House Made of Wood And Copper with Stunning Views
House Made of Wood And Copper with Stunning Views
Wood and copper are materials that was choose durning the construction of this house and made it quite unusual. Only one material was used which isn’t bio-ecological – the concrete in foundation. The house is located in one of the sunniest places of southern Switzerland with a beautiful landscape around. It takes the full advantage of views by letting living areas to catch them up without any obstacles. The garage and services are hidden into the hillside in order not to spoil the views. Recyclable copper screen protects the wooden frame from the sun and regulates internal temperatures. Even though these materials aren’t usual for modern house design, Davide Macullo managed to design the contemporary residence.

Mountain Retreat Heavily Rendered Stone by Fearon Hay Architects
Mountain Retreat Heavily Rendered Stone by Fearon Hay Architects
The mountain retreat is a small structure which is situated high above the ground and facing shores of Lake Wakatipu in New Zealand. Its design is inspired by beautiful landscape views around. Floor-to-ceiling insulated windows in steel frames and roof terrace are things that enhance the ability to see picture-like mountains. The exterior of the building uses the heavily rendered stone to express a cubic form and integrate it into surround landscape.
A main sleeping space opens over the living space and is serviced by a centrally located bathroom. Heating set within the insulated floor slab provides additional comfort when required in the extremes of winter. The house gets the filtered water from a nearby mountain stream. Bottled gas is one of the main energy sources, although there is also electrical power provided. [Fearon Hay Architects]

Contemporary House Built With Minimum Landscape Impact – Johanna House
Contemporary House Built With Minimum Landscape Impact – Johanna House
The Johanna House is designed by Nicholas Burns on the 100 acres site of pristine bush land located on Johanna beach, Victoria, Australia. No trees were cleared in the construction of the house so it has minimum impact on the surround environment. The house made of glass, steel, concrete and rammed earth and has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. Big glass sliding wall doors help to connect indoors and outdoors all around the house and capture stunning views of the ocean and the bush’s flora and fauna. The most amazing feature of house’s interior design is the impressive fireplace that is placed in the centre of the living area. Nicholas Burns associates describe their creation as “a discrete insertion into the landscape”, and it really is.

Modernist House on the Slope with Commanding Views
Webster Wilson, the designer of this house on the slope of an extinct volcano in inner city Portland, implemented his vision of modernist design with a humanistic slant. While being designed in modern style the house is complimented by generous use of natural finished wood and stone. Principals of abundant open space and natural light are implemented in the house. It is situated so high that commanding views of the neighbor could be seen almost from every room in all four levels. The clad of the house is done in a dark-stained knotty cedar and a weathered bark. The total house’s area is 2600 square feet. There are 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, working studio, kitchen, laundry, master suite with roof top deck and so on. Low energy lighting scheme, windows with thermally broken aluminum frames, solar panels on the roof and plenty other things implement principals of environment friendly house design. [Webster Wilson]

Yoder-Doornbos Dream House On The Mountain
Yoder-Doornbos Dream House On The Mountain
Architect Michael Johnson’s design for Richard Yoder’s and Jeanne Doornbos’ house on Camelback Mountain is a truly dream design concept. Anchored to the mountain on the east, the elegantly simple form soars from the site, on the opposite side, it is supported only by an elevator tower and sheer wall, cantilevering the master bedroom above the Valley floor as the mountain drops away. The house has so amazing panoramic views that everybody could understand why some people climb the mountains. Floor-to-ceiling windows and the no-edge illusion of the pool extending the site make such views possible.
The living area of the house is accessed via elevator from the lower-level entry court or directly from the upper-level guest parking. The interiors, harmonized in neutral grays and metallic finishes, are free-flowing. The only hint of color comes from the fresh yellow of the kitchen area that peeks from behind the aptly detailed wall planes, and the primary color area carpets. The neutral selection of materials and colors ensures the key elements of Johnson’s design; the views and the simplicity of form. [Via +mood]
