Barn House - farmhouse - the latest home design

Barn House is the farmhouse, designed by BURO II , together with Hendrik Vermoortel, Rita Huys. Located among the rolling hills of mid-west Flanders.

The central principle for the farmhouse conversion is the relationship between the building and its outside space, and the connection with the surrounding environment. The client was emphatic that tradition, innovation and respect for the landscape be combined in a single project. The structure of the landscape and research into rural building in Flanders stand in reciprocity to the design process and the final built environment. Crucial in this thought process is that the landscape confirms the footprint of the buildings and farmhouses in origin and as tradition. Here respect and tradition create a need for a contemporary continuity, reflected in the search for a new meaning for the farmhouse in its varying scenic mutations. The project is a spatial and architectural quest for methods to offer new perspectives in the relationship between landscape and

House RA - modern house In current

House RA designed by Ana Reis architect, located in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. The 2-storey home is characterised by white, clean-cut volumes arranged around an internal courtyard.

The building volume, shape and location are the result of different restrictions from the municipality in terms of height, distances from the street and surrounding buildings. The programme is articulated within the available limits and around an internal courtyard. This allows the house to turn its back to the busy street, and shield its inhabitants.

Living room, dining room and kitchen as well as some storage areas and powder room are located on the ground floor and directly connected with the protected garden. Bedrooms, study and toilets are located on the upper floor. This internal separation of communal and private space is continuous with the buildings relationship with the public domain. The metal structure allows the absence of columns and big windows.

Mt Martha modern house 2010

Mt Martha modern house designed by Australia’s Graham Jones Design.

This modern house built of radial timber, selected for its notable environmental and technical benefits. The secret is in the way the wood is cut. Waste not, want not, and radial sawing allows the highest return of timber per log. The timber is also cut from native trees, which reduces greenhouses gases related to transport of goods.

In addition to being eco-friendly, radial timber is also durable. The natural finish of this innovative and eco-friendly house encourages the live-off-the-earth sentiment. But that’s not to say any luxury is spared. The magnificent wood and stone that form the facade make their way indoors, where tall ceilings are accentuated by the vertical, floor-to-ceiling wooden installations. Expansive windows naturally brighten interiors, while letting in the scenic views of the garden and patio just outside. Radial Timber.

Casa Tropical - modern home design

Casa Tropical designed by Camarim Architects, located in a fishing village in northern Brazil.

The three-storey house is surrounded by a wide gallery for circulation on the outside of the building. The wooden roof and walls of the gallery shelter the building from the sun but allow the wind to cool the interior.

3 Floors: 3 Landscapes totally diverse in use and means of approaching nature.

1: the podium, at street level, looks over the garden. Two volumes sheltering ancillary functions leave an open space for permanence, with wide views over the garden, under the shadow of the house above.

2: the rooms are accessed via the gallery, which is wrapped in a wooden skin that negotiates privacy, views, ventilation and shadow, this last one treated as a living ornament. The walls have the roughness of hand crafted bricks, painted ice white.

3: the living room is a house on the trees, a wooden house on top of the concrete house. The open roof leaves space for 3,20 m high glass panels, merging coconut trees, dunes and sea in the open plan interior.

Mountain Home Design Luxury

This modern house design blends nature and innovation in a truly contemporary house on a hill. The sloped terrain set the tone for the home unique shape. The main volume of this mountain house sits close to the hillside, clad in a natural wood that complements its surroundings.

Luxury Pirihueico House - modern house

Asked to design a summer/winter house in a remote landscape in the most southern part of Chile. More than a design, the client wanted, first of all, an equation that included every possible aspect that one could consider to be included; the design then had to be just the resolution of that equation.

Being the weather condition very extreme, we started taking as less risk as possible; that’s why we began from the double sloped conventional roof. Slowly, we moved on, deforming it, looking for the views, avoiding the winds, using the frame windows as the arriving or starting points of the slopes. This acceptance-rejection logic of the operations, explain the geometry of the second floor; the first floor on the contrary, is a dry resistance box, able to deal with earthquakes and with the solitude this type of houses have to deal with, great part of the year.

Stones and wood came from the clearence made in the site for the house. The darkness of the object, will be a way to restitute the original density of the place.
