The Observatory House

<div>Captured by the architectural photographer Iwan Baan, “The Observatory House” was designed by Gabriel Orozco and built by architect Tatiana Bilbao in Roca Blanca, Mexico.

The PITCHED roof house

<div>Chenchow Little is one of the most innovative teams of architects coming out of Australia at the moment. Their fresh perspective on architecture is bringing forth a series of compelling residences, most recent, the Pitched Roof House<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQv9-WdjCz1fY1ecAJZiY9xCJfTZCF3iEpgboau-VmalIeyl0w2Yg8_-xPOp_3OsZ082-tof7ic9E8al-RXMhKvgVecnQ26kiYcnN3LMKNxqfBmYbwN6ajf3HBOs4HCV7wC5TIw8JDxWI/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.07-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQv9-WdjCz1fY1ecAJZiY9xCJfTZCF3iEpgboau-VmalIeyl0w2Yg8_-xPOp_3OsZ082-tof7ic9E8al-RXMhKvgVecnQ26kiYcnN3LMKNxqfBmYbwN6ajf3HBOs4HCV7wC5TIw8JDxWI/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.07-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> In early design phases, most architectural projects work within the boundaries the home’s needs, and the concept of the design. But for the Pitched Roof House, the design was literally built around the strict building code guidelines for the neighborhood it was built in.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The local buildings department decided to play hardball with the new build. “Council requirements for setbacks, roof pitch, recessive colors, and roof and street context literally formed the boundaries of the project,” the team explained. Within these tough boundaries came the solutions that created this stunning new residence.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlIioUYVlab7cDVgjDMqI3g1wjn_62rWse7KPEPBaw78tv_gKfbzcCqS0XBQjTQgbbJCu-LZbE7Wm-3TeyS7AH6wb5MUQ79O9tt2PQkpGabgFdrZNFslstibQh74TwCr9aEy51b-xw49yZ/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.43-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlIioUYVlab7cDVgjDMqI3g1wjn_62rWse7KPEPBaw78tv_gKfbzcCqS0XBQjTQgbbJCu-LZbE7Wm-3TeyS7AH6wb5MUQ79O9tt2PQkpGabgFdrZNFslstibQh74TwCr9aEy51b-xw49yZ/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.43-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmBW-2JUCRZ3xIuFC1vH2fKlV8Ei1NfGDgh6dEYft8p8qXb1JNpehcZFw0sB-pjL394eRathES_zMKro24DVr6wfs1xXmp0Z6s-ImZM81M18hny5C2ldAcyz3tojyYtRf_dd5CNVBObWX/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.43.29-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitmBW-2JUCRZ3xIuFC1vH2fKlV8Ei1NfGDgh6dEYft8p8qXb1JNpehcZFw0sB-pjL394eRathES_zMKro24DVr6wfs1xXmp0Z6s-ImZM81M18hny5C2ldAcyz3tojyYtRf_dd5CNVBObWX/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.43.29-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnBv1LTkkp6x8VUtCu4VovmJHZ5gjgCaMe3kh2GPVUuMd7Bjz43qHaZCM4iE9ofZQ6mRt9zTvBVSRMFuhVuMhQzDX-PHdOIgaIS7KSDLZzjPFzkOXD7PvljvM9NZGBtarcB_TnMMT6mym/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.44.39-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnBv1LTkkp6x8VUtCu4VovmJHZ5gjgCaMe3kh2GPVUuMd7Bjz43qHaZCM4iE9ofZQ6mRt9zTvBVSRMFuhVuMhQzDX-PHdOIgaIS7KSDLZzjPFzkOXD7PvljvM9NZGBtarcB_TnMMT6mym/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.44.39-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQclOwnkdhgq8KOqTYMv_FLDcSIXbbxI3Q3RHs0qzryfyR1wa65ZJoocFXz48RWg_ZmWMKZy2dsq-d1wBVldOvI3_RKNuvLyZEhUfpIRSrPgwS_Bsy7nUpDQ3CH7bP4ITO141strF_vU4/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.13-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQclOwnkdhgq8KOqTYMv_FLDcSIXbbxI3Q3RHs0qzryfyR1wa65ZJoocFXz48RWg_ZmWMKZy2dsq-d1wBVldOvI3_RKNuvLyZEhUfpIRSrPgwS_Bsy7nUpDQ3CH7bP4ITO141strF_vU4/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.13-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVL2u4pDa3Nc24klRPlZ_rXDwhumfeJ3Sf73hblozqljtR65FLiRO6puoG9Licfe5d6tdsRceiaZVDwJTW03prrjfLRNXT8DNM8X6QRsivH4U4TKbP7IYO71YCMz18g1ONryTYVZk0GzA/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.19-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqVL2u4pDa3Nc24klRPlZ_rXDwhumfeJ3Sf73hblozqljtR65FLiRO6puoG9Licfe5d6tdsRceiaZVDwJTW03prrjfLRNXT8DNM8X6QRsivH4U4TKbP7IYO71YCMz18g1ONryTYVZk0GzA/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.19-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYANp84CBvWq6S4N6RpZLGrqTHpiwuhLIhPdQ8U0PaErP-uLAFtfNP6M3j3Qa1_9aOZpYOW0C3wyLyIqh3ilUhFmLje1N75rBqLuMh5oilW4Awh5zNAiGMLvwbsY0rEnYVeSQznOTjwz30/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.25-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYANp84CBvWq6S4N6RpZLGrqTHpiwuhLIhPdQ8U0PaErP-uLAFtfNP6M3j3Qa1_9aOZpYOW0C3wyLyIqh3ilUhFmLje1N75rBqLuMh5oilW4Awh5zNAiGMLvwbsY0rEnYVeSQznOTjwz30/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.25-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF674TnudwEYAcA61lcivSPF6FtvqKrC5qn7xb6lQbLT8a1yRu17toW2z81z53ecwzy_frEtI-31ylYigrRlUw0aeTJ-MSNxggA-iCFxARJ6gK97eTkbXAr_JJsk_qs5bmCwYO6Gg4xy9X/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.36-PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF674TnudwEYAcA61lcivSPF6FtvqKrC5qn7xb6lQbLT8a1yRu17toW2z81z53ecwzy_frEtI-31ylYigrRlUw0aeTJ-MSNxggA-iCFxARJ6gK97eTkbXAr_JJsk_qs5bmCwYO6Gg4xy9X/s1600/Screen-shot-2011-10-03-at-11.42.36-PM.png" /></a></div><br /> <br /> <b>Related links:</b> http://knstrct.com</div>

The brave five-persons family villa attracts attention in the middle of the surrounding standard houses, but has been created by a clear “image quality plan”. The paradox between the freedom of design, with the clear “image quality plan” and the standard solutions, which are generally the results from this plan, form the basis for the development of the design, in which both extremes have been tested to each other continually. An hermetic, abstract volume is folded, moulded and shaped to a true strange, but imaginative speaking form, familiar with its tenants.</p> <p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/24985/dwelling-workhouse-hdt-hoogte-twee-architecten/1907501711_hdt-02-ad/" rel="attachment wp-att-24988" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="444" src="http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/1907501711_hdt-02-ad-528x444.jpg" title="1907501711_hdt-02-ad" width="528" /></a></p> <h3>(BE)LIVEABLE SPACE</h3> <p>The slanting roof levels and the slightly yielding fronts take care of a spatial dynamics which can be felt everywhere by the free plan. A bath furniture, lifted until just under the roof takes care for functional divisions and reinforces the spatial experiences.</p> <p><a href="http://www.archdaily.com/24985/dwelling-workhouse-hdt-hoogte-twee-architecten/984618662_hdt-09-ad/" rel="attachment wp-att-24995" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="331" src="http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/984618662_hdt-09-ad-528x331.jpg" title="984618662_hdt-09-ad" width="528" /></a></p> <h3>INTROVERT / EXTROVERT</h3> <p>The apparent dark and closed mass has been illuminated with three patios which provide air and light to the liveable spaces. Mutual relations between living and working are reinforced with this or just avoided: a subtle game in which the playing with the theme ‘distance’ is central.</p> <a
