The Scholl Residence by Studio B Architects

The Scholl Residence is one of the best modern home design ideas created by Studio B Architects located in Aspen, Colorado. The steep site possessed challenges with drainage, topography, a small footprint, restrictive easements and was required to address very limiting neighborhood design review standards.

Contextually, the area was developed in the 1960’s and surrounding residents were quite resistant to the architectural direction. Although the neighborhood is one of transition, this was the greatest challenge in realizing the project.

The clients dwell between Miami and Aspen and are avid collectors of videography and photography. They requested a solution and an architecture that would exhibit their expanding and revolving collection. The exterior is composed of custom zinc panels, sand-blasted concrete, aluminum window/door glazing system and tempered glass railings

The interiors consist of darkened oak flooring, cantilevered pickled oak stairs and floors, European engineered cabinetry, Carerra marble, porcelain tile shower enclosures and integral plaster walls and ceilings. The architecture is reduced to its essence and is calculated and sober in its detailing. Resolution of plan and elevation were reduced to the lowest denominator and honesty of a process.

The lower level is completely below grade and houses the formal gallery space, large wine cellar and provides two guest suites with an attached massage room.

The entry level offers the client’s office, a guest bedroom, laundry/mudroom area and the garage. The upper level contains the living, dining, kitchen, master suite and opens to the balcony and private garden with access to a roof terrace via a cantilevered steel stair. A small dumbwaiter shuttles wine from cellar to rooftop.

House 14 by Dane Richardson

Designed by Australian architect Dane Richardson, this architectural design of House 14 with its large open plan on its main living room that form the central core of the building is located in Eagle Bay, Western Australia.

The House 14 space was divided into areas with clear functions. The north facing terrace with its built in “fire box” is the focus of all outside entertaining. The open “fire box” provides a fantastic place to sit and star gaze in the evening.

The planning divides the building into three wings. Children’s bedrooms, guest room, bathroom and games/tv room to the western side. The master bedroom and study to the eastern side and the main living volume & court yard central to these wings.

Cantilevers and exposed structural elements feature and further add to the strong lines of the building. Upper levels provide shelter for lower levels. The entry is screened with high stone walls and a planted court yard; this rustic relaxed threshold must be crossed prior to entering the sharper aesthetic of the building. Stone work is featured in other areas and on the main terrace. The owners shipped a set of old Indian temple doors to the project which were integrated into the stone walls of the entry court, this rustic touch ties in with the coarseness of the stone.

The combination of timber and stone is used to soften and relax the harder geometry of the building. The 4.5m high glazed walls of the main living room open the space to valley views. Sun penetration and heat loss is controlled via electronic window blinds and low emission glass.

The home engages a range low energy use systems and passive solar design principles. It is equipped with a home automation system, collects all potable water, re-uses grey water, utilises low energy & low water use fittings.

Hinterland House Architecture in Australia by Morris Partnership Architecture

Designed by Morris Partnership Architecture, this residential architecture project of Hinterland House is located on a remote site and engages with the Australian landscape and redefines the boundary between interior and exterior.

Arriving at Hinterland House is a startling experience. The sandy track winds through the sloping site and stops at a gravel clearing. A powerful rammed earth wall, firmly anchored to the ground, enables other elements to float. The site seems to flow through the building and there is no obvious entry – the house is deliberately elusive; it challenges expectations.

The architecture allows views of the site to be enjoyed and confronted – the dam, modest scrub, bushfire-scarred eucalypts and abundant wildlife. The design is a fragmented building with living, working and sleeping zones separated by glazed slots, links and open spaces.

Once inside, the excitement of the building and the site is revealed. Personal privacy is created without the use of barriers. Movement between zones provides a continual disconnection that is reinforced by changes in materials. The house requires a journey with minimal definition between the interior and exterior.

This house is provocative in its rejection of any easy gratification of the aesthetic – it invites the occupants to think, observe and encounter the uniqueness of the Australian bush.
