Yellow Brick House - Vilnius, Lithuania

Yellow Brick House - Vilnius, Lithuania
This residence in the Pavilniai Regional Park, near the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, is one of those that we just have to point out, although it is neither brand-new nor unfamiliar to many readers. The confident combination of history and modern needs of an upscale family was achieved by the architectural firm G. Natkevicius & Partners. Located by in the valley of river Vilnia that gave the city its name, the park and the city have a rich history with the oldest written records dating back to 1323. It seems that in Vilnius private residents can buy pieces of such storied land, and when the current owner of the site - a banker and collector of antique books - bought it, a single bright-yellow building stood on it. The yellow house itself was not as big as the four-member family wanted their home to be, so they decided to build their new home of glass and erect it around the historic brick house.

Powerhouse Company Rooms with many views Villa 1 was Powerhouse Company’s first project: our chance to present our manifesto to the world. We were a fledgling practice then, working from kitchen-table offices in Rotterdam and Copenhagen. But we knew exactly what we wanted to build (a house with great spatial qualities and meticulous detailing) and how we wanted to build it (in a smooth, service-driven process). The design of Villa 1 was inspired by the site, the clients’ paradoxical desire to live “in a modern glass house with all the cosiness of an old farmhouse”, and by Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and the work of Saarinen. The project embodies our ideas about professionalism. The site: a manufactured forest The plot was in a wood which, like so much of Dutch nature, is entirely manmade. Because the house’s spatial needs required twice the volume allowed by the regulations, we designed it upside down, placing all the bedrooms underground with the daytime functions on top. Why oh Y? Three solid forms

Aoki Jun. La Maison N. Le nouveau bâtiment conçu par Aoki Jun s’appelle N. Il entre dans la série des maisons projetées marquées par différentes lettres de l’alphabet. Le représentant brillant de la « troisième vague » de l’architecture japonaise contemporaine, Aoki Jun a commencé à faire ses maisons-lettres en 1993, deux ans après le début de son activité indépendante. Avant cela il a fait ses études à l’Université de Tokyo, en section de projets d’études d’architecture et il a travaillé chez Arata Isozaki & Associates. N, érigée dans la ville de Kohoku, est le seizième objet « en lettres » de cet architecte japonais populaire. Selon les vœux du client – photographe professionnel avec sa femme et ses deux filles – la maison devait s’harmoniser avec le paysage, non en s’y mêlant mais en « s’assimilant » à lui. «Nous avons profité de leur « grammaire » et de leur langage mais nous avons rempli notre objet d’un autre contenu », explique l’architecte. Maison «А» (2007) Maison «G» (2004) Maison «I» (2001)

Hidden In Costa Rica's Rain Forest... (15 photos) It's impossible not to fall in love with this eco-friendly house, hidden on a coastal hillside in Costa Rica. Surrounded by lush greenery, I can only imagine how fresh the air must be. And with a fantastic view overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this home almost seems too good to be true... Designed by SPG Architects, Casa Torcida has the largest domestic solar array in Costa Rica, which provides enough energy for lighting, appliances, and miscellaneous equipment. The solar panels sit on a ceramic-based roof coating that both minimizes solar heat-gain and provides a clean source of water for the house and the pool, thus there is no need for well water.

Mirindiba House by Marcio Kogan Mirindiba House by Marcio Kogan When it comes to residential architecture in 21st century Brazil, few are as gifted as Marcio Kogan. His Paraty House on the Atlantic coast may be our favorite home built in the last decade, one that we’ve often dreamed of spending a night (or a year) in. In looking back at Kogan’s portfolio, we decided to share an older gem of the Brazilian architect, the Mirindiba House, completed in 2008. The Mirindiba House displays the signature Kogan forms and textures, with rectangular concrete sections inset with dark wood and stone work accent walls inside and out. The architect understands the Brazilian climate quite intimately, as most of his homes — including this one — feature sprawling exterior living spaces with fine, custom furnishings. Marcio Kogan is an architect to celebrate, and his Mirindiba House is one of the great gems of his portfolio.

The Tangga House Singapore by Guz Architects The Tangga House Singapore by Guz Architects Email 104 Email The tropical nature of Singapore is one that should be embraced in architecture, with structures that make outdoor living central to their experience. Garden House by David Guerra Email David Guerra is the Brazilian architect that redesigned the Garden House, a 1980′s house located in Brazil. This amazing house was constructed considering some important aspects like the interior/exterior integration which was planned to be bigger. This was possible using the garden day by day and it not only helped at the integration but also at the lighting of the rooms that used to be dark. To be suitable for the new owners the house was modernized adding new spaces that can be used in different ways. There was used a mix of styles including classics, ethnics, contemporaries and Brazilian references.
