Houses have tales to tell. The walls, garden or even a broken window can transport you back to a time when a small boy hit a sixer and dashed away before anyone could see him. People breathe life into the structure and are the heart and soul of the memories they create in it.
The Lineage House is a country home situated in Mirzapur, near Varanasi. It has large, open areas that make them ideal for multigenerational families who enjoy living together as well as enjoy entertaining people.
With a typical 5×20 plot, location on a new planning area with have a rapidly rate. We are fortunately to work with an inventor who has a similarity to a personal living space, a young couple with hobby of gardening and the desire to create a space “go inside” combined with human elements, light and tree are the main.
The spatial structure opens and closer with many small intersections, interspersed with gaps that evoke surprise and unpredictability when moving inside the building. Combined with the effects of the light and shadow, the scene is changed fresh and not boring through each time of the day.
We all dream of a house that looks like it just featured on the cover of ELLE DÉCOR. For this family, a couple in their fifties and their four children, this dream came true. After years of living in a standard property in the wife’s home village, the couple purchased a plot of land in a new neighborhood that overlooks a wild and breathtaking view. The couple hired the services of Sara and Nirit Frenkel, owners of Frenkel Architecture & Interior Design, who specialize in the planning of luxury villas and estates. The overarching aim was to finetune the family’s needs and create a rustic and understated property that would serve all its residents for the years to come.
The dwellers asked to transform the standardized condo house into a comfortable and spirit family home. With the possibility to design the backyard and also the interior plan, the space integration was the main idea for this project. The couple, with their children, looking forward to better ambients who prioritized the wellness of a thruelly home.
This duplex, designed by Hadas Roth and Shira Muskal of Halel Architecture, is unique in its unconventional bold design that combines industrial as well as country touches. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the old city of Jaffa and located near the seafront, this 260 sqm duplex was turned into a highly sought after luxury property and as such, its future owners fell in love with it and will be moving in the whitin near future.
The real-estate developers Tzemach Hamerman, Carasso Real Estate and Vlodinger Real Estate approached Halel Architects to plan, design and style the property. At that stage, since it was unknown who the property owners would be, there was a need to design the duplex in a way that would appeal to a multitude of needs. The process was indeed different, but it allowed the designers to run wild in a way that is not often possible when there is a specific client in the mix. The results speak for themselves.
Comprised of two houses with a mirrored plan, each of the homes responds to different urban conditions. To the east, the first house looks onto a narrow internal road, with neighbors in close proximity; the second house faces westward onto a high-traffic, main road as well as the hot western sun.
Both homes include a basement, ground floor, first floor, and rooftop. The basement area includes household services and a large multifunction room. On the ground floor, an L-shaped plan contains the house’s main functions, including the living room, dining room, office, and open kitchen all while enclosing an intimate garden and a pool. The main sleeping quarters are all located on the first floor, while occupants enjoy access to a terrace and gym on the roof.
Spiegel Aihara Workshop (SAW), has designed Wraparound House, an expansive architectural renovation and landscape of a 1930s home in the Marina neighborhood, for a couple with three children. The family was looking for more space to accommodate indoor and outdoor activities for the kids, places to work and entertain, and views of the Bay. The project was also an opportunity to remediate and stabilize the land beneath the home, and for the architects, a conceptual reconsideration of the notion of groundedness through re-distributing the excavated ground vertically.
In Japan, if you want to have a drink and meal, the best atmosphere is generally in an “izakaya”. Among most of them, the U-shaped izakaya can most highlight its characteristics: the chef or the boss is at the core of the layout, and the diners sit in the U-shaped bar table surrounding the center. Chef shows the freshness of the food and cooking skills in the centre, while diners dine and drink, ordering and getting the food with only one hand away, this is the closest communication between diners and diners, and between chef and diners. In recent years, there have also been Japanese dramas that use this type of U-shaped izakaya as the theme.
This 1,480 sf. house has been built on a lot of only 2,400 sf. in an area known as Sunset Terrace in Laguna Beach, California. It is anchored to the site by a helical form that allows the surrounding space, seemingly compressed, to pass through it.
The house is comprised of a ground floor living level and garage with a bedroom level perched on top. After a lengthy variance process, an existing masonry garage was incorporated into the design when permission to reuse it was granted by the city. There are roof decks on the second level where it is set back at the front and rear yards in accordance with the zoning requirements.
