The architect minimized the finish materials palette. Both roof and exterior siding are 4-way-interlocking machined aluminium shingles, installed by the same sub-contractor to maximize quality and productivity. Interior finishes and built-in furniture were limited to plywood and OSB (oriented strand board) with no decorative trimmings. The open floor plan reduced the need for doors and thresholds. In return, his rather stoic approach expanded client’s freedom for space use, an essential criterion for single family homes.

Crafted with a vision to etch a prudent home, tracing a simple and economical layout, Motif Architects designed ‘Lakeway Lease House’, a humble home for enjoyment-year round.
A play of overlapping roofs stirs a unique statement in the neighborhood of Apache Shores.
The foremost feature was to build a cost-efferent lease home, where the criterion was to generate revenue. It was achieved by creating common plumbing “wet” walls, minimizing unoccupied attic storage spaces and shafts, and conveniently weaving a simplified framed layout.
The plans outline a functional scheme of arrangement. The exterior façade showcases a combination of board and batten along with ship lap fiber cement board. Composite roofing stylized in a staggered form at varying levels adds a dynamic expression to the house. Awnings are provided over every door with tongue-and-groove wood soffits.

A criterion for this young teen's hang out space was to provide as many "sleepover" spots as possible. Hence the sleeper sofa, sleeper ottoman and a floor cushion under a dormer window. The swivel chair is from Swaim, and the sofa and ottoman from Lee Industries. The color scheme was inspired by the embroidered pillows.

2015 Southwest Regional Design Award Winner! The project’s construction took place during the building of the home. The river front lot sloped drastically down toward the river making a system of retaining walls necessary to establish the usable areas of the back yard. Five separate levels of walls were constructed in order to proceed with backfilling. It was necessary to fill and compact seven feet to reach the desired grade. A large dropped deck area made for a perfect outdoor kitchen and fire pit area.
As if the topography’s elevation changes weren’t enough of a challenge, the client’s number one criterion was seamless elevations both inside and outside to include all of the doorway thresholds. He also wanted the design to have a geometric and modern look. The zero edge design fit the criteria perfectly and also allowed for an infinity edge on the back to take full advantage of the elevated river view. The limestone patio is cut in random size rectangles that incorporate drains cut into limestone to maintain the seamless appearance.
To enhance the modern look, we used a black iridescent glass tile for the interior including the large sun shelf as well as the six entry steps. The tile overhang of the weir wall was accomplished by first placing limestone on the gunite portion. The pool was then filled, in order to check the levelness of the edge. Minor imperfections were sanded out to insure a near perfect edge. Because of the exhaustive efforts to ensure precise leveling, the pool can operate on only one pump and at less than 50 gallons per minute. The pool is fully automated.

The criterion for choosing one particular kitchen countertop usually comes down to the following: durability, visual appealing and easiness to maintain.
We’d have to say that the most important of these criteria when deciding upon one type of kitchen countertop is the durability, since it will be used on a daily basis. Because of the fact that most of the work that takes place in the kitchen is performed on the countertop, it should be able to withstand whatever the Virginia homeowners decide to do with the minimum amount of care for visual aspect of the kitchen countertop.

"We often rush to divide everything as white and black and store them separately in a separate place. But seemingly opposing things that are inseparable - that is the world - are a mixture of different things." _Matisyahu_
The contrast between black and white is not only a choice but also a way to make it special. When stepping into an all-white or all-black living space, it is easy to feel purity or luxury, but it can also suggest a little skepticism about the monotony or oppressiveness it brings. So using black and white is therefore not difficult but definitely not easy.
In the apartment project at Vinhomes Symphony apartment that we implemented this time, white and black are no longer just two opposing colors, but they are combined and mixed, intertwined creatively to create a unity. As an expression of day and night, brilliance and mystery, white and black have adopted tricks and materials, arrays of blocks and light, blending together with the goal of creating living spaces with comfort, convenience and luxury.
"This is probably a very special and interesting project for me and my colleagues, right from the first approach, the investor is also a sister, a person with a young, dynamic way of thinking with a very special and very own taste. After each actual project, we keep a diary of the conceptualization, design and execution process. Join us to look back on the process of project formation as well as better understand the philosophy, ideas and functions that have been sent in the project" - Kts. Dang Duong - Founder of D2Architects.
The current status of the project is 2 apartments located at location A-20 and A-21 in S6A building of Vinhomes Symphony apartment. With an east-facing façade, the apartment is endowed with the advantage of natural light as well as excellent panoramic views. The highlight of this apartment is the view opening to the Phuc Loi lotus lagoon with a large area, more than 10 hectares and airy landscape by the Duong River.
These are not merely apartments, but they are also places to express creativity and make harmonious use of natural light and surrounding nature. Every view from these apartments not only opens up amazing scenery but also a lifestyle full of relaxation and tranquility amidst the noisy city.
With the special importance of location and unique views, making perfect use of space and light here is not only an advantage but also a great potential to create a sophisticated and classy living space. The sophistication in design and handling of space has been put on top by us, in order to make the most of these extremely special advantages.
In order for a living space to truly become a place called "Home" – a place where we want to return and feel peaceful while there, we have carefully researched the preferences and desires of the owner. Sharing with me about her hobby, Ms. Yen expressed that she loves a modern space with minimalist style and cool tones, creating a sense of tranquility and elegance. This is clearly reflected in the original idea for the apartment.
What's even more interesting is his teenage son's hobby of playing Lego. This is not only a personal preference but also a special source of inspiration for the design process. From these data, we built a preliminary idea for the comprehensive living space of the apartment.
The combination of the requirement of modern, minimalist space and cool tones along with creative elements from his son's personal hobby of playing Lego has created a unique living space, both reflecting the owner's own personality and meeting the needs of living and personal preferences. This is the foundation for creating a real home, where each member of the family feels content and peaceful every time they return.
The project uses the main tone of industrial wood painted in dark gray, white and dark veneer. Versatile combination with other modern materials such as smoke glass and artificial stone,... Create a work of architectural art where everything intersects harmoniously with natural light like a great symphony.
The contrast between the bass of the cool tone and the warm, gentle touch of the light creates an impressive picture of a delicate blend of opposing elements. The soft, beautiful touch of this space is hidden in the strength and modernity of the materials used. This is not only a house, but also a mirror that clearly reflects the personality and philosophy of life of the owner.
The modern, youthful spirit is clearly shown from the moment you cross the threshold to enter the house. Flexibility, creativity and the harmonious intersection of materials and light have created a colorful and sophisticated living space, while celebrating the beauty of modernity and youthful vitality.
LIVING ROOM:
The living room is not merely a living area or common living space of the family, but according to feng shui concept, this is the place where the best energy of the house is concentrated. Therefore, creating a special living room space is extremely important.
Neutral gray-white tones are made in the background, creating the foundation for sophistication and elegance. Color accents are subtly applied, creating a unique touch for the house, increasing the creativity and style of the owner.
Maintaining the spirit of LEGO - unlimited creativity - through every corner, every architectural line has created an interesting space experience right in the living room. It stimulates the imagination of all ages, opening up space for each person to freely create, build and connect with each other through the common language of LEGO.
KITCHEN & DINNING ROOM:
The kitchen is an indispensable piece in every family, this place is likened to the heart of the whole house. All one needs to create great taste is love and creativity in the kitchen. Because the kitchen with family meals is the emotional bond between members. Therefore, designing a beautiful and functional kitchen requires a delicate combination of colors, shapes and meticulousness in choosing the right materials.
Today's kitchen is invested by many people in both form and quality, so a beautiful, luxurious, modern, comfortable kitchen that fully meets the needs of each family is the design criterion D2 Architects aims for.
The Lego House project is not just a project anymore but it is really the result of sending all our core values and creative spirit to create a living space that symbolizes the interconnectedness of design, art and soul.
