the 'shell house' sits within the nagano prefecture of japan






the 'shell house' by architect kotaro ide, is a sculptural shell-like structure which has been built in the woods of karuizawa, located in the nagano prefecture of japan. the house is meant to function as a vacation home, which is able to withstand the humid summers and cold winters of the region. to accomplish this, ide opted not to use the typical wood structure of villas in the area because of their usceptibility to decay easily. instead, he used reinforced concrete to construct two elliptical shell forms which are supposed to represent a conch. from its profile, 'shell house' takes on a j-shape which is raised above the ground by 1400 mm resulting in the 'floating' masses. ulin wood is used to create terraces around the home with a courtyard into the centre of the main living areas. the villa's simple aesthetic lends itself well to the traditional japanese landscape, creating a balance between the futuristic man-made structure and the environment which surrounds it. the entire project took more than 18 months to realize and two and a half years to complete.

Dragspelhuset - the Accordion House by 24H Studio

This extention is to an original cabin from the 1800’s, located on the shore of the lake Ovre Gla in the nature reserve Glaskogen in Sweden. According to swedish building regulations it is not allowed to built along the lake shore unless it is an extention to an existing building. It also can not exceed a maximum floor area and the building must stay 4.5 meters clear of the site boundary.

Given by the building regulations Architect 24 made an extention to the cabin that can evolve, the building literally adjust itself to its environment depending on weather conditions, season or the number of occupants. The extention unfurls like a butterfly; during the winter it’s a cocoon, compact with a double skin against the cold. During the summer it unfold its wings for extra shelter during rainy days.

Louvre in Abu Dhabi

Architect: Jean Nouvel

A floating 24,000 sq m dome will house the Louvre on Saadiyat Island. Jean Nouvel’s web-patterned dome will filter sun into the building, inspired by the idea of rays passing through date palm fronds in an oasis. The space will be a Francophile’s haven, housing long-term loans from the Louvre and other French artistic powerhouses like the Centre Georges Pompidou, Muse d’Orsay and Versailles.

Michael Jantzen’s M-House

Architect Michael Jantzen.
Chicago’s Wright auction house will be selling off the M-house on March 25 (2007). More of an experimental pavilion than a conventional house, the M-House features a shifting faade of folding panels, allowing you to open the structure up to the landscape, or close yourself off, as the mood (and weather) permits. The buyer will get the house in flat-pack style, so they can erect it wherever they want.

Такие "сферы" предлагается использовать в качестве временного жилья при стихийных бедствиях. Предполагается, что такая форма более психологически комфортна.


Emergency shelter during disaster that provides physical & psychological needs. The concept behind “sphere” not only considers taking shelter from extreme weather conditions but also reestablishing the feeling of security and companionship without losing ones privacy. The center of “sphere” is constructed as a social place, which consists of single families and inhabitants. These people constitute a community, a circle. This place offers the opportunity of once again getting in contact to others, cooking and simply getting together in a social way. In this way every “sphere” becomes a germ cell for a community working properly.

19 units of tents offer room for 3 persons at a time, however, partition walls can be unbuttoned in order to create bigger sections for families wards and the like. The inner tent, made of lighter nylon permeable to air, is independent from the outer part which consists of waterproof canvas. The stakes are made of fibre glass plastic and guarantee stability of the whole construction. The design as such is long-lasting and can be recycled if required.
