Glass House????





Modern Glass House Frames Luxurious Features by Hillery Priest Architecture,

Remuera, a quiet suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, is the home of this contemporary, glass house – a modern beacon among its natural surroundings. This sleek design by Hillery Priest Architecture features expansive windows outlined by bold frames that punctuate their contemporary, geometric shape. The window walls seem to float beneath a vast angled roof, and held together by a balcony that runs the perimeter of the house. A large outdoor deck area overlooks the pool.


This modern architectural marvel boasts five bedrooms and five baths, spread out among spacious, open-concept interiors that, like the view from the exterior, bring focus primarily to the windows. But when not peering out into nature, the eye roams across tall angled ceilings, warm woods and rich details throughout. This modern home is currently on the market, listed with Bayleys.

Wolfe Avenue Residence!!!





Here is example of city house vancouver,

City House Vancouver at 1098 Wolfe Avenue is the first major project to be completed in Vancouver by Measured Architecture [project lead: Clinton Cuddington MAIBC].

The Wolfe house has many sustainable design features, and is an excellent example of the firm’s commitment to high-performance buildings. A green roof, permeable site paving, infiltration rain gardens and native landscaping result in less than a 1% increase in storm-water runoff from the site.


There is extensive use of daylight in the project, and natural materials are used throughout. A geo-exchange system with a ground source heat pump dramatically reduces the energy required for heating and cooling by using the latent energy stored below the earth’s surface to treat the air.

The primary goal of achieving a sustainable design agenda without drawing attention to that action and undermining the vision of minimalism and graceful execution of the parts is key to the architects’ perceived success. Measured Architecture has adopted the 2030 Challenge which seeks to dramatically reduce the energy used by it’s buildings.

House Design in the Garden by Cunningham Architects in USA





House Design in the Garden by Cunningham Architects in USA

House design in the Garden that located in Dallas, Texas, USA was designed by Cunningham Architects collaboration with the Hocker Design Group, who has received an Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects for their work on the home’s landscaping. The House in the Garden is a free-standing addition to an elegant modernist house design on an adjoining lot. Several existing Red Oak and Elm trees were incorporated into the home garden design, whereby both lots contributed to the formation of a larger garden en masse. A minimal plant palette creates mass plantings used for large textural impact and screening for privacy.

A modern two story box, the house design is clad on three sides with a rain-screen system, utilizing Ipe hardwood that will weather over time to a silver-grey sheen. The south façade is glazed in frameless, insulated glass units incorporating two 8 foot wide sliding glass doors. A 14 foot cantilevered roof protects this façade from the harsh Texas sun while serving as a porch to the glass-tiled infinity edge swimming pool. A small water feature cast into the concrete deck provides subtle noise to eliminate any distractions from beyond the garden walls. Large stone slabs become “connectors” throughout the garden, and provide transition from the street to the home design. These organic, sinuous pathways culminate and encircle a fire pit. There is a guest bedroom and painting studio on the upper level. Downstairs, the concrete floor and exterior deck provide a seamless transition from the living room to the garden. The modern house design in the garden provides ample space for part of a larger collection of art and automobiles.

At 5250 square feet, the House in the Garden is barely discernable from the street as it is discreetly set back to the rear of the lot behind a stainless steel mesh and recycled glass privacy wall. Illuminated from within, the glass wall gives no indication of the urban oasis behind it. Photographs: James F. Wilson & Gisela Borghi
