The notion started with the roof structure built on where earth is skimmed. Then essential applications hang inside it. The roof open its arms to the sea based on slope and landscape. The containers, which are lightly afloat, also face the sea. Given that it is a home of cave, its boundary is ambiguous. But it reminds us of a flower blossomed on the end of the ground when observed from the distance (Bondai beach) .</em></p><br/><img alt="sydney cave container 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sydney-cave-container____.jpg" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="730" /><br/><img alt="sydney cave container 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sydney-cave-container_____.jpg" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="730" /><br/><p><em>The most essential interest was to secure an independent space for the owner of the property. It is why we hung the containers on the roof, not on the ground. It is like numerous containers share the top space to make a home. Each and every part of the roof has different slopes, so we could naturally secure a deep space for terrace. This space (terrace) will be used for the owner and his pals in drying surfing boards below sunlight or keeping them when they come back from fun in Bondai beach. Although the upper element of the house is utilized independently, the reduce component is connected to a space for everybody. Despite the fact that for frequent use, it is divided into recreational space (for celebration) and LDK (for resting). The recreation space naturally leads to a swimming pool and LDK to terrace garden. This home appears as if it was constructed on the residential space on dug ground. Each and every of the densely floating containers will be lit on a single by a single by its owner and they will look like a cave from Bondai beach when all are lit.</em></p><br/><img alt="sydney cave container 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sydney-cave-container______.jpg" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="730" /><br/><img alt="sydney cave container 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sydney-cave-container_______.jpg" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="730" /><br/><p><em>This home will be employed by the owner and his pals who really like surfing. Every single of them can not only occupy his personal container but also command the view of the sea on distinct level according to the height of the roof. That is why they (containers) turn out to be distinctive. Because the containers hang on it in prefabricated way, they can replaced later if required.</em></p><br/><img alt="sydney cave container 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sydney-cave-container________.jpg" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="730" /><br/><p><strong>Project: </strong>[Sydney 08] Container Holiday House <br/><strong>Competition Organized by</strong> [AC-CA]<br/><strong>Developed by </strong>Eun Jin Koh, Jong Hyun Kim<br/><strong>Nation: </strong>South Korea<br/><strong>Use-Internet site Area:</strong> 542.84 m² (Website Region: 1,491.76 m^two)<br/><strong>Developing Location:</strong> 352.64 m²<br/><strong>GFA:</strong> 254.3 m^two<br/><strong>Maximum Height:</strong> 12m<br/><strong>Landscape Area:</strong> 1,139.12 m²<br/><strong>Location: </strong>Sydney, Australia<br/><strong>Internet site: </strong>www.ac-ca.org</p><br/><table><br/><tbody><br/><tr><br/><td><br/><img alt="pinext 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " border="0" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/pinext_____.png" title="Pin It" /></td><br/><td> </td><br/></tr><br/></tbody><br/></table><br/><p> If you enjoyed this post, please consider leaving a comment or subscribing to the <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed to have future articles delivered to your feed reader.<br/><img alt="p 2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " border="" height="1" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/p__________________________________________________________________________________________.gif" title="2nd Prize On Competition [SYDNEY 08] For Eun Jin Koh And Jong Hyun Kim architecture " width="1" /><!-- Social Buttons Generated by Digg Digg plugin v5.3.6,<br/> Author : Buffer, Inc<br/> Website : http://bufferapp.com/diggdigg --><br/>

As the architects explain, “The house is animated by slashes of sunlight on stone walls and views more than the ancient landscape. At the dining table, you look out from twelfth and twenty-first century building to fifteenth and 6teenth century walls – the dialogue across the centuries frames conversations between close friends.”</p><br/><p>This 21st Century permutation of Astley Castle is, says RIBA, “An critical piece of architecture, beautifully detailed and crafted.”</p><br/><p><br/><img alt="picture 2227 12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " height="475" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture-2227.jpg" title="12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="picture 5964 12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " height="889" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture-5964.jpg" title="12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="picture 6902 12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " height="400" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture-6902.jpg" title="12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="picture 1157 12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " height="792" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/picture-1157.jpg" title="12th Century Castle Renovation Wins 2013 RIBA Prize amazing ideas " width="1000" /></p><br/><p>Pictures: RIBA</p><br/><p>
