Glass House Designs & Ideas
The Port Ludlow Residence is a compact, 2400 SF modern house located on a wooded waterfront property at the north end of the Hood Canal, a long, fjord-like arm of western Puget Sound. The house creates a simple glazed living space that opens up to become a front porch to the beautiful Hood Canal.
The east-facing house is sited along a high bank, with a wonderful view of the water. The main living volume is completely glazed, with 12-ft. high glass walls facing the view and large, 8-ft.x8-ft. sliding glass doors that open to a slightly raised wood deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space. During the warm summer months, the living area feels like a large, open porch. Anchoring the north end of the living space is a two-story building volume containing several bedrooms and separate his/her office spaces.
The interior finishes are simple and elegant, with IPE wood flooring, zebrawood cabinet doors with mahogany end panels, quartz and limestone countertops, and Douglas Fir trim and doors. Exterior materials are completely maintenance-free: metal siding and aluminum windows and doors. The metal siding has an alternating pattern using two different siding profiles.
The house has a number of sustainable or “green” building features, including 2x8 construction (40% greater insulation value); generous glass areas to provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs for sun and rain protection; metal siding (recycled steel) for maximum durability, and a heat pump mechanical system for maximum energy efficiency. Sustainable interior finish materials include wood cabinets, linoleum floors, low-VOC paints, and natural wool carpet.

Partendo dal luogo della cava di sassi noa* (network of architecture) ha sviluppato un concetto che parte dalla mura di pietra che è tipico per l’area e proprio questo elemento del muro è applicato come nei vigneti dei dintorni.“...In questo posto, l’ architettura deve essere implementata nel modo più naturale...”-Lukas Rungger. La villa ‘Am Steinbruch’ è una casa privata per due famiglie che si trova nei bordi del paese di Sopra bolzano (IT) con una vista al panorama spettacolare delle Dolomiti. L’area è una vecchia cava di sassi che è stato il punto di partenza per il concetto. Nei posti più bassi l’altopiano di Renon è fiancheggiato con vigneti e le mura a secco che sono anche le mura di sostegno formano degli elementi del paesaggio culturale. L’architettura della villa ‘Am Steinbruch’ si occupa con l’integrazione della storia locale e dei tradizione sempre nel dialogo con la natura che è sempre presente.

noa* (network of architecture) established, starting from the place –the quarry / Renon, a design concept, which implements the stone wall in the same way as it is used in the vineyards -as a supporting element.„...Architecture on this particular place has to meet nature on the most natural way...“ -Lukas RunggerThe Villa “Am Steinbruch”, a private house hosting two families, is established in the outskirts of the village of Oberbozen / Soprabolzano facing the greatmountainpanoramaof the Dolomites. The place is a formerquarry, which was the starting point in the development of the concept.The lower parts of the high plateau of the Ritten / Renon area are lined with vineyards, which grow at the steep hillsides; the different rows are supported by dry stone walls, which form elements of the cultural landscape. noa* (network of architecture) implements the stone wall in the same way as it is used in the vineyards -as a supporting element. In doing so the intermediation with the local tradition and the accordance with the omnipresent nature was always crucial to the conceptual approach.
Popular Filters to Try:
Wood clad walls define the actual enclosure of the interior space, but do not necessarily rest on the floor or wrap all sides of the space. In contrast to the upright and vertical wood and concrete planes, a zinc-edged roof is decidedly horizontal, often extending beyond the enclosed space to create shade and echo the dramatic umbrella-like canopies of nearby trees.
