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.
