PLUS

January 22nd, 2010

PLUS is the name of the weekend house designed by Mount Fuji Architects Studio. It’s located on the Japanese mountainside of Izu-san and it has an amazing view on the Pacific Ocean. I guess I don’t have to explain why I like this house. They sure used quite a lot of marble.

CSD Architecten

December 23rd, 2009

This is the house of Britt Crepain & Stefan Spaens in the center of Antwerp (Belgium). Together with Joep Debie they form CSD Archtecten, so they designed and build their own home themselves. The footprint of the house is only 50 sqm (4 x 12.5 meters) but the have a basement, ground floor, 4 split-levels and a roof terrace. Brit also designed the kitchen, library, wardrobes etc. They really optimized every room, behind the door in the library there’s a toilet. The rooms, the light, the materials, the interior … when can I move in?

House H by Sou Fujimoto

November 15th, 2009

House H is the latest project by Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo. It’s new experiment to find a balance between volumes, spaces and light. There’re a lot of stairs in this house and I’m also wondering where the bedrooms are. But I wouldn’t mind if Sou would do some projects in Berlin. Here are 2 other projects by Sou Fujimoto: House N and Next Generation House.

Turning the Place Over

October 26th, 2009

Turning the Place Over by Richard Wilson was an installation commisioned for the Liverpool 2008 Biennial. He made an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.
