Exuberance-free, the home reflects Latvians’ reserved and modest nature. No element is purely decorative, so as not to take away from the rugged beauty of the landscape. Even elements like drains and gutters are hidden or replaced with a rain chain.  Alvis Rozenbergs Alvis Rozenbergs Latvian legislation does not permit newbuilds within the proximity of the coastline, however, it is possible to build on existing foundations. With this in mind Open AD’s clients purchased a coastal property with the idea of transforming it.  Alvis Rozenbergs Alvis Rozenbergs The property consisted of four mismatched buildings – the main house, a garage, shed and garden house. Open AD established how to preserve... Meer

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... Meer

A pavilion-style house informed by the ancient Latvian farmstead – the viensēta. Designed as a holiday home, the house encourages the owners’ connection to themselves, each other and the natural surroundings. It sits within a sparsely populated area of Gauja National Park in Latvia where passing wildlife is more common than humans. Nature entertains, inspires and provokes. Life doesn’t just take place indoors, it flows betweeen the exterior and interior with the terrace as a facilitator.  Alvis Rozenbergs Since traditional farmsteads have a yard bordered by the home and its outbuildings, we introduced a terraced garden in lieu of a functional barn and shed, which the owners didn’t need. The garden conceals... Meer

Archilovers Best Project winner.   Casa da Paz is a project which remodels the 1990s-built detached villa located adjacent to a golf course in the Algarve, Southern Portugal. The project overhauls an existing building to adapt it to the lifestyle of the current owners.  The request included an extension on the roof terrace to create a family room. In addition to the new room, the process began by thinking about the current spaces and how to make them more functional. Connection and Light The entrance hall was tight and dark and strangled by the volume of the kitchen. This space on its own was in need of a profound renovation.  A double-height area at the entrance was created to achieve an airy space and the kitchen was... Meer

The connecting continuous roofscape creates a new kind of interaction between the prescribed pitched roof typology and the desired typology of a holiday home.   Following the local building regulations, the volumes are provided with pitched roof, divided into 2 smaller volumes and then aligned to the slope in order to capture the lake view as much as possible. The volumes were then further divided into single volumes to create instead of the required holiday apartments holiday houses, all connected underground through circulation and garage areas. All units are accessible independently from the outside. In order to avoid an otherwise typical chalet-style small scale, the individual volumes are connected via a continuous roof surface.... Meer

Nestled in behind the sand dunes and bounded by a forest of ancient kānuka trees, this Kapiti Coast beach house favours privacy and shelter over sea views. The brief was to provide the best of indoor and outdoor living, hence the decision to position the house opening out onto a sheltered internal courtyard protected from the prevailing coastal winds. Clad in two contrasting cedar weatherboard profiles, the main house sits on one side of a glade of native trees, while a separate sleep-out provides protection and privacy from neighbours.To make your way onto the property, you must first gently push your way past the native trees to get to the front door. The owners intentionally made it this way: you move, the foliage stays where it is.The n... Meer

In a single enchated courtyard right behind the Museumsquartier (English: museum´s accommodation) we have resuscitated a small, romantic house of a coachman. Back then the coachman had to divide his small living area with the animal’s food chamber and his own space was also split up corresponding to the different functions of eating, sleeping, washing and living, so it was divided into smaller rooms again. One hundred years later we combine eating, sleeping and living in one central island of living. The bathroom, the kitchen and the storage are placed in a double function wall and are kept to a minimum. The result is: A small surface can get a huge room! Outside we put a small terrace on the top of the house and keep this in an elegant dre... Meer

Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson   A radical approach was required for this converted barn sited in open countryside. The aim was to create a house that sat naturally in the landscape with the appearance of a traditional agricultural building.   The previously poor conversion required a new build. We used the salvaged stonework and added two new wings and a swimming pool. A new build meant the standard of construction and insulation would be of the very highest standard and had the added benefit of being zero rated for VAT. Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson Jim Stephenson We had worked on the clients' London home and they were keen to have our design ideas for their new weekend and holiday house. The brief in... Meer

Everyone wants to escape the fast-paced, bustling city life at least for a few days once a year, and luxury retreats are the perfect way to do so. This family luxury holiday home designed by CAS in Riyadh, KSA is the perfect retreat from the urban-land. With a wide berth of nature and two segregated parts of the home – a family home and a guest house – the CAS team designed a luxurious and opulent theme that is engulfed with classic natural and landscaped elements. The interior design is vast and spacious, yet finished in cozy materials. The outdoors are sprawling in greenery, with just the right amount of artificial intervention. The overall design is truly welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. http://www.comelite-arch.com/portfolio/fam... Meer
