Maximum Garden House / Formwerkz Architects



One questions the sense of ?landed-ness? in a typically maxed-out envelope of a semi-detached typology. What is usually left over after the building footprint is no more than a slender planting strip on the ground. Hence, one of the prime motivations of this house was to seek out more garden spaces/surfaces in an attempt to redress this imbalance while we fulfill the client?s brief.

The mother of 2 young boys wanted a house where she could keep an eye on her kids without the need to be in the same space. Loos?s Raumplan, somehow, came to mind.











The Picturesque Landscape

The vertical wall planting set within a niche along the front boundary wall and the shrubbery on the car-porch roof, reclaim surfaces otherwise normally neglected as canvasses for beautification.






The Planter Screen

Enclosing part of the building fa?ade on the upper floor is a layer of planting system we devised to behave more like a curtain wall. Its primary function is to perform as a privacy screen and to keep the rain out. We were particularly thrilled with this detail as it approximates to an organic envelope. The curtain of plants coincides building performance with man?s affinity for nature.

Default Like Living in a Giant Jenga Game
It may resemble a giant Jenga game. But to Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto his wooden bungalow represents the next generation of home design.

The primary qualities of Fujimoto?s vision: minimalism, compact design, harmony with surroundings and multi-use spaces.

Take his wooden bungalow, for instance. Its footprint is a minuscule 4 meters by 4 meters (or 172 sq feet). But depending on how you count there are seven different living levels and multiple ?rooms.?





In Fujimoto?s own words:

"There are no categorization of floors, walls, and ceilings here. A locality that was thought as a floor transforms into chairs, ceilings, and walls from different perspectives. Floor levels are relative and people reinterpret the spatiality according to where they are. People are three-dimensionally distributed in space and will experience new sensations of depths. Spaces are not divided but is rather produced as a chance occurrence within fusing elements."







Equally as important for Fujimoto is that his forest bungalow is constructed entirely from wood beams. The floors, ceiling, stairs, window frames?all of it is formed by these beams stacked 11 high.

Evening Breeze Keeps You Cool at Night Without A/C


As the summer nights get warmer, many of you are switching out comforters for lightweight sheets and pulling out your fans and air conditioners from storage. While a cool breeze can be better than counting sheep during humid nights, powering on the air conditioner can be tough on the ol' electricity bill. Enter Evening Breeze.


The Dutch company builds bed posts and canopies with ventilation systems built into them. This helps ensure cool breezes go directly to the agitated sleeper, rather than circulating around a room or house before reaching them; allowing you to limit its use, saving money on electrical bills. Evening Breeze says its in bed ventilation systems can save you between 60 and 80 percent on your A/C bill.


The included remote lets you control what type of air you get throughout the night. As of now it looks like the Canopi is only available for hotels and resorts, but you may be able to score one for the home if you ask...

How it works

Default Imagine a Trap Door filled with wine
Wonderful Wine Cellars For Any Room in Your House










Ever want a wine cellar but don?t have the space or money to build one? The Spiral Cellars design/build firm will dig a hole right in whatever room you want your cellar in and haul the dirt right out the front door. In the remaining void they infill a highly functionally and visually dazzling spiral-staircase wine cellar to fit all your favorite vintages and go with your favorite funky furniture designs.



Everything is designed with function in mind but the resulting form is equally compelling ? the rows of wine face you as you wind your way down the central stair. Of course, you can store more than wine down in these as well ? they are a great and continuously cooled pantry extension for all kinds of beverages.



The cellars and kept at ideal temperatures, insulated on the sides and top. Cool air is piped in and warm air is piped out. Even when no air flow is needed for temperature purposes it is kept moving to keep the air fresh. Customers have had these installed in all kinds of ways, from flush- and hidden-door versions to entrances that intentionally boast their presence:



Some of these are clearly made to stand out.



Others blend more smoothly or seamlessly.
