North Face by nodo17 group in Madrid, Spain

in #life8 years ago

To fully appreciate this house design, you need to watch the video below and look at the bird's-eye view on the bottom.

From the architect. North Face was designed as a protection wall from cold winds. It was built reusing granite masonry from a house in ruins. In the inner facade of North Face wall grows a humid landscape of climbing plants, ficus and palms trees. A south oriented solar chimney illuminates the interior landscape from above.  

The program is developed between the inner landscape of north face wall and the exterior landscape formed by liquidambars and cedars. The house volume is fragmented to enhance diagonal views of the exterior landscape. 

As always, please comment and upvote!

pretty awesome house, I remember the house u posted on that was something like "the valley house" where it was built between two hills, i'd say the northface is almost as kool as that one

Thank you, @parker.hammer! It's 'officially' called Bridge House and it's located in LocationMarin, CA, United States.
