Almost atrial house - open house

A house project on a relatively small but extremely charming (at least from the east) plot located in Ruda Śląska. Working on the house project with the client, presenting various concepts in the form of a two-story house with a flat roof, we finally came to the conclusion that the ideal solution for the investor would be an atrium house. RESE Architekci Starting from the idea of ​​an atrium house, taking into account all the investor's requirements and the possibilities and parameters of the plot, an open house was created, open to both the internal terrace and the eastern part of the plot developed for a home garden with a view of the neighboring forest. Despite the very limited building area on the plot (limitation resulting from t... More

LIGHT HOUSE

The more than 1,000-square-metre plot on which we designed the "Light House," is located in a well-ordered enclave of single-family houses in the vicinity of Radomierzyce, near Wrocław. The magnificent mature tree stand gives the place a unique character, and the newly built houses shape the architectural quality of the estate, which has a modern character. The developer had a clear objective: to create a modern house that makes use of and blends in with the surrounding wooded landscape. JABRAARCHITECTS JABRAARCHITECTS JABRAARCHITECTS The design of the building is inscribed in the regularly square geometry of the plot. The body of the house is a two-storey layout, and the entrance has been placed centrally in the body of the... More

Hillside Modern

Modern forms create a striking visual against the rural landscape in our Hillside Modern. A key feature? It is built into the hillside, so from a front entry perspective, it is subdued or almost hidden.  JMAD JMAD JMAD JMAD The back is revealed as a stately, two-level space with a walkout basement overlooking a scenic wetland area. This creates spaces for our clients to host parties and have guests over.  JMAD JMAD JMAD JMAD We designed water features throughout for visual aesthetics – but audible comfort as well. So, if you’re working in your kitchen, you can open the window and hear the sound of water. JMAD JMAD JMAD JMAD The pool is elevated at main leve... More

Modern on the Prairie

We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random  arrangements made in some modern architecture.  Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Our Modern on the Prairie has the feel of a classical home with how the forms were arranged but is oh, so modern. We also designed the f... More

Modern European

Situated on a large, private lot with wooded areas and water views called for a home that would embrace the land. In our Modern European home, we wanted to capture the beautiful views of the setting. Architecturally, the sequence and the volume changes of the individual spaces make it more interesting as you approach the house and walk through it. The resulting Modern European home, with a nod to traditional English Tudor homes, does just that. Landmark Photography Landmark Photography Topo LLC It has the massing of an English Tudor, the steep roofs and that stately feel, but it’s stripped down from other details like timber framing and other ornamentation. Large black metal windows, some stretching almost floor to cei... More

Curves and Hues - A Sculpted Modern House in Minnesota

In the heart of Minnesota, where winters paint the landscape in hues of grey and white for months on end, a modern home challenges the monotony of the season. A sculpture for living, the home rises from the earth like a muted yellow, tapered drum, embracing both grace and boldness in its architectural design.Created for an extended family with an adventurous spirit and unafraid of a vibrant palette, this high-tech residence is a reaction to the cold, desolate winters of Minnesota, a winter refuge against the monotony of the grey and white, often dreary landscape. It is a canvas for color therapy, introducing warm reds, oranges, and yellows that fill the interior through stone and tile, rich wood wall panels, and exotic wood cabinets. Tim... More

Symmetrical house in Urk

An innovative, symmetrical home with a preserved foundation. Aesthetic and sustainable thanks to vibrant colors and a wooden skeleton structure. The project is a remarkable construction project that embodies the principles of simple and versatile solutions.

This has resulted in an innovative solution for the former bungalow, which initially had a limited first floor due to the shallow slope of the roof. 1:1 Architectuur The design concept is carefully tailored to the surroundings, with special attention given to the newly landscaped garden, swimming pool, and outbuildings. This has not only ensured functionality but als... More

Poli House

Our team’s main goal in developing the «Poli House» architectural project was to harmoniously blend the house's architecture with the surrounding environment. Stone, wood, and glass are the primary materials used in this house’s exterior and interior design. Andrii Shurpenkov The whole project of the house can be described as a small private complex consisting of three buildings - the main house, a guest house, and a gazebo. When designing, the Bezmirno team connected all zones into a common structure, in a single style. Andrii Shurpenkov The use of panoramic windows unites cutting off the barrier between the exterior and interior space, making it a single whole. Most of the rooms are oriented towards the... More

The Upper house

A Relaxing vibe was the driving thought behind the conceptualization of AA Urban Villas. The building itself was a mix used between a working space and a house. Lower levels are used for the work area where the owner works there. So the idea was to create a different surrounding resort feel like a house on the top floor. It was like coming home to a holiday home, a resort on a high cliff in Uluwatu, Bali. Ernest Theofilus Looking sunset on the pool deck in the afternoon. Makes the owner forget that they were living in the hustle-bustle of city life, after a hectic working hour. The land consists of 800m2. Inspired by resort villas, the building is separated into 2 blocks. Ernest Theofilus The front building consists of a Living,... More

Residence 18

Woonona House Studio

The project involves a new house and studio spaces for a sea-changing artist couple on a substantial yet narrow remnant site in the NSW south coast town of Woonona. It draws upon the typology of farmhouses that were prevalent in the area during early 19th century settlement of the town, embracing utilitarian qualities in construction methods and materials. Unlike the built pattern of the surrounding context, the proposal is comprised of a small 103 sqm plan that is organised into simply demarcated public and private zones within a low saw-tooth roof arrangement. The primary environmental sustainability initiative is in the provision of a modestly sized footprint that is responsibly small-scaled. This achieves an objective of 'compactness'... More
