Building Houses

Architectural studio «SNS» has executed design of the «Sacred Heart» school. School classes are divided by walls in the form of an infinity sign, on purpose to transfer to children understanding of infinite education potential.
The International School Without Frameworks
Absence of walls speaks about absence of borders in result achievement. Here there are no corridors, access to classes is carried out from the center. Each class room has the color, therefore it's convenient to pupil to find the class.




Building Houses

I've had a bit a thing for encampment projects recently. The notion of semi-permanent structures and rather than a solid mass, compartmentalising activities and rooms. The technique fitting well with iterative approaces and generation building - taking off or adding on a unit as needed...
Here's a few I love from around the net. Anyone have further recommendations?

Hoto Fudo in Japan
The building is called Hoto Fudo. At restaurant will submit noodles and other tasty traditional dishes. Air arrives outside and circulates inside thanks to large open apertures in walls which are closed by mobile doors during a cold season.

Torafu Architects, the architectural bureau from Tokyo, has constructed magic pavilion for company Nissan.
The huge hall is filled by transparent plastic spheres. Thus the automobile brand has presented the novelty, the car with electric motor PIVO 2.On a surface of sixteen spheres in the size from 4,5 to 10 meters in diameter various images are projected; inside they are filled by slices of a paper with messages from visitors.

Japanese architect Jo Nagasaka and the have come up with a home design that rethinks just how much space one person needs. 6,000 square feet? 600? Well, try 30 square feet.
The Paco home has a hammock to sleep on, a Japanese style recessed desk, and a sink, toilet and shower all in a crate that's a 3-meter-cube. It's not intended to replace where you live now, but rather to supplement it. It could be a beach house, a portable office — anything, really, as long as you find a way to lug it into place and hook up the water. Trying to open that hatch-like roof to get in doesn't look like the most comfortable solution, either, though maybe that's a doggy door on the side.
Still, toss some posters on the wall, maybe put a rug down, and you've got yourself a happy little home. Check out the gallery below for more of the Paco house.interior decoration
House Construction

Continuing the last posts stripy theme, which is about all these houses have in common, despite the Japanese link. This is Hiroaki Ohtani solution to infill in Japan.
The house is made up of pre-cast concrete strips, stacked unevenly to allow stairs, furniture and floors to be inserted in the gaps.
It's tight, claustrophobic, yet entirely open. There are no internal doors, apart from the sliding doors to the toilet.
Climbing up you reach the living room and galley kitchen with a steep set of stairs taking you to the roof deck, of which half is a glazed panel to bathe the main stairwell with light. The front of the house is a larged glass panel to let more light into the house and the rear wall has smaller window striped by the precast concrete.
Although flawed in size and solar capabilities, both in terms of heating the house and getting light in, it still seems warm with the living room and its pot bellied fire.
