Dwelling in Pozuelo de Alarcón by A-cero Architects Posted: 14 Sep 2010 12:34 AM PDT A-cero architecture studio have designed a house in the town of Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain. . Description of the Dwelling in Pozuelo de Alarcón by A-cero Architects A-cero architecture studio is presenting a house that A-cero recently finished in “La Finca” estate in the town Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid). This project is smaller (1000m2) than the rest buildings of this housing development. Its smaller dimensions turn it into a comfortable and practical house that invites to enjoy it and offers the maximum life quality. Its modern design based on impossible angles, projecting and spectacular volumes do of this building one of the maximum exponents of the A-cero architecture.  The façade of the house is made of travertine marble which is combined with dark grey granite in several areas, as in the vertical plane of the main façade. White has the main role in the building (in interiors and exteriors).  Furthermore, it has numerous ample windows. Both elements give to the house a lot of light and vitality.   The house plot has a rectangular shape and a surface of 4.500 m ². It has a direct access from a private road located in the north. In the south area is a wide garden which is joined with the urban development green spaces. It is a two storey building (ground floor and basement). Both levels are perfectly adapted to plot slope where the house takes place. In the main entrance is a hall which communicates with an ample wide lounge and a dining room. Both stays overturn towards the back façade. They have plenty ample windows that are opened for a porch where other lounge and dining room are.  In this exterior area is a barbecue and a spectacular bar designed by A-cero besides a exterior swimming pool (with jacuzzi). In this level also is the kitchen, cleaning room and service area (it includes a living room, two bedrooms and two baths) with an independent exterior access. In the opposite side of this level is located the principal bedroom. It is decorated in white and golden colours and has a large window. This room includes a dressing-room and a huge bathroom. By an interior stairs you can go down to the basement where three bedrooms are with their bathrooms and a games room. Furthermore, in this level is a gym, a cinema rooms, wine vault, the facilities quarters and the garage.  House furniture has been designed by A-cero with top quality materials and finishes. It is a clear sculptural inspiration work  in which A-cero has looked for combining its architecture concept with the essential functionality thar every houses need.

The Pop Rivet Bench by TAF Posted: 13 Sep 2010 01:36 PM PDT Swedish architects TAF have designed the Pop Rivet Bench. To celebrate the 2010 London Design Festival and mark the London launch of The Lollipop Shoppe, TAF were invited among 10 other furniture designers to create one of 10 public benches. . Description from TAF: The bench TAF have been working on is a combination between two traditional handicrafts. We used the visual expression from the antique Swedish Bentwood boxes for keeping butter (Sw; Svepask). They were traditionally made of layers of wood bent around an oval shaped bottom held in place with birchwood lacing. The wood is translated into swept aluminum sheets and instead of laces we used big Pop Rivets. The construction and the production method is very pragmatically chosen and makes the project very easy to produce and use. Pop Rivet is 3 pieces of aluminum sheets (front, back and the back rest) that are swept around the oval shaped aluminum seat. It is then drilled and put together with Pop rivets which is a very well-known and simple technique for put materials together. We think the technique is under estimated since it is really smart, functional and also brings a pattern to the product. Visit the TAF website – here. Photo: Joakim Bergström . .

Enjoy Low Energy Stylish Lighting With The Twisted Plumen Light Bulb Posted: 13 Sep 2010 09:46 AM PDT Style and ecology now normally comes along with the vast call for fighting global warming. Almost all of us are now aware that we can help save the earth on our own little way and patronizing these eco-friendly product designs is just a mere example. The Plumen 001 light bulb is a lighting system design by Hulger that comes in twisted design making it a stylish lighting system to illuminate your modern home. Despite of the style it has, the Plumen designer never forgets to give back to the environment by making the Plumen an energy saving light bulb. With this product keeping your home stylishly illuminated whilst keeping the environment safe, has never been easy. -via From: Plumen

House at Point Lonsdale by Studio101 Architects Posted: 13 Sep 2010 03:59 AM PDT Studio101 Architects have designed a house in Point Lonsdale, Australia. . Description from Studio101 Architects: This permanent beachside home, designed for a young family is located in an established, heavily treed native coastal environment. The rectilinear nature of the site and natural typography encouraged a simple yet highly efficient floor plan incorporating three pavilions linked by a continuous circulation spine.  The eastern pavilion houses the sleeping and bathing zones while the living zones are orientated to the north. The primary living space contains the kitchen/dining/living and floats above a masonry podium, cranking towards true north to maximise sun exposure and frame the elevated treed outlook. Each pavilion is wrapped in a skin of White Cypress timber that visually folds and interlocks with the expressed concrete block work blade walls. The primary block work spine provides a continuity of materials from outside to within allowing an honest and space-defining structural element that also provides for thermal mass to the internal environment. Cross flow ventilation is maximised through a combination of operable systems including sliding glazed doors, louvre windows, along with windows at both high and low levels. The central courtyard allows the house to breathe and provides varying degrees of openness and intimacy, light and fresh air. Sustainable living solutions include double glazed windows with Argon gas, rain water is harvested into a water tank, grey water is reused for irrigation while sustainably managed timber and low voc coatings are used extensively. The result is a home that harmonises and integrates peacefully within its natural context. Visit the Studio101 Architects website – here. Photography by Mein Photo .
