photo : Marcel Briaire
The ground floor was raised with respect to the current ground level, with large glass surfaces positioned to look out over the rural landscape and terraces running the length of the building with an unbroken roof surface on corbelling, all of which allow the outer space to be experienced to the full. At the same time, the large roof projections are designed to prevent too much light entering.

House GEPO, Wijgmaal, Belgium – 27 Aug 2013
Design: OYO – Open Y Office

photo : Tom Janssens
The garden is the living room, the small lake the bathroom. The kitchen you’ll find next door. OYO chose for a minimalistic approach, omitting fancy details. There is no need of ornament. This and others choices result in a low budget home that sticks perfectly to the basic idea of living, functioning very open minded.

House in the New Forest, Hampshire, England – 20 Aug 2013
Design: PAD Studio Architects

photo : Nigel Rigden
The ‘New Forest House’ is set within a stunning 18.5 acre plot, located adjacent to ancient woodland and heath, in the New Forest National Park. The new building has been carefully conceived in order that the proposals minimise the impact on the site and its sensitive surroundings.

House on Rue St-Christophe, Montréal, Quebec, Canada – 9 Aug 2013
Design: NatureHumaine

photo : Adrien Williams
This project was done in collaboration with the client who wished to build his own home. The site is located in a back alley of Montréal’s Plateau neighborhood and the design reflects the patchwork of extensions and renovations typically found in Plateau alleyways. The constraints of the site called for a house that was built upwards versus outwards. Four boxes clad in different materials are stacked one on top of the other.

H House, Sóskút, Hungary – 5 Jul 2013
Design: Budapesti Mühely

photo : Tamas Bujnovszky

Design: Vanguarda Architects

photo : Eugenio Valentini

House in Altos del Sol Closed Neighborhood, Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires, Argentina – 28 May 2013
Design: Vanguarda Architects

The house, developed in one floor, combines the different rooms inside an architectural box made of stone walls, masonry and glass. The front contains the first stone volume, which includes the master suite. A horizontal glassed window located at the floor level, de-materializes this stone wall and connects the master suite with the exterior.

House in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil – 28 May 2013
Design: Denise Macedo Architects Associates

photo : Gustavo Xavier
The house should harmonize two important needs: large area in brickwork walls for the exhibition of the arts, and facades with glass so that the external landscape could be seen in the House. Thus was created a gallery of 14 meters deep, and double height of 6 meters high, offering a display area of 190 square meters.

House eR2, Zapopan, Mexico – 27 May 2013
Design: em-estudio

photo : Ivan Esqueda

Located on a plot of 7000m2 the total area of the house is 1000m2. The house was designed to give a sense of balance of the water element and the owners love for yachts, which after all was the inspiration for this project.

House of Silence, Shiga, Japan – 21 May 2013
Design: FORM + Kouichi Kimura Architects

photo : Kei Nakajima
This house is austere and quite impenetrable – the facade materials give it a heavyweight appearance and there are minimal openings. You could say it is an unfriendly building, but inside there are a variety of strong interlocking spaces making for a dynamic introverted architecture.

House in Bozen, North Italy – 20 May 2013
Design: monovolume architecture+design

Design: José Alfonso Quiñones Ríos

photo : Erick Reyes

SAOTA Architects

photo : Adam Letch
The clients required a four bedroom home for their young family, the design of which had to encapsulate all the qualities of luxury open-plan living while still providing a homely environment. The practicalities of the site – steepness and town planning restrictions – were key initial drivers in determining the parameters available.

Design: Kidosaki Architects Studio

photo : 45g Photography
This is a bold new Japanese house that juts out over a steep slope. Many houses lie parallel to slopes to capture views from a long elevation, typically from a relaxation area such as a terrace, lap pool or balcony. The architects here have thrown convention out the window and decide to twist their house and push it out into the air, an unusual step.
