Debido a las reducidas dimensiones de la parcela, la idea de la propuesta y principal inquietud de los clientes era el máximo aprovechamiento posible del espacio exterior. Por ello, se plantea una planta baja totalmente abierta al exterior, permeable también al espacio exterior posterior, que en seguida nos sugiere que toda la superficie de parcela se convierte en un gran jardín, fusionándose todos los espacios (jardín principal | vivienda | jardín entrada posterior). El resto de plantas descansan sobre este gran jardín transparente consiguiendo la sensación de que estas plantas se suspenden y gravitan sobre el espacio exterior. Esto se consigue con unas grandes cristaleras en planta baja que una vez abiertas nos hacen que el espacio fluya y conseguir una máxima relación/ambigüedad de interior – exterior. La planta baja y planta primera funcionan como grandes miradores enfocados a las vistas de la ciudad de Barcelona.

The exterior of the Wolf-Huang residence is horizontal and linear so that most of the rooms can have a view of the water. The low slung lines of the house echo the horizontality of the lake.

Mit dem Anspruch unter Berücksichtigung aller Anforderungen der Bauherren die beste Wohnplanung für das vorhandene Grundstück und die örtliche Umgebung zu erstellen, entstand ein einzigartiges Gebäude. Drei klar ablesbare Baukörper verbinden sich in einem mittigen Erschließungskern, schaffen Blickbezüge zwischen den einzelnen Funktionsbereichen und erzeugen dennoch ein hohes Maß an Privatsphäre. Die Kombination aus Massivholzelementen, Stahlbeton und Glas verbindet sich dabei zu einer wirtschaftlichen Hybridlösung mit größtmöglichem Gestaltungsspielraum.

The new extension included a big rooflight almost taking the whole space of the roof. A Wildflower roof edge was included to soften the impact of the new extension and allow for views form the formal dining room at first floor.

Hidden away amidst the wilderness in the outskirts of the central province of Sri Lanka, is a modern take of a lightweight timber Eco-Cottage consisting of 2 living levels. The cottage takes up a mere footprint of 500 square feet of land, and the structure is raised above ground level and held by stilts, reducing the disturbance to the fauna and flora. The entrance to the cottage is across a suspended timber bridge hanging over the ground cover. The timber planks are spaced apart to give a delicate view of the green living belt below. Even though an H-iron framework is used for the formation of the shell, it is finished with earthy toned materials such as timber flooring, timber cladded ceiling and trellis, feature rock walls and a hay-thatched roof. The bedroom and the open washroom is placed on the ground level closer to the natural ground cover filled with delicate living things to make the sleeper or the user of the space feel more in one with nature, and the use of sheer glass around the bedroom further enhances the experience of living outdoors with the luxuries of indoor living. The living and dining spaces are on the upper deck level. The steep set roof hangs over the spaces giving ample shelter underneath. The living room and dining spaces are fully open to nature with a minimal handrail to determine the usable space from the outdoors. The cottage is lit up by the use of floor lanterns made up of pale cloth, again maintaining the minimal disturbance to the surroundings.
Island Passive House

This prefabricated 1,800 square foot Certified Passive House is designed and built by The Artisans Group, located in the rugged central highlands of Shaw Island, in the San Juan Islands. It is the first Certified Passive House in the San Juans, and the fourth in Washington State. The home was built for $330 per square foot, while construction costs for residential projects in the San Juan market often exceed $600 per square foot. Passive House measures did not increase this projects’ cost of construction. The clients are retired teachers, and desired a low-maintenance, cost-effective, energy-efficient house in which they could age in place; a restful shelter from clutter, stress and over-stimulation. The circular floor plan centers on the prefabricated pod. Radiating from the pod, cabinetry and a minimum of walls defines functions, with a series of sliding and concealable doors providing flexible privacy to the peripheral spaces. The interior palette consists of wind fallen light maple floors, locally made FSC certified cabinets, stainless steel hardware and neutral tiles in black, gray and white. The exterior materials are painted concrete fiberboard lap siding, Ipe wood slats and galvanized metal. The home sits in stunning contrast to its natural environment with no formal landscaping.

A courtyard home, made in the walled garden of a victorian terrace house off New Walk, Beverley. The home is made from reclaimed brick, cross-laminated timber and a planted lawn which makes up its biodiverse roof. Occupying a compact urban site, surrounded by neighbours and walls on all sides, the home centres on a solar courtyard which brings natural light, air and views to the home, not unlike the peristyles of Roman Pompeii.

El proyecto se sitúa en un entorno inmejorable, orientado a Sur y con unas magníficas vistas al mar Mediterráneo. La parcela presenta una gran pendiente diagonal a la cual la vivienda se adapta perfectamente creciendo en altura al mismo ritmo que aumenta el desnivel topográfico. De esta forma la planta sótano de la vivienda es a todos los efectos exterior, iluminada y ventilada naturalmente. Es un edificio que sobresale del entorno arquitectónico en el que se sitúa, con sus formas armoniosas y los materiales típicos de la tradición mediterránea. La vivienda, asimismo, devuelve a la naturaleza más del 50% del espacio que ocupa en la parcela a través de su cubierta ajardinada que, además, le proporciona aislamiento térmico y dota de vida y color a sus formas.
