The Klein Bottle House, World Architecture Festival’s Home Of The Year 2009

With this fantastic unusual design, The Klein Bottle House by Mcbride Charles Ryan architects managed to successfully challenge the competition in winning this year’s award for best home of 2009, at the World Architecture Festival.






The impressive residence is located in Rye, Australia, within beautiful natural surroundings. The complexity of the architecture is given by the unexpected angles, achieved using computer aided design (cad). The interiors are also out-of-this-world in shape and form, still maintaining the feeling of modern and elegance.

Modern Q-House Design

The Q-House is located in Northen Spain and it was designed by asensio_mah in collaboration with JMAguirre Aldaz and it was finished in May 2009. The building is organized in three bands that are arranged around a central circulation core. These three bands maintain a prevailing orientation in the northeast-southwest direction to secure maximum daylight in every room. While the bands configure and organize the different rooms, the circulation core underpins a switchback pattern of shifting orientations with the gradual vertical movement through the house.









The house is clad in dark “composite” panels that have been customized with digital fabrication techniques. These customized panels are used to articulate sections of the house volume in order to introduce legibility to the overall form. These panels offer a range of different surface consistencies and patterns to the house that reflect the sites changing light conditions in multiple ways, producing an ever changing range of texture and tones. The house is a conscious exercise in developing an alternative domestic environment to the surrounding villas of the new suburban neighborhood. The solutions for the development so far have typically been compact villas located on abruptly leveled gardens, irrespective of the complex topographical condition of their sites. Our ambition for producing an alternative domestic atmosphere is developed by constructing a more explicit relationship between the house and garden with the existing conditions of the steep site. This organizational strategy for the house sought to register the difference in topography within the parcel by organizing a series of terraces that configure the framework for a landscape with differentiated characters.This deliberate geometric configuration affords multiple readings of the outline of the house while facilitating a rich experiential lifestyle within its volume and landscape. Specific organizational and material strategies were developed to produce different volumetric and perceptual readings that change with the different vantage points towards and within the house.

The Modern House Design Caught Between The Sea And The Mountains

The design of the building includes large apertures, so that each room is “open” and connected with the environment. This way the the North side of the house is “open even while closed”. The unusual edge of the roof houses the 6sqm terrace from where one can enjoy the surrounding natural beauties.







Unless you are planning on building your house suspended at a high altitude above beautiful landscapes, it cannot get better than this: building a place where you can wake up and see the mountains everyday and falling asleep after enjoying a beautiful sunset by the sea. This house comes from Suppose Design Office and it is located in Otake, Japan.

Nico Van Der Meulen Architects (or simply Nico) are a team of registered architects with the South African Council and they have a truly impressive portfolio. The first project from Nico we would like to show you is called “The Glass House” and is located in Johannesburg, South Africa.













The brief included the fact that the future owner of the house wanted a “glamorous contemporary open-plan light-filled house that offered a view to the garden from every room”. The garden is not exactly a classical one, but a modern green space which includes a pool and a decorative round fountain. We will let you enjoy the pictures now and all the elements that make this house a dream crib.
