Beautiful House on the Island of Krk
 Lana | Share:  |
This house in a picturesque area of Krk island, the northern part of Adriatic, was built as a vacation home for three families: parents and two children’s families. Located next to the sea, the house oriented mostly towards the beautiful seaview. The facade of the house smoothly transitions into a pool area, connecting it with a sleeping area on the ground floor. On the top there is a living room overlooking the best view. It has an outside space due to the house construction: the lower part of the house is larger than the upper part so there is an outside area for enjoying the fresh air. The outside spaces consist of an open terrace and covered one. All the rooms in the ground are connected in an atrium. The large windows-walls make the rooms wider and enable enjoying the beautiful views. The architects of the house are DVA Arhitekta.

| Lana | Share: |
This site in Sungmam, Gyeounggi-do, (Korea) is not suitable for house bulding because of inclined and irregular form of the land. But architects (IROJE KHM Architects) have found a way to build here a wonderful beautiful house. They have adjusted the shape of the architecture to the shape of the site. The complex use of the house as an working place from the one hand and a living place – from the other have predetermined its construction: the building was separated into upper layer and underground layer. Inside there is a skip floor system which produces the visual and spatial continuity. There is one more wonderful decision – to build on the open space in each level the floating bamboo garden which provides an unusual impression.

This extraordinary house designed by Spanish architect Victor Lusquiños is situated in the most appropriate place for the house of such design – on the beach. The levels of the house smoothly flowing into each other and reminding the rapids of the waves, very naturally fit the surroundings sea.

T-house in Tokyo by Hiroyuki Shinozaki
| Lana | Share: |
This T-house, located in the centre of Tokyo, was planned especially for a couple (designed by Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects). Extraordinary design and chaotic arrangement of the rooms is very suitable for people who don’t like commonness. There are some holes in the walls and floors to connect the rooms together. The very top level has four holes in the floor which give the room a cross-shaped layout. Small ladders connect rooms and a staircase with shelves inside leads up from the studio on the ground floor to the dining room. Inside of one of the holes there is an area for study, the ceiling of which is used as a desk on the floor above. Many of lamps of different height hang from the top to illuminate every room. General view of a house gives the impression of rather open and free space, maybe not enough secure for free movement inside, but very peculiar and interesting.
