Rock materials decorate every corners for decorating interior and facade, even excavated native stone was also added to aggregate concrete for flooring. Combination of classic and contemporary interior decorates the spaces without ignoring of utilization of native stone. Large glass windows let natural light come inside and become a fresh view looked from inside. Green roof full of grass gives the impression of natural garden grows on roof surrounded by the rocks.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Pierre by Olson Kundig Architects</span>:</h3><blockquote class="tr_bq">“The owner’s affection for a stone outcropping on her property  and the views from its peak inspired the design of this house. Conceived  as a bunker nestled into the rock, the Pierre, the French word for  stone, celebrates the materiality of the site. From certain angles, the  house – with its rough materials, encompassing stone, green roof and  surrounding foliage – almost disappears into nature.<br />To set the house deep into the site, portions of the rock  outcropping were excavated using a combination of machine work and  handwork. The contractor used large drills to set the outline of the  building, then used dynamite, hydraulic chippers, a selection of wire  saws and other hand tools, working with finer and finer implements as  construction progressed. Excavated rock was re-used as crushed aggregate  in the concrete flooring. Excavation marks were left exposed on all the  stonework, a reminder of the building process.<br />With the exception of a separate guest suite, the Pierre  functions on one main level, with an open plan kitchen, dining and  living space. A wood-clad storage box (made with siding reclaimed from a  Lionel Pries-designed house) transitions from outside to inside the  house. Its two large bookcases open to provide concealed access to  laundry and kitchen storage. A large pivoting steel and glass door opens  for access to an outdoor terrace. Set at a right angle to the main  spaces, a master suite features a custom designed bed with a leather  headboard and footboard set in the middle of floor-to-ceiling  bookshelves.<br />Throughout the house, the rock extrudes into the space,  contrasting with the luxurious textures of the furnishings. Interior and  exterior fireplace hearths are carved out of existing stone; leveled on  top, they are otherwise left raw. The master bathroom’s sink is  composed of water cascading through three polished pools in the existing  stone. Off the main space, a powder room is fully carved out of the  rock. A skytube is through to the top of the rock and topped by glass. A  mirror set within the tube serves as a focal point, reflecting natural  light into the space and connecting to a forged bronze sink.<br />Interiors by Olson Kundig Architects, in collaboration with the client.”</blockquote>Photographs by <a href="http://www.benschneiderphoto.com/" target="_blank">Benjamin Benschneider</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The goal was to create large integrated indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces without sacrificing a sense of domestic intimacy for the young couple. The design explores the potential for diversity of spatial experience within the constraints of a standard rectilinear city lot. The interior-exterior relationships of the multiple outdoor patios and gardens are formed integrally within the architectural framework, so that the whole site becomes a cohesive living space.</span></i><br /><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Sectionally, the house is made up of two parts that are connected by a central stair. The first part is two-stories with high ceilings and a roof-deck, the second is three-stories above grade, with moderate ceiling heights, and another story below grade opening onto a sunken courtyard. The open stair is lit from above by skylight, and daylight floods into the interconnected floor spaces as a result of this open vertical stair element.</span></i><br /><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Light is considered in the house as a means of defining scale and intimacy in the space. This is demonstrated in the main floor Living / Dining Room. South light is filtered through an intimately scaled front window with horizontal wood fins, moderating the direct southern exposure and defining the private realm from the street. A narrow skylight along the length of the main living space provides soft light from above, lending an introspective quality to the otherwise large and open space. The north wall of the room is made up of large glass sliding doors, opening to the rear patio and garden. The large overhang ensures that the light is even and diffuse. The residence is oriented and designed for passive solar usage, and the relationship of windows to their overhangs also maximizes solar gain in the winter, and controls it in the summer.</span><br /><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The construction of a well insulated building envelope, with high quality triple glazing allows this home to maintain a high level of energy efficiency while accommodating large glass areas. A high efficiency heating / cooling system, including air to water heat pump, heat recovery, and in-floor radiant heat, as well as rooftop solar hot water heating was integrated into the design and construction. Planted roof areas establish a connection between the interiors and the gardens on all levels of the house, and also reduce heat reflectance and rainwater runoff.</span></i><br /><i><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Landscape design on all levels makes use of native, drought tolerant plant species to minimize water usage. Rainwater harvesting and storage provide water that is required for the landscaping. The approach to the project was very collaborative, and a strong working relationship was established between the architect, client / builder, landscape designer and energy rater. The success of the built project was the result of a shared vision between the professionals involved: to develop a home that integrates strong design and high-end finishing with sustainable building practices, and conscious choice for energy reduction and environmentally preferable products.”</span></i></blockquote></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
