Green Facade Unique Design House in Austria
The exterior stairs are at impossible angles, the walls are AstroTurfed, and the window frames are put on top of other window frames. Although it appears to be a surrealist art work, this quiet Austrian village of Laufnitzdorf is actually home to a farmer and his family.
Albert Ortis and Reinhold Weichlbauer, a Frohnleiten-based architectural duo with an unconventional design philosophy they refer to as “freestyle planning,” are the creators of The Green House.
The basement, ground level, and first floor of this unique house design are all divided into concrete boxes, and the entry is situated adjacent to the lower-level carport. Apart from a glass door at the top of a conventional staircase that looks out over a steep drop, the interior of this unique home architecture is a vision of domestic joy, with light, spacious rooms that can fit a family of five. According to Ortis, “the home is still a part of the farm.” They are working with sheep, cattle, and other animals there. The striking house blends in with its lush surroundings thanks to its AstroTurf coating, which functions as camouflage. But there’s no news yet on what the goats think of those staircases that lead nowhere.

Interesting unique home architecture in Sydney by Innovarchi
This house has an extraordinary ox blood red paint job. The front rooms are original in terms of shape and decoration, but they are once again distinguished by vibrant colors.
Exuberant folds of superbly crafted copper cover the entire rear wing. It offers a dining area, a kitchen, a laundry room, a study, and a storage shed altogether. The study/guest room is an additional space supplied, and the extension replaces a number of earlier, more impromptu constructions that served similar purposes. However, instead of being distant, untidy afterthoughts that ate into the garden in the past, these additions now meld together to form a wide north and east-facing deck and a folding, twisting southern boundary “wall.”
Visually, the garden of this house goes past the block’s boundary fences

Contemporary unique design house located in Stockholm, Sweden
The low-slung summer house’s distinctively Swedish design invites residents to take advantage of Scandinavia’s lengthy summer nights. The building approach was created to be relatively straightforward and logical due to the challenges of getting to the construction site.
A completely maintenance-free facade was made by letting the untreated pine panel air and mature naturally. The pine has been left unfinished both inside and out in the traditional Scandinavian manner of embracing the variations brought about by the natural aging of wood.

Contemporary house is located in Lima, Peru
2,786 square feet (258.9 square meters) of contemporary architecture make up the residence. The primary determinant of this beautiful house’s design and shape was that it had to be constructed on a longitudinal plot. The majority of the rooms of this unique design house face the pool, the street, or the homes next door because of the property’s positioning and orientation. Building it on this plot proved to be difficult. However, the designers were able to create a plan that makes use of the area. A contemporary two-story home with a total living area of 258.90 square meters was the end result. The floor space on each level is different.

Existing vegetation was conserved so that you could see the faces and relationships of the existing trees when you opened the windows.

Five distinct rectangular volumes make up the structure of this unique home architecture, which are joined together by glass curtain walls. The proportions of the volumes adhere to this dimensioning because the building has a grid structure with a dimensioning of 60 cm x 60 cm. Aqua panels, which are cement-based materials wrapped in glass fiber mesh, are used to construct these volumes. Orange plastic paint, which was used to color the aqua panels, does not fade away even when exposed to strong summer sun. The volumes’ inside and exterior walls are both painted orange. As a result, the interior rooms maintain the orange color of the exterior façade.

This modern home’s interior and exterior are seamlessly connected thanks to the use of a limited material palette throughout.
