The Rocky River Residence was conceived as an “upside down” house, with the main living areas situated on the upper level in order to capitalize on the site’s spectacular views of the downtown Austin skyline. The arrangement creates the feeling of living among the canopies of the surrounding native oak trees. Paul Finkel | Piston Design Paul Finkel | Piston Design From the street, the home looks like a typical single-story residence—an illusion created by building up the landscape into a gently-sloping berm. The exterior is clad in a rainscreen of fiber-cement panels; the base is wrapped in roughback limestone. Private spaces facing the street are screened by vertical aluminum louvers, which double as sola... More

This minimal apartment, designed by Gavinho Architecture and Interiors, is meant to portray the cultural symbiosis between the iconic graphics of the haystacks of Costa Nova, Ria de Aveiro, and its modern interpretation, resulting in a luminous space. Interior architecture plays a massive role in the redesign, using a linear play of walls and open spaces that entirely transform this holiday home into a unique environment. Shared social areas include the living room, kitchen, garden, and swimming pool, seemingly connecting as if in continuous flow. The notion of borders is lost when one realises that the interior extends to the outside through a glass enclosure designed to enjoy the heated pool 365 days a year. More

The house is 511m2 and the construction time is 2019-2020.  The central idea of ​​the house is based on the philosophy and principles of feng shui, as well as bioclimatic design. The central design is by four stone walls of different lengths which divide the house into three areas. Starting from the east ground floor, between the first two stone walls, we have the living room and the dining room and the office upstairs, looking at the double height of the living room. Three orthogonal frames of different shape and size made... More
