Description of Sebastopol Residence “Designed for two graphic designers, this house bridges between two stands of redwood trees, with the northern window wall facing out to the expansive view. Decks located at either end of the house open onto paths that lead to the pool on one side and the studio/garage on the other. The southern elevation screens the interior from the driveway and road above, but allows southern light in through the clerestory windows. As you enter, a dormer rises up over the dining area to frame the view. The main house is modest in size, only 1,700 square feet, but feels spacious due to an open floor plan. The clients' wonderful art objects are housed in the long southern wall bookcase….” The post Sebastopol Residence by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects appeared first on Home & House Design Ideas | Interior.

DT House by Jorge Graça Costa Architect Posted: 27 Feb 2013 04:07 AM PST Jorge Graça Costa Architect have designed a house with energy-efficient principles near the capital city of Lisbon, Portugal. This house have good passive cooling and heating qualities, uses 4 times less energy for cooling than a standard dwelling would in Portuguese summers. DT House’s composition explores the contrast between social areas of the lower level and private areas located on the upper floor. Natural lighting is also enhanced to better serve the lower level, where the social, collective functions, are located. To improve passive cooling profiting from sea breezes, it was strategic to build a pool near the façade; the pool water doesn't use chemicals to be reused in the garden. From the architectural design to the adequate definition of particular solutions, DT House shows that it is possible to integrate contemporary technologies and sustainable design solutions – good design as the support to good human comfort.
