Your Feedback | Modern Residential Design Content

Hello All!

For approaching a year now I've tried to gather details on some of the worlds best Modern Residential Design and Architecture.

I've received informal feedback from many of you, thanks.

So now I want to see what's really interesting you as a reader and try and decide on some new directions for Modern Residential Design.

If you have a second, I'd love it if you could complete the survey below:
http://micropoll.questionpro.com/akira/mpview/437090-94714

And hey, if there's a specific Architect or Residence you'd like to see on the site, let me know in the comments below.

Apologies that I couldn't add an 'other' box to the poll.

Thanks - Nick

It would be nice if you could feature the works of Singapore Architects like k2ld (www.k2ld.com) or scda (www.scdaarchitects.com)

Nick, I said once, won't mind saying twice, you do an amzing work here, it's one of the best architecture blogs I've ever seen. I have so many great architects in mind and houses... like, Nabim Gholan, I love Peter L Gluck too, he's brilliant, Richard Meier has some interesting work. I can't remember right now, but there's this L.A. based company that does more mediterranean work, but they also have modern houses, and they are incredible! Marcio Kogan is always great, no matter what, he's a genius (for me). Thank you for opening and asking your readers, that's nice of you and what makes a difference here...

Scott and Marie,

MANY THANKS for the suggestions and comments. It's really great to get your feedback!!

I'm going to be going back Marcio and Nabim for updates soon and Scott, k2ld, great find!

SCDA have been on my "to do" list for the last couple of weeks, having re-read my Pacific Modern book.

Thanks again,

Nick

Considering the modern residential homes that are included on your blog already, I would like to see more of Pb Elemental's homes on this site. www.elementalarchitecture.com

Nick,

Great work so far. Thanks for focusing on modern design, and not getting off-subject by focusing too much on green design or budget design, as many magazines do these days. Probably my least favorite post so far was the Chelsea Garden.

How about some interviews with architects? Or maybe some info on what to look for when hiring an architect? I'll be doing that in the next 6 months or so.

Thanks again.

Arthur Casas - House in Iporanga

Arthur Casas House in Iporanga Thanks to Arthur, Kelen and the team at Arthur Casas , I’ve received an early Christmas present to share with you all. The Immaculate “House in Iporanga” and a new addition to tags, Architect’s Own Houses. “I always wanted a house in the middle of the forest, in a place where I could relax and recharge my energy”, says Arthur. In the form of two large symmetrical cubes embracing an open space, this house was idealised as his dream house. Arthur’s aim was interiors in total synergy with exteriors. Bringing the outside in are 11 meter floor to ceiling glass windows, on both ends of the open central space. Cumaru wood paneling runs from top to bottom in an attempt to match and blend in with is beautiful surroundings “…as if this were ever 100% possible” admits Arthur. As the Cumaru extends into the house, sterile white stucco contrasts, highlighting the wood’s warm color. This simple brown and white palette provides a nice canvas for interesting/...

Andrew Lister - Hughes Kinugawa House

Andrew Lister Hughes Kinugawa House Overlooking an estuary in Waterview, Auckland, New Zealand, this house has great northern views out over the bay. Like its owners, a wonderful blend of Japanese and New Zealand culture the house sings compact Japanese simplicity with a green Kiwi bach twist. Inconspicuously blending in with the surrounding garden of imported succulents, cacti and mature local trees, the raw cedar weatherboards are a greener take on the vernacular white weatherboard planks common throughout NZ. The house consists of two cubes, connected by a wide corridor housing the bathroom and toilet. The bigger brother of the two cubes holding: the eat-in kitchen, living come library and a guest loft above. Double height windows bathe the living area with light, complementing the dark bookshelves and making an optimum reading nook for the couple, which are obviously book fanatics. This part of the house, designed for guests and entertaining has a slightly more Kiwi feel about it...

Hiroaki Ohtani - Kobe Layer House

Hiroaki Ohtani Kobe Layer House Continuing the last posts stripy theme, which is about all these houses have in common, despite the Japanese link. This is Hiroaki Ohtani solution to infill in Japan. The house is made up of pre-cast concrete strips, stacked unevenly to allow stairs, furniture and floors to be inserted in the gaps. It's tight, claustrophobic, yet entirely open. There are no internal doors, apart from the sliding doors to the toilet. Passing the tree in the courtyard, that brings irregualar form to this oterwise linear exterior, you enter on a landing, where you can either traverse to the bedroom, or head downstairs to the basement where a formal dining room and bathroom are housed. Climbing up you reach the living room and galley kitchen with a steep set of stairs taking you to the roof deck, of which half is a glazed panel to bathe the main stairwell with light. The front of the house is a larged glass panel to let more light into the house and the r...
