House in Zagreb by DAR612

2013-01-02T21:23:00-05:00

This family house with a pool, located on a gentle slope, is designed as a juxtaposition of two elements – a primary longitudinal wing with white finish, and a perpendicular element covered in dark wood coating. A T-shaped floor plan enables maximum south and west orientation, as well as views from both levels. A two story-high entry divides the house into two segments connected with a wooden bridge: the east segment is a secondary space with a garage on the ground floor and children’s area on the first floor; the west segment contains the main living spaces and parents’ quarters on the upper floor. The pool, separately located above the living room, is visible from the rest of the house. The stairs and the bridge, designed as a steel structure with wooden cladding, make the core of the house, which functionally connects the spaces, creates the dynamic flow, and visually unifies the interior.

2013-01-01T08:45:00-05:00

The apartments are part of the hotel and entertainment complex located in a picturesque corner of the pine forest in the Poltava Oblast. It is a separate building consisting of two separate rooms with a common guest hall. Main elements of ‘chalet’ style used in decoration were realized in modern fashion. Location of the separate complex in an ecologically clean area had its bearing on the selection of principal materials, such as stone and wood.

Restaurant in Singapore by Design Spirits

2012-12-25T21:31:00-05:00

The Nautilus Project is located on the fourth floor of the ION shopping center, where opened recently on the Orchard Road, Singapore. The great strategy of the location has brought them lot of benefits as the floor composite of sales, drinks and food. Besides, the entrance of the restaurant is flanked on one side by an oyster bar and on the other side by displays of delectable dessert and trays of fresh crustaceans on ice.

A certain concept of the design, chef, design and location have been prepared by the food consultant from the beginning had caused me difficulty in leading my own ideal interior design. However, the owner is the president of the cargo company and her beauty made me decided to reflect her sophisticate, elegant plus the tender characteristic to this restaurant project.

Tantangan Villa in Bali by Word of Mouth

2012-12-24T22:08:00-05:00

“Villa Tantangan” is a single family residence located in Nyanyi Beach, a private and secluded beach on the west coast of Bali. Overlooking the Indian Ocean to the west and a natural river system to the north, the layout of the villa attempts to capture these spectacular views wherever possible, and really connect the interior spaces with the natural environment. The remote “off the grid” location of the villa required the implementation of several ‘green’ initiatives, to enable the villa to operate self-sufficiently.

Restaurant in Budapest

2012-12-21T21:37:00-05:00

The base for the design was a high headroom 250 m2 space partly encompassing the inner court of the more than a hundred years old building. The most spectacular of the restaurant is the guest area, it can sit 40 guests, with its great glass portals it allows us to take a look inside. From the street we can see the cross-sectional view of the restaurant, through from the wardrobe, which is hidden behind the SICIS mosaic wall picturing a city view of New York, until the bar. Before entering we can take the pleasure by seeing the collection of chairs and tables from Tom Dixon, the red bar chairs designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and the classic lights by Artemide Tolomeo unusually placed above the leather benches.

Modern San Francisco Home

2012-12-20T22:12:00-05:00

The Glen Park Residence is a shining example of respectful modernism integrated into an established San Francisco neighborhood. The steeply sloped, compact site combines many of the challenges of infill development. A balanced massing, responsive to neighboring properties, promotes transparency, light, volume, views and outdoor space.

Villa in Mauritius

2012-12-19T22:24:00-05:00

The construction of concrete, wood, stone and thatch roof nestles perfectly among the existing natural mangroves at the edge of the bay.

Seaside Home in New York

2012-12-17T20:45:00-05:00

An existing non-descript structure, perched above the crest of the dune between the ocean and bay, was thoroughly transformed. We utilized clearly defined volumes, simple, durable, yet elegant materials and details instilling a strong connection between the indoors and out.

Modern Home in Austin

2012-12-16T22:40:00-05:00

Gibbs Hollow Residence Gibbs Hollow Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the bo...

Modern Home in Athens

2012-12-15T21:39:37-05:00

This is the reconstruction and reconfiguration of a postwar two storey detached house, about 100m2, located in the area of Thisio in Athens, in a plot which is fully covered.

Beside the restoration work which had to be done for the statics of the building, the configuration of the far spatial organization was another significant intervention of the study.

The indoor organization of the detached houses of ‘50s was almost standard. On the ground floor, one could find the daytime functions: the sitting room, the living-room, the kitchen, perhaps a small wc; on the other floor, the nightly functions: the 3 bedrooms, the bathroom, the store room-laundry and the back balcony which had access to the camber through metal stairs.
