This villa is located in huge and thick forest near Prague, Czech Republic. A few kilometers away is an old town that was historically used as a source of workers for the Emperor’s forests.

View of the village among the thick forest

The biggest inspiration was the surroundings, which led architects Jan Mach, Jan Vondrák, and Lukáš Holub of the architectural firm Mjölk architects to make this design, which due to the organic shape of the roof seems to be woven into the trees that surround it. The lower part was designed in order to enjoy the fascinating views of the forest.

Villa surrounded by tall trees

The work was carried out in 2017 and covers an area of 322 square meters of construction.

Villa surrounded by gardens

The roof covers the two structures that comprise the villa. The first is small and hides the atelier, the social areas, and the garage. The second is a house made for the family. In the lower part is a large residential area with living room, kitchen, workshop, and the master bedroom. Above, are the children’s rooms, which are the only volumes that exceed the ceiling. The first block includes the kitchen area and the second is located above the workshop. The rooms of the children are identical. They all have their own bathroom and a small dressing room.

This house was built, within a reasonable budget, for a couple with a child, and covers an area of 230 square meters. It is located in Le Chenit, Switzerland, and was designed in the year 2017 by the architect Ralph Germann, head of the architectural firm Ralph Germann architectes.

View of the construction on the hill

All of its rooms have a common point: their views of the lake, which is one of the greatest attractions that the house has, along with beautiful landscapes.

Construction surrounded by tall trees

The architects used a prefabricated wooden construction system for facades and pediments. These elements were built directly in the workshop and then transported in situ. The “skeleton” of the house was made of concrete. The prefabricated wooden facades were joined to the interior concrete structure.

All the facades of the house are made of a spruce structure that is filled with fiberglass insulation and then covered with spruce boards, native to the area. By using this method of construction, the architects could keep costs down while reducing construction time and environmental impact.

The architectural firm was in charge of designing the interior tables, shelves and cabinets with birch veneer, and the indoor and outdoor dining tables of solid larch.

Spectacular Renovation of a House that is 23 Years Old

The objective of this project was to renovate a two-story house that was built 23 years ago. The original floor plan had individual cells and a small living room. The space composed of small areas evoked a closed feeling.

Modern entrance of black walls

The person in charge of carrying it out was the architect Kouichi Kimura of the architectural firm FORM Kouichi Kimura Architects in 2018. The space of 140 square meters is located in a town in Japan.

Interior open and full of light
Lounge area that connects to the terrace

A plan was made to eliminate unnecessary rooms and partitions. The entrance serves as an open ground floor that connects the terrace with the living room. In order to expand the visibility and living space, a counter and a raised space were created as a unit that has been built along the wall of the room.

View of the dining room

The space seems quiet due to the moderate height of the roof and the dim light. The exposed column in the corridor had originally been hidden, but is now allowed to breathe. The house, which has many years of construction, has been renovated and has become a house with great potential.

This tourist project built in 2017 was carried out by the architecture firm Atelier Tekuto and its professionals Yasuhiro Yamashita, Ben Matsuno / Atelier TEKUTO and Amami Design Firm. It is located in Tatsugo-cho, Oshima-gun, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, on a subtropical island with 60 thousand residents (the largest island of the Amami archipelago) with a unique culture that is famous for its popular songs and dances.

Aerial view of the tourist complex

The complex consists of an administration building with reception and a restaurant, 3 luxury villas and 10 terraced villas. A total of 14 buildings with 23 rooms.

Complex located on the shores of the beach

The site slopes down 25m with the calm and intimate path that leads towards the calm inland sea, facing the southeast. Landscaping has restored the original seascape while integrating the structures in the environment.

Villas with landscape views
Modern villas

The pool villas are inspired by the traditional Amamian barns, as well as the traditional local gable roofed houses.

The exterior walls and ceilings are covered with gray-silver wood planks developed for this project.

The terraced villas are located rhythmically, half of which are connected through the terrace to the suite. The ceilings in the restaurant building overlap at odd angles, standing out dynamically, giving the interior space a whirling sensation.

This large lot of 27,000 square meters is located within a small gated community of 8 lots in the town of SMPW near Brasilia, in Brazil. The project had as its premise to achieve a balance between the integration of the neighborhood and the maintenance of the privacy of the inhabitants. For this, the architectural firms Esquadra Arquitetos, Yi Arquitetos, who through their professionals Filipe Monte Serrat, Camilo de Lannoy, Manuela Dantas, Silvana Moraes and Carolina Dumay, worked together in intricate detail in order to carry out the project in 2015.

Cantilevered side view

The living room opens onto the pool; the pool is integrated to the barbecue area and the barbecue area is connected to the kitchen. From the private bedrooms, you can access the patio, from where you can interact with the terrace of the mezzanine. In the courtyard the elements of the building are no longer important; rather, the environment created by the lack of such elements is the protagonist.

The structure has a mezzanine modeled to a room to watch TV, from where you can see the street, the pool and a living room with a high ceiling.

Magnificent Detached House with Open and Connected Spaces

The spaces, done in consistent white and with the persistent presence of light, always are pleasant and provocative. These spaces, wide open and ready to be enjoyed by those that occupy it, are surely one of the project’s most important characteristics.

View of the interior open to the garden

The architectural firm MaSQ Architecture was recently commissioned to carry out this project that has a total area of 90 square meters and is located in Sydney, Australia.

Interior connected to the external area

The main inspiration for the project resided in the established backyard, which was somewhat sunken from the surroundings. A new space for living room, kitchen and dining room was added. In particular, it was required that the living room be much like a pavilion in the garden; however, it was equally important that it maintained privacy and was protected. A brick wall was designed around the upper level that was then suspended over the glass doors and windows below.

Rest area
Exterior details

Considered as a space that inhabits both inside and outside, the pavilion can be both a place of open interaction and of rest and protection.

Internally, the kitchen is located in the back of the space with a concrete box gutter expressed internally as the division between the kitchen and the living room.

The black and white painted brick, the dark granite floors and the exposed concrete reflect a simple and honest application.

Small apartment located in Moscow, Russia, designed in a Scandinavian style

This delicate apartment has been recently remodeled for a client, who, having lived for many years in Copenhagen, felt comfortable in the minimalist interiors.

Exterior view of the buildings area
Entry into a minimalist design

So, being back in Moscow, Russia, he decided that this was the style he wanted for his new home, so the architecture firm buro5, led by his architect Boris Denisyuk, got down to work and created this interior with Scandinavian style. Among other things, they decided to paint the interior walls in blue and pastel pink with touches of mustard and fill the spaces with furniture as well as Scandinavian accessories.

The apartment, covering an area of 55 square meters, is located in a Stalinist house built in 1957. The architect did not have the opportunity of a radical remodeling: the load wall and the beam pass through the apartment, so he combined only the kitchen and the living room, and left the bedroom isolated.

The apartment has a very spacious kitchen, and also two closets at the request of the client. One can access one from the hallway and store one’s outer clothing and all household items. The second is adjacent to the bedroom.

Decorating the living room was extremely simple: a sofa, a television and a shelf underneath. There is also a bar counter, which is a continuation of the kitchen.

Modern Loft with a Beautiful and Practical Design

This fantastic loft, with high walls made of brick and concrete, was recently renovated in order to more closely fit the wants and needs of a young and single client. It was crucial that it fit perfectly, especially taking into consideration that the space was rented, and that, in the future, the furniture would be reutilized somewhere else. This is why the furniture, for the most part, was chosen in accordance with each of the spaces in the home.

Space between the living room and dining room where the wooden floors can be clearly seen
Corner of the wooden dining table

The project was undertaken by architectural firm treszerosete in 2017, and was specifically led by experienced professionals André Britto, Caio Ferraz and Kamal Yazbek.

View of the entire area of the loft

It is located in the popular city of São Paulo in Brazil. It covers a total area of 80 square meters, which is not bad at all when we consider that the apartment is occupied by a single person.

Access to the apartment is characterized by a small hallway that limits its use. This is why a bookshelf design that could transmit the personality of the resident through the personal objects—apart from being able to establish a clear order for objects of daily use—was chosen.

The bookshelf at the entrance to the apartment moves through to the stairs, and together—staircase and bookshelf—create a space that allows for concentration and hard work. This was, indeed, as it was requested by the client themselves.

The lower level is the common area, and was designed to receive many people. This is also true for the balcony area, which was designed to help with reunions and gatherings, as the people seated there can easily move to the living room.

In a quiet coastal town, about 40 kms south of the city of Cape, in South Africa, is this fabulous house of 319 square meters. It was designed by Gustav Roberts, an architect working for the architectural firm SALT Architects, in year 2017.

Aerial view of the land where the house is located
Diagonal view of the house from the corner

The house is a three-bedroom detached house located in a private community in the village. The magnificent coastline, mountains and flora provide a warm, welcoming and relaxed environment for the visitors, regardless of the season. This environment was, ultimately, the goal in mind when the property itself was being designed.

Side view of natural stone walls

The ground floor is a connected space that includes the living room, dining room and kitchen areas. These are differentiated by their ceilings and the way they receive natural light. Each of these spaces opens to outdoor areas, with different degrees of privacy. The living room opens completely to a wraparound exterior terrace on the more public front façade. The dining room is connected to a smaller outdoor area, shielded from the neighbor’s by its high walls; it also has a campfire, around which people can sit and spend time together. The kitchen opens to a narrow strip of outer space that serves as a visual extension.

ZIM arquitextura designed this project of 310 square meters in Tigre, Argentina. Their main desire was to share the space with friends and families. They wanted to live in a house that would welcome and shelter the incoming guests, while at the same time providing the appropriate intimacy.

Aerial view of the land lot of the house

The heart of the house is the the living room. This is where the family and its guests come together. A large ceiling establishes a hierarchy and provides abundant space, as well as inviting in a great amount of natural light. A stone wall protects this space from the views of the street. A large sliding door integrates the gallery into the interior space of the dining room, creating a unique space for large gatherings where the interior and exterior are mixed.

The house is divided according to its purpose (public, private and services), as well as in different volumes.

The volume of services is cement, harder and more closed, protecting the house from the most punishing hours of sun as well as the view of the neighbors.

The most private volume contains the rooms and is made of wood, warmer.

Located in a cold, mountainous area of the city Bukan, in Iran, this large house of 592 square meters shows a different design but with local details such as minimum number of openings and maximum use of rock.

The design was overseen by the architectural firm Shoresh Abed in the year 2017, and is represented by collage-type volumes of simple spaces with direct lines.

The home makes use of the mountainous rocks of one of the neighboring towns, as the dominant historical material of the region, to cover the ground floor, the patio and parts of the first floor. Fiber cement, which, unlike rocks, was an industrial material imported from Belgium by the entrepreneur, was used in other parts of the building. It acts as a counterpart for natural rock. There are fiber cement bonding pieces with aluminum puncheons with traces of rock that infuse a sense of coldness in the building.

The entrepreneur wanted to design a closed exterior façade with a small number of openings due to the steep slope of the eastern road—largely because of the nearby pedestrians, who could otherwise see the interior parts of the home. In order to do this, they decided to install flexible and fixed wooden shutters in the openings of the main wall. This also allowed the inhabitants to have enough light in the inside of the home.

This house – which does not go by unnoticed, mainly for its color and its unique design – is located in a residential neighborhood near Basel Landschaft, a Swiss canton whose capital is Liestal. It is a completely black house whose project – done on a particularly tight budget – also had a constrained schedule for construction. It was built on land belonging to the client’s parents, with both abodes sharing the generously proposed garden.

The existing house was built in the 1980s by the architect Max Schnetz. Its semicircular design and some of its older characteristics contribute to its newly constructed neighbor; it is evident, of course, how they are physically related to one another.

The new design was under the care of Swiss architectural firm Daluz Gonzalez Architekten. It covers a total area of ​​280 square meters.

“According to daluz gonzalez architekten, the design is the result of the study of curved shapes ‘within the most well-known economic variable’. The minimal deformations of the exterior walls accentuate the corners, giving an unexpected expressivity that characterizes and identifies the object. meanwhile, the house, which was built in wood on a concrete basement, forms a link with the traditional Swiss construction, emphasizing this duality between formal modernity and constructive tradition.”

The architects Dao Thanh Hai and Nguyen Hanh Nguyen, working for architectural firm Nhat Viet JSC, together with the interior designers Thien Ngan and Dieu An, have recently designed this space of 160 square meters. It is located in Tran Hung Dao Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Specifically, it is next to Bui Vien pedestrian street, a busy place and known as a tourist and cultural area of Saigon.

Although it is an old building, it is not so old as to need to be conserved; as such, it has not gone under renovation. This also implies, of course, that it is not in a ruined state and does not need to be demolished or reconstructed. Although the land is located in the best location of the District, the value of the real estate is almost nil. The people here do not sell, do not rent, and do not do any kind of business.

The design team has devised a concept of “reuse” higher than usual, which aims to create inspiration for both the user and the community. They will make the office space more pleasant than the common office on the street and the staff and clients will experience the ancient history of the French architectural scene.

Within the office, the solutions for planting trees in the vertical and horizontal lines also connect the trees from the roof to the office and connect to the yard of the apartment building.
