This residence is a round shaped fair face concrete building, with a semi detached rectangle entrance. The long narrow windows following the form of the structure look out to the wrapped back yard with the timber floors and semicircle swimming pool.
Sometimes a client’s request may lead into a new concept that you might never have thought before. That’s what happened at that project. At my first meeting with the client, he asked me whether he could have a “round house”. My first reaction was: “But… my work is a bit different of what you ask…”. I had second thoughts though, so I decided I would do it, under one condition: I would do it in my own way!
Indeed, space experience in unique. The house has a natural flow, it is spacious and structure is characterized by total simplicity. The plot is in a busy road, so the semicircle acts like a natural road boundary. Internal, everything is rotated around the semicircle pool that acts as a referee point of the whole project, as it can be seen by every spot in the house. By that semicircular volume, underhungs a wooden one, where the office is. By that way the visual view of the circle is interrupted.
Ko ne bi voleo da ima luksuznu vilu na moru? Još ako je izrađena po ekološkim principima, to je za nas ostvarenje sna. Upravo takvu vilu projektovala je ahitektonska kompanija Hornung & Jacobi Architects na ostrvu Rodos, Grčka.
Ova vila površine 220m2 izrađena je za jedan bračni par koji je posebno zahtevao odvojen deo za smeštaj gostiju. Ceo objekat je napravljen od montažnih drvenih struktura, a fotonaponski paneli na krovu obezbeđuju svu potrebnu električnu energiju.
Oko nje se nalazi zid od prirodnog kamena koji se potpuno uklapa u okolinu. Svi prozori su veliki kako bi objekat primio što više dnevne svetlosti. Kako temperatura na ostrvu u toku godine ne pada ispod 0oC i kako je ovo samo privremeno boravište koje treba brzo zagrejati, a posebno ohladiti, drvene strukture od kojih je izrađeno su prekrivene belim malterom.
U vili je instaliran niz prirodnih rashladnih mehanizama koji joj smanjuju sveukupnu potrošnju energije. Pored mehaničkih otvora na krovu koji deluju kao dimnjaci za rashlađivanje, isparavanje vode iz bazena doprinosi kontrolisanju mikroklime. Fotonaponski sistem u obliku trougla snabdeva vilu svom potrebnom električnom energijom.
Ova vila pruža neverovatan vizuelni komfor sa pogledom na more. Iako je veoma moderno dizajnirana, svakako je i ekološka.Ko ne bi voleo da provede godišnji odmor u njoj?
