Modern Facades

Small house of three floors, we know a modern interior and a facade with sheets of recycled wood.

On the day of the date we bring you a new somewhat peculiar information post. We say peculiar because it is a sustainable style house, in which we will find particularities such as a very modern interior, a facade armed entirely with sheets of recycled wood, and as if this were not enough, three separate floors in an impeccable manner for each space inside the house.

This little one three floors house, it should include in its requirements a reduction of 70% of water, an 90% of use of recycled or certified materials, besides obviously having a unique quality of air inside.

In order to meet this requirement, it was proposed to carry out a façade with recycled wood sheets, generating unanimity in the style, also placed photovoltaic panels on the roof and small windows, a key point to maintain a warm interior without losing air.

Inside, working night and day with the aim of purging the hot air and only leave room for fresh and clean air, we will find the use of the Zehnder ventilation system, which not only achieves the mentioned objective, but at the same time manages to maintain a pleasant temperature all year round.

In order to reach a «Green construction», the project architect proposed the use of a hot water heat pump, with which in this way, it could provide both hot water and heating floor or underfloor heating.

The same wood proposed for the façade was also used inside. As we can see in one of its bedrooms and different interior spaces of this house, its distribution presents modern spaces and it resembles a unique visual amplitude, contributing in the same way to the aforementioned green construction.

The doors and windows offer wooden frames that serve as a waterproof and watertight seal to air leaks and sound of the city, thus guaranteeing the comfort of its occupants.

Next, as usual in Facades World, we will leave you more images so that you can enjoy this beautiful home, and in addition, we will also offer you the plans of this one.

Sustainable Construction: Sustainable Architecture. Knowing the eco-construction ...

If we internalize a little in this new topic, we will see that the Sustainable Architecture It would not make sense without a sustainable construction, which we can say is based on a series of necessary principles so that the result can respond to their demands.

One of the most important rules within the Eco Construction It is referred to the size. Beyond the fact that a small construction would require less materials, and therefore the environmental impact would be less, other factors such as carbon footprint, durability, landscape impact, materials or functionality will also influence it. bioclimatic design. We are starting with the copies so you can see what we mean ...

The approach that a sustainable construction, it must be conformed by the famous rule of the three erres, being able to "reduce", "reuse" and "recycle" each of the things used for such construction. For this, it is always good to have the advice of professionals specialized in this field, not only to architects, but also to those who regularly resort to sustainable projects.

Another point to keep in mind is the choice of land in which we want to build our home, and the Construction materials so that it is durable. Based on that, below we will show you some unique samples, which we hope you can help them by broadening their views regarding building and sustainability.

For the eco materials fulfill their function within the construction and this is sustainable, we must make all the pieces of the puzzle fit together: performance of green energies, taking advantage of the weather conditions that we find ourselves, isolation, passive systems, etc ... only to avoid wasting money in the future to solve problems or unforeseen events, but also to achieve the main objective, a sustainable construction.

On the other hand, the well-being and comfort of the people who live in this construction is also very important, which does not have to be incompatible with the sustainability of housing or with any other type of construction.

Although the costs of the materials that can be implemented in the building may be higher, it is also true that long-term energy savings, they represent a saving that sincerely is worth the investment. Being able to be installed renewable energy systems to allow us to supply and a series of practices that manage to reduce energy losses, over time the architectural and energy sustainability, result in a significant overall savings if you give up a good quality of life.

The gift of San Juan Cosalá

On the edge of the Laguna de Chapala, in San Juan Cosalá, Mexico, is located a weekend house which aims to see the largest natural lake in the country from each of its spaces.

Counting on a North-South orientation its main facade is oriented towards the water. In this entrance, both pedestrian and vehicular access were placed, thus generating a parking lot. If you look towards what would be the western part of the land, we will see the kitchen, the room for its managers and the concierge services.

Use of Stone in Modern Facades

When our house has a facade that includes stone As a construction and protection element, it is not only a positive point when it comes to protecting our home against some natural elements such as rain, hail or sun, but it also gives a very warm image to the whole.

In addition to this, a suitable placement will make our housing stand out from the rest within our neighborhood, also having an added bonus since requires little maintenance.

Use of Wood on the exterior floor and Dark Stone Blocks on all walls

When designing a modern house, surely one of the first ideas that cross our minds will be the use of glass and metal, or concrete; but what perhaps we sometimes overlook, is that this kind of coating (stone) used properly, achieve an incredible warmth in the final design.

Let us think that, above all, the combination of stone and wood it makes the houses highlight some of the parts of its structure, and that, thanks to the roughness in the texture of the stone, adds a lot of character to the architectural construction.

Combining materials used in avant-garde constructions As for example steel in its natural color, architects sometimes design stone facades in modern houses. As we can see in the images, the aforementioned materials must be placed properly in order to achieve the desired effect, bearing in mind that a bad choice between the texture of the stone, the chosen colors and other materials, can give a counterproductive result .

We present a modern house which deserves to be highlighted, since its cost is lower compared to other styles and qualities. Therefore, it has the advantage of having a faster construction and greater functionality. It optimizes the interior spaces because it is built based on the needs of the inhabitants. This prefabricated house has two modules of steel chassis.

It has a flat roof and a floor. Inside we can find a kitchen, dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms, and if desired, you can also add a terrace optionally.

user comments — Modern facade with straight lines

At its facade you can appreciate the architectural design of straight lines, simple, aesthetic and current appearance. The entrance door was made of plated steel enamelled in white and inside it has interior doors in smooth pine and stainless steel cranks. We can see that the main window is wide and the doors are of less height than the conventional.

The windows are not necessarily very big because the space is reduced and in this case the environment can be easily illuminated. Of course in the modern style we will not find ornaments, highlighting the simple forms contrasted with the blank space thanks to the painting of the walls.

We can enjoy a bedroom full of lighting and repeated use of white to simulate a larger space. And also, we will highlight the floor in floating floor Oak. In the bathroom we find the white enamelled toilets with some contrasts in dark tones. In the living room we find the white walls, the lighting and the decoration in dark contrasting tones. As we said before, the design basically obeys functional criteria, that is, the house is projected from the inside out.

One aspect about structure of modern houses is that they do not hide their materials since the structure is independent of the covers. We leave the rest of the images so they can enjoy them and of course use them as an example for updates in their respective homes.

The design is part of its appeal and is attributed to the award-winning architect Peter Stuchbury, who carried out and finalized this project in 2001. We can see its bold, innovative and beautiful facade that perfectly complements the nature of the place. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms whose views are highlighted by the wonderful beaches of North Sydney, Australia.

The lifting roof creates dynamic and functional interior spaces, it is manufactured in Cradle of wood That is why the edges are free and simple, which helps to promote an atmosphere of serenity typical of beach houses of the past. The triangular space of the facade It corresponds to generate a different form of the house and in this crossing the entrance is defined. The two wooden wedges extend in opposite directions, one towards the ocean and the other towards the sky. In addition, the decrease in horizontal windows provides views of the beach.

As the house is located on a steep hill overlooking the ocean and the rocky coastline of the beaches of North Sydney, a balcony was designed to make the most of the view towards the sea to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Lighting is an important part of this Beach house. For the same reason and to take advantage of the natural light, large windows were installed.

In the underground we will find the garage, which has storage capacity for two vehicles. Finishing, the house has two floors in which were placed exterior stairs due to the unevenness of the natural scenery. The delicate garden is the work of the landscape painter Phoebe Pape.

It has pop-out style kitchen and with glass walls that frame the views of the sea and the garden. In the hallway that separates the rooms, a guest area and bathroom. And of course one of the most remarkable things is that we can glimpse the ocean from most points of this house.

Expandable Ecological House

We present this house in New Orleans (Luisana, USA), which dazzled us for its originality, purity and practicality. It is ideal for any place, but more than anything in delta areas or near rivers and streams with potential floods.

It has 168 square meters on two floors, expandable to 250. It was built in 2008 by the Architect Studio Element, for the Foundation Make it Right. It is made of steel and wood

Make It Right was founded by Brad Pitt at 2007. Build homes, buildings and communities for people in need, originally due to natural disasters. All of their projects are LEED Platinum certified and are inspired by the Cradle to Cradle system of Architect Bill McDonough, based on green building.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and left thousands of people homeless. The government relocated them to prefabricated homes, but many were built with toxic materials. That's where Make it Right was born, to rebuild the city with low-cost homes, but healthy and sustainable. For that, architects were invited to comply with the Cradle to Cradle guidelines that maintain that green design can help prevent environmental disasters and promote the economy.

This modern house It fascinated us because in addition to fulfilling all of this, it is expandable by 82 m2 in an economic, easy, fast and tasteful way. Its design is versatile and adapts to different needs. It is sustainable and efficient because -among other things- its facade south is protected from bad weather and achieves natural cross ventilation.

They used steel-safe structures and efficient and ecological infrastructures, building half of the maximum allowed covered volume. The rest begins as a huge and comfortable porch, ready for the expansions of the original house or even for a second home. It serves as a space for family gatherings or with neighbors. In a second stage you can help to increase the value of the property by the expansion, or to earn money from the sale of a second home that can be built at medium cost.

We hope you like it and offer ideas and inspiration!
