Contemporary House with Clean and Simple Plan and Interior

Mike — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:54:04 +0000

This contemporary house has quite clean and simple plan that draws its inspiration from the unique site, consisting of dense canopy and unencumbered views of the surrounding canyons. Like the site, the house is composed of two distinct and equally appealing parts – private and public – that are defined by a thick interior wall running physically and figuratively through the length of the house and beyond. The interior is also looking very clean thanks to linear shapes, simple materials and carefully placed furniture. Although even being quite minimalist it’s also quite comfy. { Rockefeller Partners Architects | Photography by Douglas Hill }

Contemporary Mountain Refuge with Smart Use of Space in Extreme Weather Conditions

Mike — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:14:42 +0000

This house is designed by dRN Architects (Nicolás del Río and Max Núñez) and located in Farellones, Las Condes, Chile. It’s built on 140 square meters site in the middle of a slope, 7.5 meters below the level of the road. There isn’t a lot of vegetation at 2000 meters high but there are few trees around the house. The refuge is a monolithic volume of stone that hasn’t much window openings on the first level. Although the windows that are there frame beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The upper volume is almost transparent and serves as an access area that acts as a lamp during the night.

The interior is done in plywood cladding for a warmer atmosphere in the inside. The first floor has 4 small bedrooms, the second floor with consists of common space with four areas for eating, playing, sitting and cooking, and the third floor is for access and has enough space to store all that mountain equipment. The house is great example of maximum use of space in extreme weather conditions.

The Smart Home 2010 – Renovated Chicago’s Greenest House

Mike — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:45:58 +0000

The Smart Home is the Chicago’s greenest house located on the ground of the Museum of Science and Industry. It’s opened to public from 2008 but recently was renovated by Midwest Living. The home is designed to reflect the lifestyle of an empty-nester couple and features soft, organic textures and colors fused with a contemporary style — as well as unique green technologies for the 21st century. It shows that you can build the house that has great spaces for entertaining, a master bedroom that serves as a retreat, a whimsical nursery/playroom for a visiting grandchild and a functional home office on a standard Chicago city lot.

A highlight of the first floor is the wood and polished concrete dining room table, made by Chicago furniture designer Keelin Kennedy, from the wood of a 100-year-old bur oak tree that fell on the Museum’s property in 2009. Chicago artist Terry Karpowicz has also made a headboard, coffee table and three side tables from the tree for use in the home.

Upstairs, soft greens and blues symbolize new beginnings and renewed energy. The master bedroom and bath are designed as a personal retreat for the couple, featuring a bamboo bed with organic bedding. The master bath boasts a walk-in shower with gorgeous glass tile made from recycled wine bottles, sleek sinks created from recycled porcelain, low-flow showerheads and dual-flush toilets.

Throughout the home the lighting design by GE Lighting helps to expand the mood of the interior design. Bringing the natural lighting of outdoors in, using the newest Energy Star-qualified CFL and LED bulbs, gives the Smart Home up to 75 percent more energy savings when compared to incandescent bulbs.

If you want to know more about green technologies that was used in the house, visit its website.
