The gracious bridge links the Butter factory Art Gallery and the main city street. The building consists of two curved pavilions.

Modern architecture has to find its methods not by reference to traditional forms and materials. The architecture of our time must exhibit positive attitude to the natural environment. The green architecture house designed by a team lead by Professor Werner Sorbek has become one of energy efficient houses in Germany. This experiment green building was built in December 2011. Its sustainable energy source of solar panels and huge insulation provide high sustainability. The energy from solar panels is used not only to produce electricity but also to heat the water for the heating the floor of the house. There are a lot of sensors and automatics that make the system controlled and effective. This project in fact represents a future green architecture building. And the experiment shows how efficient housing can get.

 Mary | Share: |
We have already reviewed a lot of projects of white house design, that always look fantastic and modern. This time we are going to describe an unusual house with original black exterior. Architects from Boetzkes | Helder presented a draft of VDVT House, modern home in the Netherlands. This residence is a prime example of that departure from accepted standards in architecture is not only possible but necessary. The shape of the house resembles a box with specially coated black aluminum facade that reflects sunlight and changes color. The inner design of the mansion is decorated in minimalist style with use of contrasting light colors.

Luxury design by A-Cero – House 10 in Madrid
 James | Share: |
We have recently reviewed the contemporary house design by A-Cero, which was built quite recently. The following house is another masterpiece by this famous Spanish studio. It refers to the end of 2008, when it was built in Madrid’s La Finca residential area along with many other unique houses, all designed by A-Cero. This huge house features sweeping light concrete exterior with sharp edges, making it look generous and even larger than it is and giving the contemporary feel. It would probably look unwelcoming and cold, if not the careful and well-thought design of the surrounding landscape and outstanding illumination, making the house shine like a gem at night. The interior complements the extraordinary architecture, at the same time providing the diversity of styles for different rooms, depending on their purpose.

Contemporary house design by A-Cero: La Finca II
| James | Share: |
This house is one of 30 houses designed by A-Cero as part of the La Finca 2 residential area. Their common idea is to integrate with hilly green surrounding landscape by Casla. The area is very scenic, with neat lawn, bushes and lakes, and the house’s exterior unites seamlessly with it. This luxurious house has seven bathrooms with separate baths and dressing rooms, dining room, office, kitchen and foyer. Materials picked with no compromise to exactly fulfill the designer’s ideas in construction, confirm project’s top class and yet make it resistant to the climate of the area. The interior is just as expected – worked until the last stroke and each of its detail proves that this house is really the state of art.
