i think steven might mean ARM, pre-date LAB, but i don't think it is by them...

Ok,

Now, I knew this was going to stump everybody - or someone would get it immediately.

The biggest hint I can give you, is that this building has been documented only once as far as I know, and it was done as 1 part of a 2 part volume. The other documented building was the Casa Malaparte. One very famous photographer [and fahsion designer] was the author...

Sorry about the difficulty of this one, but I had it up my sleeve for some time to give p2an and others a had time... ;)

The House in the Trees, not sure by who though.

And it is in a small village outside of Rome.

I correct myself. It is La Casa Albero Nella Pineta di Fregene, designed by Perugini.

well done!

I have been intrigued by this building since I saw it in this book

And off you go Kungapa, or defer.

And since I know I am right, here is the next imageÖ

Ironically, the exact link you posted, diabase, was where I found the information.

ooh ooh ooh! i was just looking at this thursday. i need my work computer.

I know this one, so i wont go.

It's Tham Videgård Hansson. House in Stockholm archipelago.

Here's mine:

bump - any clues a-f?

japan?

I was thinking Japan too, but that front wall looks european - like a re-use.

but it also looks like it's possibly a u.s. modular cmu on top of that stone wall...

i also don't know it - but i know i like it.

It's in Japan. I really like this project (and the architect).

Actually that might not help so much, so I take the opportunity to post some eye-candy from another project by the same architect:

that's Kumiko Inui, i think.

ahh that made it easier

jun aoki. L house 1999.

yes!

damn, there's the connection, inui worked for aoki.

here's where i went wrong:
Shin-Yatsushiro Monument


"...Inui is perhaps best known for her facades—each one a visual pun or optical illusion. She made the elevation for Dior in Ginza out of two overlapping sheets of aluminum, dotting the outer layer with perforations so they replicate the woven pattern of Thonet’s famous chair that Christian Dior adapted as his signature motif..."

bump - meetings galore, also?

that looks like a mies-erfield

i'll probably be chastised for saying so, but it also reminds me of some of philip johnson's better houses.

looks a lot like Bearth & Deplazes, but it doesn't seem swiss.

some interesting comments...but no.

hmmm, is it boyd cody? i didn't see it on the website.

I reckon its either Chilean, Dutch or Belgian. Will have to look through my collection.

I was right

Vincent Van Duysen
VDD Residence [his own place?]
Belgium [I presume]
1998

nice. how'd you find that?
do you guys have massive digital as well as physical libraries?

or was that internets searching (world-architects, etc)

When I said I had 430 Architect's websites, I should also mention that I visit them on a regular basis...

I will post something shortly..

yeah, you and me both. my s.o. thinks i'm looking at politics pages, but i have the day's news & political on one monitor, archi-stuff on the other.

i think this was already posted

Really?
Bugger - kill it off now and we can repost.

or i've just seen this a lot lately...
gianni botsford, casa kika

repost

repost

Sauerbruch Hutton? (random guess)

no time to search...but that's some mean red!!!! makes me smile!!!

"if you are going to do it, do it"

i don't thing there is enough variation in the coloring for sa-hu.

Is that red accurate, or is it a brickish-red being played with by the sun?

Perhaps it's Italian?

is it in Hamburg by any chance? lets have a hint
