Diagonal House in La Jolla, California by Safdie Rabines ArchitectsWednesday, June 28th, 2017Article source: Safdie Rabines Architects Located on a steep hillside in La Jolla, this custom home floats above its site, carefully stepping down the slope to create large outdoor terraces while maximizing the home’s ocean views. The upper level consolidates the primary living spaces and master bedroom to one floor, with floor-to-ceiling glass and large skylights creating a light-filled penthouse suite. An angled glass wall divides the simple rectangular floor plate to create an invisible line between indoor and outdoor spaces, and a retractable wall creates the feeling of an open air pavilion with unobstructed views that extend for miles.

Proa House in Huelva, Spain by GÓmez & GOrshkova I Arquitectura y diseñoWednesday, June 28th, 2017Article source: GÓmez & GOrshkova I Arquitectura y diseño This recreational house is built on an old majada, as stone sheds are known in the Sierra de Aracena, auxiliary buildings that serve as pantry, chicken coop or for storing implements. It is for this reason that they are usually located on the edge of villages, closer to the rich orchards, like those bordering Cortelazor.

TRIM in Tokyo, Japan by Satoshi Kurosaki / APOLLO Architects & AssociatesWednesday, June 28th, 2017Article source: Satoshi Kurosaki / APOLLO Architects & Associates After inheriting the house that his father had built, the client originally considered tearing it down and rebuilding.

The renovation focused on interiors and appliances, while the exterior was left nearly untouched aside from the approach, windows, and doors.  Image Courtesy © Masao Nishikawa
Brick House in Brick Garden in PRUŠÁNKY, CZECH REPUBLIC by Jan ProksaSunday, June 25th, 2017Article source: Jan Proksa Traditional villages in the Southern Moravia region of the Czech Republic are characterized by their distinctive urban planning. The streets are lined with L-shaped row houses neighbouring each other on narrow rectangular plots, each with its own long and narrow backyard. A single multi-generational family home typically consists of three parts: the street-facing house inhabited by parents with their children, a home for the grandparents bordering on a courtyard, and the remaining lot to the rear of the property which was traditionally used for small-scale farming. In general, the front-facing houses are more spacious and feature more elaborate construction techniques. The façade, for example, the house’s public presentation to the neighbourhood, is plastered and coloured in light natural tones. The rear buildings, however, typically remain unplastered, as such a solution was an unnecessary expense. The use of exposed brick architecture for the rear buildings was a simple, durable, and cost-effective solution which nonetheless radiated familiarity and warmth.
