Project: UC House
Architecture: Daniela Bucio Sistos
Photographer: Dane Alonso & Mariano Renteria Garnica
Location: Morelia, Mexico.

“The architectural design arises from the concern to create a project with certain spatial ambiguity between the interior and exterior and that could sometimes be imperceptible. The UC project is a residence in which all the interior spaces are in direct contact with the micro-environments generated inside the house. The project was always thought of as a walkable residence, that when walking through it, the change of textures and scales would make it space away from the ocularcentrism and more linked to a sensitive interaction with the user. Contemplative and silent spaces” say the architects.

The Villa has 5 bedroom en-suite for the main family building and then, taking advantage of the natural slope of the plot, the architects created in another level under the pool, a guest pavilion named “Batukaru Suites” with another 3 bedroom en-suite, all with individual and private pools and terrace.

This house in Aarhaus, Denmark, was built for the architect himself. The wooden helical staircase in light tones contrast with the slate on the facade, bringing this project an elegant and minimal look.

Designed by Luciano L. Basso and photographed by Manuel Sá, Casa Fortunata, located in Caxias do Sul, Brazil, is a perfect example of integration between nature and architecture.
“Regarding the designed forms, the geometry simply rests on the ground. We designed a silent architecture that maintains a frank dialogue with nature; either through its opaque walls that in the harsh southern winter are confused with the fog; either because of the way that the forest is reflected in its glasses in the days of blue sky” tell the architects.

Project: Crystal Lake Pavilion
Architecture: Marc Thorpe Design
Renders: Truetopia
Location: Roscoe, NY, USA

Here is what the designers have to say about the project: “The Crystal Lake Pavilion is designed to be used for meditation and yoga classes as well as group therapy. The pavilion is a site-specific work, embracing the surrounding natural environment through its all glass skin and structural transparency”

Project: Ilulissat Icefjord Centre
Architecture: Dorte Mandrup
Photographer: Adam Mørk
Location: Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, Greenland.

“The UNESCO-protected Icefjord area carries 4,000 years of cultural heritage and is essential for understanding the climate crisis. An understanding, the Icefjord Centre aims to support. The aerodynamic form is now visible in the landscape, where it is designed to minimize snow build-up while framing the views towards to fjord. The curved form is created by geometrical different steel frames, creating a double-curved roof. The framework of the building is covered by a gently sloping, curved wooden boardwalk. It embodies the starting point of the World Heritage Trail and acts as a gathering point, informal seating area, and a viewing platform – offering a spectacular, undisturbed view of the Sermermiut Valley and the Icefjord” say the architects.

Fascinating products by antoniolupi. The flourishing landscape grows in the most intimate spaces of the house and the transparency of the Cristalmood projects the objects into the forest. Boundaries dissolve, indoor and outdoor compenetrate in a delicate game of reflections, shadows and materiality that reconnect us with Nature as a primordial and generating force.

Project: Farouche Tremblant
Architecture: Atelier L'Abri
Photographer: Raphaël Thibodeau
Location: Lac-Supérieur, Quebec, Canada.

“Set against Mont-Tremblant National Park, and nestled within the Devil’s River valley, the Farouche agrotourism site offers a singular and unique concept for the Laurentians region of Quebec. Making the most of the natural and untamed qualities of the territory of almost one hundred acres, the project combines a #Nordic #farm, a café-bar, four-season micro-refuges, and an outdoor basecamp. On the north side of Chemin du Lac-Supérieur, a #barn serves as the headquarters for the farm activities. The route that leads to the small organic vegetable farm goes through the tunnel greenhouses, flower fields, and fallow land. The hiking trails begin behind the agricultural building and allow visitors of the Farouche site to explore the mountains of the Devil’s valley”, say the architects.

Project: Reconstruction of harbor bath Knubben
Architecture: Snøhetta
Visualization: Aesthetica Studio
Location: Arendal, Norway.

“Originally designed by architect Ketil Ugland, the facility was used by Arendal Swimming Club for diving competitions, swimming training and other aquatic activities. In 1947, the harbor bath closed its doors before being taken back into use during the 1960s, this time as a jazz club. With its slender and clean lines, Knubben was a small yet elegant example of the modernist spirit. After substantial decay however, the diving platform was demolished by the Norwegian Armed Forces in the 1980s. In 2018, Snøhetta was commissioned to revitalize the facility with a feasibility study. The new Knubben is a man-made structure with architecture that draws inspiration from the shapes we find in the islets and skerries along the Norwegian coast. It will resemble a block of stone shaped during the Last Glacial Period, characterized by abraded shapes where soft concave and convex walls form cavities in the landscape. To represent the terrain as accurately as possible, the construction will consist of horizontal layers following the contour lines of a map” say the architects.

This texture on the walls went really well with the project’s context. The rounded contemplation space, right below the skylight and right aside the pool makes this space so peaceful!

Project: Iceland House
Design & visualization: evoquelab in collaboration with Charlotte Taylor
Location: Iceland

The glass windows allow the home owners to have a 360° view of the landscape. And what is interesting about this project is the contrast between the mountains and the house’s metal cladding, one which changes colors according to the sunlight. That makes the house look completely inserted and connected to its surroundings.

Mishel House is located in Mexico, in Zihuatanejo on a hill more than one hundred meters above sea level, so it has very privileged views of the Pacific Ocean.

“The house has three levels that are staggered, adapting to the topography of the land. Therefore we created some volumetry that generated movement and play on the facades integrating very naturally into its natural context. The house is accessed through the intermediate level where the living areas are located, the user can descend to the ground floor where the bedrooms are or go upstairs to the studio”, tell the architects.

Designed by SKOLNICK Architecture + Design, Vertical Loft is located in the heart of the Greenwich Village historic district in New York City. With interior design by STUDIO VOLPE and photography by Thomas Loof, this project called for the complete renovation of a five-story, 1830’s townhouse.

“To extend the experience out to the garden and up to the sky, a dramatic four-story wall of glass envelops the back of the house, joining the interior to nature through views out to the rear garden and the existing mature plantings that were protected throughout construction. By carving out the earth at the garden level of the home, we created a seamless connection to the rear terrace. On the roof, we created a new penthouse space that similarly connects to a terrace garden”, tell the architects.

In-caved areas are ‘negative’ spaces. They result from severing and removing part of the rock. This rough feeling of a natural cavity was what we aimed to recreate with our choice of materials and color palette. Stone, exposed concrete, wood and metal are used with precision to create coarse inner shells”, tells the architect Iliana Kerestetzi

Project: Residential Building in Uperaustria

“With our latest residental building we propose new ways of living that react to changed values ​​of conscious lifestyles. The different apartment sizing is going from 60m² up to 120m² for the penthouses. Each flat comes with a huge terrasse and a real planting area in every floor, the penthouses are directly connected to a roof garden. The building forces the idea to give people a real alternative solution to single housing, which is one of the biggest problems in terms of land resources” says the architect Peter Wimmesberger.

Designed by the studio HGAA and photographed by Duc Nguyen, Greenery Curtain House is located in Mao Khe, a growing area of ​​urban and economic construction of Quang Ninh province, Vietnam.

“The house has a main floor and a small space above for reading and worship. From outside to inside, through the red brick wall is a layer of green trees covering the house. There are many layers of vegetation such as shade trees, shrubs, and creepers that hang down from the roof, forming a cover, preventing dust and urban noise. The main spaces are arranged around an inner courtyard in the middle of the house, creating a peaceful, quiet radial space, separate from the outside city”, tells the architects.

Designed by Laurent Troost Architectures and Gabriela Belfort and visualized by Studio F Visual, Casa Sombra is located in Manaus.

“Casa da Sombra is a house using a double concrete wall to protect from the sun while allowing for tropical plants and trees to grow in the shaded cuts and voids of the concrete block”, tell the architects.

Yoga House is designed and visualized by Obriy.

“The interior of the yoga house is very simple and minimalistic, so it’s very easy to mediate when there is nothing to distort and minds just float through the clean lines of the space. We believe that there is always something more behind visual simplicity. Big windows with incredible views allow visitors to feel themselves as an organic whole with nature regardless of activities”, tell the architects.

Mague House, designed by Mauricio Ceballos X Architects Mauricio Ceballos Pressler, is located Malinalco, Mexico, and photographed by Diego Padilla Magallanes.

“Starting from the pre-Hispanic cultural context, and the predominant connection with nature, the concept is based on the Mesoamerican worldview, where trees have a ritual meaning. The roots symbolize the connection with the underworld, the trunks the earthly human life and the cups the connection with the Gods. To emphasize this idea, the project is divided into three levels: the first one, a mirror base that gives continuity to the natural terrain and the roots of the trees, and allows the main volume of the house to give the sensation of floating; then, the living space, all on the same level where everyday life occurs; finally, the natural outer cover formed by the foliage of the trees”, tell the architects.

The one-story house called our attention to due its elegance and minimalistic selection of materials: #stone, concrete and wood. The project was designed to be integrated to the lake. You can even see the reflection of the terrace on the water, making it look like it’s floating.

Inspired by the materials, colors and elements of the Alps nature, we have combined the traditional techniques, used in the construction of alpine houses for many centuries, with the new technologies. This allowed to create a traditional, but at the same time modern, unique and timeless style. Warm colors, elegant wooden surfaces, natural materials and expressive interior elements - all to create an atmosphere of comfort and relax after a long exciting day in #nature”, say the architects.

Hacienda Sac Chic is located Acanceh, Mexico, and photographed by Marcelo Troché

“The proposal is synthesized in a geometrically simple volume in contraposition to the “organic and eclectic” architecture characteristic of the end of the nineteenth century that distinguishes the old house of the Henequen hacienda, where the guest house is located. The spatial typology of a typical “main house” of a Yucatan hacienda is recreated”, tell the architects.

Stunning composition of textures gives this project a very raw and welcoming feeling

Designed by studio akamá, Casa Bonet is located in Port Andratx, Mallorca, Spain, and visualized by BergaGonzález.

“Casa Bonet displays a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The concept of the house is not only to use sustainable materials but also to reduce its ecological footprint as far as possible”, tell the architects.
