© Flickr User: An Amateur For architecture students, the Modern Movement is typically the most recent and most defined architectural style movement that history classes focus on. We appreciate the architects and artists of that time and respond to their buildings and ideas with reverence. Despite our appreciation for the buildings that came out of this era, conservation methods are meeting new challenges in conserving these buildings that have not aged well as they have reached their 50-year he

The Complex House is a single-family residence located in Nagoya, Japan that was designed by Tomohiro Hata Architects. The home features a series of five alternating pitched roofs that allow for many small rooms as per the homeowner’s wishes. The angular house and its sloping rooflines give it such unique character that it really stands out. The exterior is covered in the same metal siding as the roof giving a more toned down, uniform look. I can definitely see why this house was the 20

Clients were equally modest, simply needing more space for their family and a better connection to the garden, sunlight and air. Our initial response was to maintain as much of the house as we
Casa Colunata is a house that is just downright sexy. From the color palette to the clean lines to the structural curves, it’s stunning all around. Designed by the Portuguese studio of Mário Martins Atelier, it overlooks the ocean and the jagged coastline in Lagos, Portugal. The house is a white, mostly semi-circular structure built to make the most of the panoramic views that this house was designed around. The curved part of the structure creates privacy for the outdoor area that house
© Hisao Suzuki We continue our Round Up special of churches (and chapels). Today, we’ll show you previously featured projects we published in 2009 in Europe. The Chapel in Villaceron was designed by S.M.A.O. in Spain. KHR designed The Church of the Holy Cross, a 800 sqm church in Denmark. It’s hard to go to Rome and not being able to find a church, so perhaps you’ve ran into Richard Meier’s Church of 2000. You can’t miss the beautiful New Church in Foligno, des

Belgian architecture firm dmvA designed Extension vB4 as an addition for an A-frame vacation home located in Brecht, Belgium. Dealing with strict building regulations, the firm was able to design the modern trapezoid-like form while still respecting the original design. They created a new entrance, library, and bathroom that merge well with the existing space by having a predominantly white interior. The front and the back of the house feature large windows allowing views of the garden a
