The house-bridge in California

The mixed place, with meadow plains and young growths of trees, and also the big ravine somewhere on the centre, a total area of 600 hundred parts, have united private construction. The house became the bridge over a ravine, having connected western and east part.

Above, in a bridge part, it is equipped two opened court yard. From one it is possible to get to the house, another is connected to pool and a small house for visitors. All constructions are connected by the general covering on which it is possible to walk and leave on east or western part of a landscape.

Walls and a roof are covered by steel details which outside, from any coast of a ravine, look as the bridge.

The project of head office CBE

German architectural group Henn Architekten has won competition on the best civil-engineering design of head office Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) in Addis Ababa.

Unusual way of the organisation

Thin office building will be executed with optical effect of «presence of hollow structures» at change of a point of the review. For the account of such unusual way of organisation of base level of a building, some problems are reached — increased the areas of ground floors illuminated by natural light, interesting appearance of a design is created, is involved additional attention of visitors of the centre which bottom part it is planned to use as a trading complex that will cut expenses on building operation.

Commercial Bank of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa

At ceremony of rewarding of the architects who have presented the project — the winner of the tender, the president of bank has declared, that «the new approach to building and use of the main offices, the interesting and modern structure, planning with the account of last achievements of architecture and use of harmless technologies — all shows it, that the bank of Ethiopia leaves on the international level on all indicators».

The house on a beach by Jorge Hrdina

What for the house on the sea if from the house it is not visible the sea is necessary. It seems, architect Jorge Hrdina and thought, building this house almost without walls...

Glass instead of walls

In this house of a window, certainly, dominate. All structure gives ease and beauty of the general ensemble of lines and planes. Ease is supported with absence of thick columns, walls etc. which, as a rule, are necessary for maintenance of a roof of structure.

On the top floor a kitchen room and premises with the sliding doors conducting to a small terrace (platform) with several chairs and a barbecue. Before a kitchen room, a balcony and a bedroom 19 metre pool with a glass handrail has been made.

The ground floor also is made so that to keep remarkable visibility. Rooms for children and some premises Here settle down.

Small house on an ocean coast

Besides, in the house there are systems for gathering, storages and clearings of rain water, and the tank for rain water has volume of 25,000 litres. Premises are designed so that ventilation was carried out naturally and only when there comes exclusively hot time air central air joins.

Huge windows, in turn, prolong time of natural illumination of premises, and there is no necessity to include illumination up to the sunset. On a house roof some accumulators and solar batteries for heating of water from a solar energy are located.

Alternative skyscraper in New York

In the middle of financial buildings and inhabited towers the Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is intended to erect an alternative skyscraper. 132 floor complex will be constructed in the south of Roosevelt Island, symbolising necessity of ecological stability. The main accent of this conceptual design — attempt to create completely a self-sufficient organism which processes energy of the sun, wind, water, and also can make food, in the middle of a megacity.

Alternative skyscrapers of the future

The system is concentrated round two basic towers. They are organised symmetrically, grow not only is horizontal, but also vertically, that is important for close Manhattan.

Conceptual skyscraper in Manhattan

The metal and glass wings inspired in the image of a dragon, become the house for plants and animals. Thanks to a favorable environment, the good sun and winds, at numerous levels where nutritious soils will be placed, plants will be grown up. External vertical gardens will eat rain water which after use will be mixed with a household waste, after subject to organic processing, for further use in a farm.

In space between wings warm air with which help the premise will be heated in the winter gathers; in the summer natural ventilation, and also evaporations from plants will cool air.

The house concept have combined from leaves

Leaf House is a building in which people can simultaneously be and inside, and in a garden. The house, the cottage which has revived at coast in Sydney, tenants name Pavilion for Merge to the Nature. Look a video in detail showing all process of building of this unusual object.

Integration into a landscape

The building is integrated into surrounding landscape and reflects qualities; the top block mixes up among trees, the base merges with plain.

Leaf House in Sydney

The copper-plated roof reminds the fallen leaves; in the house the dynamical structure reminding a bush of grapes grows.

In the given project authors used design and technologies for achievement is high-adaptability to manufacture also complexities at the limited expenses.
