É uma casa pequena, construída no jardim de trás da casa existente. O cliente nos pediu para investigar a possibilidade de construir um novo lar menor no jardim que envolve a parte detrás da casa. Eles moram em uma casa grande com muitos quartos no entanto, agora que as crianças estão maiores encontram essa necessidade. Esta é uma proposta de plano de habitação linear, piso térreo constituído por dois quartos, escritório, cozinha e sala de jantar e sala de estar…………………………….. Mais [...]

I know what you mean, and the service wall idea was one that we looked at during the early stages of design, but the proximity to the exisiting house and constraints applied by the local building authority meant that we had a very narrow footprint within which to work, we could go no closer to the existing house and we were also extremely reticant to reduce the size of the new house’s garden space. Thanks for the link though, thats another beautiful project.

…though, for a linear-plan house with little or no views, you have to look at the brilliant Japanese firm Suppose Design and their Obama house;

They use the longitudinal space as a service zone, freeing up the regular-shaped areas for living functions. Seems that similar benefits could be incorporated into this zone in your plan along the site wall.

I oversimplified the relevance of the Phifer house site design and agree with you that the projects are similar only in plan. Phifer was designing for a pristine idyllic site; I see now that your site required a rather urban strategy to accommodate privacy and access, perhaps though at the cost of views.

Conceptually similar perhaps, but I fail to see why you think Phifers section relates to his site in a more meaningful manner? As far as I can tell, his site was was a large field, his section is very similar to ours other than he had a budget to do extensive landscaping to the area behind the house, allowing him to ramp the earth up. I’m not disagreeing that its a beautiful house, and I’m certainly not comparing our work to his, I’m just eager to hear what it is specifically that you feel our design lacks? Have you read the project description? If not then you should, as it will tell you that this site is directly behind a large existing house, thus dictating many of the design moves we made.

The plan for this house is good – quite well resolved though it suffers in 3D; i.e., the section, elevation and connection to the site are underdeveloped. Look at Phifer’s Spencertown House for a conceptually similar plan that has been very thoughtfully considered in site section, and meticulously carried through to each last detail.

Thanks for your kind words guys!

I remember seeing this as a preliminary design in pushpullbar.com, where the difficulties of the program and the excellent site solution were explained and praised respectively. I for one am taken by the tectonics, and the amount of light it brings unto all interior spaces. Well done!

Agreed, can’t wait to see it constructed.

The timber portal frames look fantastic. Great use of hdri backgrounds also, they give the images a warmth (are those hdri or photoshoped backgrounds?).
