Energy Efficient Modern House Design on a Picturesque Site

admin — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 03:02:07 +0000

Glen Echo house design is one of the modern houses at Glen Echo Enclave, Maryland. The house is a single family house with built up area of 8,000 sq feet on a 1.7 acres big site with plenty of mature hardwood trees overlooking the Potomac River. Glen Echo is one of the posh suburban areas in Washington DC. It was established long back in 1889 by two brothers Edwin and Edward Baltzley. They called it ‘Glen Echo on the Potomac, The Washington Rhine.’ They had plans to sell the plots to rich and affluent people to build their stone castles. Even today Glen Echo has retained its splendor. Glen Echo house is built on a pre-existing layout of the previous structure to avoid cutting down surrounding trees. The site with thick woods has a steep slope. The house is built without disturbing ecology of the site. An additional block is added to accommodate home office and guest quarters. A garage and office are on the ground level of this new structure. Upper level contains guest suite. A reflecting pool connects the additional block with the main house. The office block is built using Kalwall panels and translucent glass. This gives luminous glow to the structure.

Kalwall panels are translucent sandwich panels made of composites of wood, fibers, metal and polymers using advanced technology. They extract and convert free energy from the Sun that can be utilized for the purpose of heating or cooling and for lighting the space. The panels have amazing strength in spite of being lightweight. Kalwall panels are used for effective insulation in a modern house design. Entire house is built using pre-cast concrete planks, concrete slabs and terrazzo flooring. Pre cast concrete planks are used to cover the open spaces also. Pre cast concrete planks offer added safety during natural disasters like earthquake, flood, and hurricane. They also provide fire safety, and general occupant comfort like noise reduction, stability etc. Technique of glazing is used on the Southern wall. As a result the house is energy efficient and utilizes nature sunlight for heating and cooling purposes. Surrounding trees, reflecting pool of water and a suspended pool at the height of 20 feet also offer a huge relief from the summer heat. For the exteriors wood siding is done in soft gray. Bluestone gravel is spread in front of the house.

Interiors are done with white Oak Cabinets, white terrazzo tiles and Aluminum. Windows frames are made of black steel. Interiors are bright and with minimal details. As a result outdoor natural beauty draws the attention from inside. Glass doors give fantastic view of the woods. There are plenty of opportunities to reconnect with the picturesque beauty of the site.

Geometric Shaped Creative And Contemporary Home Design

admin — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 03:19:09 +0000

Traditional home designs have four exterior sides. If your property has a beautiful scenic view, a geometric home design with more than four exterior sides, for example pentagons or octagons, can offer a better all encompassing view of the scenery outside. Geometric home design coupled with contemporary interiors gives a dramatic effect to the property surrounded by scenic beauty.

Today I am going to share the images of a luxury house called Casa Zafra, designed by a Spanish architect Eduardo Arroyo. Eduardo Arroyo is a well known architect for his understanding of not only Spanish architecture, but the European architecture as a whole. His architectural design incorporates various elements of pragmatism, rigor, playful geometry, simplicity, and aesthetics. This is a asymmetric geometry oriented polygonal house built on top of a golf course. The geometric house design extensively uses wire mesh and metal architecture. The wire mesh serves as an aesthetic accent as well as a shield against golf balls.

Casa Zafra is a two story contemporary house surrounded by distant landscapes. There are no houses in vicinity except empty surroundings. The house is designed keeping in mind that each and every room gets a unique view of surrounding landscapes. Living room offers mountain view, upper level bedroom has a view of the old city and a river, and exterior terrace and golf course can be seen from the kitchen. The entire exteriors have jagged holes of irregular geometrical shapes. Natural light filters through these holes inside the sleek interiors at different times of the day.

Entire South façade is covered with metal mesh protecting dining room and bedroom from the golf balls and direct sunlight. There are two enclosed terraces upstairs. Both the terraces open to the sky only. One of them has an exclusive collection of cacti and the other terrace has screened openings that maintain the privacy of the residents. Entire interiors of the house have no doors, yet each space is defined and serve their respective purposes.

The residents of the house have contemporary lifestyle. Minimalist interiors of the modern geometric house reflect the lifestyle of the residents. Interiors of the house reflect the state of mind of the residents, relaxed and clutter free. Interior space is defined beautifully by minimum objects. Natural light filtering through the various openings and its different hues give a unique style and aura to the interiors. This modern geometric house is a creatively designed piece of art in wide open surroundings.
