Metallic columns support a net of inox ropes where plants have started to climb in order to generate a volume equally important to the house’s prisms. When the plants are grown the green screen will be penetrated only by the black central column of the concrete shelter.

This is a residential house located in a new development site in Takarazuka, Japan. Because of the solid nature of the ground, we decided to make a building only by putting a roof over the sloped terrain without modifying it.

New Residential Properties : Q-R

Key Contemporary Houme Designs alphabetical:

Red House, Oslo, Norway

photograph : Nils Petter Dale
The site for the house is a former garden on the east bank of a heavily wooded river valley. The building is placed perpendicular to the stream, to heighten the dramatic potential of the setting and to avoid obstructing the view for the house beyond.

Redelco Residence, California, USA

photo : Marvin Rand
In 1994, the architects began work on the project and while in construction the owner, due to circumstances beyond his control, halted all construction of the project. The client asked the architect if it were possible to alter/remodel the partially constructed house, which was a remodel/addition to a 1970s ranch style house, into a project that fit into current zoning and structural codes.

River House, Jamaica, Virginia, USA

The River House is a weekend retreat located on the Rappahannock River in Virginia. Sited on a preengineered and cleared site, the 3500- square-foot house marks the intersection of three landscapes: natural forest, wetlands, and a mile-wide river.
