Lubelso Home, Victoria, Australia – 21 Aug 2013
Design: Canny

photo : Shannon McGrath
Lubelso’s Premium Double Storey Contemporary home was selected from the Lubelso Range for its broad appeal and suitability to the location. The modern, contemporary design was commensurate to the surrounding built form whilst making a subtle statement with its distinctive elegant lines and evident attention to detail. The home sits proudly amongst other grand homes in the area and thus, enhances the streetscape.

Jamberoo Farm House, near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia – 19 Aug 2013
Design: Casey Brown Architecture

Located on the edge of the coastal escarpment south of Sydney, the site enjoys beautiful views of rolling green hills and a distant panorama to the sea. The clients brief sought a new country residence with private guest accommodation and large entertaining areas. A microclimate of heavy rains, strong winds and western sun had to be addressed, coupled with the need for the new works to sit comfortably within the established character of a complex of existing buildings.

Kew House, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia – 19 Aug 2013
Design: Nic Owen Architects

photo : Rhiannon Slatter
The design solution by Nic Owen Architects resulted in little change to the overall footprint, consisting of the removal of a late rear extension ‘meals room’ and replacing it with ‘the claw’. Aptly named by the owners the new family-room embraced the sloping land reaching up to the rear raised garden.

Kloof 151, Clifton, Cape Town, South Africa – 25 Jul 2013
Design: SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects

photo : SAOTA
The client’s brief was for a family home with a guest and a ‘work-from-home’ wing spread over two levels. The home was not only to enjoy the dramatic views of the Clifton beaches, but also to engage with the natural fynbos on the slopes of Lion’s Head to the North.

Levin Residence, Arizona, USA – 11 Jul 2013
Design: Ibarra Rosano Design Architects

photo : Bill Timmerman
The sun’s path and the client’s goals of having no steps combined into a design that needed to lift up off the ground in order to satisfy everything for which we were asked. Positioning the house to face the slightly east of south (the ideal solar orientation) means that the floor starts tangent to the earth on the east end and remains level as the land slopes downward, leaving the floor floating above the desert.

Landscape Villas, Ruurlo, The Netherlands – 2 Jul 2013
Design: Uri Cohen Architects

Due to the delicate location of the 2,200 sqm yard in the entrance to the new neighborhood in Ruurlo and the historical monumental farm behind the location, the municipality has announced an architectural competition. This scheme is based on the ambiguity of the location; on one hand it is a sequence of large objects on the edge of the neighborhood and on the other hand it is a part of the neighborhood of one family house.

La Selva Show Villa, Catalonia, Spain – 14 May 2013
Design: Studio RHE

image from PGA Catalunya
Overlooking the perfected landscape of the PGA golf course we described a simple arced line in the landscape. This line of local Catalan stone creates a strong visual and structural anchor throughout the site for the contemporary house design, as sculpture in the landscape.

Laternser Valley Mountain Cabin, Austria – 1 Apr 2013
Marte.Marte Architects

photo : Marc Lins
This is an intriguing rectilinear building, a rather pure retreat, dug into an Alpine slope. The boxy form is simply expressed and its light-coloured palette lets it merge into the snow in the winter months. The small tower is constructed from rough concrete but inside it is ‘warmer’ with various elements made from wood, notably the solid oak window frames. The two levels of the building are connected by a spiral staircase.

House in New Plymouth, New Zealand – 20 Mar 2013
Design: Saunders Architects

photo : Mark Harris
Situated up a long driveway far from the road this home is in a private setting surrounded by trees and with a beautiful distant view towards the Tasman Sea. The owners’ brief called for a large two storey home that was “different” but functional and easy to live in.

Lucerne Classic Car House, Auckland, New Zealand – 1 Nov 2012
Daniel Marshall Architects

photo : Emily Andrews / Ernie Shackles
Sited on the edge of the ancient crater that embraces Orakei Basin with extravagant views to inner Waitamata harbour and Auckland city. The brief for Daniel Marshall Architects was very specific, with garaging a number of classic cars a primary concern.
