| Energy Efficient Single Family Home in Dallas, Texas Posted: 07 Sep 2011 12:44 AM PDT The UR22 Residence was designed by Vincent Snyder Architects and is a 4,000 square foot home located in Dallas, Texas. The clients’ brief requested a home that would provide a good indoor-outdoor connectivity. Moreover, they wanted a place that would meet their socializing needs and that would be suited for both small gatherings and large parties. Its exterior is truly imposing, making the residence stand out, especially during night time. Once inside, guests are welcomed by a generous open plan living room, with a bar, dining space and two relaxation areas. We particularly like the exposed wooden beams which add originality and warmth. Using just half the energy per square foot of a common home, the UR22 Residence was built with renewable materials. Moreover, the house features ground source heat pumps, rainwater harvesting and uses solar power. For a better understanding of the project, take a look at the sketches at the end of the post.

| Modern Residence With Scandinavian Design Influences: Corkellis House Posted: 06 Sep 2011 10:20 AM PDT The Corkellis House was designed by Kathryn Tyler of Linea Studio and is located in Cornwall, England. The residence has a modern exterior, which makes the transition between the outdoors and the living space quite smooth. The interiors are very welcoming, featuring ingenious furniture items and surprising decorating elements. According to the official description, “Kathryn designed a Scandinavian-inspired Eco-house to fit into this extremely limited plot. Although built from quite conventional materials, the house itself is far from normal. With a white painted brick ground floor, and a lightweight timber frame first floor, this cubist shell provides the interior designer a chance to show off her flair inside, with cleverly designed zones and beautifully displayed vintage Danish furniture."
