House

The renovation project of House T2 focuses on creating spaces that harmoniously connect the interior and exterior, enhancing brightness and comfort. The interiors feature a light and natural color palette, with oak parquet that adds warmth and uniformity to the spaces, complemented by custom-made oak furniture. The spacious living-dining area opens onto the garden, where the white walls and surfaces create an elegant contrast with the warm tones of the wood and the ceramic tiles used in the bathroom, allowing natural light to take center stage.

The house is located on a rectangular plot in a residential area in the municipality of Santa Maria de Palautordera. The project consists of a house for a couple with two children, who want to build only part of the plot, leaving the maximum of free space as a garden, as they love to spend time outdoors. Pol Viladoms From the first sketches, the house has been conceived as a compact construction and at the same time permeable to the outside. The building is concentrated on the eastern and northern boundaries by means of two linear bodies: a two-storey volume containing the house program and a second, smaller building used as a parking and storage space. A series of light porches and lattices create a series of spaces that dissolve the... More

Clad in shiny corrugated galvalume, Pocket Laneway House rises up and over a carport, propped aloft partly by a v-configured steel column on helical piers. This structure’s eye-catching, treehouse-like massing is anything but arbitrary: by making minimal contact with the ground, the residence preserves the root health of a mature maple tree on this constrained site.  Birdhouse Media Birdhouse Media Birdhouse Media David Whittaker David Whittaker The owners are a travel writer and a recently retired buffalo rancher, with two young children at home and one older child living independently. The couple originally selected Weiss Architecture + Urbanism to design their Toronto home, which occupies the street-f... More

Weiss Architecture + Urbanism’s light-filled Shudell House imaginatively addresses aging-in-place design issues while negotiating the ‘bowling alley’ dimensions of typical residential lots in older parts of Toronto. David Whittaker Birdhouse Media David Whittaker Its owners are a travel writer and a retired buffalo rancher with two young children at home and one older child living independently. The couple wanted an easily adaptable home, suitable for their kids’ evolving stages of life and their own long-range needs. From the outset they knew they also wanted a laneway house that could at some point become a caregiver’s residence. (For information about this auxiliary dwelling, please see Weiss... More

The project involves the architectural and functional completion of an existing building located in a rural area of Fondi (LT), where, at the time of commissioning, the structure and laminated wood roof had already been built. Willem Pab The clients, a young family, requested the design of a single-family home with bright and fluid spaces that would reflect the needs of contemporary living. The challenge was to meet these needs while starting from a pre-existing structure with a layout and volume typical of conventional construction. Willem Pab The design strategy focused on targeted interventions by inserting new architectural elements that would disrupt the rigid original layout. Willem Pab From a floor plan perspective,...

The site is located on the mountainside with a view of the ridge in the distance, and the mountain terrain in the front with the sun behind gives off a bright and colorful light that allows people to feel nature intact. The first thought design team had when looked at the site was what would be the attitude of accepting nature as it is without damaging it, the attitude of living in nature, and what the architecture reflecting them looks like. The height difference of the site was more than two stories, and it accesses the road at the higher side, but the flat ground suitable for building a house was small. The site was barely big enough for a yard, and it was a hill. Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo Choi Jinbo C... More

When the client, with a concerned look, showed us a triangular plot of land recently removed from a greenbelt zone, we felt it was a fateful moment—the beginning of an adventure in a triangular world. Choi Jinbo To the young couple, expecting to build a home for themselves and their child, the land must have seemed insufficient and inconvenient. But we saw in it the potential to enjoy both city and nature at the fringe of the urban boundary. Choi Jinbo A triangular plot, given the same area, naturally has longer sides than a rectangular one. We saw an advantage in the fact that one of those long edges faced a 25-meter-wide road. The neighborhood itself had a Janus-like duality: to the north of the new road, sparse factori... More

Approached by a friend who represents a Minimal-window producer from Portugal, called PANORAMAH. We, were given the task of developing a sort of case study home, in the Murud region amidst a coconut grove.  The windows being super high-tech and modern in their presence were meant to disappear against the verdant view.   javiercallejas.com Caption Caption The plan evolved like a two headed worm, with the sleeping spaces in series and the higher main living and dining spaces flanking opposite ends of the series. The idea being, the tracing of a PARIKRAMA, a circum-ambulatory path, while moving from spaces, always in contact with the outside.  javiercallejas.com javiercallejas.com javiercallej... More

The building’s structure is composed of 5 volumes connected by a common allure. This is done to ensure maximum privacy for each family member: 8 people from different generations will live here at the same time. Caption Caption Caption The functionality of each volume is seen in the architectural design: the blocks with the cantilevered roofs, the characteristic of the Kerimov Architects signature, are for residential areas; and the flat ones are for the volumes of a common living room and SPA. Caption Caption Caption All viewpoints face the inner courtyard to hide from the c from prying eyes in a densely built villa community; and a forest. The entire logic of space and orientation of volumes is subord... More

Elegance, modernity and functionality shape the guiding axis that defined the remodeling of this main room with the aim of achieving a new sober and timeless space.

Wooden furniture finished in natural oak veneer, with decorative touches such as large mirrors, glass shelves and the headboard with upholstery of excellent design and manufacture. Soft, ambient lighting was chosen with a warm, dimmable color temperature and indirect lighting with LED strips in boxes. Other decor... More
