Recreational farmhouse designed by Danish architecture studio NORRØN embraces Danish ruralism while bridging history and contemporary ways of living
This new recreational farmhouse designed by Danish architecture studio NORRØN embraces Danish ruralism and bridges history and contemporary ways of living. Coined around concepts of biodynamic food production, freely grazing animals and farm to table, the design evokes the region’s vernacular building tradition and inquisitively reinterprets the traditional Danish farmhouse.

Set in the countryside of rolling hills, the house is organized around a central patio that unites the wings of the building. With cut out gables that rise from the ground and tower the sky, the building stands on a four-legged structure with each leg incorporating an open gate through which the surrounding landscape can is seen. ...

Wrapped in a thick brick exterior, the building incorporates arched brick window openings along its elevations that lend a sense of rhythm. This sense of motion is enhanced by the form of the house, which ascends in a stepped motion as it rises from a single storey entrance to a three-storey tower form. Blackened bricks along one window edge are inserted to emphasize the overall sense of motion.
Behind the brick, structural concrete wall... More

Peponi Pine Lodge
Peponi Pine Lodge is a 4,000 square foot, 1 story residence with 6 car garage, located out in the piney woods of east Texas. The key to the design was to maximizing the natural light into the heart of the interior, as well as frame the beautiful views of the surrounding forest. This house is a testament to what can be done with cement-fiber lapped siding. If you really take the time and come up with great details, this material can be as nice as natural stone. The almost all white color scheme gives this home a cathedral-like quality, which stands out against the browns and greens of the trees. I know the homeowners are as happy as I am with the finished product. More

Casa Vale de Margem
Some houses are made to be looked at, others to be lived in, others again to be walked on.
Once a farmhouse, tucked into rural Algarve (Southern Portugal) and surrounded by the luscious vegetation of a natural reserve, is now a conceptual space tuned in with the land topography and flooded with light and air.
Roof therapy should be the next trend, crossing spacial boundaries is liberating, empowering, and challenging.
This’s probably why the roof of Casa Vale do Margem is walkable.
The entire house is about movement.
Stepping from one room to another is an escalation of geometrical perfection, the additional wing gave sinuosity to the structure and a long external retaining wall marked the transition betwe... More
