| Hawkesbury Residence Capturing Views Of Wanaka Valley Posted: 22 Feb 2012 05:06 AM PST
Capturing the rural landscape of Wanaka Valley, the Hawkesbury Residence in Mt Barker, New Zealand, uses the landscape as an artistic, ever-changing art work as part of its architecture. Standing at the foot of the hill behind the property, the elongated shape of the residence allows all spaces to be flooded with the perfect amount of natural light. Los Angeles-based Marmol Radziner studio have completed this stunning 2,150 square foot residential project in 2011 and since then, the inhabitants have been enjoying the modern interiors and landscape beyond, framed by the roof line and cedar deck.
The interior program encompasses two volumes – social and private – connected by stairs. The volume containing the master bedroom and two additional bedrooms, the master and secondary bathrooms and two side decks sits slightly lower then the social volume. Here, a beautiful set of side-by-side fireplaces – one in the great room and the other one on the adjacent outside deck – provide relaxation and peaceful moments. All spaces are spread over one single story so that the interiors and the front side pool have unobstructed access to the landscape. Stone walls and timber details integrate the house in its surroundings, constructing the perfect home for its owners.

| Reshaped Residence Originated In An Abandoned Stable Posted: 22 Feb 2012 12:09 AM PST
Spain’s western province of Caceres is home to a perfectly adapted sculptural residence that originated in an abandoned stable. Estate in Extremadura by studio Abaton, with offices in Madrid, is a remarkable home that slopes down the hill to the south, capturing views of the valley below. This house is one of the milestones of Abaton’s permanent pursuit of innovation – it shows that creativity, great use of material and natural resources can revive an abandoned piece of land. Solid stone walls pierced by large wooden doors, vertical windows and glass walls shape a simple and modern structure.
Metal pillars were used to reinforce the building and allow the architects to reshape the natural light sources and rearrange the interior spaces. The former haylofts became the bedrooms and the open floor plan was designed to include the living / dining areas and two bedrooms downstairs and the rest of the private spaces upstairs. Two streams on the property provide electricity via small turbines and the water is diverted to a fountain found in the interior courtyard and further down to the storage pool in the back. With many beautifully simple details, the Estate in Extremadura is a reshaped oasis of natural elements.

| Sustainable West 21st House in Vancouver by Frits de Vries Posted: 21 Feb 2012 10:17 AM PST
West 21st House is a sustainable family residence designed by Frits de Vries Architect and located in Vancouver, Canada. Outdoor patios and gardens at every level define this home and ensure a good indoor-outdoor connection. Here is more from the architects: “Designed and oriented for passive solar usage the project also employs ultra high efficiency windows, solar hot water heating and a high performance heating / cooling system, including heat recovery that allow the home to operate with low energy consumption. The careful selection of appliances, plumbing fixtures, and lighting also reduce energy and water consumption. Interior elements, such as flooring and millwork, include recycled materials and low/no emission finishes. Planters on the roof reduce heat reflectance and rainwater runoff”. The interiors pay tribute to modern design and inspire openness and flexibility. Have a look!
