New Properties 2006 – 2013

10 Oct 2013
Villa Escarpa, Praia da Luz, Algarve, southern Portugal
Design: Mario Martins

photo : Fernando Guerra (FG+SG)
This beautiful new residence is located near the village of Praia da Luz, in the district of Lagos. A condition of the planning permission was that the new house be built in the same space once occupied by another building.

9 Sep 2013
Zagorje Cottage, Kumrovec, Krapina-Zagorje County, northern Croatia
Design: PROARH

photo : Damir Fabijanic
The pre-existing traditional Zagorje cottage is situated on the green slopes near Kumrovec and was structurally and statically in poor condition.

22 Aug 2013
Villa S, Upper Austria
Design: TWO IN A BOX Architects

photo : Simon Bauer
The villa is L-shaped and aligned to the south-west featuring generous glazing to the porch in front of the house and a garden with water areas. The light hill-side location, the expanded ground floor facing the street and the carport form a generous forecourt and entrance hall.

20 Aug 2013
Wind Vault House, Singapore
Design: Wallflower Architecture + Design

photo : Jeremy San
As the brief was substantial, the overall form of the house needed to be pushed to the envelope limits. Conceptually, the house design by Wallflower Architecture + Design is a raised reinforced concrete tube whose open ends are oriented in a general north-south direction.

20 Aug 2013
The Wall House, Singapore
Design: FARM, Architects

photo : Bryan van der Beek and Edward Hendricks
This is a tale of two houses – similar looking, yet independent and coming together to form a coherent whole. The two blocks sit on a sprawling piece of land, belonging respectively to the retired parents and one of their children.

26 Jun 2013
Villa 4.0, Naarden, The Netherlands
Design: Dick van Gameren

photo : Pedro Kok
The principle guiding the architects for this new intervention was to create a house that is sustainable and to reinstate the lost relationship between the house and the landscape. The first step was to preserve as much as possible of the existing house, limiting both the amount of waste and of new materials.

Valongo House, Porto, northern Portugal
Design: CNLL

17 May 2013
West Lake Hills Residence, Austin, Texas, USA
Design: Specht Harpman

photo: Taggart Sorensen
On a densely tree-covered site in the Austin, Texas exurb of West Lake Hills, Specht Harpman was tasked with the renovation and expansion of a modest 1970’s house. Much of the original internal structure was maintained, but the alterations sought to erase all visible traces of the original house.

4 Jul 2013
Weekend House, Kovagoszolos, Hungary
Design: Borsos Ágnes

photo : Akos Matetelki
The capital element of the architectural concept was to keep in respect that scale of order, while adding the natural terrace system to its functions of today’s life complements. Modern materials were used, with the aim to ensure sustainability; the substances were weatherproof and time resistant.

4 Apr 2013
Villa W, Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany
Design: Ian Shaw Architekten

image from architect
This white, monolithic house will reside in a suburb of Frankfurt. From the street this modern property will appear impenetrable, so delineating a clear demarcation between the public and private realms.

31 Jan 2013
Zero Energy House, Lokeren, Belgium
Design: BLAF Architecten

photo : Stijn Bollaert
The allotment creates a condition that is both generic and specific, context and non-text. The house deals with this condition in an apparently indifferent way, whilst in fact it is questioning the allotment.

20 Jan 2013
W house Thailand
IDIN Architects

photo : Spaceshift Studio
As a house, the function areas of living room, dining room, and service are supporters for the private areas of bedrooms. The bedrooms are like the boat which the river is supporting underneath for sailing.

16 Oct 2012
Whale House, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Design: Atelier Reza Aliabadi > rzlbd

photo : borXu Design
The Whale house is another spatial experiment by rzlbd, a monochromic contemporary manifesto that evolves around a central detached box painted in red standing free inside a three storey height foyer. The building appears to have swallowed the box symbolizing the contemplation space inside the spacious jaw of the whale that swallowed Jonah.

10 Oct 2012
Winged House, Singapore
Architect: K2LD Architects Pte Ltd

photo : Patrick Bingham Hall
A private family residence situated on a uniquely shaped triangular plot, the Winged House frames the site with two prominent forms – the trapeziums. These forms open towards the main view at the back of the site where 3 existing majestic palms are, and of lush greenery.

4 Sep 2012
Villas Isla de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
CMV Architects

photograph from architects
The construction consists of a cubic volume that is placed in the plot in order to release surface in the south zone where the swimming pool is located. Open spaces are designed, with great openings to the outside based on the orientation to the sun.

3 Aug 2012
V4 House, São Paulo, Brazil
Architecture: studio mk27 – marcio kogan + renata furlanetto. Interiors: studio mk27 – diana radomysler

photograph : Nelson Kon
With each new project contemporary architecture is forced to optimize spaces and use the maximum of each square meter of the site. V4 House is a rare anti-example. Its occupation of the land is very far from the maximum coefficient.
