Contemporary sustainable house design......

The Infiniski Manifesto House,

The Infiniski Manifesto House is a prefabricated building of contemporary sustainable house design was designed by Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano, James & Mau as architects and designers. The Infiniski Manifesto House that located in Curacaví, Chile, is not only green home design, it is cheaply and quickly. The modular home is composed of two 40? shipping containers and two 20? containers. The wooden pallets that used on the home exterior gives it fantastic texture, but also has purpose, they provide shade and allow the home design to be naturally cooled, since air can move freely between the slats. The containers meanwhile, are completely weather tight and provide the necessary structural capacity for the green home.






Infiniski designs and builds eco-friendly houses and buildings based on the use of recycled building material, re-used building material and non polluting materials and the integration of alternative and renewable green energy. It tries to think the values of architectural design and construction differently, a contribution to the needs of our changing environment. For Infiniski Manifesto House projects, James & Mau offer innovative and contemporary designs based on bio-climatic and modular architecture.

The sustainable interior design at the Infiniski Manifesto House is airy and open due to a large living space on the bottom floor created by the placement of the containers. What seems like inexpensive storefront windows are used as the walls, which can be slid open to naturally ventilate the sustainable house design. There is also a folding screen to create a covered outdoor porch or shade the interior from the sun when folded down. Geothermal heat pumps also help provide heating and cooling. The green house design pictures was taken by Antonio Corcuera.

Butler House Design by Andrew Maynard Architects in Australia

Such a nice house,







This building is a concept of modern urban house designed for the young family and boisterous young boys. Located in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia, the Butler House was designed by Andrew Maynard Architects is vertical and architectural pinnacle, fills the void that effects so many inner-city dwellings and a lack of outdoor space. This warehouse apartment consist a rooftop terrace with a difference and complete with canopy and grass.

The Butler House was a tricky project to approach. The defined nature of the boundaries meant a creative approach had to be adopted in order to make the most of what was available. The result is an adaptable home design that will grow and alter over time, just as the family will. Butler House designed to reduce sound transmission, but not to a point of isolation. A very open, vertical path of stairs allowed sounds to travel to all corners of the home design, where their path aided by ubiquitous reflective surfaces in steel and concrete.

Where the rooftop pod sits, atop the vertical spine, it sits within the home existing structure. The existing roof structure was simply cut at the collar-tie and refashioned in a manner, minimising steel use, to allow a bedroom for the rooftop pod – a bionic upgrade of sorts. A trafficable glass floor on the roof, next to the spiral staircase, allows a visual connection and solar access to the living areas below. The effect of the newly- penetrated light throughout the three-storey apartment cannot be downplayed. Again, the adjustable louvres and blind help control the light admittance.

The dark, Butynol clad roof of the pod responds in size and pitch to the neighbouring rooflines, but affords residual spaces to either end, open to the sky, with glimpses to the city skyline beyond. The turf covering is both practical and playful, bolstering tension against the adjacent corrugated tin. With doors wide open, the continuity of turf well and truly blurs and line between interior and outdoor. The kitchen functioned, defined and connected. The overhead joinery was added for further storage and as a point of connection to the living space beyond. Incorporated was the spiral staircase from above, tying it into the architecture design of the space.

The existing mezzanine floor was somewhat of an acoustic pitfall within the house. Used primarily as a rumpus room for the children, it’s openness was at times detrimental. The challenge was to cordon off the space to use as a bedroom, without obstructing the all-important windows. The solution came in covering the gap between wall and floor in playful joinery, whilst a cavity to allow light and ventilation to the living room below. The joinery not only successfully dislocates the spaces, but becomes a bed, storage, robe and table. To the other side of the room, in-lieu of a dumb wall, oversized sliding doors offer acoustic and thermal isolation when needed.

Upside-Down House by Daniel Czapiewski in Poland

Upside down house????



The upside-down house in Poland took 114 days to build the structure, a typical project made by Czapiewski’s corperation which specializes in wooden houses, would normally take 21 days to construct. Daniel Czapiewski remembers that his workers had to take an hour’s break every three hours while working inside the house because they were feeling disorientated and confused from the strange angles of the walls.



The upside down house is not the first unusual structure made or devised by Czapiewski. He is infamous for making the longest single piece of wood in the world – a Guinness World Record. Czapiewski also smuggled a complete antique house out of Russia. The house was built by Polish detainees sent in their thousands to desolate regions of Siberia by Russian Tsars in the eighteenth century. Because of its age, suspected to be over 240 years old, the Siberian house was officially an antique and therefore illegal to export.



A Polish businessman and philanthropist says he has built this upside down house to remind people of wrongdoings against humanity. The house has been attracting thousands of tourists. People visiting the house start to feel sea-sick once they are inside. “Mankind spoiling this world, and only mankind can fix it…”, the owner of this new wonder said. The house took 5 times longer to build than a normal house.

Modern Design

Nice House with green technology,






This green home was designed by Edward Suzuki Associates Inc. with modern design concept that adapted from traditional Japanese design vocabulary. The House like a Museum is one of the International Architecture Awards for 2009 The Best New Global Design that located in Kamakura, Japan, a five-minute walking distance from the railroad station, sits in a commercial and residential zone. As such, the neighbouring houses and shops encroach upon the site rather closely, so much so that from the start the idea to ‘look out’ from the property was abandoned, an instead ‘look inward’ approach was adopted.

Since the client-owner had a vast amount of art collection and wished to display such art in the new green house design, the theme ‘House like a Museum’ became the design generator. The theme ‘Go in to go out’ was applied to the design of this sustainable house design and the rectangular silhouette of the green home design was pushed to the boundary limits of the 776 square meter property in the center of which was placed a 15-meter diameter circular patio. The thrust of the planning was to allow each and every room to face and to have a view of this central garden.

Finish material for the exterior is basically diatomite over exterior insulation, while for the interior it is predominantly Japanese stucco-paint for walls and ceilings and either bamboo laminates or limestone for the floors. Bamboo laminates are used for all built-in and movable furniture as well, the reason being bamboo, in contrast to wood, grows much more rapidly and hence more eco-friendly house.

In the same vein, much effort has been made to borrow from and apply the wisdom of traditional Japanese sustainable green design, such as the ‘Engawa’ (peripheral corridor) that fuses or separates as required the inside and the outside, ‘Tsuboniwa’ (tiny patios), ‘Hisashi’ (roof overhangs), ‘Tsuufuu’ (cross ventilation), selected use of evergreens and non-evergreens and roof gardens for extra geothermal insulation. All these are ‘passive’ means of applying natural energy efficiency instead of ‘forced’ mechanical methods expending unnecessary green energy.

Farm House Design by JVA in Toten, Norway

What a nice farm house....







This is a small house for two historians and their children, overlooking lake Mjøsa at an abandoned farm which they have inherited. The existing old house in the yard is not insulated and used for guests and storage. The existing barn has to be torn down because the main load bearing construction is rotten. However, the cladding of the barn, more than 100 years old, is still of good quality and now used for exterior cladding and terraces of the new house. Some of the old planks are cut with a varied with at the root of the tree compared to the top. These diagonals are used to adjust the horizontality of the cladding towards the sloping lines of the ground and the angle of the roof. The spatial complexity, exposed construction, and material simplicity of the barn has also inspired and informed the new architecture in a wider sense.

From the main entrance to the south, the interior organization has a dual focus, both opening the whole facade towards the lake to the north, and at the same time stepping the central space downwards to the terrace at the west side of the house. The series of common spaces at these sloping axes are visually connected, opening the full length of the house. Above, there is a children’s loft, below the parent’s part of the house. The main section rises towards the south to allow for the low winter sun to enter the building. The glazed and lofty winter garden works as a heat collector at winter time, and heat buffer for the rest of the house at summer time.

Hill House......

Nice House Design with the view of San Francisco Bay,







The Sherman Residence was designed by Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects, LOHA Architects is located in Mill Valley, California, USA, on a south facing hillside on a ridge overlooking the upper Tamalpais Valley and San Francisco Bay beyond. The complexities found in the natural landscape and topography of Mill Valley, with its spiraling movement of folded planes and steep hillsides, established dynamic conditions critical to the direction of the overall architectural solution.

Complexity came in the tethering of the house to the hill. The primary level, which houses the main public spaces, is visually anchored to the site as it bends in plan along natural contour lines. Simultaneously, the Sherman house cantilevers over the precipitous incline, its main floor supported by horizontal steel beams. The beams attach to the rear house wall, reinforced for additional strength. In the rear, the house stands on steel columns with diagonal bracing embedded in concrete foundation beams.

A composition of floating rain screen wood skin and smooth troweled plaster are innovatively used on the exterior skin to further articulate the geologic conditions of the surrounding valley. The upper volume folds in section and in plan creating a dynamic dialogue with the main level. This level houses the glass walled master bedroom suite that has panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay.

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.

SurfHouse

Nice Beach House ideas,

The Surfhouse was designed by XTEN Architecture is Californian house design in Hermosa Beach, California, USA. The Surfhouse’s architectural concept maximizes space, light and views while also creating a sense of privacy and retreat for the owners, a young couple, on a busy beachside street. The Californian residential architecture, Surfhouse sits like an abstract block of weathered wood a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean in Hermosa Beach Property. The site is incredibly small, subtracting for setbacks leaves an allowable building area that is only 23-feet wide x 29-feet deep x 30-feet high.

The facade of Surfhouse by XTEN Architecture is made from rough sawn, black stained cedar planks with volumetric openings at primary program spaces and a system of identical 2? x 5? casement windows arrayed across the secondary elevations for specific views and ventilation.

The Hermosa beach Surfhouse interior is all light and air, with bamboo floors and walls of glass that slide away to bring the beach side environment inside.

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

Facts you need to know about house/home

Here's definition about house from wikipedia,

A house is a home, building or structure that is a dwelling or place for habitation by human beings. The term includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to free standing individual structures.[1] In some contexts, "house" may mean the same as dwelling, residence, home, abode, lodging, accommodation, or housing, among other meanings. The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, though households can be other social groups, such as single persons, or groups of unrelated individuals. Settled agrarian and industrial societies are composed of household units living permanently in housing of various types, according to a variety of forms of land tenure. English-speaking people generally call any building they routinely occupy "home". Many people leave their houses during the day for work and recreation, and return to them to sleep and for other activities.
