The IPE House is a very simple scheme that divides the plot in two segments: A house and a patio in a loft like open configuration.

The midday sun forms an eclipse as continuous ring drawn together by direct and projected light, where land (material light projected onto the curved wall) and sky (immaterial direct light / clarity) engage in that particular magic moment to let out the soul in its ascent to heaven by the time window of the eclipse generated daily.

This house is nestled in the dense bushland of Bowen Mountain, an elevated rural region adjoining the Blue Mountains National Park in New South Wales with views back to Sydney. 

LETH & GORI’s Brick House is a project that creates innovation by reinventing history. By revisiting materials and solutions from historic houses which have proven to be robust and have a long life span a new type of contemporary sustainable house is created.

Infinski Manifesto House by James & Mau Architectura 

"The roof structure is tangible everywhere in the house, there are no straight lines when you look at the ceiling. The result is an extraordinary spatial perception when you enter the living area."

"Brick is one of the longest lasting and oldest building materials. However, in recent years, brick has been pushed aside in the construction process, mainly for technological reasons. Construction of a brick wall takes time, but perhaps more importantly we have developed a tendency to cover, and not to expose, structural elements of the building. Brick has become an expensive material. For that reason it is not often that we get a chance to use masonry in our design, but when we do, we find it fascinating how this simple choice of construction technique somehow slows the whole design process and shifts focus to the construction site."

Casa Lude by Grupo Arananea  creates a unique, continuous and rich space on different levels with various heights and directions; a space that Lude fills with music. This space extends to the roof as a natural continuation of the interior life. It is a complex space full of light where a lot of secrets are hidden.
