Villa Room in Rhenen, Netherlands by Paul de Ruiter

The first design concept of this Villa Room was to allow the daily activities of the residents to form the main structure of the building. The owner wanted a studio, a view of the garden and an exhibition space. Her partner, a man with a passion for energy and technology, wanted a house that could be controlled, in relation to both the indoor climate and the degree of privacy. The result is a villa which, although providing space to sleep, eat, and live, does not have a traditional living room.

The villa is arranged around an open space with a roof through which light can enter. The northern light that falls in the centre of the house through the roof and the glass wall of the patio is ideal for the activities in the studio on the ground floor. The ground floor has a primarily ‘public’ function, such as the reception of guests, exhibitions and chamber concerts, and has a large, inviting kitchen/dining space. The living room is more secluded and is located in a relatively small corner, adjacent to the terrace.

Remota Hotel in Patagonia Chile by German del Sol

Designed by Germán del Sol the 5,213.46 sqm of Remota Hotel located in Provincia de Última Esperanza, Magallanes, Patagonia, Chile. Sitting on the water amidst a wheat field, the structure looks like rising and falling flickering lights. Shaped like a piece from the mountain range across the water, the Remota Hotel fits into its landscape. The irregular window shapes also add a nice touch and give amazing views of the surrounding environment. The hallways are stark wood but light filled and contrast with the warm and inviting looking rooms.

For its structure, remote hotel used a concrete structure of pillars, slabs and interior walls,to ensure room privacy and fireproofing. The structure is enclosed by waterproof plywood panels with a 1 foot thick expanded polyurethane core as insulation. The panels are coated with a synthetic asphalt membrane to provide the building with the best insulation, and protection against the rain and wind.

The asphalt membrane is covered with black fine gravel to protect it from the UV rays. The PVC double glazing thermo windowpanes, form a continuous sequence of vertical openings in the exterior walls.

Clip House in Madrid Spain by Bernalte León y Asociados

The architects at Bernalte-León y Asociados have designed this highly sculptural design formed from copper planes cantilevered from a vertical concrete spine “Clip House” located in Madrid, Spain.

This awesome clip house design has been shortlisted for the 2009 Copper in Architecture Awards. The winner will be announced on September 29 at a ceremony held in London.

The plan of this clip house was strongly conditioned by the life-style of the client and his work in the field of advertising, with its requirements for creativity.

The building process is based on a rational module system with a sequence of tolled steel foils anchored to the concrete wall (to both frameworks where allowing the passage of the ducts), this shaping the development of the foils.

The installations have been inserted between the outer and the inner framework thanks to a process of excellent workmanship guaranteed by the builder in order to achieve a flawless integration in the architectural elements.

The furnishing and decoration of the spaces was one of the main worries of our client, which gave way to a personal and eclectic result, based on the architecture on the whole, which definitely responds to the personality of the client himself.
