NAW Entry No. 05:
ARCHITECTURE IN A WORLD FULL OF BOUNDARIES

"Solo House III: Sunken Pyramids"

The resort dwelling's plan is to bring cutting-edge architecture to a rural setting. TNA has used a classic form-the pyramid-and cleverly inverted it to create a sense of weightlessness.

Large cutouts in the upper dwelling provide panoramic views over the landscape and the sleek interior is divided by mezzanines of different levels, which keep the open feeling of the pyramid, but clearly define living spaces.

The project designers is confined by the location, the laws of physics and the innate creativity. Consequently, TNA went to the drawing boards and emerged with an inverted pyramid concept that looks straight out of a futuristic arcade.

NAW Entry No. 04:
ARCHITECTURE BLENDS WITH NATURE

"Solo House II: Tuscany of Mediterranean Landscape”

Solo House is a contemporary home offering a 360 degree view of the surrounding trees and sea views. The house is situated in Matarraña, south of Barcelona, Spain.

By employing glass and a mobile metal mesh panel as the primary materials for the exterior walls, the architects have established a non-obtrusive option for shade and privacy.

By utilizing environmentally friendly features and inviting artistic input, OFFICE have established a space of coexistence between natural and manmade form, creating a work of architecture in conversation with the surrounding environment.
