Software Designed Moebius House by Tony Owen
This contemporary house is unique in many ways because it was modeled using the more environmentally involved micro design. It was created by parametric software that considered dozens of parameters. The unusual architecture is a response to the requirements to provide privacy from the neighbors and at the same time let in as much light as possible and encompass the views of Sydney Opera and Harbour Bridge. The name of the house comes from the moebius strip, the mathematical surface looking similar to the house’s external shape. shape The complex geometry of this house required the unusual construction process too. It would be extremely hard to build the structure like it is as a usual building – from basement to the roof; the Moebius house was assembled the way the car would be. The metal panels were exclusively manufactured on China and applied to the pre-built steel frame.
Australian Architecture – House 6 by BKK Architects
This huge contemporary house is located on the semi-desert coast of Australia’s Western Port Bay. It’s driveway faces a rather concise facade with sloping porch which gives the feeling that this house was created out of a hill. But this expression changes as soon as the one steps in. Extensive inner spaces frame wonderful views of the sandy flat and the ocean to the north from the house. House interior echoes with it’s outside look, in some ways sacrificing warmth to the practicality and contemporary look. However the wooden elements of decor and the fireplace in the focal point of the house make it a little more welcoming.
