Design - Split Level House

I've seen renderings of this place around the web for a few months, and it appears that Qb Design has finally completed the Split Level House in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.
I'm very impressed with the way that Qb played off the curved corner facade of the property across the street with a modern spin.

Glass Tower deMeuron

Is it just me, or does Eric Owen Moss' design for a glass tower look like H&dM's Bird's Nest stadium in China had a baby with Frank Gehry's dancing building in Prague? A little low on the creativity juice are we?

Architects - Jodlowa House

The Jodlowa House in Krakow by PCKO and MOFO looks like a remix of the farnsworth house.


decaARCHITECTURE - Aloni House

Greek design firm decaARCHITECTURE has won the Piranesi Award with their Aloni House in Antiparos, Greece. The house fills the void between two retaining walls that bridge a 'saddle' between adjacent hills. The landscape of the hill flows cleanly over the house, blending in seamlessly. Four courtyards bring light into the living spaces.

MVRDV - Celosia Residence

MVRDV & Blance Lleo's design for the Celosia Residence in Madrid has been realized. The apartment building was developed by EMVS, a Madrid city public housing company. The building is situated around a large central courtyard, and is cut up into 30 staggered 'blocks'. Courtyards are abound on every level between the blocks, creating fantastic outdoor communal areas and an interesting facade. The exterior has a unique sheen, achieved by apolyurethane coated concrete.

The Mirador housing project, completed a few years ago can be seen in the distance in the last photo.

Building Specs:
146 Units
232,000 sq ft.
$18,780,000 construction cost
($81 per sq ft.)

Group A - Selected Works

Group A's Student Housing 'Blok 1 Presikhaaf' project in the Netherlands has 90 small living units with a communal roof terrace. I like the way they cut up the face with window size and placement, making the most out of a small budget and simple floorplan.


Villa Bussum features a striking cantilever over the driveway and entrance, slanted walls and a floor-to-ceiling glass front on the first floor.

Blaak 8 is an office tower in Rotterdam's city center. There are 3 different floorplans as it rises creating a unique and sculptural facade.

Suppose Design Office - Cafe la Miell

Japan's Suppose Design Office's employed a split level design to achieve the triangular facade of their Cafe la Miell project.
