Located deep in the hillside of Barcelona, this amazing wooden home comes from H Arquitectes and has a unique architecture design. The project is called “Casa 205″ and it was built in order to take advantage of the beautiful natural surroundings. Impact on the environment is kept to a minimal level as well. The giant rectangle was set on a rough terrain, not so suited for building a home. However, the slopes did not stop the architects from designing a steady and ultimately cool house project. A genuine rustic feel is given by the use of wood, both for the exterior and the indoor finishes. A huge bookcase is the centerpiece of the house and the rooms are very spacious.

Les Aventuriers comes from Shun Hirayama Architecture and is an imposing hillside residence located in Kanagawa Prefecture, an area with beautiful surroundings. The owners wanted a peaceful home that would be integrated in a natural environment. However, when it came to design and architecture, the land was not as peaceful. The house is built on a slope which means you will find angled walls and various ceiling heights. We really liked a concept put together by the developers of the project, as it brings an unique interpretation of the overall design. And here it is: “We produced a path that possesses comfortable straight eyesight, analogous to walking between trees. The path connects the inside and the outside, and again backs to the inside without a dead-end.” We hope you will like the "tree-house feel" of this place and we are looking forward to your comments.

The huge workshop spreads over an area of 1,937 square feet and has three levels. Architect Nathalie Wolberg is the owner of this place which is said to carry “her own personality, own desires, passions, even pathological deficiencies”. We think the living space looks really cool and unusual. The approach is a modern one, and the lighting effects are quite spectacular. The stairs connecting the three floors are also unusual, some might say a bit dangerous, due to the fact that there is no hand-grab available. We absolutely love the net in the forth picture and we think it is an idea that could be applied at a large scale.

Almost 6000 square feet house was build with a lot of natural materials like wood, stone and marble so even with its contemporary and urban design it blends well with surroundings. It’s open towards the street and can be accessed from there crossing over a fountain from which a huge oak tree grows. There is also a small oak forest that was left in the garden. Thanks to the fact that the living room conceived almost as a glass box, views of this garden and of the Sierra Madre peaks could be experienced from there. There is also a fireplace in the house where the family gather during cold winters.

This house is located off a walk street with great views of the Pacific Ocean and Malibu coastline. Its design is all about a careful space planning. The site is a narrow 30×60-foot area but it includes not only the house but also a garden. This garden is an open green space in the center of the structure at the ground floor level. On one side of this area is a children’s room and a master’s bedroom with a bath. Not only this Zen garden makes the interior to be closer to nature. There are a lot of woodwork that also do so and adds a touch of comfort to the house. [ Rockefeller Partners Architects | Photography by Eric Staudenmaier ]
