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.

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

Murray Cockburn Partnership - Kohara Lodge

Murray Cockburn Partnership Kohara Lodge Of middle earth - Murray Cockburn has created a true hideaway. Kohara Lodge, of local schist stone and sedum roof, sits in quiet vigil above the Shotover river. Oh, and it's a holiday let. Overview Kohara Lodge has been built with environmental considerations in mind. The owners' main aim was to put the land back to the way it was once building had finished hence the design of the property incorporating the natural hillside, and re-planting the grounds with native New Zealand trees. The architect's vision was to replicate the natural environment as much as possible. To this end natural schist stone from a local quarry was used and this was dry laid as much as possible and dry stacked. Recycled railway timbers have been used on the outside of the property and there is no paint anywhere on the exterior of the house. The windows at Kohara Lodge all have Comfort glass to prevent glare and reflection, built in UV protection and double

Lund Hagem - Cabin Ameln

Lund Hagem , based out of Norway have a fantastic site, and collection of baches. Cabin Ameln, a providing sheltered BBQ retreat, and views out across the fjord. Contour hugging hunkered in design, connects with the site while minimalist layout and crisp finishes set it apart from your ordinary weekend retreat. Location: Østerøya, Sandefjord, Norway Size: 90 m2 Completed: 2009 The building sits in sloping terrain in close proximity to the sea. It has been designed to create favourable, screened outdoor areas. Previous buildings (4 in total) have been demolished and replaced with one new building that collects all functions under one roof. The L-shaped layout uses steps to follow the terrain so that the building can utilise existing vegetation and trees to avoid visibility from the sea. This layout creates one upper and one lower outdoor area/patio. The upper patio has been duly screened from the seafront, but offers views through the building due to glass walls. I think I've fo
