Home design - contemporary home design idea in Raleigh

The project consist in a renovation of a ex-commercial space characterized by only one big opening facing the street the goal was to create a little condo of 8 units, each one with view, light, aeration and privacy. The project is located in an industrial area, in the northern part of Playa del Carmen, on the ground level of a three storey building, in a space was previously a storage space and a carpentry. The challenge of this project was to find a plan that could fit all the apartments and satisfy all the basic needs of each one of the apartments. The area of the floor was only about 300m² and the internal height 5m. The only source of light was the front window that occupy almost all the front wall. On one side was possible to open some little windows and on the other two sides I had to find my way to do it as well, because those sides were in contact with other constructions or a different lot. Every unit has a mezzanine, that divides the living room and kitchen on the first floor and the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Since the fan shape plan was choose as the best option, all the internal areas of the apartments doesn't correspond to a regular polygon. in order to solve the problematic of the reduced space every unit has a different design theme that fills this gap.

This bedroom had a large glass window that looked down onto the Living Room below. We installed a motorized ripplefold drapery track to cover the window when light control and privacy was needed.

We were given the challenge of designing a house overlooking a pond on a site constrained by wetlands. Our client had an interest in permanence and solidity and a desire to work with architectural concrete. Additionally, the client desired interiors that would showcase their substantial art collection. Our design approach began with the footprint of an L-shaped courtyard house, which in part, was determined by the limited buildable area. The house is sited on a natural rise in the land, allowing the first floor elevation to rise 15 ft above the pond’s surface; this height provides dynamic views through the trees that separate the house from the pond. Ultimately, our design leverages the inherent capabilities of architectural concrete i.e. its structural capacity; the material allows for bold cantilevers and expanses of glass, creating greater transparency between interior and exterior environments. The interior palette is comprised of rift sawn oak with 16-inch wide oak plank flooring, oak casework and millwork, a stainless steel and glass main staircase, and minimalist concrete details throughout. On the upper level, the plan accommodates a master bedroom suite, three children’s bedrooms, and a family room. The first floor includes a guest bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, office, and family room. The ground level has a recreational room, a mudroom, and office/studio. The site plan employs native plantings and includes a small resistance pool in the courtyard. Concrete will be utilized for all of the house’s structural and insulation components. This method modulates the fluctuation of interior temperature, creating both an energy-efficient envelope and enough concrete mass to keep temperatures moderate and consistent throughout a 24-hour day. The employment of triple-glazed windows and a triple-glazed aluminum curtain wall further increases the project’s energy efficiency and allows the house to have abundant glass. Natural light permeates the interior and affords spectacular view in all directions of both Todd Pond and the neighboring woodlands.
