RED ROCK HOUSE

Location: Red Rock, NY
Architect: Anmahian Winton Architects

Area: 6400 sf

Located in a densely wooded area, the home finds itself among nature.

Home has features that help place itself with in the forests, including a rock wall protruding from the earth, into the massing of the facade, as well as protruding wooden beams, with steel accents touching up the home for character.

The large windows and rooms that are directed toward the forests provide for seasonal views that add character to the home.

This is an old project but is really interesting. It was developed by Antoine Predock in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1967.In this community, townhouses was created with the main purpose of connect the people with the space, providing indoor-outdoor life in each unit.  The concern with natural and local elements is fascinating as well the concern with people and how they would enjoy the space.
They adapted building forms and materials to provide protection from a widely varying climate in the region. According to Predock, the massive adobe walls serve as heat reservoirs and form acoustical barriers. The patios offer shelter from winter winds, yet act as receptors for trapping solar radiation. Following the existing contours, the units step longitudinally down the hillside. This stepped form fosters connections with the adjacent river landscape and the distant peaks.

Black and white is a classical combination that fits perfectly with this house. the simplicity of those colors, make the shape even more straight and neat, creating a simple but elegant building. this house consists basically in two box one above the other.

Casa taller Cubo By Cazu Zegers- Nathalia Linhares (5)

Designed to be a studio for an artist, this cube shape house in  Kawelluco-Chile is a refuge from the word, offering all the peace and inspiring nature that an artist needs to create. The house is located in a remote region, facing an amazing volcano!!!The tree floor wood house, is designed in a singular way, being the second and third floor mezzanines perpendicular one from the other. these perpendicular mezzanines extend to the outside of the house, creating different size balcony in each floor. I like this house because of the simplicity of the shape and the artistic feeling the gives to me. I would love to spend some good days in this house drawing and creating.
