house for Karen and David Francis whose primary residence is in San Diego. David grew up in Arizona so the Tucson Mountain Retreat and living in the desert are like a homecoming for him. B&N House, Madrid, Spain - 21 May 2013 Design: A-cero Architects photo from architects A-cero presents one of its latest projects of single – family detached house. It is a comprehensive reform of existing home whose owners found the need to reform both externally and internally to update its image. This is a magnificent home originally, but had charged over time both aesthetically and functionally needed a change. The work focuses on two points. Providing housing for renewed external image and create a modern interior full of light. Horizontal House, Konstancin, Poland - 21 May 2013 Design: 81WAW.PL Architecture Studio render : Michal Nowak Two architects from architecture studio 81.WAW.PL designed ground-floor house, which plan is based on letter “L” and has 250 square meters of usable area. House is equipped in everything what family of four would need to live in a comfortable and cozy way. Function was defined as a very legible one. To communicate inside, family members need to walk through a hallway located along a longer building wall. Elizabeth Beach House, New South Wales, Australia - 21 May 2013 Design: Bourne Blue Architecture photo from architect The site presents has a long boundary that abuts a nature reserve, immediately to the East. To the West is a steep hill with existing houses. The client required a house to suit a young, growing family, with provision to accommodate extended family from interstate. The house should take advantage of the site’s attributes, and crop out the less desirable views. House of Silence, Shiga, Japan - 21 May 2013 Design: FORM + Kouichi Kimura Architects photo : Kei Nakajima This house is austere and quite impenetrable - the facade materials give it a heavyweight appearance and there are minimal openings. You could say it is an unfriendly building, but inside there are a variety of strong interlocking spaces making for a dynamic introverted architecture. H3 House, Athens, Greece - 20 May 2013 Design: 314 Architecture Studio photo from architect Located on a plot of 7000m2 the total area of the house is 1000m2. The house was designed to give a sense of balance of the water element and the owners love for yachts, which after all was the inspiration for this project. The contact of the house and the artificial ponds that surround it, create a cooling sensation. House in Bozen, North Italy - 20 May 2013 Design: monovolume architecture+design photo © M&H Photostudio The project M2 is classified as a 'Klimahouse A' - an elegant contemporary residence up in the Italian Alps, with generous glazing to the obligatory pool. House in Sa Rapita, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain - 20 May 2013 Architect: CMV architects photograph from architects The project involves the construction of a detached house with two floors, garage and swimming pool. The living area is located on the ground floor. The main facade has the garage, the entrance and the kitchen area, which includes a laundry room, a pantry and a toilet. The courtyard, the dining area and the staircase leading to the first floor are located in the centre of the house. Fishing Lodge in Batak, Bulgaria - 18 May 2013 Design: Simon Gill Architects photo : Mike Daines The architect says “Our aim was to create an enchanted place that would resonate with the great natural beauty and rich culture of its location. We felt it essential that the house created a presence that connected both to the landscape and Bulgarian traditions, rather than just creating a mute abstract object standing as something ‘other’ in the landscape. And this included reducing the impact of the house on the surrounding environment as far as possible.” Glass House, Hampshire, England - 15 May 2013 Design: AR Design Studio photo : Martin Gardner The owner’s love of glass fuelled their brief to construct a beautifully simple sculptural glass staircase and a contemporary glass extension, situated at the rear of the property in the space created by the ‘C’ shape of the building, which would open itself up to the garden. Air Villa, Panama - 15 May 2013 Design: Haiko Cornelissen Architecten image from architect Haiko Cornelissen Architecten was asked to design a new generation vacation house in Cerro Azul, twenty minutes outside Panama City. Together with local architect Casis Arquitectos, the team created the greenest villa in Panama: a house that minimizes energy consumption while maximizing exposure to the wonders of the natural environment. Haus W, Frankfurt am Main, Germany - 14 May 2013 Design: Ian Shaw Architekten photo from architect This well crafted cuboid generates spectacular light. The development, constructed out of prefabricated high insulation timber panels and energy-efficient glazing, is articulated as a classic modernist intervention: a box set into a traditional pitched roof atop a standard three-storey house. La Selva Show Villa, Catalonia, Spain - 14 May 2013 Design: Studio RHE image from PGA Catalunya Overlooking the perfected landscape of the PGA golf course we described a simple arced line in the landscape. This line of local Catalan stone creates a strong visual and structural anchor throughout the site for the contemporary house design, as sculpture in the landscape. Three Glens Eco House, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland - 14 May 2013 Design: Mark Waghorn Architects photo from architect With the building process completed, Three Glens, the ultra modern eco farmhouse is finally a reality. Designed by Mark Waghorn Architects, Three Glens is a 450m2 five-bedroom farmhouse situated on a working farm near the village of Moniaive, South West Scotland. Its owners Mary and Neil Gourlay, are the third generation of the Gourlay family farming in the Cairn Valley. Matsushima Tree House, Miyagi, Japan - 9 May 2013 Design: Tree House Creations photo from architect A lot of the time for this project was spent peeling the bark off of the trees that were sourced for the development. Everybody involved was devoted to do this and complete the design. De Wet 34, Cape Town, South Africa - 7 May 2013 Design: SAOTA photo : Adam Letch The site is positioned in the heart of Bantry Bay in Cape Town, on the slopes of Lion’s Head overlooking the bay. The brief was to create a home with all the spectacle of an Atlantic Seaboard showpiece but also to respond to the practical needs of family life and to create a feeling of sanctuary. Brian Road House, Morningside, Johannesburg, South Africa - 29 Apr 2013 Design: Nico van der Meulen Architects photo from architect This 1960’s home, located in a prime area in a quiet cul-de sac of Johannesburg has been completely renovated. The glass wall between the living areas and the lanai folds completely away to create one huge living space, with the second lounge area leading onto the garden, and the dining opening onto the moat. Casa Bunker, Buenos Aires, Argentina - 25 Apr 2013 Design: Botteri-Connell Office photo : Gustavo Sosa Pinilla The house has been built in a suburban neighbourhood and has been thought for someone who will live there permanently and whose children, friends and couple will visit them from time to time. The Phoenix House, Arizona, USA - 24 Apr 2013 Design: Messana O'Rorke image from architect This vast and strikingly beautiful desert landscape is the inspiration for the design. The tectonic mechanisms responsible for the landscape, where mountain ranges seem to slide past each other, is emulated by massive parallel walls of the house. Contemporary House in Johannesburg , South Africa - 15 Apr 2013 Design: Nico van der Meulen Architects photo from architect Another luxury contemporary South African house by this architecture practice: as a result of an impeccable renovation, the house is divided into public and private spaces. To enter the private areas of the home, one must cross a bridge above a new internal water feature which breaks the public and private spaces, separating the entrance hall and study from the private home. House in Muko, Kyoto, Japan - 1 Apr 2013 Design: Fujiwara Architects photo : Yano Toshiyuki A mezzanine-floored residence consisting of a single-roomed space, located on a fan-shaped site. The movements of the sun can be felt inside the house all throughout the year. Light coming from the east strikes the louvered boards before entering the house and reaching deep into its interior. New Residence in South Africa Design: SAOTA - Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects photo : SAOTA 7 Dec 2012 - The clients requested a 6-bedroomed family home with understated elegance and quiet grandeur, indoor / outdoor living spaces and uninterrupted views, with a ”lived-in beach-house” feel. The beach-front site is subject to hot summers and moderate winters, with a cooling on-shore breeze, from the North East. New House in Alicante Design: Fran Silvestre Arquitectos photograph : Diego Opazo 19 Nov 2012 - Another modern white coloured residence looking out over the sea, but this residence doesn't follow the normal rules. There is a curious schism in the middle of the property (see the photo above) between hovering volume and terraced outdoor space. Also the proportions are highly unusual, with the 'observatory rectangle' looking out over the Mediterranean giving the feeling of being rather squashed. New House in Stuttgart Architect: UNStudio image © Iwan Baan 26 Oct 2012 - The Haus am Weinberg is located in a setting that is at one time rural, yet suburban. The location of the villa affords pastoral views of the stepped terraces of an ancient hillside vineyard on one side and cityscape vistas on the other. The inner circulation, organisation of the views and the programme distribution of the property are determined by a single gesture, ‘the twist’. In the Haus am Weinberg the central twist element supports the main staircase as it guides and organises the main flows through the home. New House in São Paulo Architecture: studio mk27 - marcio kogan + renata furlanetto. Interiors: studio mk27 - diana radomysler photograph : Nelson Kon 11 Aug 2012 - With each new project contemporary architecture is forced to optimize spaces and use the maximum of each square meter of the site. V4 House is a rare anti-example. Its occupation of the land is very far from the maximum coefficient. Laws allow for much larger constructions. The solution adopted, however, dialogues with the dimension of the site, formulating an adequate relation between the scale of the construction and the site. Key New Residence from 2012 New House at Zimmerberg, Switzerland - added 12 Feb Design: Rossetti + Wyss Architekten photo © Juerg Zimmermann, Zurich The one-story property, which has impressive diagonal views of Lake Zurich and the Alps, is situated on the upper edge of the village, on a longish, slightly sloping site. The construction is defined by a guide wall and angular concrete wall establishing the diagonal panorama towards the lake. The differentiated composition of horizontal and vertical elements confers a sculptural quality to the protective structure.
