| Candela House in Spain by Zigzag Arquitectura Posted: 30 Apr 2013 05:07 AM PDT
The Candela House situated in an area surrounded by mountains, Aballe Dego, close to the River Sellain Spain. Designed by place zigzag arquitectura suggested the idea of a mountain ,hollowed inside, with eyes strategically arranged to capture the surrounding landscape, introducing it into the rooms of the house and avoiding direct views into the homes of the nearest neighbours. The result is a hard shell, earthy and perforated, allowing the entry of the landscape in the form of pictures which change each time you return to the house.
The house has two exterior rooms, facing the north and the south, which highlight the value of the use of the traditional Asturian porch as a space extension and a relationship with nature. In the darkness of the night, the shell disappears, and when the house is inhabited, the holes appear as "living fragments" floating in the landscape. Capturing the landscape is one of the main aims of the project. The night programme, bedrooms and bathrooms, is located in the northern area, leaving the southern orientation to the meeting spaces and the double height space: living room – dining room – kitchen. The porch serves as a link between the day spaces of the ground floor, and at the same time is used to mark the difference with the kitchen-dining room-living room programme. The north porch is linked to the main bedroom downstairs and contains the outside staircase which communicates the upstairs rooms directly with nature.
The circulations inside the house are developed along the longitudinal axis of the house. The main entrance to the house is from the entrance porch, located in the northern facade, next to the garage entrance. Both accesses meet in the hall, from which the promenade starts and connects all the rooms. The construction system is adapted to the resources available in the area: reinforced concrete structure as well as double brick isolated walls. The facades of the house are made with a dark grey rendering coat and planks of iroko wood. The roof is built with flat concrete tiles, adapting to the material regulations of the area. – Photos by B. Angelini and D.

| Beautiful House Facing The Andes Mountains by Juan Carlos Doblado Posted: 29 Apr 2013 05:07 PM PDT
This beautiful house designed by Juan Carlos Doblado, located facing the Andes Mountains in Antioquia Huarochirí Peru. The house is set in the top of a sloping ground, enriching the relationship with the topography of the project. The program is organized into two parallel and horizontal volumes outdated, based on a simple geometry where the inside is as important as the exterior. The courtyard entry articulates both volumes under one cover and provides a visual opening to the mountains surrounding the valley. In both volumes transparency is what dominates them. Each room has an entire side made of glass, making the landscape part of the interior space and expanding it.
The available space inside allows you to integrate multiple sliding glass screens. The front volume of the house includes all the social spaces, the kitchen and some of the bedrooms, finishing with the main bedroom that is projected like a balcony facing the Andes. The service area is located under the ground taking advantage of the slope. The subsequent volume includes the family room and two guest bedrooms.
The general language of the house consists of exposed concrete walls evoking the timelessness of the stone and sliding colorless glass doors. The bottom part of the wall is covered with a dark stone to accentuate the weightlessness of the two main volumes. – Juan Carlos Doblado The post Beautiful House Facing The Andes Mountains by Juan Carlos Doblado appeared first on Home & House Design Ideas | Interior. |
