The Hurst House by John Pardey Architects + Ström Architects is simple, clean and beautiful. That hovering box thing has been done and redone so many times, but I like it – it works… and looks great at night (if you’re not too shy)! This set of photos is great reference for stone and wood facade cladding and as it happens – this house has severed as inspiration for the BEST Visualization of WEEK No. 17 by lichtecht, who offered it in concrete.

It’s very hot in here now. Feels like the middle of summer, and I’m working on a design using mostly rough stones, so I’m thinking the Syros House by Myrto Miliou Architects will be a perfect inspirational fit to share with you all. It sure did inspire me today! The photos have very good stone detail in them and a strong feel of hot summer (seems to me they were treated to accentuate that). I find myself drawn towards this type of “earthy” architecture more and more lately. feels cosy.

Following up on the “Follow the line” facade style building showcased a couple of weeks back with MAD Architects ‘Absolute Towers’, I’m showcasing today the LTD_1 building designed by Peter Ruge Architekten. I’m gathering several such projects examples in light of the upcoming RailClone update. This one also reminds me a lot of Bertrand’s entry for the RailClone miniCHALLENGE. Should be fun recreating this like that.

In light of the recent 3d foliage/vegetation plugin updates and new releases (Forest Pack Pro v4, Laubwerk Plant Kit, Carbbon Scatter v2, The Plant Factory, etc.) I went looking for some amazing photo reference… trying to find an itch for you to scratch 
‘The Caterpillar’ House by Feldman Architecture hit that spot and nailed it deep into the ground! Enjoy this great set of photos by Joe Fletcher showcasing the house nestled in the green surroundings of Carmel, California (Location, location… location) with warm wooden interior and a fabulous dusk shot.
I found the Ridge Road Residence by StudioFour after seeing an interview with Australian Architectural Photographer Shannon McGrath on the TWiT Photo show dated June 26, 2012 (episode 63). Catherine Hall and Leo Laporte conducted an hour long interview with Shannon which you must see. Anyway, I looked for some projects she took pictures of and found this one, a great looking set (architecturally too) referencing dark wood / white combination and a toned down a la monochromatic exterior treatment.

MAD Tornado looking twin towers design by… MAD Architects! How fitting. It is real but so crazy some of these photos come through as CG. It is a small set of photos, but great reference for the materiality of the tower under light, glass and some unique viewpoints one can go for.
