Traditional Family House Made of Sandstone Project DG in Spain

 DG House is a residential project completed by Iñigo Esparza Arquitecto in Navarre, Spain. House looks traditional, boasting two volumes made of sandstone. Surrounded by a fence on which plants can climb, the house features a private terrace and a porch for lounging and relaxing. In the hot summer days, a cold drink and a book is all you need to keep your soul happy. Ground floor of the house, accommodating the kitchen, living room and dining room, was envisioned as a unified social area, encouraging interaction and activities of all kinds. It’s airy, well-lit and most important, connected to the porch and the adjacent public garden.

 “Towards the main facade, a stripe containing the service area, laundry and garage ensures the privacy of the house. The volume of the first floor holds the night-area, with three bedrooms facing the garden (south-west) leaving the dressing-room and bathrooms towards the main facade. Finally the basement contains a multi-purpose space and the facilities room.” The back of the house offers a little bit more privacy to the residents. A swimming pool landscaped with local plants was also part of the plan.

3-Storey Modern And Luxurious House With Timeless Design

This amazing house by Finnis Architects in Brighton East, Australia, is a modern 3-storey house with one floor excavated. The underground floor has a garage and utility spaces, while the upper floors are dedicated to the day and night areas. The day area is strategically situated on the ground floor, so that it can blend in with the outdoors spaces situated at the same level. The outdoors space is very important in the layout and it consists of focal points. One of them is the small patch of lawn, very carefully landscaped. The interior is modern and luxurious, lots of light and wide open spaces with smart accents look great.

 House on the Hill was recently completed by architect Jose Orrego of Metropolis, a Peru-based studio. The modern approach for this 950 square meter residence reminds us of Casa Casuarinas in Lima, featured on our website a while back. As its name hints, House on the Hill takes advantage of a wonderful location in Lima, with expansive views opening up towards the city below. The unconventional modern glass facade is flanked by white walls and  uses wood and stone for a more distinct appearance.

Surrounded by nature elements, the massive crib makes for a great city escape. Diversity is the key attribute for this contemporary home design: “Although this project has many different languages, themes and spaces, we managed to find a a way to create harmony. By extensive use of glass, the environment is also integrated in the scheme and many different elements can become one“. Enjoy the virtual tour and let us know what you think!

A Wonderful Retreat in Austria by Hohensinn Architektur

Hosensinn Architektur designed House M, a wonderful retreat in the picturesque region of Bad Aussee, in Austria. The inspiring fresh landscape and the imposing mountains guarding from afar compliment the neat appearance of this dwelling. An interesting blend of rustic and contemporary, the house connects the inhabitants with the outdoors, at all levels. Openness, tranquility and transparency play a key role in compiling a harmonious living environment. The sloping plot determined the structure of the house, with the living areas on one side and the terraces on the other.

 The best thing about this place is that it has a positive effect on the inhabitants, charging them with energy. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to explore the outdoors from the intimacy of the living room. “The concept of openness and enactment of the outside area are thus made tangible and intensified throughout the building. The delicate façade design is completely of wood, albeit continuing fragmentarily in front of the glazing and thus creating the semblance of a filter.”  The breeze of the countryside can be experienced from every single corner of the house.
