Country House Design by Juan Herreros Arquitectos

Built in 130 sqm constructed area, this architects -Juan Herreros Arquitectos converts an existing vernacular structure that formerly served as a refuge for shepherds into a small residence for occasional use. The approach consisted of replicating the original volume symmetrically to conserve the original conditions and technical function of an apparently innocent construction that was designed intelligently where its orientation, ventilation and water collection facilities, etc. were concerned. The interior reproduces the original and primitive compartments for animals, shepherds and forage. In two directions: In north side there are kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In the south side there are set for dining room, living room and study room. Each compartment contains one single major object like table, sofa, writing desk, bath, bed and cooker which serves to define each space and its use.

The Sea Ranch-Wooden House by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop

This is wooden house designed in 1,030 square larger landscapes situated in The Sea Ranch, California. The house design is inspired by Japanese simplicity and almost entirely made of wood. Simple from the outside and in, it has a continuous band of windows and doors capture stunning views and the natural light. Cedar ceilings and sheetrock walls create a clean minimalist interior. Grass planted header steps spill down from the deck out into the meadow.
The materials was layering to reveal the steel and framing of the wood window wall. The white painted walls form the major walls and by reserving the exposed wood and steel construction for the shaped walls and bays could use the detailing to further reinforce the overall site and spatial experience of moving from hedgerow to meadow. The house on the meadow shows that there is a very quite and comfortable way to live. See Architect Website for more information.

Dragging your attention away, to the left is a bay window type dining room, accented by a white grid of window panes and shadowed from the noon sun. True to the open plan, the kitchen seamlessly overlooks the main living space, allowing distractions whilst cooking.

The interior design palette of natural woods and limestone, white walls and fabrics, frosted and clear plate-glass creates a crisp and airy environment to appreciate the Pacific Ocean setting. A true Urban Spa,the elements were hand picked to portray the theme of air, light, and water.
Ground-floor living room and adjacent sitting room offer shadowed relief from the sunlit terraces beyond, with cooling white and dark wood tones in the furniture and materials.
Cool, ocean-blue frosted glass lines the walls and windows (that face another house on these sought-after lots). Behind the glass swing doors are the toilet and shower. Dark wenge wood – used throughout the house as an accent – encases the tub, vanity, and spacious closets. The rich brown colour gently contrasts with the limestone counters and floors.

Green Kindergarten Sighartstein by kadawittfeldarchitektur

Design by Kadawittfeldarchitektur, the concept of the “kindergarten-in-motion” includes the surrounding area of unspoilt nature. The design of the building is developed from two horizontal layers that surround a central hall and courtyard. The oversized “grass blades” communicate the building’s unique identity and provides an orientation marker for the kindergarten. The fat roofed two-story cubic building optimally distributes the functions of a kindergarten. On the ground foor, one fnds the space for the kindergarten groups – with direct access to the garden. The multi-functional space unfolds itself in the building interior. Various shades of green take up the grass theme to define the individual areas.To the east are additional rooms such as the personnel area, administration, quiet room and mess hall.
The psychological workings of the color green play an important role: Green is a color that calms and harmonizes. .Green enhances qualities such as helpfulness, endurance, tolerance, and contentedness. In color therapy, green is viewed as a neutral healing color that balances without causing bodily pain or counter-reactions. It creates a space for gathering energy and promotes regeneration. Green conveys the notion of freshness and youth, but also immaturity.
