Red House – Unusual House Design by group8 Architects

Red House its an unique house constructed from red, pored concrete. The group8 Architects have complete three houses in Crans-Près-Céligny, Switzerland, Each house has a sheltered loggia on the first floor as well as an open terrace. With unusual exterior shape and minimalist interior inside, its perfect for family who looking for a different housing design. Here’s some explanation about this house from group8 :

The invasion of the individual villa type can be seen as a ‘plague’ or as the inevitable result of a continuous hybrid landscape; a landscape composed with nostalgic ideas of a country side that has been planned too much and a ever-growing suburban sprawl. The position of the architect in this case is delicate. Should he work within the given reality of this deteriorated situation? Or should he fight against it –refuse to build in this density and typology?

The red houses place themselves in this type of problem, planting another object in this saturated suburban landscape. In this case, the purpose would be not to build an object but a small ‘ensemble’: a little community of individuals who can, through the new scale of the intervention, constitute a good mixture of urban and landscape architecture.
