New emerging architecture design of Student Housing Complex by Ofis in Paris

The objective of this building is the green aspect of 'energy efficient building', which will be built at the end of 2010. This Student Housing Complex is somehow a de ja vu with metabolism architecture from Japanese modern architects with its tilted box units. Ofis Architekti, a Slovenia based architect win Student Housing Competition in Paris.

The complex will be build before the tram line pass the nearby neighbourhood in 2012. One thing obvious in this design is that it uses horizontal lines as shading device. It also uses simple, well insulation and ventilation plan, but it is still questioned whether the insulation will be in contrary with ventilation.

A cozy library corner, with fireplace

Via thisoldhouse.com

Amazed by this cozy corner, I post this here. A library area with shelves, stone veneer chimney, and windows masked from the street, that feels like a homey space.

The home owner, George Mabry, says he will use the room every day. "I'll have dinner parties," he says. "But I didn't want the room gathering dust the rest of the time."

Very nice room to enjoy the day isn't it? But what if the window can be more open?

SHIGERU BAN New York City Shutter Houses

Via Inhabitat.

Scaling his literal Curtain House into a larger and more dense development, Shigeru Ban’s Shutter Houses are one part architecture, one part art, and one part pure poetry from one of our favorite thoughtful architects. The 9-unit condo located in West Chelsea blurs the line between indoor and outdoor with a perforated metal shutter system that lets residence open and close their spaces on a whim.

Units range from 1,950 to 3,180-square-feet. The rolling shutters are inspired by Korean delis and Chelsea galleries that use industrial rolling grates to open and close their storefronts. Shigeru makes industrial chic, and allows urban dwellers to let the sunshine in and live among nature even in the bustling Big Apple. Metal Shutter Houses at 524 West 19th Street are scheduled for completion in Fall 2008.
