In it we can find, in addition to a modern facade, interiors completely different from what we have been offering on our website. So, we suggest you pay close attention to get the most out of this construction.

The House in Shimoda - Chou, located in Kanazawa ward, Japan, is a versatile work with which we can create an open or closed environment depending on the various uses of the owner. When designing the house, clients requested a large living room without elements of interruption in the passage, such as columns.

El constructive design of the House in Shimoda - Chou is made up of three boxes of different sizes, varying between large, medium and small in order to make an extension in the living room. The other idea of this design is that the exterior space is entered into the interior, since the entrance is in the center of the house.

This semi outer space It brings to the living room a lot of natural light, through this exterior gallery that gets inside the house. In short, the innovative style of this house creates a horizontal cut of light that penetrates the walls.

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.

In interior design from the Stonewood house we can find many and varied wooden elements. The wall coverings, the mobile panels and custom furniture, all in a natural wood tone, give a feeling of warmth to the space. And as contrast elements we observe the polished cement floor and mosaics of dark and yellow stones, which they work as a coating on part of the kitchen.

On the first floor has been designed the social area that includes a large room and multimedia room, from both environments you can directly access a large deck located to the left, it is interesting to design two large blocks of wooden beams that cover both environments, these are also built with the wooden bricks above mentioned and steel as a structural element.

Simple house with one floor and three bedrooms, we show its combination of wood and folding blinds

Next in Facades World We will show you this beautiful model of one-story house (located in the Czech Republic) which has been built on a square land. In it, we will find three bedrooms and a large dining room with stunning views to the outside, views that we can enjoy thanks to the use of wooden folding blinds, which we find in the modern facade of this simple, but unique house.

We can observe how the natural tone wood applied in the facade in the form of slats, completely harmonizes the construction culminating with a flat white roof. In turn, the concrete platform on which the construction itself sits, has the same characteristics as the ceiling in both color and dimension.

Simple and modern facade clad in wood

In the back facade from the house we will find a uniform finish that is made of larch wood slats, then, if we visualize the roof, we will see the use of a PVC sheet for more protection and then a layer of gravel.

In the social area, framed by black aluminum, we will find large crystals. When the blinds are folded, we will have a clean and unimpeded visuals towards the outside, finding ourselves completely with the whole nature of the environment.

In turn, the wooden blinds cover the terrace that is located in front of the room, when they are closed, give the social area a greater amplitude to the naked eye, while during the day filters the solar rays giving greater privacy for its occupants.

In perspective, we can see the large windows of the room

In spite of its functional aspect, the wooden blinds grant a unique originality to the design

Plan of the one-story house, three bedrooms and wooden interiors

Approximately, this modern wooden house, has been built on a square plot of 13.5 x 13.5 meters with visuals to its four sides, so, to implement this design is extremely important and completely necessary to have an outdoor area around it, this way we can take the greatest benefit of the construction, and this will work properly.

The house has a total of four entrances, but we believe at first sight that quietly the most used could be the front and the rear due to the comfort and simplicity. As we mentioned above, we will find three bedrooms inside, in the middle a full bathroom with two entrance doors.

The dining room is facing the terrace, a fully illuminated area thanks to the large openings located in the main facade of the house. To finish, a kitchen with island It is separated from the dining room but located frontally towards the social spaces.

Modern and economical country house, discover how to get the best visuals thanks to the distribution used

At Facades World we would love that the copy that we present today, can serve as inspiration for the construction of their own home. This beautiful and striking modern country house and economic, called Eagle Ridge (Washington, USA), it has a distribution in planes in the form of "L", which allows you to have unique views towards the landscape that nature gives us.

In one of the parts of this pretty field housing, more precisely on the outside, due to the use of a corrugated metal shed, we will find walls of this same material, which resembles and reminds us a bit of the houses built with recycled containers.

As you can see, whether it is a rural or country house, it gives us the possibility to create circulations on the outside

Interior design of the economic field house

The housing program created, which consists of a combination of kitchen-dining-living room, study, master bedroom, art studio and a storage area with the flexibility of adding bedrooms or an apartment, uses recycled old wood from an 100 barn years demolished in eastern Washington, rusted steel for the coating, as well as stones rescued from the work and moss.

Large doors slide out to open the house to wide views, creating a living room in the forest. On the other hand, the entrance garden divides the house creating two zones, making the eyes are fixed mostly in the natural views. A tip that we give you from Facades World is: in the design of your cottage, you must orient the social and / or private area towards the best exterior views, with floor to ceiling windows that will have a greater angle of vision.

The house is built with insulating structural panels (SIPS). This method allows for faster construction time, less waste generation, tighter construction, and better insulation. All doors and windows are designed to exceed energy code requirements, on the other hand, LED lighting in order to reduce energy consumption. Let's see the images ...

House with one floor, we present a facade that combines wood and brick

Built in an area of 125 square meters, today in Facades World We present this beautiful one-story house. With a combined brick and wood facade, and also a juxtaposed gabled roof, we will observe how this Scandinavian style construction can be quickly converted into a modern style, let's get started ...

Modern facade combining two building finishing materials

This Modern facade It combines exposed brick in a white tone with cedar wood placed in the roof overhang of the terrace, in turn, the pitched roofs provide gait to the volume.

For the exterior finish also rectangular tiles were used, which can be ceramic that would have an effect to the brick applied to the façade of this one-story house.

The social area that includes the kitchen, the dining room and the living room, is an open space in the form of «L» (we can observe it and the plans), in addition to this, the large windows that overlook the interior garden, allow to have the very well ventilated and naturally lit environments.

In order to get the rhythm of the inclined roofs In this one-story house, we can see how the roof has been divided into two parts (refer to the dotted lines in the «tip plane»), resulting in the naked eye as one has been left behind the other, without place to doubts, a unique construction detail.

Floor plans of the one-story house

What corresponds to the yellow zone, belongs to the expansion that has been given to the house built in an area of 125 m², beyond that the access to housing is in the central part (left part of the map), it also has a secondary income located on the side of the house which allows directly entering the part of the social zone.

In total we will find three bedrooms, a study room that could be reformed and thus become an additional room, and a large lounge room that we will find located near the main entrance of the house.

The social area, the enlarged part to be more exact, includes the dining room, the living room and the kitchen in a large space in the form of «L», these environments have direct access to the terrace and the back garden.

Design and decoration of interior environments

Seeing your interior design, we will feel that it looks broad, bright and fresh. We can see from the walls to the ceilings painted in a white tone, assimilating the amplitude already mentioned, amplitude that is not only achieved thanks to the color, but also by the height of the sloping roofs.

The floors of the entire social area are blackbutt wood with glossy finish, a type of floor that comes from Australia belonging to the eucalyptus family. As a slightly more economical alternative when it comes to shaping the interior design, we can choose to use laminate flooring that would give an appearance similar to those we see in the images and it is also ideal for use in home renovations or extensions.

On the day of the date, we will analyze a very peculiar design both in Façade and in plans, in the case of a remodeled house which changed drastically when the old design of the front part was perpetuated and added a completely new twist with the culmination and creation of a second floor, thus drastically renewing the style but preserving the harmony of this hybrid housing.

In case you do not have knowledge, we tell you that the hybrid constructions convert the sun into alternating current to run all the utilities of the house. When we encounter cloudy or snowy days, a generator that runs on bio-fuel ensures continuous power supply.

If we stop to look closely, we will see how the house is elevated in a concrete platform to 0.80 centimeters of the ground, something very important if we live in rainy climates. Even if, on the contrary, if the land where it is located is a sandy area, the ideal thing would be to raise slightly on columns or piles, so as not to allow the accumulation of sand around the construction, construction, by the way, generated with prefabricated wood.

If we step inside this beautiful house little by little, we can see a modern look but like the typical rural house environment, with rustic wooden furniture, and concrete floors under square textures, thus ending up providing a very pleasant and pleasant interior design to anyone's eyes.
