Day 59- The world's most extraordinary homes series #1

House in Itsuura / ADX

➨ Function: House
➨ Location: Itzura, Japan
➨ Area: 204 m2

Hello people,

Hope you're doing great.

On the recommendation of one of my friends to watch the projects in the Netflix series; The world's most extraordinary homes, I decided to start analyzing the projects the series represents. Starting from the episode that was shot in Japan.

Let's get into the project

The project takes place in a coastal area that is known for its fish wealth, the land belongs to a fisherman that wanted to design a house for his family, the site is challenging because settles in a sloped area surrounded by trees.

The solution that the architects found was to raise the building above the ground using timber pillars and to design in respect to the surrounded tree V-shaped building. the house was described as a combination between cottages design and Japanese craft. A lot of the details like the sun shading elements and interior walkways were inspired by the traditional house design.

Ternion Villas / Studio Toggle Hello, snowman, hope you're doing fine I'm really not getting ArchDaily's algorithm of choosing projects, like how often they change the featured projects and how they choose it. Well, today I made my own choice. After analyzing the work market, I figured that most of the jobs are residential projects in Arab bay, therefor I started seeking projects in the field, and I ended up working on designing a villa's facade in Saudi Arabia. After this short story, I think you figured out today's project. It is a villa in Kuwait. I need to get familiar with their design codes, So BEAR with me. Well, let's get into the project. The project site that is located near the bay's threshold, is made of three villas. the main design criteria are creating introverted climate-controlled spaces. The masses are divided according to the wind, sun, and view. The living spaces like the kitchen and the living room are located on the ground floor arou...

Friendship Hospital Satkhira / Kashef Chowdhury/URBANA hello people, First, let give ArchDaily a thanks note for their featured building today. After hopeless days finally, today's building is interested. It was my first time reading about a building in Bangladesh. Finding this beautiful hospital in a rural area has raised a small hope inside me. Z. note : Today I tried an alternative method in reading the project, I tried to find the principles behind the structure, developing principles that are related to the context of the site and the function of the building could be really critical, but, you know, that is the fun part of the design process. Z. note: I used a more diagrammatic representation method today. Although I really enjoyed you guys my ghost army and although I started this blog for myself. The need for people's approval is pushing me to promote this blog by opening an Instagram page. Well, let's get into the project. The 8 bedrooms hospital si...

I know you've been waiting :') Today's topic is a little different, recently with a human organization building low-cost houses for refugees in northern Syria. the discussion of how the design of refugees camp should be has been around, especially with the same organization launching a competition for a new camp next year. I didn't decide to join yet, but there is no harm with small research, Therefore, Today I started searching for a refugee camp, well there are very few ones. So I grow my search circle and came to social houses. hoping I will get to understand the principles of designing camps. Well after a long introduction, Let's get into the project. After WWII, the need for quick and affordable houses has emerged, especially with the wave of immigrants moving to the city for work. Today's project considers one of the biggest modern social house project...
