Hem House, designed by Portal 92 in 2022, is located in the bustling town of Muzaffarnagar, India.
This residential-refurbishment and redevelopment project spans an area of 3400 sqm (3,400 sqm). The façade was cleverly reconfigured to give the two asymmetrical residential structures an illusion of oneness. An imposing portico greets visitors as they approach the Hem House and leads into the central common space. The stone and wooden louver details have been carefully designed to imbibe lightness, warmth and create a sense of organized asymmetry. On the exterior, a horizontal stone volume with plants flowing through it serves as an extended balcony and recreational sit-out area.
This house is a face-lift of its former self, crafted with revived meaning, to cohabitate in harmony.
Humble House, a two-storey house designed by R Architecture located in Berwick, Melbourne, Australia, is a contemporary house with timeless finishes and low-maintenance living.
With the precision and foresight of a sculptor, this project chips away at the stifling ‘nice to haves’ of homelife, leaving behind only the essentials of elegant, functional living — the result is a sloping form that echoes the natural elevations of its site, strategically carved into three geometric pavilions. A stone’s throw away from Wilson Botanic Gardens, Humble House brings the outdoors in at every opportunity. Drawing on the client’s cultural heritage, the concept embodies key traits found in traditional Indian homes and offers a refined, though unassuming aesthetic that advocates for the joys of stripping away excess and living simply with ease.
Vault on Vault Villa is a unique house located in Royan, Iran with a stunning view of the Caspian Sea. Designed by KRDS in 2023, the villa project was created with two goals in mind: to experiment with the facilities of vaults and domes, and to create harmony with the environment of this region.
Using advanced steel and concrete structures, the architects created new combinations of vaults and domes, while the building was oriented to the north and south to benefit from light and proper ventilation. In addition, the mansard roof system and cement walls were used to cover the upper parts of the building and to deal with the region’s harsh rainy conditions.
