Taller Héctor Barroso designed the beautiful Guanabanos House in Mexico. What strikes me about this house is the “thirds-style” composition of the front of the house and throughout some of the interior.

Malibu, California has some of the finest homes. This home in particular was owned by Dick Clark and is currently for sale.

The Mary Lake Residence is located in the Village of Port Sydney Pontario. The home was designed by Toronto-based firm, Altrius Architecture. Overall the home is a welcoming mix of “homey” meets modern. I imagine the home is quite comfortable in the winter. Shared via Freshome.

Casa Mecano in Costa Rica
March 28th, 2012
RoblesArq designed this home in the Osas Peninsula of Costa Rica. The home has a very interesting interior ventilation system.
House Mecano is a body composed of a structure, a skin and a mechanism to adapt to their environment. The Concept of the residence arises in the use of passive strategies through bioclimatic design in synergy with an automation system that controls the appropriate levels of natural ventilation through open window systems and a pulley system that alter the position and inclination of the eaves manually, promoting thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The goal will be to maximize function in the smallest space possible.

The Corallo House in Guatemala City is the work of the amazing Paz Arquitectura team. The house’s beauty and design feels entirely natural even though it embodies such a modern aesthetic. From the balcony to the stairs and then to the integrated living room tree, everything about this house is magnificent. Shared from Contemporist

Chemosphere Residence by John Lautner
March 9th, 2012
John Lautner is by far one of my favorite architects. This house titled Chemosphere was built in 1960 and is now owned by Benedikt and Angelika Taschen. The is perched high above the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and has gorgeous open views. To get to the house, you take a funicular (rail-car) up the hill from 100 feet below the house.
As with John Lautner’s other works, my main interest in this home is of course the use of wood, but also the asymmetrical structure.

The whole home feels like an ultimate place of creativity and zen year round.
