 Villa Design for an Architecture

Who is Architectural engineering? 

Architectural engineering is the application of engineering principles

and technology to building design and construction.
Architectural engineers work together with architects and civil
engineers but are unique in both their skills and role as part of the
building design team

Famous architects and it works:

Frank Lloyd Wright

A Wisconsin native, Wright revolutionize 20th-century architect, and his

midwestern upbringing played a crucial role in shaping his sensibility.

Inspired by the low-lying building that dotted the American plains, Wright
created the Prairie House style as a reaction the prevailing Victorian aesthetic,
which emphasized dark decor, and busy embellishments both inside and out.

In its stead, Wright employed clean geometries with an emphasis on horizontal

planes. His most famous building, Falling Water (a residence in Bear Run, PA,
designed for Pittsburg department store magnate, Edgar Kaufmann in 1935)
features stacked rectangular balconies that seem to float over the natural
waterfall incorporated into the house.

Later in his career, Wright would embrace curvilinear elements, a shift that
found its most celebrated expression in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Zaha Hadid

One of the few women to have risen to the level of starchitect—and the first
ever to win architecture’s version of the Oscar, the Pritzker Prize—Zaha Hadid
(1950–2016) was known for futuristic designs that employed curving, swooping
lines more suitable for UFOs than buildings.

Born into a wealthy Iraqi family in Bagdad and educated in the U.K. (where the
Queen would later make her a Dame, the feminine form of address for
knighthood) Hadid threw out the rule-book, eschewing the linear geometry
usually employed by architects for an Expressionistic style that often appeared
to allude to the female form—though not intentionally, according the Hadid
herself: When her design for a stadium in Qatar was compared to a vagina, she
dismissed the comment as “embarrassing” and “ridiculous.” Though she built
extensively around the world, she has only on completed project—a luxury
condo in Chelsea—in New York City

A Villa example an architecture designed for itself
Living:

Villa S, Bergen, Norway by Todd Saunders

Chelsea—in The blackened timber home of Bergen-based architect Todd Saunders is lifted
above the ground on two podiums, sheltering a patch of garden and a swing set beneath the
living room .

Todd Saunders, founder of Saunders Architecture created Villa S as a home for himself and
his family in a disused park on the edge of a residential neighbourhood in Bergen, a city on
the west coast of Norway.

"When you have a client you usually have a bit of resistance, or a soundboard to throw your
ideas against," Saunders told Dezeen. "But when you're designing your own house the only
discussions are in your head so it gets really schizophrenic sometimes."

"I talked to my kids quite a bit," he added. "They were three and five years old so they
wanted swings – that was one of the nicest parts of the house, swings hanging under the
house."

7
A horizontal volume raised on two legs protects a patio under the base of the house,
providing a rainy-day play area for the two young children. Swings are strung from the
underside of the volume, which contains the primary living space as well as a master
suite and two children's bedrooms.

Two podiums that support this long block contain storage spaces for sporting equipment, a
TV room and staircases, while a reading room is located in a small block that protrudes from
the roof.

"The whole house is lifted off the ground because you get a much better view when you get
up higher and by lifting the house suddenly you have 150-square-metre outdoor space that is
free – it's like a large outdoor room created by moving the house up in the air," said Saunders.

The master bedroom and adjoining balcony are positioned at one end of the open-plan living
and dining area, which leads to the children's bedrooms. A small window in one of these
rooms looks directly into the kitchen, a peculiar request from the architect's young daughter.

9
"My oldest daughter had this strange request that she wanted to see the kitchen from her
bedroom so we have this one window from her room so that she can look through the
window of the kitchen," Saunders explained.

The pale timber and white-tiled interior spaces were designed by Swedish artist Hannes
Wingate, who previously worked with Chicago architects Studio Gang. "He has really good
taste," said Saunders. "That made the process quite pleasurable."

10
A reading room occupies a outcrop in the roof, which has access to terraces on either side.
This area is clad in black-stained spruce, matching the building's other facades.

"Both my wife and I read a lot – the kids do as well – so we wanted a room just dedicated to
books. That was probably the one thing that was the difference between a want and a need,"
said the architect. "We didn't really need that piece like you need a kitchen and a bathroom,
but this library was a piece of luxury that was like a gift to ourselves."

11
Saunders said he referred to the work of local architect Leif Grung, who built approximately
45 timber houses in the area between 1935 and 1945, when coming up for the design for his
home.

"It was kind of like a relay race – I took over the pin from him," said the architect. "I was the
first person to make a new house in the area for about seventy years. I kind of borrowed ideas
from him but integrated stuff that I've learned from living here for 17 years."

12
"It's like a new addition to contemporary Scandinavian architecture – a new chapter of what I
think architecture on the west coast of Norway should be like," he said.
