Modern Private House in California

Visualization by 100CGI Studio of a modern private house in California for a private client. Eight views were built from 2D CAD drawings and delivered in ten days, with four rounds of revisions inside that window. The set carried both the pre-construction approval and the marketing material. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio The drawings were flat CAD, so everything a render sells had to be decided in the model: how afternoon light lands on the west elevation, what the stone reads like against the glass, how much planting the plot carries. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio What stretches a schedule is rarely the render time. It is the unanswered question: a cladding choice still open, a camera... More

House on Ljustero in the Stockholm Archipelago

Visualization by 100CGI Studio for a private client: a 360 tour and stills of an unbuilt house on Ljustero in the Stockholm archipelago. The tour has 87 camera positions, and six renders came with it, all delivered in 12 days. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio Selling off-plan runs on trust, and a floor plan builds none of it. Buyers here walked the interiors and the views of the pines before a single brick was laid. The interiors are deliberately spare, greys and blacks set against the forest, so the whole emotional argument rests on how the light from outside lands inside. 100CGI Studio 100CGI Studio A single unbuilt house is the quickest kind of tour to build. The model doubles as the render set, and th... More

Tajimi House

TAJIMI HOUSE is a two-story residence of reinforced concrete bearing-wall construction in Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. A large retaining wall stands close to the western side of the site, while expansive views open toward the other three directions. The design seeks to bring the surrounding landscape and distant mountain views into everyday life while maintaining a sense of privacy. Kohei Koishi Kohei Koishi Kohei Koishi To achieve this balance, the ground floor presents a quiet, enclosed facade toward the road, finished with natural timber.

Enebolig Rognervegen

The design of this house features two axis systems placed on top of each other; one orthogonal, the other radial and expanding from the center-point of the structure. This influences the projects level scheme, outdoor areas and the geometry of the construction. The house has well defined inner- and outer sides. The inner side is secluded and private, whilst the outer is more demarcating. The distinctive design makes for spatial variation and elongated lines of sight, offering the simultaneous experience of calm and complexity. Caption Caption The house is kept low in order to accommodate the historical neighboring barn. As a natural convergence point, the southward oriented front binds the other facades and functions into a unit... More

Enebolig Kystadåsen

This was the first tenant farm in this part of Trondheim. The small log cabin was moved here in 1740. The lot is situated in Byåsen in Trondheim, an area that through the last couple of decades has been characterized by densification, and which today is demographically diverse. Caption Caption Caption During disassembly the history of the old tenant farmer lot gradually revealed itself. The house was severely damaged and talks with the city’s cultural heritage manager pointed to demolition as a realistic option. This opened new possibilities. The guiding idea became to let the old serve as inspiration for the new; to transform rather than restore. Caption Caption Caption The main idea was to build... More

THREE VOLUMES IN THE LANDSCAPE

The 1,235 m² residence is arranged as three separate volumes linked by glazed galleries.

SNOB Architects SNOB Architects SNOB Architects This arrangement allows several generations of one family to live under the same roof while maintaining a degree of independence. The galleries connect the three buildings without merging their functions, providing sheltered passage between the living areas an... More

Sand House

Sand House is a private villa in Nad Al Sheba 1, Dubai, completed in 2024 and planned around its pool. A double-height colonnade shades the terrace along one side of the water, a covered outdoor room with dining in the shade sits at its end, and a timber lounge on strips of lawn faces the pool from the other side, so the cooler months are lived outside in rooms the house shelters. LKYOOB LKYOOB LKYOOB LKYOOB A bedroom opens through full-height glazing onto the same courtyard, and a passage of lit steps runs along one side of the house. The material language is the studio's: travertine paving and walls, dark timber soffits, and a black slatted screen that closes the far end of the pool against the palms. The house holds... More

Villa Anelli

Villa Anelli is a private Inhabitable Work by Fausto Ferrara on Lake Garda, a residential commission of more than 2,200 sqm for a high-level private client. The project does not treat the lake as a mere view, but as an active part of the architecture. Water, light, air and reflections enter into the construction of space, while the relationship between interior and exterior is articulated through thresholds, protected terraces and spatial sequences designed to preserve privacy, intimacy and a direct relationship with the landscape. Villa Anelli belongs to Ferrara’s research into the Inhabitable Work: the private house is not conceived as an object of representation or a display of status, but as a Work in which scale, construction a...

Listed Farmstead, Suffolk

Farm buildings are under threat in all parts of the world, more so than any other building type. It is not only the case that changing agricultural practices have rendered historic barns, granaries, pigsties, and cattle sheds redundant. Generally removed from population centres, they tend to escape the attention of building conservationists and developers and fall into disrepair. One way to address their decline is to reconceptualise them as museum pieces, inviting the public to step into life on a working farm inspired by a fixed point in history. Another is to inject new energy into their historic fabric with sensitive and appropriate change of use. Edmund Sumner Edmund Sumner Edmund Sumner Attracted by the beautiful lands... More
