SZ House is a small family house located in Ibaraki (Japan), is primarily an original project in its approach, without frills or luxuries, resolved with sobriety, for many may be too much. The property occupies an area of 105m2 and basically consists of four parallel walls that enclose three main areas: one private, one public, and a third elongated and narrow is the connection between the two.

As expected, the private area of the SZ House was occupied by the bedroom, bathroom, patio and a room for leisure. The public area consists of the garage, patio, and the piece that has the living room and kitchen. Besides the important functions of ventilation and lighting, every yard is adapted to the privacy of every part of the house: the kitchen, the patio has a broad view of the street, while from the bedroom is the leisure room. We would like to know how to control for the bath, which is fully glazed.

The corridor that connects all the rooms comes to be seen as an area of overwhelming proportions, something that could have been improved with a good skylight. The flue from the kitchen seems to be crying out for a ride vertically to the roof, and not understand why the floor of the corridor lined with the same tile in the garage. Still, a home has earned for quality analysis.

To say that a building is integrated into the landscape is a resource that many publishers abuse to praise a project when in reality we all know that is like talking of cement and margaritas. This time the topic is true, because this housing Longhi Architects is carved in a hill of Pachacamac, 40km south of Lima (Peru), blending with their surroundings.

It is a work of architectural camouflage, but rather of symbiosis between land and human activities, both routine and intellectual. On an area of 5000m2 built area occupies approximately 480m2, which are organized in different “front” as the hillside.

Raised as a retirement home for a philosopher, it was all projected on an “invented ancient language”, there is symmetry and almost all their holes are distributed in a disorderly manner, but without breaking the overall harmony of the work.

A large area glass cube on its end is the only piece of “naked” all the house, the rest is always behind the walls that form its walls of stone, or simply buried.

It’s powerful texture of the masonry walls, which sometimes serve to hold the land and others to form the front, sometimes alternating with concrete walls, but always giving the building a character of ancient and modern settlement in their language.

The interior is even more unpredictable because the surprising property in each of his travels, with a total degree of customization, standard with no gaps, presenting solutions for each entry and volumes of concrete to form part of the furniture of the house, as the case of hormgión dining table (also see floor plan).

The originality and freedom with which it has designed this project are typical of the virtual architecture and even setting up for some games. In fact anyone who has spent hours in front of the monitor through the scenes of Tomb Raider will know what I mean because the atmosphere is found in every part of it is there where you are carrying.

Of such a project could not miss each of its plants and a longitudinal section, to be better appreciating the geometry of many of its elements.
