Futurist Architecture

The main part of Berghütte Oberholz consists of some wood portals located in the untreated spruce, supporting the spatial geometry which is very complex. The facade of the exterior is designed with gray larch wood, cladding as a building reference to the constructions of the local ancient stable. From the distance, the exterior of this building also looks interesting especially with the use of gray wood for the roof.

The architect uses few materials to reach the goal project of this house. Using folded concrete envelope, the main volume can be defined geometrically. The dividing walls are designed with integrated furniture made from wood. There are also stone walls, built from some pieces excavated stone around the house area.

The old stair in Cubo House has been removed and some of the salvaged elements also have been fashioned into a beautiful chandelier. A new lof bed is made to provide a fun bedtime for the kids. The new staircase can connect all levels and create a voluminous entry foyer. It becomes a new heart of the house that can bring the new (deliberately modern) rear and the restored old front parts together.

LL House has the same sectional shape that can be found on the west and east parts. The vertical shift of this house can provide a rich spatial sequence and natural sunlight too. The main room is designed by using the east part which is higher than the west part. This room can have a good benefit to get a better light and mountain views.

The new environment around this house becomes very interesting because of the Pettanko House design. This house can be a model case for local consumption from the local production, remembering how to use the source wisely. The customization of this housework with the terrain height differences, wind, light, snowfall, and orientation are the important parts to create that new environment.

The architect uses local production for local consumption as a building theme to give a good understanding of how important the energy reduction is. It is also about maintenance of the forest, so the architect enters a mountain forest with a builder, a forester, and a client in Hakone, starting a careful selection to harvest some trees. Those trees will be the beams and columns of Sasameza.

In order to create a harmonize with the landscape and rustic atmosphere around the hotel, the design of the wood houses is made with a contrast to the existing village buildings around. Woodhouse Hotel also blends smoothly with the landscape because of the facade that made from a carbonized wood that has an awesome texture and color.

From a distance, Laurel Canyon Boxhouse looks like a wooden box that beautified with a glass surface. This home has two floors that surrounded by a large part of glass walls. The ground floor is used to design some entertainment rooms like living room, dining room, and kitchen. The bathroom and bedroom can be found on the second floor, easily to be accessed by a wooden staircase.

The main goal of designing this Australian cabin is about creating a space that can maximize the awesome vistas of the hill around the cabin site. It also can create a good place to refresh and inspire all people who stay in this cabin. It becomes one of the best escape places in Australia to step away from the urban busy environment.

The main concept of this project is about designing an inspiring and dynamic residence which is different from any other residences in Chile. Casa Hualle becomes a Chic Nomad’s modern retreat for all people who come to Chile. Both the interior and the landscape can provide a truly comfortable feeling at the same time.

The design of Bolton Residence is inspired by the classic gable roofed barns that can be found in the region of the site. The result can create a simple silhouette, showing a rural atmosphere through the contemporary touch a zen-like neutral palette. This rural atmosphere can be made by using some special materials such as grey and steel, pure black accents, and also contrasting pale wood.
