Weird, beautiful, dizzying structures designed by avant-garde studies allow us to look and dream the unthinkable. We offer here a quick, enjoyable round-up of 5 of those we consider the most beautiful.
The Brutal House.
The brutal house is a precious OPA (Open Platform for Architecture) project whose architects were inspired by the Italian Villa Malaparte, a project by Adalberto Libera on the island of Capri. Set in the cliff, the villa overlooks the sea and has a swimming pool roof. Called Brutal as a tribute to the brutal architecture of the 1950s, the house will be a jewel in rough concrete, glass and wood overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Fallingwater
Fallingwater is a visionary, beautiful home, where nature manages to find a perfect harmonic fusion with the plastic art of architecture. Fallingwater is a work of art by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, built on a waterfall at Mill Run in Pennsylvania. The building, also known as the Kaufmann house, from the owner's name, leaves the impression of being suspended in time and is recognized everywhere in the world as a masterpiece of organic architecture. Currently, the house can be visited and there are various publications, including a beautiful photographic book by Edgar Kaufmann Jr., son of the developer of the villa and Wright's apprentice.
We also report an interesting video of the house created by Bauhaus Movement, which you can find here.
Pierre
Pierre, from the French "Stone" is the name of the unique house set in a group of boulders on San Juan Island. The house bears the signature of Olson Klunfing Architects and is an incredible chisel work, an extraordinary mimesis between the surrounding rocky nature and the human structure. In order to place the building in-depth in the site, it was necessary to resort to an intense combined work of mechanical and manual activities. The excavated rock was then reused as an aggregate for all the stone parts while other huge pieces of rock found a new place in the structure of the parking space. Mild steel, drywall and smooth cement, they offer interiors a large neutral background for the furnishings and works of art that it houses, without visual interference with the surrounding environment and the splendid bay on which the house faces.
House on the Castle Mountainside.
A bright, decisive cut characterizes the very white House on the Castle Mountainside. Designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, its geometric shape stands out on the cliffs of Ayora, Spain. Immersed in a landscape of unique beauty, it has been designed so that it can integrate into the environment without, however, camouflaging itself in it, establishing a dialogue of tension and constant balance between the development of the environment in its fragmentation and the juxtaposition of the dry and harmonious lines of the structure.
Pound Ridge House
A game of mirrors and breathtaking reflections is then reserved by Pound Ridge House, designed by Kieran Timberlake. The structure is made of stone, supporting material of the entire building, with polished and opaque steel able to make the surface iridescent and large windows overlooking the rocky escarpment that reflect the water. It is located in the Pound Ridge citadel in Westchester County, about 80km from New York.
