Central Courtyard Home Desain - Australia

When you can’t build out, build up! At least, that’s the motto driving Melbourne, Australia-based architecture firm Tandem Design Studio in its design for this smart central courtyard home design. Occupying a tiny footprint – just 160m2 – this compact house makes an efficient use of vertical space for comfort, convenience and contemporary style in a small yet somehow spacious package. Interiors are very minimalist and clean, lined with timber. The homes two main volumes are sunshells, connected by a central courtyard. The west wing houses the main entrance, living area, kitchen and a dramatic double-height dining room for posh entertaining. Upstairs the study, guest room and bathroom make luxurious guest accommodations! To the east, enter the double-car garage and find your way upstairs to the master bedroom and ensuite. In an effort to preserve the pristine surroundings, this modern home incorporates a number of sustainable features like rainwater- and greywater-recycling systems, hot water heat pump, solar technology on the rooftop, glass walls made of double glazed windows and triple cell polycarbonate skin.

House with Wood Exteriors and Interiors in Japan

Japanese firm a.un architects are behind this simple yet modern wood exterior / interior house design in Mie, Japan. From the outside in, this unusual innovative house plan is clad in wood and features a down-to-earth look that works wonderfully with its surroundings. Every room offers vistas of sea and sky by virtue of the home’s 30-degree curved design, which is elevated 1.8 meters from street level. Inside this compact yet functional plan, a great upper loft design idea offers an added living space to enjoy with an open-to below view of the main floor. No matter where you are or where you’re looking, the timber gives the house its characteristic organic warmth and a welcoming aesthetic that’s ideal for the family – complete with two active young boys – that calls this place “home.”
