Hof | a new Country Residence by Studio Granda Architects
Description :
Located in the Skakafjördur fjord, Iceland. This New Country Residence that was designed by Studio Granda Architects was designed and built on 2000-2004. The house located less than 100km from the Arctic Circle. The spectacle of the location, its remoteness and special program fuelled a unique rapport between the client, contractor and architect resulting in a building that is in every respect a direct consequence of that collaboration.
The existing assemblage of buildings on the estate included a house, church, barn and cowshed clustered on a riverbank. Further inland are recently constructed horse stables. The wide fjörd has a mountainous rim punctuated with long valleys embracing the cliff islands of Drangey, Málmey and the graphic foreland Thórdarhöfdi. The new residence is slightly removed from the old cluster on raised ground, with each room and space orientated to capture this magnificent panorama.
Externally the house rises from the tufted site as a series of sheer cedar and concrete walls that will weather according to the vagaries of the elements. The displaced grass of the field is reinstated on the roof and the surrounding meadow is cut and folded in earthworks of turf and stone that open ways to the entrance and terraces. Hexagonal basalt pillars were excavated from the site during the preparations for the foundations and the external surfaces are paved in this material.
Most internal walls are of raw or painted concrete and the ceilings, doors and other carpentry are predominately of oiled sawn oak with steel details; a rustic palette offset by smooth painted planes. In a gesture of refinement and escape the kitchen and bathrooms enjoy marble surfaces suggestive of more habitable latitudes whereas the larder’s glazed white tiles and basalt shelves reminds of the need to stash food for harsh winters.

The Sistek House by Felipe Assadi

A neighborhood at the foot of the hill Manquehue, notorious slope whose architecture is far from overcome the natural inclination of the hill focusing on the mere realization of aesthetic fashion models.
The Sistek House arises from the outset as an opportunity to break that image with radically new style neighborhood. Adding to this, a plot of land twice the size of the solar neighbors, and the contrast would inevitably twice.
This raises some semblance of scarce resources formal reading quickly and with a load of contrast important. The party generally into two levels, looking on the one hand to get as much sunlight as possible, according to obstruction solar exercises on the hill around the neighborhood, and on the other hand, bypassing the slope in a phased manner, with the to take at least three horizontal levels: upper, dormitories, the base, where the sites are located in the lower common, for the garden and pool, the length of which resembles the Olympic semi total length of the house.
Due to a search on the economy of resources, the pine wood being use in the moldaje volume of concrete as a coating for the base level, by the same amount. Other materials using steel and glass, the latter as a resource to generate double fronts of view at this level, so to generate from the inside outward various scales of the same landscape, taking as reference points the hill toward Manquehue North and the city of Santiago to the south.
