Het Zwarte Huis Bakers Architecten, Utrecht, Netherland

Dutch firm Bakers Architecten completed these brick-clad apartments in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Its appear to float above a curtain wall of glass.

Het Zwarte Huis, or The Black House, is spread across three storeys with the upper two, which comprise six apartments, finished in Kolumba bricks. The ground floor, which forms an office, has become the architect’s new premises. The block sits on the apex of a curved street with a double-height bay window affording panoramic views.

Here’s some more from the architects:

In Utrecht’s museum quarter, just south of the city centre, there was for many years a vacant plot on the corner of Lange Nieuwstraat and Vrouwjuttenstraat. This site in the midst of historical buildings is now occupied by ‘Het Zwarte Huis’ (The Black House), a complex containing six apartments with semi-underground parking and the new premises of Bakers Architecten.

The streetscape is characterized by heterogeneous, lot-by-lot development with distinctive corner buildings. Het Zwarte Huis is a contemporary addition to the existing urban fabric, in which the notion of ‘living above work’ has been accentuated by placing the dwellings in a solid volume on top of a glazed podium.

House on the Castle Mountainside by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, Valencia, Spain

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos designed this amazing house that is located in Ayora, Valencia, Spain.

The building is located in a landscape of unique beauty, the result of a natural and evident growth. The mountain, topped by a castle, is covered by a blanket housing through a system of aggregation by simple juxtaposition of pieces generated fragmented target tissue that adapts to the topography.

The project proposes to integrate into the environment, respecting their strategies of adaptation to the environment and materials away from the mimesis that would lead to misleading historicism, and showing the time constructively to meet the requirements of the “new people.” In this way the house is conceived as a piece placed on the ground, joining in the gap.

A piece built on the same white lime, the same primacy of the massif on the opening, which takes the edge of the site to have their holes and integrated into the fragmentation of the environment.

L-Shaped House by NAT Architects, Amsterdam, Netherland

NAT Architecten designed this L-shaped house that occupies a lot right between the street an the water.

The side that faces the street is just one level and the side that faces the water is three level with a fully transparent facade. The ground floor is a loft-like space with a timber panel that divides the children’s place to play and the parents place to cook and meet with friends. The other two levels are divided between parent and children so they have their own privacy.

The Fredensborg House by NORM Architects, Copenhagen, Denmark

NORM Architects have recently completed the great interior for a House near Copenhagen, Denmark.

On a sloping property north of Copenhagen, the Fredensborg House is built on five small plateaus connected by steps, reflecting the shape of its surrounding terrain. The house aesthetic is derived from inspirations brought about by the labyrinthine mountain village architecture, those that you may find familiar in Southern Europe, the architecture of Chinese temples, and in the works of modernist Danish architecture Jorn Utzon.

Modern House Patio by VMX Architects, Amsterdam, Netherland

VMX Architects designed this house that is located in IJburg, Amsterdam, Netherland. In the design of this house there are two classical typologies combined: the patio villa and the manor house, or domus.

Horizontally the house has been divided in three parts. The ground floor is designed as a basement, with the entrance to the house, the storage space, and a large play and hobby room adjoining the garden. The patio with the kitchen is an open space on the first floor. The sitting room, or lounge with a view of the garden and the street, is situated above the kitchen.

The top floor of the house is reserved for the bedrooms and bathroom. The facades of the S-house are clad in bright yellow tiles that clearly sets the house apart from all other houses in the same row.

The Narrow House by Bassam El-Okeily, Bilzen, Belgium

Bassam El Okeily designed this very interesting house in a small city called Bilzen in Belgium. Bassam El Okeily designed this house for a couple passioned by history and art.

The house has a closed ground floor exterior (entrance & garage) topped by a total transparency in glass. The display window reveals two balconies in skewed positions projection from a white façade.

The lower balcony contains a reading corner for a library belonging to the gentleman of the house, while providing him with a sheltered view of the street. The upper balcony accommodates an artist’s studio, the private domain of his wife. Blue light turn the façade into a spectacular light sculpture after dark.

Architecture become a pretext to chair something else than the sidewalk. A house is a space to live; it could also be a place to remain.

what‘s a house? A space to live, to project our happiness between four walls, then to spread out our vanity outside these walls.

Can there be space for something else?
A space for our melancholy, our scars, Then the luggage of our memories.

It is a narrow house which leaves with its threshold, our thousand and one smooth and invented lives.

It is a narrow house which offers to a narrow street: the history of a man, a woman and their passions.

History of a house imagined to live. But also to remain.

Special thanks to Bassam El Okeily for sharing!

Villa in St. Niklausen by Niklaus Graber & Christoph Steiger, Switzerland

This Villa based in St. Niklausen, Switzerland has been created by Niklaus Graber & Christoph Steiger Architekten.

The potential of the various spaces unfolds in a sophisticated game of indoor and outdoor areas, which are directed to a spatial sequence. The mutual position of the wings of the building reacts to the different directions of view and sunlight and various outdoor spaces that are created in interaction with the living quarters.

The location and the volumetric organisation of the villa interpret the specific qualities of the site on both a larger and a smaller scale. The topography of the land, which slopes gently down to the lake, the incomparable view and the sunny position generate a multi-structured building that divides the linear plot of land into different areas. Forecourt, court terrace and shore zone form a sequence of specific venues that accompany the inhabitants and visitors from the roads to the lake.

The vertical staggering and the expansion of the building respond in a subtly differentiated way to the different neighbourhoods and inner and outer views while achieving precise settlement in the land.

House in Hiroshima by Suppose Design Office, Japan

The unique design of the house is a relationship between the building and its exterior elements.

Japanese architects Suppose Design Office completed this house in Hiroshima that is surrounded by an offset concrete shell to create a series of triangular terraces between the inner and outer walls. The house was designed for a couple with two children, and has a garage, master bedroom and entrance hall on the ground floor.

On the first and second storeys the spaces between the wall and house have been filled with perforated steel, creating terraces that allow light into the courtyards below.  Rooms sit at an angle to the surrounding wall, giving the terraces and courtyards their triangular shape.

The external wall is made of reinforced concrete while the house is a steel frame construction.
