Futurist Architecture

The zinc roofs are painted in red while the wood materials are used to design the most parts of the bach, including the wall, the floor, and furniture. Some dark green tiles are applied on the bathroom shower wall and behind the small white sink. In the kitchen, a combination of wood and brick can create a traditional and rural atmosphere into the interior.

Dominated by wood materials for the walls, doors, and floors, the rooms inside this house are warm and also comfortable. The living room, dining area, and kitchen are placed in one big area inside the house. The dining area and kitchen are facing each other while the living room is located next to them. The interesting part of the interior comes from the black accents of the kitchen tile, dining chairs, stools, cabinet, TV stand, and also the mini fireplace.

Some materials for this project are chosen from the similarly appropriate pallet like local stone, corrugated iron, and timber cladding. Those materials are combined to create a good balance between the home and nature around it. The pallet dominates most of the wall parts of this home, combined with glass windows and doors.

The interior design in each room of this house can remind a comfortable living in a wooden house surrounded by a natural landscape of a village. In the dining area, a fireplace with an old-style is placed in front of the wooden dining table and chairs. And when the glass door opens, fresh air and warm natural light enters the dining space easily.

This project is built and designed to accommodate the vintner’s family and also provide them a building with a cellar door and cafe. The design comes in one singular form to create a linear progression of spaces. For this project, the architect gots NZIA Architecture Awards – Commercial in 2012 and NZIA Canterbury Architecture Awards – Commercial in 2013.

With a tilted stone base, a ‘new landscape’ can be designed in Wanaka House. This ‘new landscape’ is created by placing a glass and timber pavilion to provide the majority of living and sleeping functions for the client. It turns this house into a unique and also perfect place both to enjoy the view and having a peace of life.

The landscape of C3 House is a natural open area with a lot of long yellow grass. The residence stands on a small hill that facing a forest with mountains in the distance. With the design, plan, elements, materials, and this supporting landscape, the residence can be used as a perfect place to refresh body and mind far from the busy city.

Passive House is a project for Peter Reynolds, North River Architecture and Planning’s Senior Designer. This house also has a 9kW photovoltaic array on the roof, the main element to make this a Net Zero building has ability to produce more energy which is needed by the building itself annually.

This house has a perfect orientation to capture the northern sun and bring it to the rooms. Considered Passive-Solar design is made and combined with a highly insulated building envelope, including solar panels and double glazed windows to keep the home’s energy consumption low. The environmentally sustainable design becomes another key factor during construction.

This residence also has a facade with large open windows to capture the view of the street and city. It can create an openness sense from the internal spaces. A focal point is created by the contrast look between the black Scyon Axon and natural timber cladding. The outdoor room is defined by some pergola cantilevers over the deck area without impeding the space function and circulation.
