Situated in the village of Tskneti, in the eastern part of Georgia, the house is surrounded by lush almond gardens, mountain ranges, and a picturesque view of Tbilisi. The newly developed area has a low population density, making it a perfect refuge and an alternative to the bustling, polluted city center.
The site is faced with the street which, as one of the old Five Routes, used to be busy and crowded with many merchants and travelers. To the north of the house is a river running beyond a road. The location is blessed with a nice mountain view in the distance.
The building is designed to evoke an image of traditional house that draws attractiveness of the location, while embodying modern configuration at the same time.
In the far north of the Bregenzerwald lies the small community of Sulzberg on the ridge of the same-named mountain. We built a house on a steep slope in the middle of a densely built-up residential area, which makes perfect use of the limited plot of land. Due to the extreme slope, we have divided the spaces into three floors. You enter the house on the street side on the top level via a wide footbridge. Here you will find the garage, a small guest room and the spacious, open living room. Designed with maximum transparency and openness, it is only structured by the free-standing kitchen unit. The entire south front is glazed and, together with the terrace in front, celebrates the fantastic view over the Bregenzerwald to the high Vorarlberg mountains. The wide cantilevered roof panel provides protection from the weather and excessive sunlight.
In an urban context where adjoining houses are necessarily attached to each other at the side walls to form a linear succession of juxtaposed volumes, materials and heights, this project seeks to vindicate a different way of engaging with urban planning and approaching the potential forms of a single-family dwelling, as well as its relationship with its surroundings.
Located in Emigration Canyon just above Salt Lake City, this home designed for a young family celebrates a uniquely elevated canyon view with a rare and direct connection to nature. As a result, the homeowners enjoy framed views of the mountain vista at every turn, with unparalleled indoor/outdoor connections.
The home’s dramatic architecture is separated into two volumes that float above the landscape, each of which are finished with a blackened stain in the tradition of wabi sabi.
There are two houses in a quiet residential area with verdant greenery. One is my own house and the other is my sister-in-law`s family. While the two families wanted to live independently, they also wished to support one another and desired to establish a common space such as a garden and atelier to enjoy a lifestyle that allows for a sense of expansion that is difficult to achieve as a single household.
Framing existing conditions as opportunities, SHED Architecture & Design created a coherent family compound on the shores of Seattle’s Lake Washington in which an old and new structure speak to one another and the surrounding landscape via a design solution informed by restraint, material relationship, and attention to detail.
The main aim of the design and the client’s request was a future-oriented handling of materials and a building that was integrated into the environment.
A generous green roof as a cut-out and folded landscape forms the largest space-forming element of the house. The lightweight timber construction with a ventilated metal facade and large glass elements form the remaining outer skin surfaces. The intersection of the massive terrace plateau with the edge of the terrain forms only a partial adaptation to the topography, which is why the building stands out from the terrain on the north / west side.
The Skokie Valley Synagogue renovation transformed the sanctuary, built in 1963, from a dark and formal space to an ethereal, light-filled and ADA accessible room for communal prayer.
The original room was a long, dark hall with dim lighting and fixed theater-type seating. The renovation converted the large stage into new, modern bathrooms and a coat room.
‘Live in the lap of nature’. Every human mind wishes for it. We, architect at 3dor concepts were shown with a site literally in natures lap, in the foothills of lush western ghats in north Kerala. Site was also close to popular hill station Wayanad. The young client Binil Thomas wanted a single storeyed four bed house. He is a management professional working mostly in big Indian cities demands a peaceful space in the same piece of land where he spent his childhood living with his parents and siblings. His father was a successful farmer and they had already planted different kind of plants already in site.
