House Design

Fro a basic form this house in Utrecht, Netherlands is something that stands out in the countryside landscape. Designed by Amsterdam architect Rocha Tombal, House Bierings has timber-clad and differently shaped windows at various angles on all sides. The house is unusual not only outside. At the ground floor it has the angled ceiling with different shaped openings that provide natural light to interior. The kitchen is the heart of this home. It has big glass wall straight into the garden. The living room at the same time is a quiet, north-lighted attic space, from which a big opening exposes the surrounding green like in a framed painting.Tubac house is located in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. It’s one of several houses in deserts designed by Rick Joy. Even though the house looks quite modest it’s beautiful and eye-catching. Like usual houses it has a garden and a courtyard but plants there are cactuses. The whole cactus is looks like oasis because of its cool dark areas, the sound of water, the smell of flowers and so on. It features a cropped view of Tumacacaori Park which is located near by. A negative edge pool located at the west end of the courtyard extends the experience to this view. The coarseness of the rough steel exterior contrasts with the refinement of the interior palette of white plaster, stainless steel, maple, and translucent glass.
