Fort Lola / visiondivision
Our friends from visiondivision sent us this interesting project. A Swedish family wanted a dream house in the south of Spain that at the same time could be turned into an invisible fort when the client is not there. Passing the house on the nearby road one will only see a garage. If you would accidentally walk pass the hidden garden you will see a façade with a flower patterned mesh.
The client will experience a totally different house. Inside the garage there is a spiral staircase inside a steel cylinder leading down to a big living room, and as the mesh is flipped into sun protecting panes, the panoramic view towards the surrounding mountains will appear from all the social rooms and the bedrooms. The bathrooms are located towards the hill and will have a cave-like appearance.
More images after the break.

Great idea and provacative collages. I will only say that an owner of a house like this probably wouldn’t own a porsche gt3 and 3 crotch rockets. I’m not even going to say how I feel about the four rifles. ;)
And although spiral staircases look pretty they are really unpractical and really annoying to use. And in the section why wouldn’t you undulate or at least step the roof??? that much soil is an engineering nightmare let alone a good hard storm will cause a monsterous landslide of a mess right into the pool below. :P hahaha.
Great house! Looks like something a superhero would appreciate. The images are much more vivid than the plain renderings you see everyday too. So many cool projects coming out from this office right now!
really mystic
woho nice garage :)
i like the green roof as well
This is a project of had in my head for a while! Wish I was working on it for you!
Really nicely done – the rendering technique is really interesting!
w o w ! !
would be a cool movie in this house
A quite dark one comparing to the Rapid Palace but i like it a lot!
It´s a nice idea but it doesn’t quite work yet, the section is not well thought of, it´s too much weight in top of such a fragile structure, looks bad, besides what do you actually gain with that? The main render with the dude floating around also sucks…
They totally stole my childhood vision of my dreamhouse. Only mine was bigger and quarried in a steep cliff facing west. Ha!
I want to live in this house.
Classy building, hands down!
