This wonderful playhouse, X-HUS is designed by Studio 17. A little Norwegian company with two architects Christine Petersen and Anne Frøydis Linnerud. Both mothers, they came up with the idea to X-Hus after realizing that a quality product like this did not exist for kids. The playhouse is produced here in Norway and comes flat packed, and easy to put together. Made out of 6 mm thick plywood with a footprint of 0.6 x 1.2 meters and a hight of 1.2 meters. Weight 20 kg, and cost from 3500 NOK depending on the finishing. If you are located in Oslo you can buy it from DogA.
London based studio carl turner architects has turned this barn in to a modern residence. For some this might be a bit over the top with the rough wood panels , but I love it. It’s been done with a great sense of style and it gives the industrial structure a modern edge. We see structural wood panels being used more and more in new projects. I think it is daring and bold, and it takes some skills to actually get it to work. Remember you ou can have it in different finishes. Another recommended project is this residence by Edwards Moore.

Japanese architecture are very characteristic with its simple geometry, and this project is not an exception. Suppose Design Office have created this space, they have a great portfolio of works, another one we showed is this unique cafeconcept. The rooms spins around a rectangular horizontal opening that goes from floor to ceiling through the whole house, which gives a constant flow of natural light into the house.

Et danskt arkitektpar har funnet roen i denne gamle låven og forvandlet den til et moderne og minimalistisk hjem. Et stilrent og varmt hjem, med en typisk nordisk stilretning. Store deler av boligen er dekket med treplater som er lagt i ulike lengder og retninger så det skaper et ekstra linjespill i tillegg til mønsteret i treverket. Det råe betonggulvet skaper en kontrast og gjør uttrykket litt røffere. Finerplatene gjør sin nytte både på vegger og i tak, og er med på å trekke de naturskjønne omgivelsene inn og skaper en ro og harmoni i interiøret.
A danish architect couple have found peace in this old barn and turned it into a modern and minimalistic home. A stylish and warm home, in a typical nordic style . Large parts of the house is covered with plywood boards that are placed in different lengths and directions, that create lines alongside the years of the woodwork. The raw concrete floor is a contrast to the woodwork and makes the look a bit rougher. Plywood panels does its use both on walls and ceilings, and bring the beautiful surroundings of nature inside the barn and creates a calm and harmonic feeling to the interior.

Gjennomgående i dette huset er bruken av kryssfiner i alle rom, og som en kontrast til resten av materialbruken. Kryssfiner i interiøret er en kontrast i seg selv. Et billig materiale som de fleste av oss ikke forbinder med interiørløsninger, mer et arbeid- og konstruksjons materiale. Men i den senere tid er det blitt populært og bruke kryssfiner som et hovedelement i innredningen. Spesielt kjøkkenet mot den blanke speilflaten fremhever konseptet. Det er rene linjer og nøktern palett som skaper en rolig, men spennende atmosfære.
The overall theme in this house is the use of plywood in every room, and as a contrast to the rest of the materials.Plywood in the interior is a contrast in itself. A cheap material most people don´t associate with interior design, but more as a construction and base material. But recently it has become popular to use plywood as a core element in interior design. Especially the kitchen put up against the shiny mirror surface emphasizes the concept. The clean lines and neutral palette, creates a tranquil, yet exciting atmosphere.

Den enkle bruken av materialer skaper dette rommet. Det er kontoret til Designfirm Bricks Amsterdam. Det røffe kryssfinerpanelet gir et mykere uttrykk til rommet, atmosfæren fremstår genuin, spesielt med de fantastiske vintage funnene de har innredet rommet med. Kryssfinerplatene er også et fint tips a lage moodboards på.
I really like the simplicity of the materials in this design. It’s the HQ of Designfirm Bricks Amsterdam. The rough plywood panel makes a cool statment to the room, it softens down the look. The atmosphere feels more genuine, specially with the great vintage finds they have decorated the room with. The plywood also gives a great background for the designers moodboards. It’s a good idea for your homeoffice and it’s easy to adapt.
Det japanske arkitekt firmaet Naruse Inokuma har renovert dette Tokyo hjemmet. De har fremhevet og avslørt byggets struktur av betong og lagt til kryssfiner å myke opp uttrykket. Jeg synes kombinasjonen er rå og vakker på samme tid. Et uvanlig hjem vil de fleste nok si, og noen også påstå, uferdig. Men jeg synes dette er flott arkitektonisk arbeid der strukturen spiller hovedrollen. Utseende på kjøkkene minner meg litt om et arbeid gjort av møbelsnekkeren Rainer Spehl. Og et annet hjem som har tatt det helt ut med bruk av fineer er dette! Funnet via en av mine favoritt blogger yellowtrace. Foto av Masao Nishikawa.
The Japanese architect firm Naruse Inokuma has just renovated this Tokyo home. Revealing its true structure of concrete and adding plywood to soften up the look. I think the combination is raw and beautiful at the same time. An unusual home most people will say, which might look a but unfinished. But I think its great architectural work where the structure plays the lead role. the kitchen reminds me of the work of Rainer Spehl. And another home that have gone all out with the use of plywood is this home. Found via one of my favorite blogs yellowtrace Photography is by Masao Nishikawa.
For et deilig sted, det primitive trepanelet mot det florlette tekstilet, som fungerer som romdeler mellom badet og resten av boligen. Liker den åpne planløsningen, men kan være greit å kunne trekke for av og til så man får litt privatliv. Bildene er via Architect-cafe som står bak prosjektet, funnet via Dornob.
What a cool place, the primitive wooden panel and the soft curtain, that works as a divider between the bathroom and the rest of the house, make a wonderful combination. Love the open plan, but see the convenience to pull for now and then to achieve some privacy. Images via Architect-cafe, (the architects of the project), found via Dornob.
