The house is designed based on two stone walls (made of Laja Neuquen) that interact all over the house. The colour of the stone is the origin of all the color pallet of the house.

| Minimalist Japanese House by Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates Posted: 19 May 2013 05:07 PM PDT
The Ogaki House designed with minimalist style by Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates, located in Gifu. This house built in 130.64 m2 and have 106.42 m2 total floor area. This house is introduced from the ambient surrounding and the conditions of site planning.In winter seasons, the strong west wind (the fall wind of Ibuki) blows in this area, so it is the plan of suppressing the load of the building by extending its roof up to the close to the ground soil and fending off cold winds at the roof. In summer seasons, it is the structure that discharges the accumulated heat inside to the outside through the VOID of the inner court and the central VOID installed various parts. It is important to do the idea of the environment and the idea of architecture at the same time.- Photos by [Toshiyuki Yano]

| Sustainable La Campana House in Chile by Alejandro Dumay + Francisco Vergara Posted: 19 May 2013 05:07 AM PDT
The La Campana House situated in Ocoa, a rural central valley of Chile. Designed by Alejandro Dumay in collaboration with Francisco Vergara, 10,000 m2 site area house have stunning panoramic view of Andes mountain. East of the volume is located four bedrooms with capacity for 10 people in total, linked by a corridor outside, living, living room and master bedroom orientation towards the mountain range. The material are used Eco friendly such wood, concrete and clay. This house project concern for energy efficiency, there are considered passive thermal solutions, such as Trombe walls to the north, cross circulation of air, and shaded and double glazing and solar panels to heat water and photovoltaic panels future. – Photos by Mauricio Fuentes

| Spectacular Casa Torcida by SPG Architects Posted: 18 May 2013 05:07 PM PDT
SPG Architects projected to re-consider the incomplete structure of Casa Torcida situated on coastal hillside in Costa Rica. With footings, frame, and slab already in place, the greatest impact on the rain-forested site, which overlooked the Pacific Ocean, had already taken place before SPG Architects' work began. The existing geometry required minor reconfiguration of the perimeter to improve the massing and use of the house. Sheer walls, bracing, and enhanced connections were required to reinforce the frame for seismic activity. Neither of these activities further degraded the site.
Further impact on the site was reduced by the decision to make the house self-sufficient in terms of energy and water use. This both eliminated the considerable expense of running electrical lines 18 km from the nearest town and avoided the inevitable suburbanization of this sparsely populated coastal area that doing so would have risked. Upon completion, this house had the largest domestic solar array (18.4 kW) in Costa Rica, which provided enough energy for lighting, appliances, and miscellaneous equipment. In the future, this solar-derived power will also provide for the needs of a complete and state-of-the-art recording studio, for which space has been designated at the ground level.
The solar panels, both photovoltaic and hot water, sit on a reflective & insulating, chemically inert & microbial-free, ceramic-based roof coating that both minimizes solar heat-gain and provides a clean source of water for the house and the pool. Roof water collects in a 75,000-gallon cistern, precluding the need for well water and eliminating any impact on the water table. No air-conditioning is required since natural cross breezes are exploited to maximize comfort in each room.
The house incorporates movable and adjustable louvered and screened panels in each living space and movable glass walls that allow the rooms to fully open so that indoors is completely merged with the outdoors. Cabinetry was locally fabricated from trees originally harvested from the foundation area and all materials were locally sourced whenever possible. High-efficiency appliances, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures all contribute to the environmentally responsible approach to co-existing with nature in this very 21st century home. Casa Torcida provides all the comforts that the client required, making it clear that a well-considered resource-responsible approach does not preclude a commodious design that is visually appealing and functionally uncompromised.
