East Van House By Splyce Design 2 Asymmetric House In Canada Flaunts Surprising Design Solutions For Modern Living Architecture Splyce Design East Van House Asymmetric House

Beautifully integrated into the neighborhood while still managing to turn heads, this contemporary asymmetric house seems guarded by two trees at the entrance. Cladded in cedar, the home showcasing a sloped roof shelters the daily live of a single professional. Tailored by Canadian studio Splyce Design to the needs and desires of its owner, the home rises three stories in the air under a sloped roof design guided by the staircase placement. Known as the East Van House, the playful geometry of the house refreshes the appeal of the street it occupies.
Do you remember the Russet Residenceon a steep slope of land in West Vancouver? It’s part of the same architectural studio’s portfolio and extends the same invitation to enjoy contemporary design, this time as an asymmetric addition to a suburban neighborhood. The main entrance leads to an open-plan kitchen and dining area at the back of the house, plus the living room and terrace beyond, all facing south and attracting natural light.
Down in the basement, the garage, utility room and wine room are accompanied by a guest bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, the master suite unfolds to surprise you with a west-facing roof light that frames views of the sky and trees from the bed. There’s also a study here and it might seem simple, but it’s the perfect place to relax after a hard day’s work. The dressing area and small terrace beyond completes the picture-perfect home. Don’t you just love it?

An example of a huge success is Heneghan Peng Architects’ Giant’s Causeway Visitors’ Centre in Antrim, Northern Ireland. Using the large difference in level across the site, the architects created two folds in the landscape. Bold, but not conflicting with the rather bleak natural environment, these folds draw all the man-made areas together and create one fitting man-made break in the natural landscape. In the words of the architects themselves, There is no longer a building and a landscape, but building becomes landscape and the landscape itself remains spectacular and iconic

The best architects can create designs which will give clients and the public things they didn’t even realise they wanted, and this is especially important when architects are given the difficult brief of creating structures in much-loved, iconic areas.
