Wood House Design: InBetween House in Japan

Company Koji Tsutsui Architect & Associates presented a draft InBetween House. Represented by a series of cottages in the mountains near Tokyo, the residence was designed as a place where customers would be happy to come back after a hard day in the bustling metropolis and to have a rest in natural surroundings. The total area of ??residence is about 180 sq.m. and it consists of five separate cottages under one roof. They are made from wood in a traditional Japanese-style. Each cottage is different in size and shape to set on site at 30 degree increments to best fit the topography. The passageways between the blocks resemble the streets and join premises, rather than divide them, creating an atmosphere of unity with nature.

Mountain Residence Maison Val d’Entremont in Switzerland
Swiss studio Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes presented a draft mountain residence Maison Val d'Entremont. This modern three-storey family home is situated at the top of a mountain village, in Valais, Switzerland, and is famous for its panoramic view of 360 degrees. Surrounded by pastures and rolling hills, there is an atmosphere of calmness and deliberateness. The residence has a simple geometric form and it was built according to tradition of this region, so it blends well with the background of the neighboring houses. And only windows around the perimeter of the second floor add some originality. The facades are made of pre-weathered wood which will gradually get darker and adapt to the barns of the village to be integrated and become a timeless building.

Contemporary Mountain Residence by John Maniscalco Architecture

This beautiful house in the mountains was designed by John Maniscalco Architecture, and it?s located close to the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort in Norden, California. While the first level of the house is made from cedar, the second level is glazed, so the most spectacular views of the surrounding forest are seen from there. In the interior decoration there are many wood breeds such as spruce and walnut, which give the interior of the house warm pleasant feeling that is so necessary to lodge in the mountains. From architects'? description: ?Perched on a concrete plinth that lifts the house above the tall winter snow-pack, a solid, cedar-clad volume houses sleeping areas, boot room, and service spaces. Above, a variety of living spaces, each enjoying mountain views, are gathered under a simple, bent planar roof form. The exaggerated geometry of the openings frame views of horizontal snow drifts and vertical stands of pine trees?.
