Design, Interiors, Photos

Emma Architects have designed the restaurant Aan Zee in Oostvoorne, The Netherlands. The restaurant provides day and evening service, as well, the building displays information about the surrounding Dutch countryside and facilities for outdoor sportsmen. A wooden wall rises up from the sand dunes and curls up to a watchtower. The wood is layered and in small parts mounted on the facade. It is exposed to the elements and will weather beautifully to blend into the surroundings. A glass façade ensures light and views. A third wall is concealed in the dunes and is formed by a series of buried shipping containers.

Getaway Squish Studio by Saunders Architecture

Design, Extreme Architecture, Photos

Architect Todd Saunders designed the Squish Studio a beautiful getaway. The Squish Studio is located just outside the small town of Tilting on the eastern end of Fogo Island. First settled in the mid-18th century, Tilting is known for its strong Irish culture and its recent designation by Parks Canada as a National Cultural Landscape District of Canada. The Squish Studio’s white angular form, sited on a rocky strip of coastline, that could rival Italy’s western coast, offers sharp contrast to the traditional vernacular architecture of the nearby picturesque community of Tilting. As its architect, Todd Saunders, has commented on the studio’s siting, “…it is out of sight, but close.” The approach to the front entry of the studio is dramatic, as the most southern end of the studio rises twenty feet above the ground, in sharp contrast to its most northern tip that measures only half that dimension.

Undulating Modern Lecture Hall in Germany Built on a Limited Budget

Design, Extreme Architecture, Interiors, Photos

When commissioned to build a new lecture hall for the Technical University Munich, Germany, architects Deubzer König & Rimmel Architekten came up with a creative and visually appealing solution. This undulating modern building is a result of a 9-month planning and building period, on a budget estimated at just 60% of regular building costs. According to the architects, “the almost square building contains two lecture halls with 479 and 288 seats. They are separated by a corridor which provides the access for handicapped people and the speaker. The foyer, the bathrooms and the technical facilities are situated below the seating. The main accesses for the lecture halls are the two staircases and the first floor corridor“. The most striking element of this project is the black, undulating facade, built with rough cut spruce planks and added an interesting visual effect when exposed to natural light. Find this design approach suitable for a learning edifice?

Design, Interiors, Photos

Sharon Neuman Architects & Oded Stern-Meiraz collaborated in the development of House N, a modern residence located in Yehuda, Israel. Stretching over a surface of 260 square meters, on a lot of 500 square meters, House N stands out due to an interesting architecture detail: a tall brick wall, painted in white, that shelters the building on the street side, ensuring a high level of privacy. A floating deck on the first floor leads the way towards the main entrance, through a long gap in the external wall. The concept for the house was inspired by the work of minimalist artist Walter De Maria entitled Gothic Shaped Drawing and displaying a basic one line two-dimensional shape of a house, almost as if drawn by a child. The interiors are spacious and highly modern-have a look! [Photography by Elad Sarig]

Later, this double program was changed and refurbished as National Museum of Science and Technology using the whole area.

Extremely Shaped Under the Moonlight House by Giovanni D’Ambrosio Architecture

Design, Extreme Architecture, Interiors, Photos

Giovanni D’Ambrosio designed the Under the Moonlight house in Mount Hotham, Australia. Architects wrote about this project: The Project tries to integrate itself in the site through use of materials that have been used before and that are part of local historical background. House’s shape resembles typological archetypes used by country-men and cowboys that lived in the area. Stone, wood and metal are materials used for both structure and construction of the Project. The House have been designed in order to comfort seasonal stay, both during summer and winter, of inhabitants and to let them appreciate as much as possible natural environment surrounding them. This has been done through placement of many glazed frames that grant wider external views. This is the idea I [Designer] wanted to base the project upon: treat interior and external spaces as if they were the same thing.
