Facade of two-story house in Mexico

We well know that architecture in a certain sense is the most important tool for man to interact with the landscape or with the environment that surrounds us, only through it can we appropriate a landscape and live it. In today's issue, a design of modern house in Mexico, the intention is precisely to appropriate the privileged environment in which the lake is situated and felt as part of the home.

The front view shows us the facade of a modern house with stones, the shape of the house is characteristic of the houses in the area and is imposed by a local regulation. The main view of the lake to the north and the cold sub-humid climate forced to seek solar orientation in other directions, for this side balconies were opened thanks to which it was possible to receive solar radiation in the mornings and afternoons, too. taking advantage of the sharper angles of the shape of this modern two-story house.

The mixture of natural materials such as: stone, wood, steel and glass; along with the high-rise sharp spaces create a warm and contemporary atmosphere. Defining this construction, we can say that it is of modern conception with traditional construction materials and techniques of the site, a house with stone facade (back facade) whose interiors share a traditional and rustic definition in turn.

Materials for construction, we show you some innovative specimens

On the date of the date, Facades World will offer you various constructive materials that will be of great help. Knowing that the architectural market is very varied and is constantly changing, we believe that these copies can solve some doubts that, surely, make their works or ideas something completely unique.

Due to the rise of the ideas of sustainability, energy efficiency and respect for the environment by which we are surrounded today, in the construction environment it will no longer be enough for the building to be the most spectacular, the most expensive or the tallest, It will also be necessary that the constructions be respectful with the planet, of quality and that they consume little energy. Here are some of these innovative materials.

Synthetic tiles

Mostly the synthetic tiles They are made of recycled plastics and limestone, their benefits are due to the fact that they are sustainable, around 50% cheaper than traditional ones, have a useful life of more than 50 years and are then 100% recyclable.

Another option is the photovoltaic tiles, which in this case is a more expensive product than the traditional one, but which ends up being profitable thanks to the energy generated.

Fiber panels and composites

These panels are a good idea to apply in enclosures, interior partitions and roofs. An interesting product are the panels formed by a combination of kevlar, fiberglass and carbon fiber which turn out to be a more economical 30% and 3 times more resistant than a traditional brick partition.

Construction made entirely with Compoplak

This is a synthetic material, so it is immune to rodents and insects and this also makes it have a longer shelf life. Of course, it is efficient and totally ecological. This is an insulating material, which has many benefits, including energy savings of up to 50%, produces 100 times less waste than brick and is 100% recyclable.

Ecological bricks

If we want to replace the traditional brick In favor of any other material that is cheaper, more efficient and that pollutes the least in its production, there are several alternative solutions to the traditional baked clay brick, some are glass or plastic recycled treatments and others start from pressed natural as compressed earth.

Norman Foster airport prototype, built with Durabric

One of the options is Durabric, for an brick that is made by mixing water, earth and cement, compressing the mixture in a mold and allowing it to set naturally, without fire. With this process, up to 14 trees are saved for each house built, since wood is not used as fuel in the manufacture of brick. By avoiding the firing process, Durabric reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to ten times compared to traditional fired bricks. In terms of cost, building a wall with Durabric is 20% cheaper than with fired clay bricks.

Another interesting product is Biomason, for an ecological brick which, although it seems incredible, is generated from microorganisms. This ecological alternative does not release CO2 in its production and is cheaper, since it comes from natural resources. The Biomason brick is created at room temperature, feeding the microorganisms with materials such as sand and generating conditions in which they begin to produce crystals until, finally, they give rise to a brick.

Counter-laminated wood panels

The MGA architecture studio and DVVD engineering have developed massive wooden panels, which can be up to 2,40 x 20 meters and in various thicknesses, and can be used directly as structural material. Is about cross-laminated panels, formed by layers of wood arranged longitudinally and transversely, glued together, forming plates of solid wood.

Interior of a house under construction with cross-laminated wood

About us Altermateria He has built a building of 6 tall plants using these wooden plates. In addition, since wood is better insulator than concrete, these buildings have a better thermal behavior and are more energy efficient. Of course, the use of paneled and its derivatives are not limited only to the structure of buildings but can be extended to interior partitions, facades, etc.

Self-healing concretes and concretes

The University of Alicante has recently presented a transparent and flexible resin able to self-repair after being cut with scissors. Simply put the two parts in contact to rejoin it in a few 15 seconds. In addition, it also has shape memory, so whether it is crushed or manipulated, it regains the original shape in a few seconds. It is a material still experimental but that could have multiple applications in the construction, as for example in enclosures, constructive joints or even combined with other materials.

Along the same path, researchers from the Technological University of Delft have developed a bio-concrete capable of self-repair. The process is reminiscent of the Biomason bricks. It consists of introducing into the concrete a new additive composed of small capsules containing bacteria and calcium lactate, when the capsules are broken (by the action of water that penetrates the cracks) the activity of the bacteria causes a chemical reaction that creates solidified limestone and insoluble. In the event of cracks in the concrete, this process would be activated that would fill and repair them. This bio-concrete has already been successfully tested at a lifeguard station in the Netherlands.

Solar paint

The photovoltaic paint is applied as if it were a spray

La solar paint It is still under development but, at the University of Sheffield, they have created the first spray capable of transforming any type of surface into a solar energy panel thanks to a mineral called perovskite, which has the property of absorbing light. Its efficiency is 20% compared to 25% achieved by silicon solar panels, but this lower efficiency makes up for it with its easy application on almost any imaginable surface. Another of its advantages is capacity to generate energy even in conditions of low solar luminosity and a lower cost than the photovoltaic panel. Undoubtedly this painting would eliminate many barriers when it comes to the implementation of photovoltaic systems.

Brick House in Chile, we show super bright interiors and Plans

Again we are in Facades World with a new entry. On the day of the date, it is up to a remodeling generated in Chile, in Villa Alemana, where we will see a termination of completely modern housing, ideal for a family of 4 people. Let's get started ...

Mainly and as we already mentioned, the assignment consisted of remodeling and expansion of a house that was built in the 60 decade, located on a flat plot of 289 m2 with only 74 m2 built. The owners, a young couple with small children, requested three things as a premise: usable spaces for children and in turn for meetings, in order to keep them controlled and in turn have a space to enjoy visitors, programmatic flexibility, and good lighting.

Beyond the limited budget that was available, the expansion of this brick dwelling He contemplated the construction of the master bedroom with a bathroom in addition to a small laundry room. Then, thanks to the materiality used, it was sought that it did not have to be covered, that is why the architects thought of tax brick reinforced by a Steel frame for the new structural walls. In the same way we acted with the floor, which was directly applied a painting of high traffic.

The main action focused on designing a new relationship between the house and its patio. To achieve this, the house was programmatically ordered to allow the possibility of generating relations of interior-exterior use. Added to this, a wall was created whose solid-void ratio, projected the interior spaces towards the patio, thus leaving its condition and transforming into an area of extension of the interior enclosures.

Main house and subsequent remodeling of the house

Thanks to the aforementioned, illuminated enclosures were generated inside the remodeled housing, with a living room that became the driving center for daily use and social activities in the house.

Meanwhile, the part of the patio, which we can only access from inside the building, supports the vocation of the enclosures with which it connects on the outside. Next, we show you a little of his interior design to be able to generate more ideas for their possible remodeling or construction.

Lighting

Sometimes, the simple fact of altering the lighting of the facade can give it a totally different look. In modern houses this resource is widely used to illuminate the walls and floors. In these cases you will have to decide for white light as the low consumption, light bulbs of warm light, or led lights of other colors (there are many colors available).

But if your home only has an outdoor luminaire and you do not need to add more than that, consider renovating the lampholders and replacing them with wall lanterns. This will give a special touch to your home.

Another option is to add simple road lights with solar charge, they would be an ideal complement for your facade and are easy to get and place.

Small house Traditional style, rustic exteriors and modern interiors.

Presenting a Design inspired by a traditional environment, combining it with the contemporary style, this small house of 52 square meters presents harmonious and comfortable interiors. That's why in Facades World We think that this beautiful and cozy home can be a great example for our entire community. So without further ado, let's start with it ...

Since architecture of ancient peoples should be preserved, the design of this project preserves this premise. That is why we proposed a compact design with a minimum number of windows, using materials that are existing in the area to create a contemporary structure and keep its relationship with the environment.

pequena-vivienda-estilo-tradicional-exteriores-rusticos-e-interiors-modernos-1 — Rustic facade with use of stone and wooden doors

As we can see, the most striking and significant of this project is its stone facade and the sloping roof, since its conception was designed does not lose the rural protagonism. In addition to proposing wood to form the doors, a set of small openings was proposed, visually creating a plan of wood and glass, prioritizing the main entrance to the house.

Thanks to the design of the house, the use of new materials and details of construction in a rural space traditional. Despite the use of wood without decorations, concrete inside and large glass surfaces, its different conception of details, it seems that this house has been part of this town since ancient times.
