The 300sq.m. house, which was originally designed to split into two units, consists of 4 bedroom and 4 bathrooms. The house’s entrance is characterized by wide steps passing by a pomegranate tree, planted in a specially designed niche.

Standing on the front door, one can see the house’s longitudinal consecutive rooms, floored with warm teak covering.

The vast living room faces the garden and offers extensive view over the nearby houses through its large windows. The wall opposite to the windows is covered with stagger white stone sheets.

The kitchen also offers nice view over the mountain, framed by a horizontal cut above the work plan.

The master bedroom is connected to dedicated bathroom through a translucent sliding door, which separates perfectly the two spaces.

In the rear facade, which is much more austere, are the balcony and the entrances to the premises in the basement – a gym, garage and technical offices.

In brief, Horizontal Space is a beautiful house with modern architecture virtues that managed to preserve the warmth and cosiness of a family home.

Modern House Design

Mount Baker Residense designed by Pb Elemental Architecture, located in the Mount Baker neighborhood of Seattle, this dramatic home is perched on a hill, high above the street. The design captures the territorial views of the surrounding rooftops with floor to ceiling glass and roof top deck.

The 3,600 sqft home includes four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a large open living floor with ten foot-tall ceilings and a two car garage with a 400 sqft roof deck above. Additionally, the home includes a separate, one bedroom apartment unit on the lower level, complete with a wrap-around patio.

The structure was conceived as the juxtaposition of three pure volumes, each containing a unique programmatic element. In turn, each element is clad with clear cedar, cement board or concrete to emphasize the massing.

kitchen interior

This contrast colors combination make the house’s interior design look more attractive. The textures also have the contribution to make this contemporary interior design live. It’s crashed but arranged so beautiful scene appears. Lake Placid Blue granite countertops contrast nicely with the high gloss yellow Tay exotic veneer cabinetry and colors taken from a Manuel Canovas fabric bring the overall effect into the family of abstract art.

House on the Mexican Pacific Coast

House overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Mexico, designed by Cadaval & Sola-Morales architects.

Details from the architects:

The main goal of the project was to create a low-cost and low-maintenance house that realised all the structural qualities of the material in which it was built to its full potential.

The design takes forward the idea of low-cost/low-maintenance, and applies this strategy to all the materials involved in the construction, while pushing to the limit both their technical and tectonic qualities: floor, windows, railings, etc., are done re-using materials that were previously used for pouring the concrete and for the rest of the construction process.

Perhaps, it is the space generated within inner and outer space what makes the house special. The house was designed to operate fully opened; it is then when the cantilever, this huge threshold, is fully occupied and becomes the central space of the house.

The house was awarded one of the 5 young architects honorable mentions (under 40 yr) at the Spanish Bienal of Architecture and were one of the 25th finalist including among others Nouvel’s Agbar Tower, Rogers’s Terminal 4, Miralles Santa Caterina Market or Chipperfield’s Americas Cup Building. We were also the youngest office awarded.

House 108

Architects: H Arquitectes – David Lorente, Josep Ricart, Xavier Ros, Roger Tudó
Location: Santa Cristina d’Aro, Girona, Spain
Collaborator: Felip Toledo, Technical Architect
Client: Steven Hind and Beatriz Escolano
Construction year: 2002-05
Constructed Area: 109 sqm

All of the openings have three fencing levels: adjustable shutters that guarantee sun protection in the summer and captures the sun’s radiation in the winter, a mosquito net which allows ventilation and protects from the insects, and finally, interior aluminum carpentry with a thermal bridge break and double glass with an interior chamber. The façade is built with ventilated double panes and an interior bearing wall. Hence we improved the insulation, the thermal inertia and air tightness; we minimized the thermal bridges and the possible condensations and avoided cracks due to the cross of the façade’s vertical plane with the suspended floor and the roof plane. The southern façade, with more sun exposure, has a natural shade: deciduous climbing plants protect it from the sun’s direct radiation in the summer and allows the sun to enter in the winter.

The roof has little sun exposure because it faces the north and is protected with vegetation. It is finished with zinc over a waterproof board with a ventilated chamber and interior insulation.
