We love designing in neighborhoods that have lots of mature trees. We loved this site because it benefits from having lots of green trees surrounding it, but because it is situated on a corner, it can open up to lots of natural light to the west and south, a great feature in the pacific northwest.

Bosc d’en Pep Ferrer es el topónimo tradicional de una parcela de gran extensión ubicada junto a la playa de Migjorn, en la costa Sur de la isla de Formentera. En ella hay una lugar que desata el deseo de habitar una onírica panorámica donde el horizonte solo queda recortado por la bella silueta de la Torre des Pi des Català, erigida en 1763. El proyecto se gesta en la dualidad entre lo telúrico y lo tectónico. Lo pesado y lo ligero. Tierra y aire. Lo artesanal y lo tecnológico. Esfuerzo a compresión y resistencia a tracción. La roca, que aflora superficialmente en el lugar elegido, se ha esculpido como si de una escultura se tratase, ofreciendo un vacío que recuerda a las canteras de piedra de ‘marès’. Una espacio materializado con una sola piedra. Monolítico. Megalítico. Estereotómico. La intervención acoge una vivienda para una familia sensible con el medio ambiente, cuyo programa se reparte en tres módulos ligeros construidos en seco y el vacío generado por substracción de materia en la planta inferior. Esta disposición longitudinal da lugar a sucesiones de vacío-lleno, patios, pasarelas de conexión, visiones transversales y al descubrimiento por sorpresa de un espacio esculpido por el tiempo: una cueva natural en el patio de acceso principal, que durante las obras se integró al conjunto.La estructura es fácilmente inteligible y se manifiesta en tres estratos con niveles de precisión ascendentes: en la planta inferior se hace evidente la inexistencia de muros de contención añadidos al sustrato rocoso, así como la aparición una pequeña estructura de hormigón que regulariza el nivel superior de dicha planta y constituye la plataforma de apoyo de la planta baja. En la planta superior, como si de una maqueta a escala real se tratase, el montaje biapoyado de la estructura se hace evidente desde el interior, donde se ha dejado vista en la mayor parte de los casos, convergiendo en un solo elemento (paneles de madera contra-laminada) varias funciones: estructura, cerramiento y acabado. La nobleza de los materiales utilizados y de sus uniones ha estado presente en el proceso de proyecto y ejecución. Bajo criterios de bioconstrucción han primado los de origen natural y si era posible del propio lugar: roca esculpida, grava de machaqueo de la propia excavación, piedra caliza capri, madera de pino y de abeto, paneles de algodón reciclado, mármol blanco macael, pintura al silicato de alta permeabilidad, etc. Esto ha revertido en unos cerramientos higroscópicos y permeables al vapor del agua, que permiten un ambiente interior más agradable y sano, a la vez que necesita de menos aportes energéticos para un correcto funcionamiento. A nivel ambiental, la propuesta incorpora sistemas bioclimáticos pasivos de probada eficacia en este clima, así como la autosuficiencia de agua gracias a un aljibe de gran volumen que re-aprovecha el agua de lluvia.

Modern House Exterior with a Mixed Material Roof Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the modern kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the modern exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant modern exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a modern makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best modern exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
