There is so much creativity in the design of the D house each inside and out and yet the house is seamlessly integrated into the banks of the estuary that it sits on. In Brittany, France and Iode made architecture, this house is all wrapped a creative expression of modern, rustic and modern components in a residence of contrasts waterfront.
The site is both inclined and flat and the architect took advantage of the duality of cocooning the private rooms in the hillside and exposing the social sector to the surrounding views of the walls operable glazing that can be deferred and stacked out of the way for the sought-after following indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
If the weather permits, and the windows are open, the continuation of the stone slabs in the outer zone blurs the boundary between the interior and the the exterior even additional by. on the duality of property
With the water '; s edge as close from the outside connectivity was extremely important, how great it is to be on the water pulling you go to your house back kayaking and inside without even opening a door!
As much as the indoor-outdoor connectivity and the combination of wood with glass provides a sense of duality in the system, do so the juxtaposition of the machine cut wood with living wood edge. The straight sections of wood to produce each a shade and privacy to the 2nd story decks and windows, while the life edge wooden planks that will help cover the rest of the 2nd volume of the cladding structure within its surrounding landscape.
Leaving both the edited and the living edge wooden unfinished, so that it can Aging Gracefully extra in a soft silver-gray patina enhances the reunification of house with landscape.
The Disappearing Act of constructing becomes clear when seen from the water.
From near the camouflage allows effects on the surrounding stone tiles as properly as to settle the glass and wooden walls property comfortably in his environment and let the view of the trees and water on at the focal point.
In the evening, when the lights are on the ability to see through and previous home keeps the landscape in advance and in person.
by covering the stairs great until you read about the on the main level floors used exactly the same tile, adjust the tilt barely noticeable from the distance.
The entry is positioned against the concrete retaining wall against the slope and unusual, rather then always glass, the two doors are solid masses tonally on the concrete tuned.
The entry leads directly into the kitchen with the dining room on the left and a closet in the slope on the right side.
Two of the window sections facing the kitchen and dining room feature rows of wooden shelves in front of them.
The light for the dining area comes from a spectacular trailer, the additional advanced cable includes pinned with a random aesthetics on the ceiling, the development of critical Drama in the otherwise quiet geometric environment. In full contrast to this wild and great moment of light for the kitchen comes from a large geometric void in the ceiling and a series of evenly spaced followers on the island.
Extra-light comes from the row of clerestory windows above the slope on the concrete retaining wall positioned. The dark void in the wall is an entrance alcove that leads to the first of the two bathrooms on this level.
The artistic installation of back shelves in the center of the development is in fact the staircase balustrade. The manner in which the dark, steel shelf supports is staggered so a fantastic artistic expression that it would be for me a shame, no mementos or books to be placed over them.
Just past the staircase is a creative masterpiece in the form of a fireplace. The upper white chimney volume increases the vertical shape of the horizontal emptiness in the ceiling and seems completely out of the fireplace with separate. This shutdown eliminated, which otherwise a large continuous obstacle to the views beyond. - Really effectively accomplished
The emptiness in the living room ceiling creates a visual connection to the upstairs terrace.
The terrace has a wall of glass, the display in the living room.
A second light installation above the sofa in the living area is an additional abstract moment, which was supplemented by the oversized vintage hunting, but completely modern Anglepoise floor lamp.
In addition to the contrasts and the geometry of the path that bends concrete retaining wall around the corner and slices over a portion of the glazing generation two equal triangular sections of transparency and mass.
The second shower room on the primary floor is right behind the staircase volume. It is also tucked into the hillside and a massive storage area inside the slope is accessed by its end wall.
The Shelves / sculptural installation, which is the railing makes it possible for everyone to flood the views and natural light in the stairwell.
Back to top The flooring changes from tile to convert wood and the walls of glass to dry, while a corridor connecting two master suites with a special additional bedroom.
In contrast to the hallway, all the rooms are a dark gray provides a bleak aesthetic to a relaxing and sleep-inducing atmosphere to develop painted.
This bedroom attributes each have a wooden floor and ceiling although the master suite over the living room for an additional layer of soundproofing carpet.
has the master suite on the kitchen, a private terrace, which is down to the kitchen to be correct, as over the dam. It is exactly the same layout as the second master suite determined over the housing and only the foliage and the soil, which the. From this vantage point
To be the processed wood that seems the terrace, creating a Sentinel surrounded clock over the landscape as the trees reached in towards him.
The master suite more sets the wooden floor as the living room through their closet and bathroom, but the room location is colored with champagne covered carpeting , Here is a window in wooden slats covered with views of the wooded hillside behind the house.
While the windows overlooking the trees, the views from the terrace are all over the waterscape.
If you bet on the terrace there is also a look at the social zone under.
The two master suites have identical floor plans in the bedroom and terrace, it is only when you use the on the wardrobes and bathroom, changing elements appear and while the bedroom with the terrace overlooking the sea has the greater chance that other master suite the larger bathroom and closet area. So which do you prefer? - Bathroom and closet, terrace view
