The Robinson Residence by BDA Architecture

This family beach house occupies a long narrow site 10m wide x 50m deep across the road from the ocean. Built to the setback controls on all boundaries it is pulled apart in the centre to provide a private north facing courtyard which is sheltered from the prevailing south easterly. The front component of the house contains a garage and entry at ground level, a living area on the first floor and a master suite on the second floor. Both the upper levels open out onto terraces overlooking the ocean. The rear component contains bedrooms and a second living area which opens into the courtyard and pool. Reduced in form to a series of planar elements dramatically cantilevered towards the ocean, this beach house makes reference to the original beachside vernacular of Miami.

Modern Architecture in the Rain Forest of El Salvador ∞

Modern architecture and home design is making its way to all corners of the world thanks to architects like Jose Roberto Paredes who let Dwell into his home for a look around. This open and angular modern home in the rain forest outside of San Salvador, El Salvador is home to Paredes and his family who as you can see has ample fun and relaxation room. El Salvador known for its Spanish Colonial architecture may get a well needed boost of modern from Cincopatasalgato, the firm started by Paredes after studying in Spain and working for his father. I am a big fan of modern industrial residential architecture as well as open floors plan with fewer large rooms. Read more about this great looking home at Dwell.com.
