Architect: Guilherme Machado Vaz Client: Júlio Machado Vaz Location: Vieira do Minho, Portugal Project: 1998 2002 Construction: 2002 2005 Consultants: SGPE, lda. Contractor: António Dias Ribeiro, Lda. Constructed Area: 350m2 Budget: 250.000 EURO (US $386.200) Photographs: Leonardo FinottiWhen you enter the site you see the house hidden behind nature without any constructed way to the entrance which makes it look even more as an isolated element in space. This ` surprise element ‘ (Montesquieu) contributes to stimulate the observer and its perception of the relation between the space and the house. The architectonic experience is made to the base of sensorial stimulations. The entrance is a covered exterior space that gives access to the garage and to the interior of the house. The stairs lead to the entry hall that separates the veranda from the living room. Each space has a different relation with the surroundings which confers a unique identity to them. The opened veranda, protected by the trees, is a place of libation of nature, where we get lost inside ourselves.The bedroom’s area consists of two identical nucleuses with a hall, two rooms and bathroom. The house is made of concrete, used as a constructive and finishing element, searching a hard materiality and contrasting aesthetics with the chromatic and textural diversity of nature that encircles it. On the inside, this contrast is emphasized through the neutral color that coat walls and ceiling and by the ‘monotonous’ way that space is designed.

Seifert House designed by Michael Shamiyeh Architect, located in Volkersdorf, Enns, Austria.The house was built as a passive house (no cooling or heating required) with an incredible low budget, within a construction period of less than seven months.
Architect : Michael Shamiyeh — BAU|KULTUR, Austria Location : Volkersdorf, Enns, Austria Structure Engineer : Helmut Schiebel Contractor : Winfried Orth Materials : Concrete & Glass Photographs : Paul OttThe conception of the house became a deep engagement with Mies, in particular with the Farnsworth House, and the question of how a space should be constituted in order to open itself to the surrounding by simultaneously offering privacy. Furthermore, it became an investigation of how much freedom in space effectively determines the way of living in contrast to a few certain spatial determinations that liberate. Whereas the first model refers to Rietveld’s attempts to create freedom e.g. by means of sliding doors etc. the later model refers to Mies’ structured open plan.View more about Seifert House [via] Modern house design.

Alan-Voo Family House in Los Angeles by Californian practice Neil M. Denari Architects.This is a Project Description from Neil M. Denari Architects :
The scheme leaves half of the house for the daughter’s bedrooms and incorporates the other half plus new extensions in front and back into a public zone and a private bedroom for the parents.
This strategy amounts to a new 16 ft wide linear house being inserted into the existing house. Multi-toned, bright colors accentuate the new pieces which suggests a graphic expression representative of the family’s interests.More about Family house [via] modern house design.

Natoma — modern house located in San Francisco The design-build of this 4,000-plus s.f. San Francisco penthouse began with only an architectural shell and focused on creating intimate, human-scale spaces. This treasure of a home is a complete study in materials, texture and construction. Beautiful cityscape views. Large open spaces. Unique and exciting details. The provocative use of materials that define this home is no subject of design afterthoughts. Simple materials executed with artistic and technical mastery create a space that is expansive, intimate, relaxing and engaging — making this home an experience long-remembered by any guest. The denim blue of concrete countertops combine with silver stainless and rich wooden butcher block to create a warm and practical kitchen setting. A high-use space, used for cooking and entertaining, was defined by a loft mezzanine above; the commanding hood and island cooking station help to bridge the space and bring a sense of unity and flow to this Northern California kitchen. see natoma house reviews [via] modern house design

Foster + Partners will remodel the famous Camp Nou Stadium, increasing capacity by 10,000. The stadium, already the largest in Europe, will be enlarged to accommodate over 106,000 fans, together with extensive new facilities including hospitality and public areas. The design features an exterior decorated with multi-colored, scale-like tiles.Identity: The roof and the external façade
The architectural proposal described here places a strong emphasis on giving the stadium a vital and distinctive presence within the urban fabric it is situated. The stadium will become well known not just for its distinctive appearance from within its seating bowl but also its dramatic new external architecture. The design of the stadium’s exterior façade will allow for the stadium to transform itself between day and night and also between non-match days and match days. The stadium’s volume is enveloped within a mosaic veil of colored tiles. The tiles are a mixture of colored polycarbonate panels and colored glass panels. These give the stadium a distinctive outer skin which will make a visual matrix of color, shade and reflections. At night the stadium will be energized by lights built into the façade to become a beacon to attract fans and respond to the excitement of the match itself. This appearance can be expected to place the stadium as a ‘must-see’ venue for both football fans and architecture admirers who visit the city of Barcelona. It should be expected that the external image of the stadium will become a recognized brand for FCB.
Side Enclosure
The mosaic screen wrapping around he sides of the stadium is composed of an array of colored polycarbonate panel tiles which embody the colors of FC Barcelona. The panels are fixed to a diagrid cable net which is tensioned between the roof level above he seating bowl and the ground. The accumulated effect of the screen will provide rain protection to the naturally ventilated spaces within the stadium including the public concourse areas. From outside the stadium the mosaic tiles will create a vibrant effect of colors and reflections. From inside the stadium the tiles will filter the different components of the club colors into the various internal spaces.
External Facade Animated Lighting Effect
Integrated within the colored tiles of the side enclosure are special lighting elements which mean that the entire external façade can be used for animated lighting displays. The entire stadium enclosure will work as a giant screen which can project moving full-color images to the stadium surround. Such images can range from low-key ambient displays to vibrant and more detailed displays on event-nights.
The roof
The roof over the stadium carries an extension of the stadium’s external mosaic over the stadium seating bowl. The colors of the Club will also be seen in the soffit of the roof. The density of the colors reduces towards the inside edge of the roof where it blends into the sky. The roof enclosure is a lightweight translucent enclosure composed of colored polycarbonate panels fixed to the top surface of the cable net structure. Visually, the roof provides an architecturally lightweight presence above to the stadium. The roof is supported by an efficient two-way pre-stressed cable net system spanning across the large dimensions of the Camp Nou’s seating bowl. FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou Stadium, one of the world’s greatest football venues, is to be extensively remodeled. Following an international competition, Foster + Partners have been selected as the architects for this renewal of the stadium, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The stadium, already the largest in Europe, will be enlarged to accommodate over 106,000 fans, together with extensive new facilities including hospitality and public areas. A new roof will also be created to shelter the fans. The stadium will be enclosed by a brightly colored mosaic outer skin that wraps around the building and continues over a new roof. The multi-colored enclosure comprises overlapping translucent tiles in the club colors. The myriad of tiles can be seen as symbolizing the loyalty and devotion of FC Barcelona’s fans worldwide. The remodeled stadium retains the essential elements of the original Camp Nou, designed by architects Francesc Mitjans-Miró, García Barbon and Soteras Mauri, which was inaugurated in 1957. On match nights, the stadium will glow, providing a new architectural icon for the city. In the same way that FC Barcelona is ‘more than a club’, the new Camp Nou will be much more than a stadium.
Created by architect Giselbrecht + Partner ZT GmbH this amazing project is called “Dynamic Facade” in Bad Gleichenberg, Austria. In earlier times, facades were characterized by window arrangements and axes. They often featured surface relief with architectural elements from the relevant period or style. The structure of the facade also determined the ground plan; the greater the number of window axes in a room, the more important the function of the user. With the introduction of window strips, these hierarchies were abandoned. Today it is possible that the complete exterior facade is transparent, and this very transparency indicates a modern character. At the same time, individual requirements escalate and need to be reconciled with the desire for comfort.
Laetitia Delubac and Christian Félix have completed a holiday home and guest house in Siwa, Egypt. Here, quite isolated, the house was built with materials made available by desert, oasis and salt lake: mud, sun fired bricks, palm wood, reeds, red stone and salt stone.
Walls are built by local craftsmen with kershef, a traditional building material made out of mud, sand, and sun-dried salt harvested from the Siwa’s salt lakes. In addition to blending in with the surrounding natural environment, kershef acts as a natural insulator, keeping indoor air temperatures mild in both hot and cold seasons.
No electricity in the house. Niches have been installed within the thick walls in kershef to place candles. A spring spurting out in the bottom of the mountain, not very far in the south, irrigates the palm grove and continuously feeds the kitchen and bathrooms with fresh and healthy water, as well as a small pool and the basin at the centre of the peristyle intended for cooling the courtyard and adjacent rooms.
