Rectangular Concrete House Turned on its Side
Villa Drusch, designed by Claude Parent, famous French modernist is built in 1963 for local industrialist Gaston Drusch. It implements architect’s “theory of oblique architecture” because looks like the home turned on its side. Simple rectangular concrete box become very original living space with tricky angles and open spaces. Outdoor lap pool is placed to give an ability to jump there from bedroom window. Living spaces are encased in aluminum-framed glass, which naturally lights the open interior. A staircase inside follows the slope of the exterior structure. A lot of surfaces inside are also made of concrete. Even though the house is designed a long time ago even today it looks more than contemporary.

Klein Bottle Holiday House by Rob McBride

Klein Bottle Holiday House by Rob McBride
The winner of the 2008 Australian Institute of Architects Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture, the Klein Bottle House is a holiday house located on the Mornington Peninsula. The place is approximately an hour’s drive from Melbourne. The unusual home design is generated from a mathematical model. The “Klein Bottle” in mathematics is a non-orientable surface (a surface with no distinction between the “inside” and “outside”). The house revolves around a central courtyard, a grand regal stair connecting all the levels. The carefully sculpted, angled space of the living area is both a revelation and a delight. Being experimental gives house a bit futuristic look. Red colored interior spaces and contemporary furniture just makes that look stronger.
As noted by the National Architecture Awards jury “the overall perception of the house is one of a distinctive new language for domestic architecture, a language that draws from mathematics to develop an architecture of excitement, intrigue and new possibilities.”

Letterbox House

Letterbox House
Letterbox house isn’t first experimental house design by McBride Charles Ryan architects. They are one of extraordinary Australian teams which always could surprise people with interesting house shapes and interior designs. Letterbox house is constructed on 290 sqm area with anything but flat landscape. House exterior looks like it has been turned inside out. That is achieved by smart using of materials and by changing usual houses shapes. There is a lot of space near the house which make spending time outdoors very comfortable.
The interior of the house is more normal than exterior but there are non-standard things too. Interior designers not often use bright red with natural wood. Red color is usually could be seen in modern interiors and wood in more traditional ones. Although here they are combined and that add an interesting touch to overall interior impression. It’s very comfy and such elements like red shelves make it also quite unusual. [Via Archdaily]
