Australian Kew House
August 10th, 2011
Vibe Design Group aimed to embody the 1950s and 1960s modernist style into this house. The spaced timber battens for the outer walls and on the underside of the roof’s overhang give the house uniqueness. The house is just beautiful; they even managed to get some Barcelona chairs for downstairs.

Refurbished Swiss Alps Shelter
August 8th, 2011
The ultimate creative getaways are found high within the Swiss Alps. This refurbished swiss shelter is located 6069 feet up in the Herens district. It was originally used as a shelter for livestock but in 2008 Personeni Raffaele Schärer Architects transformed it into a peaceful holiday residence.
The foundation was redone in sanded concrete instead of just stacked stone as before. In addition to the modern interior, solar panels were added outside to help provide electricity throughout the residence.

Kanagawa Adventure House
July 28th, 2011
This house located in Kanagawa, Japan was designed by Shun Hirayama Architects. To start the design of the house, the architects defined what they would want from the view and location. Of course they would utilize the overlook of the city and sea, but also they positioned the house based on the nearby road. The kitchen and dining space were the closest to the road while the living room and bedrooms were positioned to look over the city.
Once the shape of the building had taken form, the architects began to create the interior spaces. The walkways and lofty staircases are really two of the things that make up the interior of this space. The wood finish of the walls on the inside really gives the house a beautiful, uplifting organic feel.

House on Turtle Creek
July 27th, 2011
The House on Turtle Creek was initially built in the ’70s by Dallas, Texas architect Bud Oglesby. The original house had become aged and it badly needed renovation. Larry Speck—also a Texas architect—stepped in to bring this renovation to life. Sand blasted limestone and Almondria wood pull the house together both inside and out.

Apolo 11 House in Santiago Chile
July 24th, 2011
Aside from this house being naturally beautiful because of its placement in a grove of elm trees, the structure of the house really pulls together the idea of transparent-to-nature modern living. Inside the house it feels warm like a cabin. A cabin that you’d retreat to for a weekend and have several cups of hot cocoa while sitting on the couch conversing. Unfortunately for myself this would be a distant vacation cabin because of its La Reina, Santiago, Chile location.

German Cafe Pavilion
July 22nd, 2011
German architects Martenson and Negal Theissen created this pure and visually secure pavilion. What made me want to post this is the reflection of the surrounding trees in the glass. It makes me wonder how long it will be till we see more buildings like these in the forests so not to interrupt the visual flow of nature.
Tokyo Green Restaurant
July 20th, 2011
Surprisingly this interior space is a restaurant based in Tokyo, Japan. At first glance it looked more like a very well designed interior of a home. The architecture and interior firm Sinato designed this 1,200 sq.ft space to feel natural, intimate and that feels refreshing. Perhaps the most enjoying part is the subdued color palette created by the wood structures and the luscious green plants.

Wieden + Kennedy Portland Oregon Office
July 17th, 2011
International advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy transformed an abandoned warehouse into their new world headquarters. The office holds several hundred employees and multiple organizations. The building was redesigned by Allied Works, a Portland architecture firm.
Allied Works renovated the building with a new concrete interior and multiple new storys. The existing timber-frame structure was also renovated and helped push the accenting of wood structures throughout the interior of the building. If you ever get a chance to tour the office, do it. There are neat specialties throughout the office. Perhaps the most unique being “The Nest”.
Temporary Italian Fincube
July 13th, 2011
Sustainable and transportable houses are increasingly popular. The temporary Fincube house is entirely made of local wood from the land and minimizes its CO2 footprint by using long-lasting and recyclable materials. The Fincube also moves to different locations after a certain period of time which gives the previous house location a chance to replenish. Did I mention that it’s in Italy as well?

Skate Study House
July 6th, 2011
As a skateboarder and bmx rider growing up and having built ramps in my parents’ basement, I can really appreciate what was done with this house. Ever since coming across previous houses with transition-like walls I’ve really wished someone would progress an interiors design further.
The house installation was created by Gil Le Bon De Lapointe and Pierre André Senizergues.

Canadian Glass House
July 5th, 2011
This kidney-shaped Glass House was designed by Canadian architect Andrew Reeves. The house is built between parking lot and a 40 foot drop to one side. The north-facing glass wall allowed for a large amount of light to stream in, warming the houses interior.
