Folded Form 4

House SODAE, Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 2009 designed by VMX Architects
The simple form of the house originates from the creative interpretation of the building regulations. The obligatory use of sloping roofs on two sides, intent with making houses conform to a traditional style, is to make innovative designs almost impossible. However, by applying these rules in a different manner, a new and contemporary form was conceived.  -- ArchDaily

House N, Gramastetten, Austria, 2010 designed by Archinauten Dworschak + Mühlbachler ZT Gmbh
The residential family home is located on a hillside that slopes towards the east on the outskirts of the city of linz. The topography of the building site, building regulations, and the location of the plot were defining parameters for the design and conception of the house. The result is a clear structure, which appears monolithic from the outside, but has a complex interior spatial structure. -- ArchDaily

Hansha Reflection House, Nagoya, Japan, 2010 designed by Studio SKLIM
....the house was conceived to be an object with the environment. The programmatic zones of Public, Service and Private spatially organized the house into 3 distinct zones with further punctuation of the main massing with the Landscape element; providing spaces for the courtyard and roof deck. This base form was further chiseled with structure, daylight/ventilation and viewpoint concerns. -- ArchDaily

Canopy House, Pajottenland, Belgium designed by MDMA
The sloping roofs and facades make the house appears like a piece of moveable furniture that is detached from the agricultural land it stands on. Inside, the house is divided in two through the use of long sloping ramps. A staircase provides a shortcut between the living quarters to the entrance, but there are no shortcuts to the private spaces. This keeps the maximum distance between the private and communal spaces. -- ArchDaily

Energiehaus Farschweiler, Farschweiler, Germany, 2011 designed by Architekten Stein Hemmes Wirtz
The +Energy House lies down as a flat structure on the sloping site and forms at the upper floor a platform that connects inside and outside together and offers a magnificent view of the countryside. The formal language acts independently and confidently. Simultaneously, the two-storey construction comunicates with the surroundings of the street (building line, roof shape, eaves height). -- ArchDaily

L’arbrisseau Neighborhood Centre, Lille, France, 2011 designed by Colboc Franzen & Associes
Its helical shape, the staircase that winds itself up around the sides of the building and its aluminium cladding, like a space vessel’s, all make it stand out. -- ArchDaily

Bilbao City Hall, Bilbao, Spain, 2011 designed by IMB Arquitectos
The treatment applied to the residual public spaces has the objective to fluff the urban fabric and increase the available area to generate a little plaza becoming an urban antechamber or lobby to access the Town Hall Headquarters. The fragmentation of the whole in two volumes has the will to integrate the building into the city plot, adapt the scale and the heights to the place and enhance the traditional pedestrian way across the parcel. -- ArchDaily
