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.

The modern geometric home, designed by Santa Monica, located in Los Angeles, California. The modern geometric home is composed of a collection of daring folds, sharp angles and various volumes connected on the 10,000-sq.-ft. property. This contemporary design based Tighe Architecture incorporates a number of buildings, which are structured around a private central courtyard that invites the outdoors into these modern living spaces. From the outside, this cool house is characterized by its unique folded roof and walls. Windows, seemingly scattered about the facade, were strategically placed to frame the fabulous views. Inside this two-storey home, the details are simple, and simply impeccable. A soaring focal wall features cut-outs that echo the home’s windows, with a skylight at the top as its crowning glory. The finishes are minimal yet luxury, like the rich wood floors, and the gorgeous kitchen featuring warm woods and cool stone tiles, enclosed in a wall of windows with a pool-side walkout. A guest house and pool house are mirror images of one another. The modern geometric home [via] luxury home

log home with green touch This style goes through the same footing preparation, but that is where the similarities end. While this type of foundation wall is not completely non-porous, it is much denser than the concrete block used in block foundation walls. With the addition of the waterproof sealer on the outside, you are looking at a very tight, virtually waterproof foundation wall. It is the common choice of many homeowners and home design experts.

Tree House designed by Sander Architects, located in Wilmington, Delaware.From the heart to a quiet forest in Wilmington, Delaware, this contemporary tree house was admittedly a labor of love for architect Whitney Sander of Sander Architects. With a rushing stream at its feet, Tree House features a spectacular spiral staircase, running up the front of the home, past the modern Juliet-inspired balcony, and the expanse of glass that forms the front facade. The home’s very vertical construction places the master bedroom and living at the top, among the trees, with a rooftop deck as the most luxurious crowning touch.More about Tree House Design [via] modern house design.
Beach House in Wood, designed by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects, located on California beach. Contemporary California beach house is a striking, stand-out design among the rocks and sand of its beachfront property. Two prominent volumes clad in wood and lined with windows can be seen from a distance, protruding from the structure’s main body, resulting in nooks of wind-sheltered outdoor living spaces with Pacific Ocean views. “This beach house replaces a beloved William Wurster house that burned down on the site”, according to Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects. “The client requested we design the new house to capture the spirit of the original house, while meeting all the current seismic codes and FEMA requirements for houses in high-risk coastal zones, which included raising the floor level of the house.” Interiors are too clad in wood, giving them a warm, relaxed, “beach house” ambience. more about Beach house design [via] modern house design
The four equal sized boxes are built as simple wood construction covered with corrugated metal panels on the outside and wood and gypsum panels on the inside. The floor plan is based on the needs of a traditional country house. Only partially the organization of the rooms is a direct consequence of the rigid outer form. The Living Room focuses on the different light conditions needed for an existing and future art collection, while the great view into the nearby countryside is present without being dominant. The sequence of the different rooms reflects the idea of a private gallery. Natural light is coming into the spaces through the openings in between the outer boxes.
