Modern House Design Weave House by A-cero
Weave House is a residential project located in the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
It was designed by A-cero.
Weave House by A-cero:
“This house has been designed the distinctive style of the studio managed by Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares architects, according to the design the evolution recent years with more sinuous and organic lines, this single-family house project is located in an exclusive residential area of the Spanish coast.
The property of 1000 sqm (10,764 sqft) is divided into three floors. The basement with the garage, service areas and facilities, the ground floor with the public areas and the first floor where we find the most private rooms such as bedrooms. The whole interior also designed by A-cero has great light with large windows and is connected to the outside with different terraces and porches. There is also a pool on the walkable roof of this house.
The design proposed by A-cero gives strength and subtlety to the whole building. The four facades are different but they follow the same patterns in terms of design. The materials chosen in this case are black glass and white DuPont Corian. Both materials stand out for their high quality and durability and especially in the case of Corian, adapting perfectly to this particular design.
This is a high quality house and the design shows it perfectly by itself. In this house become important the sculptural volumes embracing the building, the construction details between Corian and glass planes and the great plasticity of the facades.
The large plot of this project is located in an elevated position and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The detailed landscaping was also designed by A-cero in relation with the project.”

Modern Vanglo House by LWPAC & Vanglo
Vanglo House is a project completed jointly by LWPAC & Vanglo.
It is located in Vancouver, Canada.
Vanglo House by LWPAC & Vanglo:
“Vancouver business owner and builder Martin Warren of Vanglo Sustainable Construction Group announces his first Vanglo House design located at 135 East 17 Avenue in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighourhood. Working in collaboration with Vancouver Architect Oliver Lang, of Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture (LWPAC), the duo teamed up to design and build one of the most striking Energy Star efficient homes in Vancouver. LWPAC was the architect and Vanglo was the builder who brought the home to life.
Highly acclaimed for its extensive residential and commercial renovations, Vanglo follows a principle of restoring and renovating homes in Vancouver whenever possible; however, when a derelict and unlivable house located at 135 East 17 caught the attention of the builder, he welcomed the opportunity to design a home in one of Vancouver’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The goal was to construct a home that not only enhanced the immediate environment but also would establish new standards in design, flexibility and energy efficient green building.
During the building process, careful consideration was given to the deconstruction of the previous dwelling and 95% of the waste material was taken to a facility that turns waste wood into bioethanol. The unique lot dictated the design of the home due to having a larger than average frontage and less than average depth. Together, Vanglo and LWPAC were able to design a home within these parameters by building a multi-faceted exterior and arranging the complex geometry of the house to create a fully flexible space with no interior load-bearing walls.
“With the unique property setting, we knew we had to be creative and maximize the space to its full potential without compromising the design and I think we have achieved that,” states Martin Warren, Vanglo builder and owner. “We also feel the neighbourhood is much like the home; it is creative, design-oriented, conscientious and bold.”
The ENERGY STAR® open concept home was designed with specific materials and construction methods to minimize future maintenance and reduce energy consumption. Vanglo minimized the use of external wood and painted surfaces, built a maintenance-free metal roof, and finished with concrete floors to place an emphasis on building a healthy, low maintenance living environment for the homeowner. The three level, single family home and garden suite are engineered to offer the future owner the choice to reconfigure the floor plan to suit their needs. The 2250 sq. ft. home includes a 300 sq. ft. outdoor lounge that transitions seamlessly into the open plan top floor.”

Modern Cliff Top House by Luigi Rosselli Architects
Cliff Top House was completed by Luigi Rosselli Architects.
It is located in Sydney, Australia.
Cliff Top House by Luigi Rosselli Architects:
“Perched on the top of a rock escarpment in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, overlooking Queens Park and Centennial Park, the cliff top house is an example of vertical living. Four storeys high, only to above the street and built to the front boundary, it was easily approved by Waverley Council because it was consistent with the unique topography, and Luigi Rosselli Architects demonstrated the positive impact to the public and neighbours.
The cliff top design has incorporated the outdoor space in the form of terraces and balconies, to make up for the inaccessible garden at the bottom of the cliff. The “scissoring” design took inspiration from the natural rock ledges one can find in this site and Sydney’s coastal landscapes.
The western elevation of the house has unique city and Blue Mountains views over the greenery of the gulley and adjoining parks. The balcony projections, louvres and shutters moderate the heat of the western orientation. All habitable rooms have an external sun protection. Vertical living, shading devices and good use of materials have delivered an air-conditioning free house.”

Modern Wulumuqi Road Apartment by SKEW Collaborative
Wulumuqi Road Apartment is a project completed by SKEW Collaborative.
It is located in Shanghai, China and was finished in 2012.
Wulumuqi Road Apartment by SKEW Collaborative:
“The alteration and addition of Wulumuqi Road Apartment was an interpretation of a local policy of urban beautification in Shanghai. There was a city-wide policy where pitched tiled roofs were being added to roofs of modern commune housing built in the 40s to 50s that were considered devoid of civic or traditional character.
In the re-design of this apartment, the original flat roof was partially demolished to give way to an attic. This attic took reference from the vernacular form of the triangular dormer window found in the neighborhood which served as an archetypal form that was rigorously applied to this project – with all of its implications of structure, envelope and geometry. The triangulation of the roof plane was extrapolated to give shape to the ceilings, walls and staircase, where each tread and baluster was articulated to mark the ends of these transformative triangle surfaces. The rest of the apartment was kept simple; the existing industrial steel windows, wooden flooring and white plaster walls were retained, in anticipation of the unfolding elements from the new attic space.”

Modern House Interior B25 House by PK Arkitektar
B25 House is a private residence designed by PK Arkitektar.
It is located in Reykjavik, Iceland, and covers an area of 4,920 square feet.
B25 House by PK Arkitektar:
“This private residence is located in a compact suburban neighborhood. The plot slopes down from street level towards its southwest backyard.
The house was conceived to appear from the street as a singular solid mass; with the entrance hidden from the street. By contrast, the rear side of the house, with private outdoor areas, has a sense of openness and permeability.
The monolithic mass of the house conceals a recess, where hides the front door. The front volume is lightened by an incision, which represents the interior boundary between private and public areas. A light well behind the front façade permits daylight into both floors in the northeast part of the house. The sloping plot allows for the basement to be hidden and gives magnificent views of the nearby Álftanes peninsula.
Red Rhyolite is employed here as cladding on the recessed surfaces of the otherwise white monolith. The front yard is a minimal surface of gravel and stone; greenery being restricted to a patch at the rear where a single tree stands. In stark contrast with the green walls and lush gardens common to the area: the arid treatment of the front yard applied here is more in line with Iceland’s nature and landscapes.”

Small House Interior XXS House in Slovenia by Dekleva Gregoric Arhitekti
As its name suggests, XXS House is a tiny house designed by Ljubljana-based studio Dekleva Gregoric Arhitekti.
Located in Krakovo, a medieval fishing village that today forms a part of Ljubljana center, this contemporary residence designed as a vacation home for a couple has a total square footage of 463 on two levels!
XXS House by Dekleva Gregoric Arhitekti:
“Extra-extra-Small House is located in a specific part of the center of Ljubljana. The neighborhood called Krakovo has a structure of a historical village, which was in the Middle Ages supplying the nearby monastery with fresh food and is today highly protected historical area.
The basic dimensions of the new house were already defined by law according to the volume of the pre-existing house, hundred years ago working as a service building of a traditional house next-door.
The task was to integrate all residential functions in an extra small volume to suit the needs of a couple living in countryside for their new urban holiday-home. Since the house faces north, it was a challenge to bring the direct and in-direct sunlight to the living spaces in the ground floor.
The heritage protection rules allow light shafts on the roofs, but in this case we turned them towards the sky. This major alternation of the volume opend up completly new attic space suitable for use. A huge wall size slide window opens up the space to the intimate atrium and allows for indirect lighting. The selection of the façade materials and detailing established the desired service apperance of the house.
The concept of raw materials stretches from exterior to interior – using fibre cement panels in their primer mode for the roof and yard façade and ‘béton brut’, terrazzo, plywood, iron, felt for the indoor. The total area of 43m2 ultimately names the house – XXS.”

Small Interior Barcode House by David Jameson Architect
Virginia-based studio David Jameson Architect has designed the Barcode House project.
Completed in March 2011, this three story contemporary home is located in Washington DC, USA.
Barcode House by David Jameson Architect:
“Barcode House explores juxtapositions between the heavy and light and the old and the new. The work is formed by positioning the project’s diverse pressures into a unique situational aesthetic. Brittle masonry walls of the existing Washington, DC row house governed that the addition be engineered as a freestanding structure. Site constraints dictated a vertically oriented spatial solution.
The client’s desire for transparent living space generated the opportunity to create an integrated solution for lateral force requirements. Structural steel rods within a glass window wall are aligned with datum lines of the neighboring building elevations. A stucco circulation tower anchors the living space to the existing row house.”
