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.

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.

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.
