Beach house

Ubicada en un terreno costero del litoral central de Chile, la casa se emplaza en una meseta orientada naturalmente hacia el sol y las vistas más atractivas sobre el Pacífico. Marcos Zegers Marcos Zegers Nuestros clientes deseaban aprovechar al máximo la vida al aire libre y por tanto uno de sus mayores deseos era que la casa les ofreciera distintas maneras de vivir el exterior. En esta línea, otras de sus prioridades era que la casa tuviera multitud de ambientes y patios; casi podríamos llamarlos “estados de ánimo”. Estos dos aspectos, unidos a las condiciones del lugar, dieron forma al volumen de la casa y sus diferentes espacios. Marcos Zegers Marcos Zegers La op... Más

A wooden house near the beach was renovated into the designer's residence and workplace, as well as a curry restaurant. Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake What I was conscious of while designing this house was about "mixed". I proceeded with the design while paying attention to the various mixes surrounding this house, such as usage, culture and nationality, time and space, town and house, work and life. Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake Yosuke Ohtake In designing, I thought that it would be possible to renew the mundane "multinational house" by understanding the roots and cultural background of my own once again and mixing the essence of foreign countries with traditional materials and techniques of this area.

La casa se plantea como un volumen de dos niveles que enfrenta la laguna y playa del condominio. El primer nivel, que contiene el acceso, estacionamientos y área privada de dormitorios, está visualmente por debajo de la cota del malecón y se expresa como un zócalo macizo de concreto que aflora del terreno. El segundo nivel, que contiene el área social y dormitorio principal, en contraste, se dispone como un elemento ligero que se posa sobre su basamento y se abre hacia el paisaje y el horizonte.  Juan Solano Juan Solano Juan Solano El diseño de la casa resuelve un ambicioso programa funcional de 8 dormitorios, concentrando los recorridos al centro del lote y planteando los espac...

We have designed a primary structure that serves as a retaining wall against the landslide on the terrain.

PAUL CREMOUX studio PAUL CREMOUX studio The modular wooden frames are equipped with mechanical panels that function as hurricane shutters, which can be adjusted by the user for ventilation and interior lighting control.

Kati Kaan is an off-the grid, self-sustainable beach house located at the National Biosphere Reserve of Sian Kaan in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo at the east of the Yucatan Peninsula. As an aisled location, it has to save, recycle as much as possible of water and to generate and store power from both, solar and wind generators. As part of the strict regulations for this site, the footprint of the house is limited to a tight land surface of the 100-meter beach-front plot, as up to 200 sq meters of construction and 8 meters above the highest dune are allowed.  Leo Espinosa As a response to the present conditions, the house is placed on stilts and behind the second dune, so the impact to the very sensitive vegetation is minimiz...

Después de ver cómo habíamos renovado y reformado la cabaña de playa de su amigo en el lago Burrill, en la costa sur de Nueva Gales del Sur, nuestros clientes nos pidieron que hiciéramos lo mismo con su "inusual" casa en la cercana playa de Mollymook. The Palm Co. Aunque la casa está situada en una parcela plana de 680m², a una manzana de la playa, la vivienda existente presentaba algunas dificultades. En el interior, la casa era oscura, con una comprometida planta de varios niveles que comprendía un dormitorio y medio y ninguna conexión real con el generoso jardín. Extraño sería una forma educada de describir la disposición. The Palm Co. La... Más

The Xihu Residence is based on two very important premises for its owner: to have all the internal comforts of a house through the use of technologies to seek the sustainability of the operation of the house. Caption Due to these two premises, the owner wanted to incorporate the use of a centralized HVAC system and optimize its operation by carrying out the construction of the project through the ICF system that provides the best possible insulation. In the same way, the chosen HVAC system is highly efficient, and the proposed windows are double-paneled in order to minimize the demand for the residence’s operating load. Caption The design combines all these needs with the use of different textures and materials that link t... Más

Sin exuberancia, la casa refleja el carácter reservado y modesto de los letones. Ningún elemento es puramente decorativo, para no desvirtuar la belleza salvaje del paisaje. Incluso elementos como desagües y canalones se ocultan o se sustituyen por una cadena de lluvia.  Alvis Rozenbergs Alvis Rozenbergs La legislación letona no permite la construcción de nuevos edificios cerca de la costa, pero es posible construir sobre los cimientos existentes. Con esto en mente, los clientes de Open AD compraron una propiedad costera con la idea de transformarla.  Alvis Rozenbergs Alvis Rozenbergs La propiedad constaba de cuatro edificios desiguales: la casa principal, un garaje, un coberti...

Perched on a bluff overlooking the water, this house on Long Island’s East End is a serene year-round retreat. Living spaces open outward toward the landscape, catching cool breezes and lapping waves in summer, and in winter orient inwards toward a cozy two-sided fireplace and warm wood paneling. Broad cantilevered overhangs create dramatic external rooms while providing additional shade from the summer sun. Albert Vecerka/Esto Albert Vecerka/Esto Albert Vecerka/Esto The house is contemporary but makes distinct reference to the modest early-modern dwellings that inspired the client. It settles into its natural environment, prioritizing new and old growth trees, outdoor living spaces, and views while using its low profi... Más

A modest wedge shaped parcel of land on the edge of a coastal bluff inspired a robust angular-shaped holiday home. Two long off form concrete pavilions follow the long edges of the site and meet at the site’s most prominent corner, rising up from the native landscape not unlike the natural sandstone escarpments in the locality. The concrete walls of both levels are articulated in their respective textures, and form humble backdrops to the surrounding landscape, both new and existing.  Brett Boardman Brett Boardman Internally the home is as comfortable and intimate for 2 as it is for 10 persons, with a range of separate living spaces to retreat to within the acute spaces (ocean side) of the plan. A roof terrace enables... Más

Since 1993 when Manuel, a journalist who loves rock music and opera almost as much as he loves social networks like Instagram, bought and moved into a 30-square-meter attic in Madrid's Lavapiés neighborhood, the configuration of the space had not been modified. Under a sloping roof of exposed wooden beams without any kind of insulation that made the attic a somewhat gloomy and unsustainable place, the house included two load-bearing walls that segregated it into three rooms (living-kitchen-dining room, bathroom, bedroom) and a semi-hidden and underused terrace. imagen subliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero) imagen subliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero) It was at the end of 2020, in th...
