The original Project, developed by the architect Luis Jiménez de Laiglesia in 1964 for Pr-Mr. Jean de la Croix, suffered from consecutive modifications which disguised the purity of its structure and design and style of its base. The home was constructed in the course of the 60’s and as if it was an uncut diamond, it hides a really singular structural layout under its layers which we attempted to recover and improve, getting rid of preceding unnecessary architectural components.</em></p><br/><p><em>The Diamond residence was rebuilt in order to show its original geometry and its distinct structure. In order to do so, all the unnecessary architectural elements had been removed: handrails, stairs, lattices, chimneys, and so on. Enlarging the surface of the house meant the reuse of every single space, used for storage or electric facilities, situated below the sanitary forging. Those spaces have been reused and have been turned into the main floor at the swimming pool and the terrace level.</em></p><br/><p><em>Hence the total surface of the property was 324,90 squared meters distributed on 3 different floors. The 1st 1 was the floor with the principal entrance to the property, situated below the porch – developed according to a singular structure made of concrete-. The living room and the kitchen were situated on the second floor (primary floor) facing the swimming pool, garden and terrace. 4 suites with magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea have been placed on the upper floor. The access to the house from the base of the website to the major entrance was not easy. By the restoring of the home a bigger ramp was built in order to facilitate the access to the home.”</em></p><br/><img alt="the diamond house by abis arquitectura The Diamond House By Abis Architecture architecture " height="334" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/the-diamond-house-by-abis-arquitectura.jpg" title="The Diamond House by Abis Arquitectura" width="500" /><br/><p><em>Images © Toni Elvar</em></p><br/><img alt="diamond house by abis arquitectura The Diamond House By Abis Architecture architecture " height="459" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/diamond-house-by-abis-arquitectura.jpg" title="Diamond House by Abis Arquitectura" width="500" /><br/><p><em>Photos © Toni Elvar</em></p><br/><p>A lot more data please visit <strong>Abis Architecture</strong> website.</p><br/><p> <span><br/><img alt="pixel The Diamond House By Abis Architecture architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/pixel__________.png" title="The Diamond House By Abis Architecture architecture " /></span><br/><p><small>This entry was posted on Wednesday, December 11th, 2013 at 4:35 pm and is filed below Architecture.

It is inspired from the writings of Pliny the Younger, whose sensual descriptions of two huge Italian villas dating back to antiquity stimulate the imagination and compels us to contemplate one’s spot in the surrounding landscape.</em></p><br/><p><em>The house was placed in a forest clearing on a plateau high up on a hillside supplying gorgeous vistas to rolling agricultural valleys and distant mountains. Upon arrival, two sparsely fenestrated volumes reveal themselves as blocks gently deposited on a field of green. The very first volume, 2 –storey and roughly cubic in shape is clad with wood siding. The second, a single-storey 24m long rectangle, embedded in the ground at a single finish and cantilevered more than the hill at the other finish is wrapped in composite cement panels. The center of the composition is an empty space of transition amongst these two volumes: transparently opening onto a spectacular panorama of Appalachian mountain ridges with Mount Sutton peaking on the horizon.</em></p><br/><p><em>Taking cues from its bucolic environment, this architecture is defined and modulated by the organic views, sunlight and the topography of the internet site. The home, its gardens, terraces and swimming pool, fostered a cruciform plan oriented along the North-South and East-West axes. In plan, the home revolves about 3 distinct parts arranged in the form of the letter ‘T’. One particular portion accommodates the living room, another, the guest rooms and a third houses the kitchen with the master bedroom upstairs. The dining area, the place of congregation that ties these with each other, lies at the crossroads of 3 cardinal vistas. To the east, the view opens onto the landscape of distant mountains and a wood deck, which takes benefit of the increasing sun. To the south, the central space extends to a mineral patio where a slender rectilinear pool leads to the hardwood forest. Lastly, to the west overlooking a water garden, we see the entrance and the green field with the woods that rise on the hill behind it. It is from this side that the dining area in the evening is bathed in the final rays of the sun.</em></p><br/><p><em>The ambiance in the house is also greatly affected by the presence of water. The pool, the water garden, and the adjacent stream gently flowing to the pond under, supply a faint background accent of rustling water. Subtle lighting of these aqueous media in addition to the houses lighting makes the spot enchanting at night.</em></p><br/><p><em>Finishing details, each interior and exterior, are the soul of the house. Constructed-in furnishings is designed with focus to detail and executed with precision, whether it’s the fireplace, bookshelves in the living area, butterfly doors leading to the guest bedrooms, kitchen furnishings (with its floating island apron ) bathroom cabinetry or the wooden shutters and the bed of the master bedroom. The identical care applies to exterior wall finishes of torrefied wood, cement board, Corten steel and white oak paneling which penetrate the interior. Likewise, continuity of horizontal surfaces in concrete, limestone and slate also assist to blur the boundaries in between outside and inside.</em></p><br/><p><em>T Home, was created with state of the art technical specifications and is certified Novoclimat. A geothermal climate manage system has lowered dependency for energy resources in a rural setting. Fenestration was applied as a function of climate and orientation to make certain the comfort of each space in winter as effectively as in summer time. Vis-à-vis operable windows offer all-natural cross ventilation. To the north, the residence has few openings. To the south, the roof of the central space projects out over the patio just adequate to protect the lobby from overheating in the summer whilst enabling winter rays to penetrate and bring solar obtain. Concrete and natural stone flooring, preserve freshness in summer season exposed to direct sunlight and equipped with a hydronic heating method, they give ideal comfort for the duration of the cold seasons.”</em></p><br/><img alt="t house T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " height="1324" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/t-house_________________.jpg" title="T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " width="800" />Floor Plan<br/><img alt="t house T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " height="1296" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/t-house__________________.jpg" title="T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " width="800" />Site Strategy<br/><p>Images by: Marc Cramer</p><br/><img alt="p T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " border="" height="1" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/p______________________________________________________________________________________.gif" title="T House By Natalie Dionne Architecture interior design 2 " width="1" /><!-- Social Buttons Generated by Digg Digg plugin v5.3.6,<br/> Author : Buffer, Inc<br/> Website : http://bufferapp.com/diggdigg --><br/>

Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture

<img alt="fogo island cabins by saunders architecture thumb Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " height="450" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fogo-island-cabins-by-saunders-architecture-thumb.jpg" style="" title="Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " width="630" /><br/><p>Element of the Fogo Island project, Saunders Architects have designed these remarkable isolated cabins like inspirational shelters for artists. Nonetheless, apart from becoming the grounds for creation, the 4 cabins presented here are performs of art in themselves. They are merely named by their geometry: Long, Squish, Bridge or Tower, geometry that in all circumstances comes to complement the all-natural atmosphere in a dramatic way. Extended Studio is the initial cabin to be constructed, and it is a 120 square meters module created to be reproduced as the colony grows. It is located a 10 minute stroll from the nearest track, and its position guarantees both physical and mental isolation. Its minimal, elongated shape that floats more than the rough volcanic boulders integrates this cabin completely to the wild atmosphere. The exterior shell is in blackened rough-sawn pine with an interior lining in white spruce. Even though the architecture may possibly look sophisticated, the standard fixtures and finishing make it unpretentious. Locally sourced wood cladding echoes The fishermen’;s clapboard houses are echoed in the locally sourced wood cladding and the in stilts that help the cabin just like Fogo’;s standard waterfront huts. Just like its sisters, this cabin produces its own power and treats its own waste, independent of any service supplier. Heat is generated by solar panels and a little wood stove.</p><br/><img alt="fogo island cabins by saunders architecture thumb Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " height="450" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fogo-island-cabins-by-saunders-architecture-thumb_.jpg" style="" title="Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " width="630" /><br/><p>With its white angular form, Squish delivers sharp contrast to the conventional vernacular architecture of the nearby picturesque neighborhood of Tilting, outside of which it is located. The roof of this cabin is squished, increasing 20 feet above the ground on the south side against only half this size on the north end. This shape is dictated by the stormy North-Atlantic winds that blow over the region. The compact, trapezium-shaped plan of the studio is enhanced by the extension of the east and west exterior walls to generate a sheltered entry deck and a north terrace overlooking the ocean. By means of the horizontal expanse of the main room, the angled roof leads the eye to the full height glass window focused on a beautiful view of the ocean.</p><br/><img alt="fogo island cabins by saunders architecture thumb Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " height="450" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fogo-island-cabins-by-saunders-architecture-thumb__.jpg" style="" title="Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The Bridge cabin first seems as an abstract entity. From the side it looks like a windowless wood-clad parallelogram, hovering above the landscape. Its name comes from the sixteen-foot bridge connected to the adjacent hillside by 4 piers. The closer one particular gets, the far more transparent the cabin becomes, with a generous glass entry and a large square window at the other finish of the area. Mirroring the sloped ceiling, the floor of the Bridge Studio is composed of two levels. The reduce area, that accommodates an entry region, lengthy counter and wood-burning stove is divided from the upper region by a short run of stairs. Like other cabins, the ceiling, the walls and floor are lined with painted spruce planks that produce excellent perspective views from the inside towards the outside. </p><br/><img alt="fogo island cabins by saunders architecture thumb Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " height="450" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fogo-island-cabins-by-saunders-architecture-thumb___.jpg" style="" title="Fogo Island Cabins By Saunders Architecture home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The tallest of the cabins, Tower is a 3-strorey building that twists along its axes. Like other cabins of the project, it has a painted wooden exterior and a whitewashed interior. It culminates with a rooftop terrace that delivers the most incredible views on the wild surrounding nature. At the level of the middle floor, a huge triangular skylight makes it possible for light to flood into the cabin, whilst a mezzanine overlooks it from above.The sculptural silhouette of the cabin leans each forward and backward as it twists upward, creating it look somehow out of balance. The entry level is occupied by a kitchenette, a compost toilet and wood- burning fireplace. The second level is a studio, day lit by the generous skylight, although the mezzanine overhead juts into the double height volume of the studio. The feeling of lack of balance is increased by the elimination of architectural detail and the truth that all surfaces are painted a brilliant white.</p><br/><img alt="fogo island cabins by saunders

Locomotive Ranch Trailer by Andrew Hinman Architecture

<p><a href="http://andrewhinman.com/" target="_blank">Andrew Hinman Architecture</a> have designed the Locomotive Ranch Trailer in Uvalde, Texas.</p><br/><p>One of the client’s cherished possessions is a vintage streamlined aluminum house (not travel) trailer, and he wanted to relocate the trailer to the family’s favorite spot on their South Texas ranch overlooking the Nueces River. Given the fragile geology and the flash-flood prone nature of the riverside location, the trailer’s foundation and protection required special considerations. The resulting solution is a steel-framed, metal-roofed cradle, right at home amongst the existing rain barns and ranch equipment sheds. The cradle lifts the trailer above the flood plain and provides accessory components, sweeping river views, and safe access to the fishing/swimming hole. The cradle is anchored by a concrete blockhouse containing utilities, storage, and bathroom and topped by a screened sleeping loft. Rainwater harvesting is SOP in South Texas. The trailer interior is refurbished with bamboo panels. Interior lighting is provided by LED cove & mini-spots. The Ipe and Douglas Fir decking is FSC certified.</p><br/><p><img alt="Locomotive Ranch Trailer by Andrew Hinman Architecture" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-18518" height="472"
