Zerafa Architecture Studio have designed the Riverhouse in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

The house is comprised of three distinct horizontal volumes. The building’s north south massing is defined by 2 overlaid rectangular shells within which the glass, cedar and granite clad volumes for the interior living spaces are placed and a series of voids create covered exterior terraces. The shells are clad in silver metal panel and are mostly opaque to provide privacy from adjacent properties to the north and south. The open east and west ends of the shells reveal the River and garden views.

Greek firm 314 Architecture Atudio completed the design for H3 House, a futuristic residence suspended on pillars, which seems to hover over the blue waters of the neighboring swimming pool. The detached building has a total area of 300 square meters and was constructed on a land of 7000 suqare meters in the outskirts of Athens, Greece. If the shape of this project inspires that of a boat, it is no coincidence: the architects took the challenge of building a home to reflect the owner’s passion for yachts.

According to the architects, the bioclimatic concept of the dwelling (discovered on designboom) implements cooling through its contact with water and uses geothermal energy in order to reduce costs, thus making the project Eco-friendly. A generous outdoor terrace provides plenty of leisure space for the inhabitants to relax, while enjoying exquisite nature views in complete privacy. How would you comment on the overall design of this property?

Greenland Road Residence was especially envisioned by Studio One Architecture as a homey retreat, one to peacefully accommodate a family in Atlanta, Georgia. According to the architects, “the house is sited on the high side of the undulating property, sliced through a narrow gauge between existing setbacks, easements, and buffers. Conceived as a home for three generations, the design translated the program into an open plan of discrete zones of both public and private spaces”. A variety of windows and terraces open up each interior towards the rich neighboring landscape.

The project is not just aesthetically intriguing, it is also sustainable: “oriented along a topographic east-west axis, the home incorporates multiple low-tech features such as an underground rainwater collector as well as daylighting through the careful placement of deep overhangs above glazing to protect against heat gain in summer while allowing full sun to penetrate in winter”. Some of the high-tech systems include geothermal heating and cooling, argon gas-insulated glazing and recycled content. Inspiring coziness throughout, the Greenland Road Residence is an example of modern living at its best.
