modernizing:

Thorne Bay House by Bossley Architects, located in Takapuna, New Zealand.

A compact house designed for a beautiful but small and near-impossible site! The desire not to damage the trees or their extensive root systems, combined with the steep slope and limited turning circle for cars, the rock outcrops, and the restrictive planning controls resulted in an innovative building which and is squeezed under, around and between the limbs of the trees, and still manages to take full advantage of the site, the sun and the views. 

The character of the house changes as it rises from the ground towards the sky. The ground floor level comprises orthogonal spaces, which follow the slope in a series of steps down towards the sea, providing sea views from each level. Upstairs, the rooms become more angular and free flowing, to reflect the contortions of the pohutukawa limbs.

18.36.54 Home by Daniel Libeskind, Connecticut, United States

18 planes, 36 points, and 54 lines make up the continuous faceted metallic ribbon that folds over itself creating interstitial spaces and fragmented apertures to the rural exterior.
