Case Study On Slip House

Interior design and architecture are essential, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life. In modern society people rely on function, durability, and visual appeal when selecting designs for their homes, businesses, and places of leisure. The way that a space is designed influences such things as mood, which, in the case of a business, can impact the productivity of employees and either draw or repel customers. In residential design, the design becomes very personal and, to be considered a successful design, must properly reflect the home owner while at the same time offering some practicality that makes the space livable. An effective design, for any space, must solve some problem, be it function, flexibility, or some other criteria. Simply solving a problem would not please the customer, however, unless it offered some visual appeal. Creating function with style is the real job of any interior designer, and is essential in a content society.

Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls. These vertical and horizontal planes further dictate a rhythmic continuity throughout the building. Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)

“The family was building a home that met the strict guidelines of GREEN design” explained interior designer Linda Ruderman. “So I worked closely with them to select items designed for sustainable living”

Prime Innovation Building & Developments hold 20 years experience in the trade of carpentry. Throughout these years we have not only mastered the skills required but we have been able to refine our technique, and having had the benefit of working on high-end, architecturally designed homes we have been exposed to a vast array of different design techniques and have a good knowledge of the recent trends in materials being used. We are renowned house builders in Melbourne

Through investigating whether Radcliffe on Trent could go ‘of the grid’, the economic, environmental and social aspects will be considered. Each topic will be looked at in turn with reference to a variety of sources. In the paper the technology available will be looked at individually without considering individual properties and ways they will be able to make their properties more energy efficient. It also only considers domestic properties, excluding commercial and public buildings as well as street lighting etc.

The house is architecturally significant because it is one of the last examples of a simple, two- storey stone house on the gold fields. It was built in two sections, the single storey being built in 1856 had a symmetrical front facade of local coursed sandstone rubble and dressings to openings. The second section being built in 1861 was built to match the earlier part of the house with the same materials being used. Across the first floor there is an elegantly detailed cantilevered timber balcony with a hipped concave roof and with two French windows opening into it. Cantilevered balconies used to be common in Bendigo, but they are now rare, thus giving the people of Bendigo a visual of how buildings have changed throughout the years, making it a significant part of history. Along with the architectural significance is the historical significance, as it is among the few that was documented as being run as a brothel in the nineteenth century. Again this building is not an Antique or a Shrine as it is a piece of vital evidence about the past, and how houses were built and what materials were mainly used in past times which also demonstrates the evolution of Australia’s

We saw Chiswick House; this is a William Kemp designed garden. Syon House, the London home of the Dukes of Northumberland; the ‘house’ was stunning inside. The conservatory is one of the best preserved in the UK. Glorious landscapes designed by Capability Brown, this year we celebrate 300 years since his birth. Beautiful scenes showing hundreds of daffodils, magnolias, camellias, rhododendrons and azaleas. There is such a huge variety of daffodils which we never see here, over the years

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as

Kedleston Hall is a country house - also described as “a classical Palladian mansion” - which was interiorly re-designed and structured within the Georgian era in the setting of Derbyshire, England by Robert Adam. This was alongside a rebuild of the country home. The Georgian Period lasted from 1714 to 1830 and Kedleston’s build was in the midst of that within the years of 1759 and 1765 with Adam then completing the interiors between the 1760s and 1780s, meaning the main trends of the era are exhibited clearly within this piece of English architecture. The trends within architecture in this period mainly divided into Neo-Palladianism and Neo-classicism. The time of Kedleston Hall remodel falls into the trend of Neo-Palladianism that was prominent 1710-1760 however the Neo-classicist principals of Robert Adam influences the overall design of the interior.

The inefficient homes in the UK have catastrophic effects on global warming. The UK needs to become more energy efficient as at the moment it emits a large amount of greenhouse gases which risk dangerous climate change. The retrofitting of the brick three storey terraced town house is necessary in order to comply with the legislations set out by parliament in the UK Climate Change Act (2008) or if the house falls under the private rented sector it must comply with the Energy Act 2011.

In this picture, Victorian style house stands alone in the field. A railroad track cuts through the foreground. There is a bare sky behind the house with no secondary objects in the immediate surroundings of the building. this enables us to keenly focus on the articulation of the building and its relationship with its environment.

Different architects have different styles because they are trying to get at different things. Architecture is not just about making something beautiful anymore, it is about trying to get across a set of ideas about how we inhabit space. Two of the most famous architects of the twentieth century, one from each side, the early part and the later part up until today each designed a museum with money donated by the Guggenheim foundation. One of these is in New York City, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The other is in bilbao, Spain, and it was designed by Frank Geary. My purpose of this paper is to interrogate each of these buildings, glorious for different reasons, to show how each architect was expressing their own style.

Ballymun was Irelands first high rise town scheme. In 1963 Ireland was in urgent need of houses. This demand was due to the population growth of the 50’s and 60’s. It was also to move away from tenement dwellings. Most of the tenement buildings were dilapidated, old and in urgent need of repair. An alternative to this type of housing became a crucial political standpoint. “The planners and architects were convinced that system building and high rise architecture was the only conceivable solution to the housing crisis in Ireland”. Somerville-Woodward, R. (1997) Pg 35.

The entryways of the building come from four different sides and meet in the middle. The overall shape of the building creates different views and facades. The building was not created just on the looks of it; it is made up of a three dimensional, stimulating, tactile human thing.

The company founded in 2009 by Laurence Kemball-Cook provides a multifunctional flooring system. The vision of Pavegen is to redefine sustainability in the fabricated environment, with the formation of a spearheading flooring innovation that creates power from footsteps and captures information. Urban areas are developing at a rate of 1.5 million individuals consistently and by 2025, up to 40 urban communities will have a populace more prominent than 10 million. The innovation can interface and enable groups over the globe, using the power of footsteps to add to a more prominent natural objective. This technology can expect to enhance the information driven keen urban communities and rouse future eras to enhance the renewable vitality blend of tomorrow (Pavegen, 2016).
