The sumptuous and sophisticated conversion of a former dairy by the architect Charlotte Skene-Catling. The Dairy House is located in England between Bruton and Castle Cary.The engaging design and carefully considered detailing of the property is of a quality rarely matched in the UK – black Indian marble, for instance, is used throughout the kitchen, and alternating strips of estate oak and opaque glass form the newly-added annex.

The house has approximately 2,030 sq ft of internal space, which includes five bedrooms, a large kitchen, a large reception room with an open fireplace, a study area and, outside the property, a bathing pool. There is a generously sized garden that overlooks the rural landscape of Somerset.

The extension houses two bathrooms; everything behind the retaining wall can be flooded with water. Layered oak and laminated float glass produce an eerie, filtered light. The materializing effect of refraction and reflection create an aquatic underworld. The way the light moves around the house over the course of the day draws the user through it.

The property was originally built as a cheesemakers cottage in 1901. The conversion, completed in 2006, involved demolishing every partition within the original structure and creating a series of rooms within the stone shell. Added to the back of the original cottage is a beautiful oak and glass annex. The conversion and additions were conceived by Charlotte Skene-Catling of SCDLP .

L41 House Michael Katz1 L41 House by Michael Katz
The L41 home, designed by Architect Michael Katz and Artist Janet Corne is a 220 sq. ft, small, energy efficient, and sacrifices nothing but extraneous space. L41 can be stacked and is available in other sizes, including a 290-square-foot, one-bedroom model and a 360-square-foot, two-bedroom model.
The Tyee looked into pricing and learned the ultimate goal is to have these produced in bulk for about $50,000 each, fully equipped. Green elements include triple-glazed windows, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting, solar heating, heat recovery, and a plush green roof.

Ark House Axis Mundi01 Ark House by Axis Mundi
New Yorker architects from Axis Mundi created this sustainable citadel in the Montana plains called Ark House. They filled the request to design a home for a 100 acre site in Madison Valley, that feels contemporary while still related to the ancient landscape.

The Ark House has a very provocative residential design, including a 4,800 sq ft deck and 5400 sq ft three story interior. As you enter, a vast covered space like an open barn leads you to a staircase and then a bridge crossing over a pond. After what, the living space comes into view.

Residents must cross to the main house in the other end of the long narrow building, either by ascending to a platform out over both sides of the house or via a bridge passing over a three-storey atrium below.

Living areas and bedrooms in the four-storey home each look out over the mountainside at one end, and into the atrium at the other. Architect also conceived the house with a near zero energy profile with a high performance envelope, a ground source heat pump and solar electric panels built into the roof system.

Haus Gross in Greifensee, Switzerland, looks like a typical house by all accounts. But this modern and inventive design proves that looks can be deceiving. This understated, low-profile house holds a buried treasure in the form of an underground living space. The 721-sq.-ft. sub-grade home addition includes two sunken open-air courtyards leading into the three children’s bedrooms, a bathroom and a state-of-the-art home theater for private film screenings. A two-storey glazed façade lets light flood every corner, above ground and below.
