Green Architectural Design of Centrifugal Villa by OBRA Architects

OBRA Architects was designed villa with the green concept in Southampton, New York called Centrifugal Villa. This villa arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body. The Exterior of centrifugal Villa design dominated with eco-material like wood. The house utilizes geothermal heating and incorporates passive energy-saving techniques, including a narrow-section interior to allow natural ventilation and a sequence and layout of dormer windows and openings to permit generous daylighting and minimal artificial lighting needs. Read the Architects description after the images.





Description From The Architects.

…..The house, defined by this idea rather than a formal imposition, cannibalizes the local “vernacular,” distorting it through hexagonal introspection of the plan and the transposed proportion of the parts.

Set on a 5-acre property overlooking an agricultural reserve, the project includes a poolhouse with a separate guesthouse and garage structure. Designed as wood post-and-beam structure, the exterior cladding is detailed with vertical board and batten seams to give continuity to the building exterior and encourage a uninterrupted rhythmic flow around the elevations.
