Futuristic Lift house by Apollo Architects and Associates

The Japanese architecture firm Apollo Architects has recently presented its new unusual Lift house in the residential district of downtown Sendai, Japan. This futuristic three-storeyed house is characterized by seamless geometric volumes and an impenetrable façade. It stands out among the crowd of the quiet houses in the neighborhood. The main outstanding feature is the protruding upper floor which offers some shade and protection to the cars parked below it. This space is available for the parking zone for two cars. The most of the light comes from the unusual façade but also through the inner private terrace, found inside the house. The interior is characterized by large open spaces arranged around a central courtyard. Dark louvers on the slanted facade act as a shield to the residence, providing views outwards but not in.

Moon House by Antonino Cardillo

Moon, a beautiful celestial body, becomes closer to Earth in the suburb of Melbourne due to the Moon concrete house by Antonino Cardillo, the architect who got inspiration while looking at the night sky. This unique private building is divided into two absolutely different parts. One of them looks like a concrete semispherical moon and is intended for guests and public. Other, the private one, takes the form of a long, narrow building set against the perimeter. It creates a portico open to the garden but closed to the car park. These two parts harmonize with each other; signs of one often appear in the other. The style of the house is sustained in warm palette of colours. The interior is spacey, airy and cozy.

The Unique Arc House by Maziar Behrooz Architecture

This amazing residence was built by Maziar Behrooz Architecture for a small family of two and their two big dogs. It?s located in East Hampton, NY, near the local airport and train track. The architects considered this fact and accentuated it in house\\\'s exterior by making it look like an airplane hangar. Such structure does not only look extraordinary, but is also very cost-effective because it doesn?t require too many supporting walls or columns inside of the building. The arc contains just some of the facilities, such as living, dining rooms and the kitchen, whereas the rest of the house is very well integrated to the landscape, housing some of the more intimate areas. The materials for the house were selected with energy saving in mind, making the power consuption of this house much lower than of the typical house of this size.
