House LW27

In high class residential area, a large volume residence had to be constructed on a relatively small site. Next to a giant outdoor pool there was almost no space for a garden. So, the idea was to put the garden onto the roof and work close to the concept of a zero-seal house which means the sealed areas are given back to nature on the rooftop.

Dune House

Within the topography of Betty’s Bay, between mountain and ocean sits the Dune House. The natural ecology of this locale is sensitive, both to disturbances which have occurred over the past few decades through indiscriminate building practices and through the windswept local climate. This was the datum upon which this house grew, and the resultant decision made right from the beginning to create a building with two defining moments. Paris Brummer Paris Brummer Firstly, a distinctive roofscape was conceived to provide protection from the prevailing wind conditions, which during the summer months arrive strongly from the seaward aspect (SE) while in winter these come from over the mountain (NW). The curved apex of the roofsca... Mehr

INTERIOR 8

The interior architecture for this renovation where the unusual use of materials and the versatility of the spaces become protagonists thanks to a constant search for balance between strong shapes and discreet lines, natural materials and industrial products, bulky colors and soft hues. gariselli associati gariselli associati There are no primary or secondary spaces: each part of the house is designed following a rigorous functional and aesthetic research. Games of light, wings and false ceilings suggest the diversification of the environments that tend to never be hidden from view.

10 houses with minimal frames that invite the outside in

How does the structure optimize natural light? Does it provide unobstructed views? Are windows a medium to bridge the gap between the indoors and surrounding landscape? Any critical dialogue on residential architecture always mentions how the openings are designed to maximise comfort and views. This is where minimal frames shine through – by enabling large glazed windows with minimal (slender) profiles. Unlike traditional casement systems, glass becomes the primary component that is self-supporting and seamless. These windows blur the line between the interior spaces and the exterior, thus enhancing relations with the surrounding environment. Minimal frames are sleek, timeless, and made to embrace natural light, allowing their appli... Mehr
