THE RIVER ROAD CHARCOAL HOUSE

SHELL HOUSE : FENNELL RESIDENCE The Fennell residence, as a floating house, is located in Portland, Oregon. presented a unique opportunity for design. The imaginative use of curved glue lam beams evoke the poetry of the ripples and contours of a river. The expansive glass facade embraces the river and frames the sunset, and one accesses the deck via an expansive sliding glass door. A master bedroom sits over a study and looks out over the living dining area and out to the river beyond. The curvilinear forms create special differentiation that enhance the experience of time as light plays through the daily and seasonal changes.

Very unique design is made by an architect named Robert Harvey Oshatz this house almost 90% pure made of wood, if we look at houses This from the front shaped like a drop of water curved glassaccent placement is dominating the front of this unique house, but if you see the future we will see incredible shape, which resembles a stack of strange shapes from pieces of shell pieces made from wood , and if we look into this house warm and comfortable impression that radiates from all the

There’s something so romantic about living waterside. Waking up to a dramatic view, whether from the banks of a lake, ocean, river, or even a tiny brook, always seems to have a soothing effect on the soul. One way to amp up the romance is to take the dwelling off the shore and put it right onto the water, as Portland, Oregon-based architect Robert Oshatz did for his clients. The professional couple, which spends most of their time in downtown Portland, had purchased a mooring on the east side of the Willamette River, an active commercial and recreational body of water. They turned to Oshatz, known for his curvaceous, swooping

architecture, to create a floating house as their weekend and summer retreat….

There’s something so romantic about living waterside. Waking up to a dramatic view, whether from the banks of a lake, ocean, river, or even a tiny brook, always seems to have a soothing effect on the soul. One way to amp up the romance is to take the dwelling off the shore and put it right onto the water, as Portland, Oregon-based architect Robert Oshatz did for his clients. The professional couple, which spends

most of their time in downtown Portland, had purchased a mooring on the east side of the Willamette River, an active commercial and recreational body of water. They turned to Oshatz, known for his curvaceous, swooping architecture, to create a floating house as their weekend and summer retreat.

The couple was familiar with Oshatz’s work, so they knew their house would be one of a kind. For this house, in addition to addressing the programmatic requirements,

The clients are fans of loft-style living, and needed no more than a master bedroom, a study, guest bed and bath, and kitchen and living areas.

With the floor plan and program in place, Oshatz found inspiration in the ripples of the river, and used Douglas fir glulam (glue laminated timber) beams to form the house’s curving arcs. Cedar shingles clad the eastern,

Brazilian cherry floors and stairs contribute to the house’s warm atmosphere. The deck is mahogany, while the roof and ceiling beams are Douglas fir. Stainless-steel stair railings contrast with the wood inside, while copper shingles provide the contrast on curved, vaulted areas on the exterior of house.

Oshatz had the challenge of building a house that was sturdy yet able to float, and he had to deal with the fact that active construction on the Willamette is prohibited (the home had to be

built on the connected Columbia River, then pulled by barge to its mooring on the Willamette). Also, moorings on either side were less than 10 feet away, the house had to provide privacy despite the close proximity to neighbors

northern, and southern exposures, while the western side opens up to the river with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors with curved glass windows above. The resulting interior givesthe feeling of being inside a seashell. The kitchen, open living room with fireplace, and guest bedroom are all on the “ground” floor, with a stairway leading up to the master-bedroom loft space. Built-in cabinets and storage elements (of American cherry) keep furniture to a minimum, while

For Oshatz, creating a home that floats was just one of the project’s challenges. To make the house buoyant yet stable, Oshatz created a 34 by 80-foot float made up of Douglas fir logs. Steel I-beams were then placed crosswise, set 6.5 feet on center, because that was the spacing Oshatz decided on for the curved glulam beams. But all experiences are worth having, and Oshatz says he’s lucky enough to be able to visit the house often.

The Architect of wingspread is Frank Lloyd Wright located in Wind Point, Wisconsin and Dated 1937 which belongs to the Building Type large house and has an environment of temperate climate with Style neo-Verncular. Fourteen thousand square feet of floor space. A lot of modern track homes seem to be headed in that direction.

Wingspread,” on the outskirts of Racine, Wisconsin. The year before he built their renown cooperate headquarters in central Racine.

As floor plan indicates where all four wings join together is called The Great Hall. Wright liked to call it the Wigwam. It is the living room. The tall central roof is punctuated neatly with

stacked rows and layers of skylights. Almost like banks of movie set lights. The play of light in a Wright structure is always remarkable.

A massive tall chimney structure divides the Wigwam into four areas. Entrance, living room proper, library, and dining room. The above photo is looking from the library to the dining area. The Wigwam’s towering vertical brick hub contains 5 fireplaces on 4 sides including one for an upper level All his design. “(Wingspread) has the best brickwork I have seen in my life, and the materials of construction and the workmanship throughout are everywhere substantial”

It is a “zone” plan. Areas of the house are separate zones, or wings. Wingspread has four wings. One for Master Bedrooms, the second for the children’s rooms, a third for guests, the fourth for service and servants.

The weathered wood exterior is wide plank cypress.

Wright describes the Master Bedroom wing as a luxurious mezzanine with a continuous balcony. The extreme cantilever is synonymous with Frank Lloyd Wright.

The spiral staircase is a fun and adventurous touch. The spiral staircase leads to a delightful l lookout or crow’s nest on the roof. Indeed the children did greatly enjoy this feature.

The bricks are from batches also used. Those are wild grapevines on all the trellises, pergolas and cantilevered overheads. Wright used landscaping to tone down the sheer volume and mass of the structure. Under this pergola yet another massive fireplace for evenings outdoors.

The garden. Note the vine supports. Wright employed the same use of ordinary galvanized pipe painted his “Cherokee Red” for his own home,

Taliesin, in Spring Green, also in Wisconsin. Today Wingspread no longer serves as a private residence. In short Wingspread is a conference center and a living Wright/Johnson Family museum open for tours.

This is the 5th fireplace of the Wigwam, up on the second level. Maybe more appropriate to call it a forest-fire place. Actually the tall log idea didn’t work. The logs fall out too easily.

THE RIVER ROADThe architect of this house is Hughes Umbanhowar which is located in Sewall’s Point, Florida.. Which has area of 12,300-square foot house, is a complex composition, reminiscent of the canvases of Georges Braque, in which geometric forms appear and disappear in a constant dance of illusion and materiality.

A glass-skinned throughway connects and distinguishes the two dominant volumes, or towers, capturing light and adding to the sense of interior capaciousness. Exterior glass, limestone, stucco and mahogany outline, augment and anchor what otherwise might be a cacophony of disparate forms.

introspection. At either end of the longitudinal axis that connects the two domestic partitions, separate stairways enhance circulation and provide discrete access to the three-storied parapets

The gracious interior is highlighted by the use of Mahogany, Minnesota Limestone, and plaster finishes. Afternoon sun is mitigated by aluminum

louvers and astute structural arrangement. The bulthaup kitchen is enhanced by a sliding window wall which opens to an exterior courtyard, further collapsing the distinction between exterior and interior space, and thereby underscoring the sense of spontaneous yet calculated arrangement.

While it’s successful attempts to minimize physical connection to the front street creates a bizarre solitude for the such as the front door, which is carefully hidden inside an exterior corridor and melts into the facade around the corner of the building- this wood-framed single-family house of about 2,100 square feet suddenly transforms into a dynamic living space with a careful attention to openings and natural lights in each room, and once again

The Charcoal House sits on a small lot with a narrow plan. It is not a spacious house to live in, but an avant-garde mind that seeks an alternative living space is perhaps looking for a change in effects. A modern house is about a modern living style, and the Charcoal House is an attempt to provide that chance for Torontonians.

Although the monolithic facade, the black brick , states an asperous architect architecture, the airy spaces within the black box reveals the true identity of its functional spaces. The house as the architect describes, resembles a “coconut” which is dark and hard on the outside, white and delicious on the inside.

Deceive one’s immediate impression of disengagement from the. outside by creating unexpected and glorious openings to the outside.

CHARCOAL HOUSE The Architect of this house is Reza Aliabadi which is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada of area about 2,100 sq. ft. Charcoal House, situated in Pape and Danforth neighborhood in Toronto, Ontario, is deceivingly presenting a raucous box.

The randomly patterned square windows on its facade and the hidden entrance entrance door at the corner of the building are elements that not only make it difficult difficult to associate the building, but they also trick the eye to an extend where the scale of the house is storted and one might not be able to guess the number of floors inside
