This residence designed by Ga´lvez & Ma´rton is located in a condominium in the countryside of Sa~o Paulo, on a triangular plot with a privileged view of the sunset and of the permanent preservation area.

The implementation is the factor that defines the initial project strategy. In this case, positioning the house at the highest possible point still keeps a good relation to the land movement, but paying attention to the solar incidence in the afternoon.

The leisure area faces north and also west, but on this side, it is protected by vertical pivoting brises that control the solar incidence. The pool defines the limit of the flat lawn as well as the end of the stone wall that, on three levels, stretches to the street below.

Six suites, two upstairs and four on the first floor. All with a view of the landscape, internal garden, and swimming pool. It is a two-story house that seeks to blend into the landscape through the use of stone, wood, glass, exposed concrete, and earthy and green tones.

The living and dining rooms are integrated with the veranda and the continuous gourmet one that overlooks the pool, allowing generous but cozy environments to receive friends and family, integrated with the garden and the view of the distant landscape.

A peculiar curiosity about this project is the fact that the master suite was the first room to have its position defined because of the view of the condominium chapel. The environments are visually integrated through glass panels and the "J" shape of the first floor in order to merge internal spaces, gardens, and landscapes.

The typical North American cottage is romanticized as a log cabin in the woods. However, typical cottages are simply updated suburban homes with a more rustic front. These structures uphold the fallacy that blending in with the landscape results in less environmental effect. By creating a separation from the landscape that is more sustainably built than other cottages, The m.o.r.e. Cabin subverts this concept. This debunking of eco-fictions is not pessimistic but upbeat: even though organic habitats are deteriorating, what is left can be used more responsibly. To achieve this, m.o.r.e. Cabin softly brushes the ground by

- Creatively interpreting the law to uphold its tenets.

- Using a steel mast to reduce the size of the foundation.

- A cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure with little waste.

- Using a "folded" structure to increase tensile strength.

- Off-grid electricity and highly effective heating.

- Building a house for bats that are in risk of extinction.

Artisanship in understanding the law. Zoning laws mandated a buffer of 100 feet (30 meters) from the lake. The design took into account a 100-foot-high cliff wall, where conventional construction techniques would call for blasting. To prevent harm to the hillside and forest, a zoning variance was obtained so that the front of m.o.r.e. Cabin could float above the 100-foot (30-metre) mark rather than sit on it.

a mast. A single concrete footing and a steel "mast" that was positioned inside the necessary setback served as the technical answer to the environmental problem. By elevating the construction zone instead of using a traditional huge foundation, the watershed was conserved and erosion was stopped. To reduce carbon emissions, less carbon-intensive concrete was used. There are numerous ways to decorate a house. m.o.r.e. The CLT panels and glulam beams used to construct the cabin were procured appropriately. The CLT was milled off-site before being lifted into position, preventing landscape damage from construction machinery maneuvers.

more. Cabin-as-Beam Environmental issues in the cabin led to innovative structural design. Due to the fact that CLT is primarily used in vertical/compressive portions rather than horizontally in tension, our task was to establish a structural strategy using cantilevered CLT panels. For larger spans, conventional 5-ply CLT is too heavy to maintain itself. Thinner 3-ply CLT was employed as the solution, and structural integrity was guaranteed through "folding" (just like paper gains strength when folded).

Off-Grid. The house has solar energy. The high cottage benefits from superior cross-ventilation and greater breezes. A high-efficiency "green carbon" wood stove provides heat. The mass of CLT gives a high R-value and thermal comfort, while perfect construction ensures airtightness. inviting the neighbors over. The home's large housing for endangered brown bats was one of its main objectives. *"m.o.r.e." stands for the clients' grandmothers; all of whom did more with less — and did it gracefully. Bat pods were integrated into the mast to provide safety from ascending predators and a clear flight path to the lake.

The siheyuan, a classic Chinese courtyard house, is renowned for serving as an example of Confucian virtues and housing extended families with many generations living together under one roof. Living together implies sharing a home, and this metaphor serves as the connecting thread between the idea of community, particularly in an intimate setting, and the shape created for this project. Neri&Hu is given a set of unusual requirements by the client for this private residence commission: the new house built in place of the old one should accommodate all three siblings, who as adults have outgrown their shared house; it should include a small memorial space in the form of a garden for their late mother; and finally, the new construction should preserve the memory of the pitched-roof form, a defining feature of their childhood home.

The former residence was constructed in the British colonial bungalow design but included hybrid elements from traditional Malay homes, such as thick roof eaves for rain protection and Victorian accents. Neri&Hu embrace the symbolic nature of the pitched roof and mix it with a reimagining of the courtyard house because they recognize the roof's functional relevance and the client's emotional affinity to its form.

Neri&Hu investigated the spatial expression of ideas of communal living and collective memory in this project. 

Designers have kept the luxuriant vegetation that formed a natural green buffer along the perimeter of the old site's edge. The social areas of the new two-story house are arranged around a central garden that takes up the courtyard area and serves as a memorial garden for the family matriarch. Extroverted in nature, the ground level features large glass walls to connect all spaces to the gardens along the site's edge. The living room, open kitchen, dining room, and study are common spaces where Neri&Hu seek to enhance visual transparency so that from the ground level, residents may see into the central memorial garden while being sheltered by the thick foliage around the house. In ideal temperature circumstances, large glass doors can swing open to allow the house to benefit from cross ventilation and easy access to the gardens.

For the upper level, Neri&Hu follow the notion that the pitched-roof form serves as both a symbol of refuge and a 

boundary between the public and private spheres. The home retains the appearance of a single-story hipped-roof bungalow when viewed from the exterior since all private bedrooms, which are placed on the upper introverted level, are contained within the steep gables of the roof. Bedroom balconies with views of the surrounding garden spaces are connected by skylights and huge glass walls. The design team adds three double-height rooms using sectional interplay to link the social areas and the corridors above. One can look up into the public domain from the private sphere thanks to these gaps of interpenetration that create vertical visual linkages.

Before reaching the main memorial garden, one can see a little tree being framed by a hollow that has been cut out of the roof volume. The outside walls change from smooth to board-formed concrete to resemble wooden planks where balconies and sky wells are created out of the volume of the pitched-roof structure. To emphasize the ambulatory sensation of going in circles and designate the memorial space as a sacred feature, the ground floor circulation is based on the shape of a circle. The circle's lack of edges and terminating points makes it possible to always find a route back to the center, both literally and spiritually. The garden serves as a metaphor for the home's interior, which is represented by an ever-present void that serves as the backdrop to everyone's daily existence as a whole.

Pi House in vietnam by D&P Associates

Country : Vietnam

The reason FVA chose the moniker "House" for this intriguing housing project is that from a distance, the entire 

building resembles the Pi Archimedes constant in geometry. Pise Wall was the main source of inspiration for the building of the house. The house's owner, a Frenchman who has spent close to 30 years living and working in 

Vietnam, served as inspiration for the architectural concept. He is deeply passionate about traditional Vietnamese art and culture. According to the owner's wishes, the house is a lovely fusion of contemporary Western architecture with the timeless beauty of Vietnam.

In order to give art decorations a feeling of friendliness and harmony, rustic brick is employed, which is akin to 

classic French and Vietnamese architecture. We have given the interior of the house a contemporary, stylish, and opulent beauty by rearranging the rustic bricks. The House is located beside the Red River, which has significant historical and cultural significance. The river has been a part of the capital's formation and growth through thousands of years, from Thang Long to Dong Do to Hanoi.

The house was built with numerous huge transparent glass windows in French modern style to take advantage of the great location overlooking the Red River and Long Bien Bridge. These windows filled the house with natural light during the day and made it feel spacious at night. When surrounded by a cool natural setting, homeowners can enjoy a view overlooking the Red River without any obstructions. With a pool in the front, the ground level was intended to be a pleasant area for the owners. The first level serves as a gathering place for the entire family and for guests. Each family member's personal space is on the second story.

The decorative items are dotted over the first floor's rooms. The interiors' vibrant elements give the room a 

dynamic, inviting appearance. There is a sense of openness and generosity due to the space between the first and second floors and the fantastic waterfront outlook.

What if living in your house was like living in a garden pavilion? It does at BENT Annexe II! This family of four and Pippa the groodle are surrounded by lush greenery and can easily enjoy their backyard thanks to the preservation of the character-rich front section of the property and the construction of a new, light-filled addition to the rear. The existing house was attractive with high ceilings and elaborate features, as is typical of many historic buildings. Due to a number of rooms, including the kitchen, storage spaces, and a toilet that were tacked onto the back in a lean-to, as is also the case with many historical homes, the living quarters felt cut off from the backyard. Due to two important factors, we decided against replacing the lean-to with an open-plan living space that would extend from back to back and open into the garden.

First of all, we always strive to position houses such that they face north and extend longways from east to west. This enables them to benefit from the sun's passive heating properties in the winter and its cooling effects in the summer. In the thick of summer, the low eastern light can heat up the home excessively before the day has even begun. The backyard faces east, and while we adore the eastern sun streaming into the kitchen and meals area while we eat our winter porridge! 

We also had to find a solution to generate privacy without sacrificing the sun and a leafy aspect due to a large, two-story neighbor to the east. A hybrid alternative was chosen as the solution; it makes its way into the garden while capturing light and views from the north and a few peeks from the east through thoughtfully placed windows and a canopy of creepers and other vegetation. In this manner, the house makes the most of the garden and sun. The chambers in the original house provided the ideal seclusion for resting as well as quieter activities like bathing and a separate lounge. 

A circulation core that draws light from a high-level window to brighten the heart of the house connects them to the lighter, busier areas of the house. This roomy, open area serves as a warm transition between the formal, period component of the house and the informal, garden pavilion.

You feel as though you have entered the garden once you enter the annexe. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, the walls disappear. The residence is protected by the addition's construction, which also connects the interior and exterior of the house like an arbor. As a result, the line separating the home and yard appears even more hazy. The arbor, which has built-in planter boxes, is designed to stimulate the growth of vines and creepers so that it will shade and enclose the living areas. The addition's timber ceilings echo those in the old house and enclose the lounge, but because they follow the angled armature of the arbor-like construction, they feel striking and contemporary. The interiors of the house are made warm and naturally rich by the addition of other types of timber. The backdrop is the ideal balance of dusty green, grey, and charcoal to the lush green of the garden. Even though it appears to be lightweight and outdoorsy, the annexe is actually packed with thermal mass and passive design principles that enable it stay comfortable year-round, regardless of the weather.

The trick to designing the optimal addition for any house is to make the most of the location's advantages while minimizing its disadvantages. In this instance, the backyard felt forgotten because the rear didn't have the ideal solar orientation and a leering two-story neighboring house. In order to make the house and garden feel more private, BENT Annexe II turns its back on the adjacent house and reorients the living areas so that they face the sun. The home is able to visually expand to take up the full site and the owners may feel as though they live in a lush garden by constructing a living area that not only embraces the garden but also seems like it is a part of it.

The west-sloping location, which is situated in San Francisco's Dolores Heights district, provides expansive 

vistas of both the city and the nearby Sutro skyscraper. Kevin Sawyers of Sawyers Design, who is also a co-owner of the house, worked on this project with me.

In order to turn these awkwardly connected rooms into an open, harmonious space, Kevin and his husband wanted to restore and enlarge their existing earthquake cottage that had been added onto piecemeal over the years. Making the most of the house's relationship to this special site was important because the current footprint took up a large portion of the property.

A straight axis serves as the site and home's circulation, and as it ascends to the main entrance, it interacts 

with the building's shapes. Going inside, Sutro Tower at the downhill end and a spectacular Monterey cypress tree 

at the uphill end serve as permanent anchors for the experience along this axis.

The house's shapes nestle together, which is emphasised by the use of cedar, standing seam metal, and cementitious panels in its construction. These shapes, together with the interior color scheme, produce rooms within an open floor plan. The crescendo of forms at the front pays homage to the iconic vernacular architecture of San Francisco.

Three experiences of the "urban forest" are highlighted by a "inverted" Bay window box that cantilevers eight feet from the front. An outdoor fire pit for the forest floor is shown below. The box's interior frames a look at the "trunk" level. The living room is extended upward by a roof deck, giving access to the "canopy" level. At this deck, a gable—that almost innocent representation of home—serves as the backdrop.

By day, Blur is a silhouette, a mysterious floating bar, and an illuminated house covered in a thin layer of metal. During night, a series of warm golden bands known as Blur are projected onto a hillside. When the two art consultants who own the residence cross the threshold between the interior and exterior, they are struck by how juxtaposed the house is.

a change from light to black that is gradual, optically expansive, and polished. In order to mirror the surroundings while being strong and fire-resistant to withstand the severe alpine environment, the facade is covered in a shiny metal.

Contrarily, the interior maintains a simple, white color scheme that is soothing and welcoming. Large expanses of operable glass are highlighted by simple interior finishes, which establish a tactile and visual link to the Boulder Mountain scenery.

The purity and attention to detail in the plan are examples of Modernist simplicity. Along with accommodating the couple and their two children, the almost symmetrical upper floor concept also gives the option to accommodate art and host small events. From the minute the house is seen at the end of the long driveway till the second one's feet touch the white wood floors, the home's contrasting language is clear.

Tranquility. Since the project's inception, this phrase has served as a guide for both architect Carol Miluzzi and 

engineer Willian Vasconcelos.

The house, which has two major blocks fashioned like a "L" and is situated in Araçoiaba da Serra, a southeast 

village in the Brazilian city of So Paulo, quietly embraces the area's natural beauty. There is a constant view of 

the mountains in the area and a clean, crisp sense in its huge expanses. The pair placed a high value on the 

home's ability to naturally promote relaxation and decompression.

The woodwork of the home is substantial, much like the bricks, appearing to be individual pieces of a larger 

artwork. The strength and adaptability of the wood are recognized in everything from pergolas to benches to steps 

to even the roof structure. The entry module was painted using the Japanese shou-sugi-ban style, which contrasts 

the house's simplicity with a refined tone. It is left to the viewer's imagination how this duality is implemented 

inside the home.

The empty sections of the land occupation were envisioned as dwellings. A rustic wooden pergola structure houses 

an outdoor kitchen space on one side with a play of light and shadow, and an open deck that lets in fresh air and 

makes up the front of the house on the other.

The Marathi word for mother is aayi. Aayi is an effort to design a traditional-looking Goan home that was 

constructed as a memorial to the client's parents. The concept satisfies the objective to be modern and minimalist while blending in with the natural surroundings of the site. The development is located in the upper left corner of the property, tucked away among a luxuriant clump of coconut trees, and is situated in a corner plot that is bounded by a main road on one side and a village road on the other. The home has a South-West facing structure, and it is surrounded by two other buildings: one on the East of the land and one on the North of the neighboring property. Aayi's simple design seamlessly blends into its environment as it sits atop a portion of the lush, green fields.

The site faces south-west, so we ornamented the building with sweeping overhanging verandahs and included pockets of landscaping to make the spaces airy and breezy while also shielding the occupants from the scorching sun. 

Furthermore, we experimented with skylit courts to create an interior microclimate while simultaneously keeping seclusion in order to blend the structure with the buildings it is straddled by. One of the courts serves as the structure's center node and sits on two perpendicular axes that cross the entire area laterally, giving the 

interior a sense of mobility and connection while seamlessly blending with the exterior.

The home is a two-story building with three courts on the ground floor that showcase how tradition and modern architecture can coexist. The third court is a closer encounter with nature and a more private place made out of a water body. The entrance starts with the warm embrace of a traditional Tulsi court leading onto the center court, which is a double-height space with a connecting bridge on the upper level. These three courts, which are arranged along a single axis, symbolize the movement of spaces through the house as it widens in the middle and gets smaller at the ends.

One axis is constrained by courts, while the other starts at the stairwell's double-height central court, flows 

into the living area, and eventually opens onto a terrace that leads to the garden. The central court and this 

double-height living area appear to be the home's "heart," connecting all the other rooms and acting as an 

extension of the living room to serve as a multifunctional gathering place for the residents. A bridge connecting 

two opposite bedrooms on the upper floor, which is more private and overlooks the gathering area below, is 

bordered on either side by the family living and the covered terrace/cum-bar area. Self-rotating exhaust turbines that are twice topped on the roof provide a stack effect that lets hot air leave and keeps the internal ecology cool. Similar to this, the rooms have French windows with louvers on top to aid with ventilation.

We have dived into minute details of creative inspiration, such as the acrylic tubes on the ceiling to allow for 

perforated intermittent light suggestive of stars, in addition to the clean spatial design that incorporates 

passive-cooling techniques. The pastel interiors and the cozy wooden furnishings blend with the adaptable whites and greys, which then speak to the green surroundings, giving the impression that Aayi is an embodiment of our mothers.

In Colegiales, an area of the city of Buenos Aires that is changing due to the substantial number of multifamily 

housing developed in recent years but that nevertheless preserves certain local characteristics, the commission 

was proposed by members of two families who shared a small and deep property.

The owners decided on a plan and a budget for each residence as well as where each unit would go on the lot: one 

in front and one in back, both with a courtyard and pool.

The necessary components and form adhered to what we had established in a number of the homes constructed by the 

office: straightforward volumes of exposed concrete, requiring little upkeep over time, and sizable openings to 

permit a seamless link between the interior and exterior.

The project also has to look to be sufficiently far from the public highway or guarantee the safety of both 

dwellings. The project should also permit parking for at least four vehicles.

The concept was established by the choice to release the first unit's ground floor in order to facilitate access 

to the back unit and provide the necessary parking places.

Based on this choice, we created a pair of residences that are independent of their yards' placement both in terms 

of layout and section.

Each home is built in a small, two-story volume to free up as much ground as possible. The service spaces are 

directed toward the façade (in the case of the front unit) in order to achieve the requisite opacity with respect 

to the street and, in the back unit, into the open space created between the two built volumes. The main rooms are 

orientated towards the back seeking the north.

Each unit's built mass is perforated to allow for the construction of a tiny courtyard, which adds flora inside 

the home and provides double ventilation and lighting impacts to all spaces.

An significant renovation of a terraced property in Clapham, London, including a concrete frame addition has been finished by Studio McW. For a family leaving an apartment who wanted to keep a sense of lateral living, Framework House was created. In order to assist in its purchase and improve the remodel, Studio McW sourced the property and collaborated with the clients.

According to the customers' requirements, the house had to be beautiful, practical, and have a flexible floor plan for living, entertaining, and working from home. Their desire to live in a home that blends fluidity and rigidity with natural materials served as the inspiration for the interior's concrete, steel, and wood color scheme. The existing, thermally improved shell, as well as the additional windows and roof lights located in the loft and back additions, provide each with plenty of natural light.

With the dining in the front and the living in the back, joined by a central open kitchen, Studio McW inverted the layout of a conventional terraced ground floor plan to suit the lateral living brief. With a smooth transition from entering and eating to relaxing after meals, the resulting ground floor plan makes entertaining simple. The largest portion of the plan is made use of by a living room in the back, creating a bright, spacious area that opens up to the sizable courtyard garden. A wall of expansive matte white cabinetry connects the dining room to the modern Poggenpohl kitchen, which is located within the bay.

Two bedrooms and a bathroom are located in the existing volume up a concrete stairway next to the kitchen, and an office is located in a dual-aspect addition. There is a visual connection between the levels thanks to a hole in the office floor that views back into the living room. The main bedroom suite and bathroom on the upper floor have bespoke joinery throughout that carries the tactility introduced elsewhere.

An artistic concrete framework unites the old and the modern by repairing damaged portions of the house, creating thoughtfully designed new volumes on the ground floor, and creating spectacular voids that rise through the property. The warmth of the herringbone wood floors, custom joinery, and matte black metalwork contrast with the skeletal structure's exposed, unfinished state. By exposing the sturdy and long-lasting concrete frame of the building, praising the raw materials and unique shapes it offers, the objective was to celebrate and highlight the new structural components.

Recognizing the negative environmental effects of concrete construction, Studio McW sought to reduce the amount of extraneous building materials and finishing touches. They also dedicated wall and ceiling infill to hide unsightly elements like insulation, cabling, and pipes. We were able to lessen the waste generated during the structure's formation by cleaning up and reusing some of the concrete formwork.

Studio McW extended the aesthetic and functional potential of the materials by selecting a sophisticated palette. In order to create a thorough frame that "demonstrates what can be achieved with good detailing requirements that contain minutiae that can go ignored," the practice worked with a contractor who had never worked with concrete before.

The monolithic concrete stair was created by Studio McW to rise next to the home's new brutalist frame, which is top-lit by overhead glass. The first-floor landing was built on-site while the staircase was installed in three precast components. Cranes were used to bring in the off-site components.

A space that appears straightforward but actually filled with hidden features and plenty of storage thanks to the exact joinery, stairs, metalwork, exposed structure, and intersecting volumes. The client's current needs are excellently met by the clarity and fluid spatial flow of the contemporary scheme, which also offers a floor plan that is flexible enough to accommodate any future adjustments that may be required.

This riverfront residence was built with views of the water to the north and vistas into substantial fig trees to 

the south in mind. Large, double-height living space that serves as the home's focal point is located in the 

middle of the structure. This arrangement allows rooms farther along the floor plan to look out onto the river 

through the main room.

Houses in the neighborhood surround the location. A double wall was built to regulate privacy and let sunlight 

from the north in. In the afternoon, the wall emits a wash of light that fosters the necessary serenity.

White concrete with off-form scaling has been used to build each end of the home. Timber screens, which scale down 

and humanize, contrast with the scale and polish of the concrete. Between the riverfront promenade and the 

interior of the house, there are several layers created by the delicate screens, deep concrete reveals, and 

manicured foreground. The house is a peaceful little haven in the middle of a bustling city.

There are several different experiences to be had as one makes their way through the house. The house makes use of 

condensed areas to emphasize the size of areas beyond, textured materials to emphasize the smoothness of concrete, 

and darkness to emphasize the light levels of an area beyond.

The home uses cross ventilation and thermal mass to passively cool itself in the subtropical environment. Large 

overhangs with automated louvers on the north-facing layout enable cross ventilation as needed. The few apertures 

on the eastern and western sides serve as a thermal barrier. A 22000L subterranean water tank and substantial LED 

lights are also included.

The goal of this project was to show how a large family home may be built on a small inner-city lot. Its goals 

were to dispel the myth that architecturally designed homes were beyond of reach for the average family and to demonstrate how a tiny block could still include a good amount of outdoor living and gardening area. Finally, we aimed to create a home that gave people's spaces the upper hand than automobiles'. This design only had a two-car parking area off the rear right of way, not a lock up garage.

The project's location is an inner suburban Perth block that has been rear subdivided. The block is reachable via a rear right-of-way. Due to the site's limited space, it was necessary to design a straightforward two-story home with a close connection to the location and the surroundings.

The structure of the home is simply a box made of wood that is situated atop walls made of stabilized recycled 

concrete. The substantial walls, which separate the interior from the exterior living spaces, are buried in the 

ground. The openness and elegance of the areas within are hidden by the walls, which solidly delineate the right of way.

The private portions of the house are located in the wooden box on top of the walls. These areas project above the concrete walls below, indicating the upper level's box-like aspect. Each room is placed to maximize its relationship to the environment, framing views of the City and treetops, for example.

Through the use of fewer materials and a more straightforward form, the project explores concepts of restraint. A limited budget necessitated creative material and design choices. The walls made of stabilized concrete didn't need to be painted or finished. By using a clear finish to showcase the natural color and texture of the wood, the wood has been highlighted.

Barwon Heads is going through a tremendous shift right now. Older fishing shacks are currently protected by 

heritage overlays while the less important parts of the beach town are gradually renovated. This small coastal 

township's progress is now greatly aided by architecture, and in this instance, a young family hired us to design 

a new permanent home to replace a run-down two-story house from the 1950s that was beyond repair.

Unwanted or not, the township has gained popularity in the last ten years as a result of ABC's Sea Change series, 

and both the town and its diverse population have unconsciously split into morphing factions that are always 

discussing the advantages of advancement or change.

Similar opposition to a new bridge is shown in this community to the rise of architecture. Clients sometimes 

hesitate before accepting modern architectural designs because they worry that there will be a backlash and they 

might end up being burned on the cross. Many people have strong opinions about how it will affect the way the town 

looks in the future. Our clients were locals rather than new "sea-changers," and they were fully devoted to 

opposing the evil entity that controls the Silver Haired Resistance, which is somewhat seasonal in nature.

The Hippy and the Yuppy, who were deeply in love and had three young children as well as an open brief, built a 

new two-story house on a sizable piece of land to serve as their permanent home. They asked for a "green" home 

that would suitably add to the township's developing contemporary identity. The request for a planetarium, which 

"would be sort of great, so we can lie on our backs and marvel at the stars... yeah?" was an odd and mildly 

humorous presentation.

We immediately started exploring circular forms as a loose allusion to the classic stargazer in answer to this 

half-joking request. The limitations of the pure circle presented a challenge to the design concepts, which 

eventually developed into a collection of expansive areas hidden beneath a largely circular form.

The battened skin gives the upper form's private rooms the necessary privacy as well as crucial solar protection 

for the glass windows. Additional ESD techniques include high efficiency double glazing, underfloor heating, solar 

hot water systems, solar pool heating, rainwater retention and harvesting for use in toilets, gardens, and washing 

machines. Since the home received a 7.5 star energy rating, air conditioning equipment were not necessary.

The narrative of this home is told over twenty-one plateaus and seven books.

The project's goal is to give a house that has belonged to the same family for many generations a fresh and 

distinct identity. The original house was created through the combination of several interventions made at various dates and using various construction methods. Each room in the house reflects a certain chapter in the life of this family. Therefore, it was crucial to preserve the architecture, areas, functions, garden, and memories while also presenting them in a novel manner.

The objective of the project is to inject new life into a home that has been in the same family for many 

generations. The original house was built by combining a number of alterations carried out at various times and 

using diverse construction techniques. Every space of the home represents a specific period in the life of this 

family. In order to portray the architecture, places, functions, garden, and memories in a fresh way, it was 

essential to conserve them.

Rooms with a broad range of sizes and heights are produced by the interior's regard for the system of intermediate levels. The furnishings, which are the same gray hue as some of the garden's tree species' trunks, contain the old home's supporting framework.

The house is intertwined with the pine trees and the pleasant memories that abound here.

The young widow's physical and spiritual well-being were priorities when the Elves Home with the dark indoor pool was constructed. The project aims to produce something potent but understated. a delicate location that gives serenity and diverse viewpoints of the surrounding wildlife throughout the year.

It was more than just a practice in aesthetics. It is a place for spiritual renewal and purification of the body and soul. The main problem is an architecture that is closely related to nature, produced, and placed in relation to the surrounding forest-like landscape. Any architecture must have a strong connection to the outdoors and the changing seasons.

It's all about the various ways that light can be paired with its opposite, the shadow. Vertical apertures to the south allow direct sunshine into the depth of the space, while large glass doors to the west and east terraces link to the garden. The glossy painted ceilings and the bronze-plastered fireplace reflect the greenlight that is filtered by the huge trees. The inner grass wallpaper-covered walls and the dark-toned oak floor absorb the shadow play.

Warm and dark natural fabrics absorb the sunshine like a forest. The Japanese tradition of semi-dark, gloomy rooms, where the colors appear muted and the glow emanates from within, has an impact on the atmosphere. a place where the dark is warm and profoundly colorful.

We were asked to construct a single-family home on an old tennis court in the Valencia suburb of a long-

established beautiful city. It provided us with a flat area with background greenery, a large tree, and an ancient 

subterranean warehouse that had been converted into a swimming pool.

Due of the lack of communal activity in the streets of this urban model, we have developed an interior-focused 

typology to better understand how users interact with outdoor space.

The program is set up in a spine from the northern entry area to the terrace at the southern end of the property 

due to its length. The morning light enters the rooms through openings, gaps, and a courtyard on the east façade, while a flat, opaque façade on the west side seeks shade from the sun under the nearby greenery.

The house is constructed using white clay bricks as a nod to the nearby residential architecture. Each piece's 

size enables us to roughly translate the volumetric forcefulness that characterizes the project's outside 

appearance to the human scale. This assertiveness reaches its pinnacle in the vertical component that defines the "paellero," a significant aspect of Valencian social life. It is set off by a light, overhanging pergola made of 

pine slats on the southern terrace, which creates a covered outdoor area. The thickness of the enclosures, cross ventilation, and how the house responds to varied sun orientations all work together to generate a system of passive measures that enhance the climatic performance of the building.

Ideally situated in Kebayoran Baru, this family home is on 260 square meters of land and is close to a main connecting route that can get congested during the morning and afternoon rush hours. Despite being close to the Jakarta Central Business District, the location is obviously not the best option for a family with three adult children.

The key issue that must be addressed in the design of this home is the requirement for a large amount of playground and activity area for kids. The house itself need not scream "identity" in order to fulfill the client's request. It has a striking subdued geometric prism facade in front of it that is set back 5 meters from the main road and painted in a warm, textured gray surface. The front, which has a few sporadic small square glass boxes on one side, is as drab as the inside walls, which are entirely stark white.

What the inside lacks in the front yard (as a playground), it makes up for inside. The house was divided into 2 main components by the architect to provide room for an interior playground. The 4.5-meter distance between these two blocks creates high voids that rise to a height of 12 meters over the narrow 'bridge' that connects the two distinct blocks. This bridge connects the pantry to the children's room, which doubles as a floating playground and has a view of the dining room below. It is a light, airy place because of the skylight above it. The high ceiling helps create air movement naturally, reducing the need for the air conditioning equipment. All of the bedrooms have internal windows that open to the central lofty voids, fully utilizing the principle of borrowing space to give the family's chambers a more spacious appearance. Children will fill this interior area with games and laughing during the day, while at night, the high ceiling will help control fresh air, bringing down Jakarta's hot and humid weather.

The rectangular shape of the house filled the house's tapered site, leaving a vacant area in front of the open family room. Nearing the site's conclusion, this area is rather wide, large enough to accommodate a 2-meter-wide kiddie pool. The rooms close to the pool, which has a 1 meter depth, a blue mosaic inside wall, and overflow water flowing toward its perimeter of 12 mm tempered glass, are given a shooting ambience.

The master bedroom is located in the rear block, which is one floor higher than the front block. This master bedroom's window has a view of the Central Business District as its main draw, as well as a little alley behind the building. The sloped ceiling's peak's chamfered edge eliminates edges from its surface, making the room appear bigger and brighter.
