From Peter Cohan Architect: The L2Q House makes efficient use of its 1,940 square feet. It has an open plan with generous walls for art and shelves for books. A kinetic stair in the center becomes the focal point. The rectangular form, the use of durable materials and a simple structural system make the house economcal and easy to maintain. Its orientation to the south provides optimal daylighting and solar access. Concrete floors, advanced framing, rainscreen walls and the use of appropriate materials contribute to a strategy of energy and resource conservation.

Project description from Diseño Earle:
Situated within an exclusive private development of just 28 individual villas near Estepona, Las Olas sits in a commanding position with extensive glazing affording spectacular panoramic views.

Project description from From pbc+l Architecture:
Our client, who is in this case the project contractor, has a passion for building things, for spending time outdoors, and for his Harley Davidson. He asked that we design for him a house modeled after a copy of tobacco barn. We responded by designing a house influenced by the simplicity and economy of the vernacular model, yet spirited in composition and refined in detail. The proportions of the tobacco barn model are clearly evident in the end elevations of the house.

Project Description by ODOS Architects: Set in an industrial area of dublin city centre, these three mews dwellings appear from the street as a mysterious, robust and impenetrable mass. The cantilevered upper section is a composition of powder coated metal industrial flooring planks, arranged in varying widths to create a rhythm and have been periodically doubled in depth creating a moire or interference pattern. Views of foliage and tree tops coming through and over the front screen hint at what lies beyond and it is only as you pass through the metal exterior that the warm, light filled heart of the building is exposed. The interior of each dwelling is an experience of colour, light and shadow.

As described by gigaplex Architects: A cozy home to accommodate single man and weekend guests, including grandchildren, next to Provo River. Two linked corrugated metal grain silos arranged to allow the largest (27’ diameter) to have the most proximate visual and aural access to the Provo River, and the southern exposure to ensure passive solar heat gain during the winter. An electric mesh is embedded into the slabs of the lower floor as a first auxiliary heat source, and a propane-burning stove (manageable by internet) will provide the back-up. The metal grating and guard rail of the second level deck will provide shading into this great-room space during the summer months. Includes a “Bed in a Box” concept, each one complete with stereo sound and flat screen monitor.

From Parasite Architecture Studio: The project transforms an existing one floor building into a single family housing unit, that exposes within its volume the intervention and functional areas. It is an object-house inserted into a typical Romanian single family housing neighborhood, trying to constitute an alternative.

Residence

The house is a wooden box standing on a concrete basement on a slooping site facing the water. The organisastional sturcture, based on two crossing axis, creates an intricate interior space where rooms are connected to each other in various overlapping ways. The coherent interior details and furniture are specially designed and built for the project.
