With its name deriving from the North Star (easy to spot though the
skylight the kid’s bedroom), Polaris House was designed by Boston-based
architect Bob Augustine and is located in Middlesex County,
Massachusetts, USA. The exterior of the residence is adapted to the
wood-defined architecture of the neighborhood. The entrance is easy to
spot, due to the zinc-clad silo, contrasting the rest of the building
finished in Western Red Cedar. The interiors were especially developed
with a playful, childish vision in mind. Vivid colors and eye-catching
lighting fixtures fill the house. As the client explained, the living
space “is all about the kids.” A circular metal stair, painted in a
striking industrial orange hue, acts as the focal point of the residence
and guides inhabitants towards the second floor, where a library and a
home office are located. Find this unusual color mix appealing?
Near the medieval Slovenian town of Škofja Loka, a farm property was
transformed by the replacement of an ancient farm building with this
crisp, modern three-story home. The home, built by Arhitetektura d.o.o.,
sits in exactly the same location as the farm building it replaced,
sharing the very same dimensions, with the same slope used as a
prominent influence in the home’s shape.
This unusual motorcycle-friendly apartment building in Tokyo is the
result of a design collaboration between Akiyoshi Takagi Architects,
Nakae Architects and Ohno Japan- it wouldn’t come as a surprise if all
these three companies shared a common interest. Structured on three
levels and consisting of eight separate homes, the project was
especially developed with adventure in mind, and when we say adventure,
we mean the endless passion for the road shared by its inhabitants. Each
of the eight housing units has its own built-in garage space to store
the roaring motorcycles. The building itself is defined by concrete and
was envisioned around a central courtyard. Its innovative architectural
design ensures plenty of space for each apartment, not to mention room
for the wheelers to ride a bit and make a complete turn. Talk about cool
exclusive buildings!
This transformation of an old garage into a very stylish contemporary
residence took place under the attentive supervision of Italian studio
Ego Vitamina Creativa. The duplex apartment is located in a city in
northern Italy, named Cuneo and bares the name Casa LD. Distributed on
two floors connected by a sculptural staircase, the public and private
spaces are linked through design and color palette. A bright, elegant
downstairs living/dining/cooking area seems to be separated by a wide
column pierced by a transparent fireplace, but the fluid spaces appear
strongly connected. Wooden floors reflect in the wodden ceiling,
displaying the same longitudinal design that seems to elongate rays of
natural light coming through glass doors and windows. Ego Vitamina
Creativa imagined a living space where design lines intertwine to shape a
dark wooden piece of furniture running alongside the wall opposite the
kitchen. This versatile construction acts as a storage space and
supports the folded, painted and perforated metal staircase railing
leading to the upstairs bedroom. This unique feature completes the
apartment’s design and the floor plan proves that careful space
arrangement also needs a focal point to create an interesting interior
design.
The modular fenestration of this school building in western
Switzerland was inspired by shapes from 1980s computer game Tetris.
Designed by Swiss architects ipas, the four-storey block is an extension
to an existing secondary school and a glass bridge connects it to the
main building at second-floor level. The building is located near the
forest and its large windows fully open the school on its wooded
surroundings.
