Located in the countryside of Campinas, Brazil, the residence stands on the site as a glider that is just about to touchdown.
Surrounded by a preserved forest, the house is designed with steel structure to minimize construction impact on the environment.
The use of wide openings allows nature to enter, stretching the boundaries of the built space. Extended glass surface brings an extra dimension by reflecting the outside during the day and inside at night.
This house is developed on an ascending lot, west of Monterrey in the foothills of Sierra Madre. The service areas are on the access floor, the garden and the social area that integrates with the #terrazatequilera® are on the ground floor achieving a connection with the exterior, and the family area is on the top floor.

It could not be otherwise, it had to be the project’s star.
We think of a house that accompanies, without competing.
We work with the orientations and the location of the tree to connect them and ensure that they live respecting and empowering each other.
A harmonic volume, all on the ground floor. The facade with simple morphologies and contrasts of materialities.
The idea was always to highlight the carob tree, but we could not leave it alone, so we combine materials and refine the details in each element that made up this composition.
The project is site on a hill, address towards the Adamello’s Mountain and the Iseo lake, with a view that it opens on the Natural Reservation of the Sebino’s peat bog. The house defines its own occupying modality starting from two innovative elements: the connection with the ground and the relationship with the landscape. The intention is to realize exemplar architecture in relation with the contemporary domestic idea.
The main objective of this housing project is the privacy and its integration in the environment. The horizontal volume is oriented by the views and sun path.
The project aims to develop the maximum facade length by occupying the whole plot from north to south that gives the house a sensation of great horizontal size.
VanOmmeren-architecten won the tender for the redevelopment of the Vijverkerk plot (Bloemendaal, NL) commissioned by Wibaut.
A design for a three story dwelling building was proposed. In close collaboration with the neighborhood and the client an integrated design for 8 luxury apartments is made.
The relationship between inside and outside of the dwelling is directly inspired by the typology of villas in the neighbourhood. These houses are typically accessed from the side of the building, while parking is behind. Therefore the street façade is representative, free of parking, while remaining a green character. The ground floor dwellings offer a garden. Dwellings on the first floor accommodate a loggia, and the top floor dwellings offer a roof terrace. This composition diminishes volume when gaining height, while opening up space for urban green.
Housing implanted on a plot of 112m2, with a single front facing the street of 5.77m wide.
The house is articulated by superimposing linear stairs located parallel to the left mediator, which give access to each of the floors.
The house is developed on three levels. On the ground floor is the entrance hall and a large area initially intended for parking. On the first floor are the day stays and service areas (kitchen, toilet, laundry room), while the second floor houses the bedrooms.
When the new purple sky train line which connects from the north of Bangkok to the west outbound of the city was opened, it has affected the development along the railway probably. The many estates have been established typically. However, one couple had decided to settle their house on 10×10 meters land approximately where it is not far from the Bangson station instead of being to be a high ground tribe as typical.
First of all, the main condition was how to manage a small land regarding the building control, 1meters and 2metters at the front of the house was set back for example, with any conditions from the regulation, the requirement from the client had been revised before the project got started after that the programs from the client have been considered and recomposed to the appropriated hierarchy through the three stores.
The Bamboo Veil House is a semi-detached house that sits on a bend in a street, resulting in a triangular plot with a narrow frontage. The original house was purchased by the owner many years ago and only minimal renovation had been done since then. The ageing house needed upgrading and the time had come for a re-build to fulfil long held desires and preferences.
The owner started with simple brief – a minimalist tropical house with a wide social space on the ground floor for family and friends to gather. His family longed for a private yet modern tropical home that responds to Singapore’s dense urban environment and tropical climate. He had also amassed a large collection of art through the years from various continents and saw this as an opportunity to well display them in the new house.
Since the 50ies, Sardinia’s North Shore is characterized by moor inspired architecture for sea villas, with organic and round shapes that climaxed into Couelle’s Costa Smeralda villas and Dante Bini’s Shell in Costa Paradiso.
The older villas present an old internal distribution, that can’t satisfy the need of a young modern couple.
That’s why domECO studio decided to sedign a project focused on the living and kitchen area, creating a wide open space that takes advantage of the existing windows, offering charming view of the garden and sneak peeks of the sea close by.
