Contemporary Residence – latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically:

This property contains a bedroom, a workroom and a gallery for the two collectors’ art. It is designed by the interesting collaboration of Swiss architects and the world-famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei.
Fishing Lodge in Batak, Bulgaria – 18 May 2013
Design: Simon Gill Architects

The architect says “Our aim was to create an enchanted place that would resonate with the great natural beauty and rich culture of its location. We felt it essential that the house created a presence that connected both to the landscape and Bulgarian traditions, rather than just creating a mute abstract object standing as something ‘other’ in the landscape. And this included reducing the impact of the house on the surrounding environment as far as possible.”
Glass House, Hampshire, England – 15 May 2013
Design: AR Design Studio
photo : Martin Gardner
The owner’s love of glass fuelled their brief to construct a beautifully simple sculptural glass staircase and a contemporary glass extension, situated at the rear of the property in the space created by the ‘C’ shape of the building, which would open itself up to the garden.
Major Contemporary Houses added to this page:
Fish House, Sjngapore
picture : Patrick Bingham Hall
This modern tropical bungalow encapsulates the essence of living in the hot and humid climate of Singapore by creating open spaces which encourage natural ventilation and offer residents views to the ocean. The main design concept is to create a house which has close relationship with nature and this is achieved by having a swimming-pool linking the house with the landscape and ultimately visual connections with the sea.
Grid House, Brazil

Residential project “Grid House” – Casa Grelha – a house located in the ‘Serra da Mantiqueira’: a small valley was chosen, protected from the winds and close to the forest. Three main issues have guided the project conception: the demand for a single-story house, the wish to establish a direct relationship with the land and nature and also the need to provide privacy to the members of the family, with the main area located in one single building.
