Matilde House - luxury home

Matilde House designed by Ailtireacht Architects, located in Rathgar, Dublin.




Information from Ailtireacht Architects:

The existing two-storey return was at a scale not befitting such a large house with cramped internal dimensions making the spaces unusable. Traditionally, Victorian returns consist of a series of functional and subservient spaces to the mainhouse. The design exploits this premise, in the creation of a series of generously proportioned multifunctional spaces, accommodating the contemporary needs not afforded by a typical Victorian House, spaces envisaged for working, playing, bathing and sleeping. The functional materiality of the proposal is selected in response to the existing condition of unpainted render at the rear terrace and the subordinate functional spaces contained therein.

Location: Lugar das Carvalhinhas - Alvite, freguesia de Cerva, Ribeira da Pena District

Contractor: Óscar Gouveia
Landscape: Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira

Photographers: Alvaro Leite Siza / F&S Guerra

A holiday home with three bedrooms, a social bathroom, a living room, a dinning room, a small kitchen with a support washbasin, pantry, and even a small outdoor swimming pool.

This road leads to the northern higher part of the lot. The roof functions simultaneously as pavement support for the gardens: similar to the traditional threshing floors and patios in the northern regions of the country with hilly terrain.

The terrain’s instability together with modest economic resources gave rise to a house with triple function: the home itself and its interior space; the organization of outdoor leveled patios corresponding to the roofs of various levels which permit the outdoor use of the garden; and finally, the creation of a pedestrian link between the paths of the upper and lower levels that border this lot. The exterior stairs that create a link between the patios mirror the interior stairs that have the same function of linking the designed compartments that are also developed through levels. In this way, the exterior stairs correspond to the interior ceilings.

House “V” was designed in order to satisfy the needs of a family. The house is situated beneath Zagreb mountain Medvednica, on a relatively mild hill that stretches from south to east. The house is closed on the north side along the street and opens up into a large private garden thus creating a sense of intimacy for family life. The ground floor is intended for the common activities of the inhabitants, with a gradual staircase connecting the serene living area to private rooms on the first floor. Exits to the outdoor landscape are possible from the pool on the southern side, the porch area on the southeastern side, along the glass front of the living room and from the commercial part on northeast side.

Pentimento House - Luxury Home

Architects: Jose María Sáez and David Barragán
Client: Desireé Marín
Location: La Morita, Tumbaco, Quito-Ecuador
Collaborators: Alejandra Andrade
Builder: Jaime Quinga
Prefabricated Elements: Héctor Sánchez
Engineering: César Izurieta
Material Aspect: concrete, wood, glass
Status: Complete: 2006
Photographers: Raed Gindeya, Jose María Sáez

A garden and a client without fear. Built with a single piece of prefabricated concrete, which can be placed in four different ways (assembly) which solves structure, wall, furniture, ladders, even a garden facade that is the origin of the project. On the platform rises the prefabricated system. The pieces are inserted into steel rods anchored with epoxy glue to the platform. Inside, the same cracks help to support some wood pieces that become shelves, seating, tables and steps.

The house ignores possible finishes. The foundation slab melts with black pigment and hardener to become the finished floor final. The Flowerpots stays in its precast concrete finished as in its interior and exterior. On the top floor the lookout becomes the main space and robs its attention for any secondary element, allowing the passage of air and light, aligning the views of the distant mountains. Economy, simplicity and clarity. Working with the light, nature, temperate climate and available materials. Liberating austerity, allowing the enjoyment, the sensory and the connection with nature. Architecture Synthesis, which is held in a small number of its own laws. A single piece, a single constructive action of stacking the flowerpots. A flowerpots wall which converges the environment and the user. View Pentimento House detail [via] modern house design.

The main living level of this contemporary tree house sits in the canopy, among lush green leaves with the dewy earth rolling out below. According to the architect, “One has to actually stroll through the house to capture its complexities and its connection to the exterior with the use of a natural wood ceiling floating on curving laminated wood beams which pass through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.

Sagaponac House - Luxury Home Design

Sagaponac House, a weekend house designed by Stan Allen Architect, located in Eastern Long Island.

The single family house has been the privileged vehicle for formal, programmatic and technical experimentation in the 20th century. The Sagaponac House is a prototype weekend house designed for a wooded lot in Eastern Long Island. One of a number of houses commissioned for a new residential development, our project is characterized by its compact footprint, and open interior spaces. The active roofline and wood cladding recall vernacular traditions, while the open floor plan and interlocking of solid and void acknowledge contemporary, informal lifestyles. Filtered, ambient light that changes with the seasons and the time of day fills the house from the roof lights and window walls.

Photos are by Michael Moran and Bilyana Dimitrova. More Information about Sagaponac house [via] Modern House Design.
