Thanks for Mr Jason M Zerafa who sent us their latest work called Riverhouse Niagara, situated on a riverfront in Niagara Falls. The principal feature of the 1.85 acre site fronting the Niagara River just upstream from the Horseshoe Falls is the long unobstructed river views across the full 164 ft width of the property. The 4700 sq.ft of interior living space and 1200 sq.ft of covered terrace were crafted to embrace this feature and find a balance between the relative transparency encouraged by the views and the privacy concerns of the owners.

Here’s the modern beach house located on a few hundred meters from nearby Marcus Beach by BARK Design Architects. This home is a perfect example of a contemporary building with beautiful, sustainable and natural concept. The home surrounding with tropical plants and it make the home atmosphere feel so cool. The basic plan of this house was sketched out in the sand during and early site visit: a simple diagram of two pavilions placed another side of a vulnerable Morton Bay ash that stands as a cynosure to the scale, proportions and life of the house around it. The pavilions are linked by a transparent bride in an arrangement that opens all rooms to light, space and garden views of the north. The main pavilion accommodates living spaces focused around a double-height deck space, for the children and service zone located on eastern pavillion. The parents retreat above is accessed via a transparent stair tower that is by day a contemplative space and by night, a lantern. Materials are simple and lightweight. Floors are Black Japanned chipboard; translucent polycarbonate sheeting wraps around the outer wall of the bridge and the staircase. Color sections arefer to the landscape, either through contrast like Chinese red accents, or concurrence in greys, whites and natural weathering timbers. See the plan and section after the jump.
