Here is a home which manages to combine playfulness with soberness. Designed by Judd Lysenko Marshall Architects, and comes with a highly original architecture. Here is a fun version of the brief of the project from the architects: ” No, they said. Make it Saint Kilda.And, make it light. Make it bright. Make it tight. Add all of the green stuff too, please. And, we want it beachy. Maybe like a boat? And it better be fun. Serious fun.Hmn. How about spotted gum? Or even better, spotty gum…” Not always easy being an architect? Well, in this case we think the team did a great job in meeting the client’ expectations. This building is unique, colorful, alive, and perfect for a family home with kids. Moreover, sustainability is a strong feature of this place, as the house is equipped with solar panels, natural ventilation systems and wide windows of unusual shapes for filling the interiors with natural light.

A Summer House with Nature
We don’t know about you but we have always loved homes that are surrounded by trees and vegetation. There is something so relaxing about them. Okay, maybe they don’t have those spectacular views or the always-play-on mood you associate with beach houses but they are just so connected with nature. And this home rendered out(computer generated) by Garciarchitek is a glowing example of what we are trying to point out here.

Rotating House by Rolf disch
Rolf Disch has designed a new house with a solar-collecting array on top that follows the Sun all day long, but the real feat of engineering comes from the structure itself. The entire house rotates on a central axle. The front of the house is composed of triple-glazed glass to point toward that glowing ball of gas in the sky during the winter, while a heavily insulated backside rotates around to keep the heat at bay during those warm summer months.
And that balcony you see at the top? That isn’t a simple railing system; those are solar vacuum tubes for heating water and moving it throughout the house. This house is so energy efficient it actually generates more energy than it needs. And I thought the five-star energy rating for my new home was a big deal.

Spanish Villa Architecture by Marcel Wanders
ARCHITECTURE based in Los Angeles and Switzerland led by founding partners Sebastian Knorr, Heiko Ostmann and Moritz Knorr have won numerous international awards, including the "NEXT" L. A. AIA Award and the American Institute of Architects Honor Design Award. Their collaboration with the Marcel Wanders Studio resulted in Casa Son Vida 1 on the Spanish island of Mallorca that seems to be the perfect combination of architecture and interior design. Casa Son Vida 1 located near Palma in the exclusive Son Vida community is the first of six planned villas on the island, Casa Son.

Pyramid tent House
The juxtaposition of such lifestyle extremes – fixed-space suburban living and nomadic world-travel dwelling – makes for a fascinating conceptual challenge. It was, in fact, similarly neighboring opposites that gave rise to the idea in the mid of design student living on a lovely nature-filled campus but surrounded by suburbia on all sides.
John Paananen took it upon himself to discover what would happen if he were to make over one of the most mobile kinds of traditional buildings – the tipi, with inspiration from its yurt, tent and igloo cousins – turning it into a stationary home with all of the creature comforts to be found in contemporary suburbs.
Instead of a portable and organically-evolved design, he chose to force-fit the general shape and style of a conventional nomadic dwelling into the space and settings. Rather than put the emphasis on easy construction (and deconstruction) for living on the move, the construction methods and materials follow those of a typical suburban house – complete with a wood frame and artificial siding (no poles and soft materials one would expect).
The results? a translucent-skinned, semi-solid structure that lacks the mobility of a historic yurt, tent or tipi – almost a parody of (or at least a commentary on) the static nature of modern dwellings. Furnished in clean and casual style, the interior gives a strange not to nature via a forest printed in photo-realistic fashion on the wall. So is this art, architecture or something else? That only you can judge – but it sure looks more comfortable than what most people take camping. Still, if you are looking for one on sale look elsewhere: this one-off design was anything but cheap and easy to buy parts for and assemble – which, in a way, is part of the point.

Natural Scenery
Looks like a tree hugger designed this one! The space reflects a deep sense of oneness with natural surroundings. The living room area opens into the view of a lovely tree. The golden, wooden and green hues and the tons of natural lighting give the room the feel of walking through a forest in the spring time. Elements like bowls of fruit and the multi textured wooden furniture used in the living room, kitchen and the bedrooms convey the diversity of nature. The bedroom retains a sense of more privacy with the use of monochromes. The intelligent use of the natural light itself to become a part of the décor reinforces the spirit of natural surroundings.
