The elevated views really take advantage of the expansive surroundings. It seems like the main level is an elongated balcony and rests on the elements below. Extra points for the reflection pool. Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.

  1. I find it always fun to fall on a Good blog that has actual good content! The last blog i read didnt have as much info as this one. thx

  2. The way cantilevers are used today in the current architectural fashion trends (especially what is comming out of holland, and what they are doing with cantilevers) looks so heavy and tired… It looks like the building is working really hard to hold itself up. And why is everything boxy. It seems like we’ve taken a few steps back from the precedents set by Frank lloyd wright and what he did to smash the box.. and his cantilevers look like they really float, and his effort to produce organic architecture, that sets into the landscape, and that does not potrude out like a phalanx symbol. and none of these glen murkutt sheep tin shed crap. Come on architects of today put your titanic egos aside. Ordinary people aren’t so stupid that they can’t understand architecture. Architects have lost toutch with one thing that is important, designing for people, not for yourselves. And all these balloney modern philosophies with corbusier and that made up, is just philosophy.. they are words, and ideas, not anymore phisical things.

  3. I agree to a point bob. Architecture should be foremost about people. But after all whats to say that it wasn’t the client pushing this cantilevered idea? Wright did as much for the planning of the internal spaces as much as pushing new external forms, its plain to see that this house picks up on both ideas and interprets them in an interesting fashion.

  5. Amazing! I would love to look through the lookout and see the well framed focal point. I would also love to go swimming there! :)

  7. Dies ist ein gro?er Ort. Ich m?chte hier noch einmal.

  8. Great Design! We as architects find that most clients coming to us are looking for an exciting environment to live in. Nothing influences a family’s lifestyle than the hours they spend in their home. Our client for the DARE HOUSE is one of 10 houses to be featured on the popular TV show GRAND DESIGNS. It is constructed with 7 shipping containers and conventional construction. One 40 foot container on the firat floor will cantilever far more than half its length!! See it on our website along with a one bedroom house in a 40 ft container, the SMALLisSMART HOUSE.

  10. I’m not an architect by far, but I love this design. Very nice house. My only criticsm would be that I’d like to see more narrow uses of teh lines. It does seem a bit boxier than it needs to be.

    What this structure says to me:

    Hello, I’m an architect, and I have a very small penis. So, I designed this phallus to show everyone that I really do have a very large penis. Look at my penis. Look. LOOK! L@@K!
