Flood House by F9 ProductionsTuesday, January 7th, 2014Article source: F9 Productions This project started as a response to the repeated flood challenges of where the two principles (Alex Gore and Lance Cayko) went to college. The Fargo, North Dakota area floods almost every year and Alex has fought floods as a civilian and in the National Guard. During one of these outings Alex began to think about the ramifications of the dikes bursting and what would happen to all of the houses they were trying to save. These phenomena became increasingly threatening with the advent of hurricane Katrina, and the ongoing floods across the United States today. As a result Alex and Lance dove into designing a house that could withstand these forces.  Image Courtesy © F9 Productions
Villa in Děčín, Czech Republic by Studio phaTuesday, January 7th, 2014Article source: Studio pha The initial task was mainly to find the right location for a home (villa) on a large area, with its orientation providing views of the countryside and city. The house is situated on the edge of a natural divide in the landscape so that each floor is consistent with the land. The stone base supports each exaggerated conglomeration of rooms, which are partly cantilevered over the terrace and divided into parts for children and parents.  Image Courtesy © Tomáš Dittrich
