Yeta Cabin + Creative Space

November 11th, 2011



There are days upon days out of the year that I wish I had a hut like this. At the very minimum a secluded area far away from the main living space that could be my safe haven for establishing serene moments, would do. Growing up we had started building a cabin in the woods but unfortunately only half way completed it.

The hut shown here was built entirely out of wood and features a basic kitchen, bathroom and shower powered by a mini-photovoltaic system.

Galvani House by Christian Pottgiesser

November 4th, 2011



Architect Christian Pottgiesser transformed a pre-existing three story mansion in Paris, France into a much more interesting space powered by angles and a slight mid-century modern feel. The new house consisted of six spaces: entrance, cooking/eating/light, hosting/light, hosting/not being seen/light/garden, watching movies with friends, car. The urban garden serves as the upper skin of the concrete surface, containing the kitchen, dining area and garage. These are lit by two patios, jotting through the surface.

The power of three dimensional design proofed its right in a single amorph surface that structures all these complex demands. Linking the doorstep of the old building and the new entrance it stretches, curves and bends, adapting tothe program beneath, above and in face of it. From the street it’s acting in stealth mode, where the only element drawing attention is the few hundred tons weighing brick block, hovering above the garden and two glass walls, pierced by a preserved lime tree.

Front to Back Residence

October 27th, 2011


Though it looks like one large house, this is actually two. The architects faced the challenge of not only designing for a relatively small lot, they also had to design two small, affordable homes for two separate owners. The final result are these two back to back, three-story, contemporary homes harnessing a very welcoming interior.

Located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
