Spirals of the Nautilus by Calico Studio
| Lana | Share: |
This original studio designed by Calico represents a separate extension of the main dwelling house. Architects had no limits by working under the project except one requirement: existing trees had to be left untouched. The unusual form of the studio was inspired by Nautilus: the spiral shell originates from the human growth and turns into semicircular roof. To make an effect more natural the special materials, that are reminiscent of ancient cathedrals, were chosen. Whilst in order to keep a complex shape and to apply a high resistance to water OSB was defined as the best material. The studio has a simple layout just like a studio should have. An open space and small gallery on the first floor, which can be reached using a simple metal ladder. As the result we can see the original construction, in the functionality of which there can be little doubt.

| Lana | Share: |
This house (‘Hafner’) in southern Germany with a total size of 180 sqm is located at the end of an alley facing the beautiful forest and valley. The building was designed for a couple with a requirement to organize an independent area for guests. Achieving the goal became possible due to the slight remodelling of the topography with a difference of 3 meters height. As a result the house was divided into two parts. One part for guests (‘extroverted area’): cubic-shaped glazed area with kitchen and dining room. From this opened for seeing area offers a beautiful view of the forest and valley. Whilst the other, private part (‘introverted area’), is hidden from view. There are bedroom, bathroom, dressing room and a library are located here.

MO House among the Trees by FRPO
| Lana | Share: |
This home on the outskirts of Madrid was really difficult work for architects – FRPO (Rodriguez & Oriol Architecture). The main complication of construction was that the MO House had to be built amongst the trees. The difficulty was increased by the difference in height of levels in the natural landscape. As a result, the construction consists of simple forms, woven with each other around the trees into complex geometry. As for material, at the beginning there were some poor technical solutions with using of steel skeleton and concrete slabs. Then it was found that the lighter system assembled in a more accurate manner would be more appropriate. Finally, a cross-laminated wood panel by KLH was chosen as main material. The wonderful design solution allowed the nature to remain intact.

‘Distort house’ in the South of Jakarta
| Lana | Share: |
This house is located in the south of Jakarta, Indonesia. The name of the house is ‘Distort house’, because of its unusual form. Nature of the surroundings – it is a lush and tropical forest. There are some old big tropical trees just in the front part of the place where house is located. To leave vast green area, the house was built close to the back part of the place and twisted in 15 degree. So this design features is not the idea to attract attention by the extraordinary appearance, it’s an interesting designers’ (TWS & Partners) decision to open a more huge front space striking back as view and beautiful view.
