Contemporary Courtyard House, Philippines

Buensalido Architects a Phillipines-based design studio has renovated a dilapidated warehouse into a contemporary family abode. Completed in 2010, this single storey home is located in Parañaque City, Philippines.

According to the architects: “Upon seeing the old, original, dilapidated structure, we were quick to agree that the structure could be converted into a contemporary Philippines property by giving focus to an open, pre-existing courtyard right in the middle of the house.

“Instead of an excluded outdoor space, it is now stitched to all its rooms as they all flow into it both physically and visually. By employing a series of glass skylights above the courtyard, it now becomes part of the interior spaces as it can be used as an extension of the living and dining areas, but at the same time feel as if it were an outdoor space as people can still catch glimpses of the sky through the glass cut outs on the ceiling of this fabulous contemporary property in the Philippines.”

The Luxurious Elysium 169, Australia

Australian design studio BVN Architecture with offices in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney has designed the Elysium 169 House. Completed in 2009 the luxurious property can be found in Noosa, Queensland, Australia.

According to the architects: “This contemporary Australian house was designed as a part of the 189 house Elysium Noosa development.

“This generous and open house celebrates its wonderful location on the edge of an environmental park overlooking Lake Weyba. The sculptured modernist expression of its white washed walls and deeply carved recesses combine with the softening effects of finely detailed timber screens and natural finishes for a sense of contemporary elegance and refined under statement.

“The interplay of natural textured surfaces and abundant natural light contribute to the rich and luxurious tropical character of the contemporary Australian property. The careful planning arrangement enables a sense of openness and connectivity with the adjacent pooland natural garden setting.”
