Big Small House Compact House in Los Angeles Favours Floating Volumes

Big and Small House is a project designed by Anonymous Architects in Los Angeles, on a hillside. The house, looking like a robust box, despite its small appearance, is quite spacious. The architects chose not to divide the space in rooms but to create a comfortable feeling of breeziness, embracing the lack of boundaries. We’ve got one main floor that accommodates the kitchen, the dining area and the living room, without making you feel swallowed by the cluttered space.

The upper floor is dedicated to the master bedroom. The surprise element is “the hole in the ceiling”, perceived as a windows that connects you to the celestial environment. You can enjoy spectacular views, just like when you lay on the grass and watch the shimmering stars. The house is not settled on a plain lot of ground, which provides different levels of heights throughout the house. “The free plan of the site mirrors the free plan of the house because the house does not actually touch the ground – givng full access to enjoy the garden and the views outside the house”, except the garage and the entrance itself.

Farmhouse L Shaped Countryside Home With Both Rustic And Contemporary Nuances

We bumped into this 17th century countryside farmhouse on Trendir and we thought of sharing the project with you. A more contemporary section was added to the existing house, creating a comfortable and spacious L-shaped living space. Both pavilions were built from red bricks, enhancing the feeling of the authentic rustic atmosphere. The more recent added section respects the line of tradition but it also brings modern nuances, such as wide floor-to-ceiling windows and a rounded arch-like rooftop. The Hawthbush Farm is in act a 140 acre organic farm, located in East Sussex, away from the dusty crowded urban streets.

For those seeking for a full English rustic experience, this is it: “the farmland provides rolling wildflower meadows, ancient woodland, cattle, sheep, chickens, streams and arable land.” The extension came as a request. The owners wanted more space, without destroying the supremacy and the authentic beauty of the original farmhouse. Mole Architects, the studio responsible with completing the task, simply added a section that allows a better air and light circulation. The new wing blends with the pastoral surrounding, offering a unique living experience (especially at the upper floor where you see how the semi-circular roof works impacts the interior). The house is surrounded by a stunning site, with emerald green vegetation.
