CLIFF VILLA

Built into the base of a coastal cliff in Turkey, CLIFF VILLA is a 400 m² residence that treats architecture as a continuation of the landscape rather than an intrusion on it. Designed by NUTRO studio for a young couple seeking privacy and proximity to the sea, the three-bedroom home reveals itself gradually — first the rock, then the architecture emerging beneath its overhang. Caption Caption Caption Caption The façade balances two materials in dialogue: vertical pylons in natural Antolini stone and horizontal Corten steel roofing and canopies. The rust tone of the steel echoes the surrounding dry grasses and the cliffside, while the stone's veining visually ties the structure to the mountain itself.... More

Hilltop Residence

Villa on the Ridge: A Concrete and Glass Masterpiece Perched on the precipice of a dramatic hilltop, this villa project is a bold architectural statement carved into the raw, untamed landscape. It doesn't merely sit on the land; it emerges from it, a symphony of concrete and glass rising from ancient rock formations and a terrain of sweeping slopes. The design is a celebration of its breathtaking location, with every angle and every room meticulously oriented to drink in the spectacular, panoramic views of the valleys below and the hills that stretch to the horizon. Caption Caption This is not a home built for seclusion, but for immersion. The structure's powerful, geometric lines are softened by the fluidity of natural ligh... More

House by the Sea

An Italophile family - with a 1972 Fiat Cinquecento and season tickets to the opera in nearby Trieste - fulfils its dream of a house by the sea.

Rumah Biru

Anthony Adi   Planned at the start of the pandemic when lockdown started happening and when people should stay at home. The owner of Rumah Biru wanted to build a house where the residents would not feel the need to get out of the house for vacation. Inspired by the famous vacation destination, the owner wanted to feel like he lived in Santorini. The challenge was how to make a house what made in Greece still contextual within a residential area in a tropical climate city. The simplicity, whitewashed cubical form with rounded corners that Cycladic Houses have implemented for the house. But rather than using flat roofs for the extreme rain and hot weather that cycled through the year, the house constructed a steep roof that hides b... More

Orange Architects completes compact wooden vacation home with flexible interiors

Along the northern Dutch coast, on the Wadden Island Texel, Orange Architects designed a compact wooden retreat. The design is tailored to the way in which the clients want to spend their vacation. A place that breaks with daily routine and maximises the relationship with its green surroundings.

Villa Roses

Situated on the steep slope of the Costa Brava, the house offers on a living area of 335 m² a brilliant view to the gulf of Roses. When looking through the large window fronts, a landscape panorama unfolds, which reaches from the Mediterranean to the peaks of the Pyrenees. Like in front of a cinema screen, the residents look through a wide band of glass. Sky, sun and sea seem close enough to touch.On two floors, the holiday home nestles crescent-shaped on the steep slope. Widely projecting concrete ceilings and walls frame the glass facades. The upper floor jumps back in cascades and makes room for a large roof terrace which surrounds the house on three sides. Interior and exterior spaces interlock - the bay seems to be literally drawn... More
