Family Residence

Modern Family Aptos Retreat by CCS Architecture

San Francisco-based studio CCS Architecture, presented a project of Aptos Retreat. This residential house occupies an area of 260 sq.m. and looks very original. It was designed for a family with 6 children and built in the mountains near Santa Cruz. Located on a hill, the residence is famous for its stunning views of the mountains and the ocean. It looks pretty rough, but the geometry of the architecture is not so simple. The house consists of two main parts, one of which overlaps the other. In one block there is a sleeping area with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and in the other you’ll find a sitting area, which consists of a lounge, kitchen and dining room. On the second floor of this block there is a master bedroom. In addition to the main buildings the project includes a spacious hangar. It is a place for recreation and entertainment, but it can also provide extra sleeping space for guests.

The Extraordinary Villa San Valentino by Stephan Unger

Just breathtaking Villa San Valentino by Stephan Unger is located in Merano-Alto Adige, Italy. This family residence should provide a comfort living for the cohabitation of 3 generations with common spaces. First of all, the house impresses us with its unusual shape, the original facade and panoramic glazing on each side. All in this dwelling combine modern design and traditional craft and materials. The chosen materials are typical for the place: marble of Lasa, porphyr, granite, wood of the larch and the oak.
