In the city of Cape Town, within the Western Cape province of South Africa, a masterfully designed estate is tucked into the hillside. Designed to be a sanctuary of Architecture and Nature, the residence becomes a part of its natural environment seeking to blur the lines of where the home ends and the wilderness begins. Expansive green roofs with local native vegetation, provide views of the natural environment from most interior spaces. A cantilevered reflection pond extends off of one level of the home and offers expansive views of the forested region. The pond also works to increase biodiversity in the immediate region, while supporting aquatic vegetation that filter and clean the water. Green roofs act as an insulator for the interior spaces, helping to regulate temperatures yearround. The home is a stunning example of creative and thoughtful design, that puts the natural environment at the forefront of its conceptualization.

🏠 Size does not always matter: 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮? Bregenz, the capital of the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, is home to a unique architectural construction known as the "smallest house in Europe". At its narrowest point, this remarkable building measures just 57 centimetres! Built in the 18th century, the house originally served as a passageway between the streets of Kirchstraße and Römerstraße. It was later closed and used as a residence before being used for various other purposes, including as a shop. With its three storeys and traditional pitched roof, it is a good example of efficient use of space and medieval town planning. While the facade facing Kirchstraße is extremely narrow, the building widens towards the rear, reaching a width of around four metres at the back. Today, the charming structure is a listed building and a popular tourist attraction. The house adds a touch of nostalgia to the streets of Bregenz and demonstrates Austria's rich architectural heritage. A stroll through Kirchstraße is like travelling back in time. This tiny house reminds us that size does not always equate to grandeur, proving that even the smallest spaces can capture significant attention. #advantageaustria #didyouknow #smallesthouse #architecture

Ode to Villa Savoye Built in 1931, the Villa Savoye is the most famous building by the visionary architect Le Corbusier. A testament to modern architecture, it was a groundbreaking work that still spreads its influence almost a hundred years later. Anyone who have studied modern architecture must be familiar with Le Corbusier’s 5 points of architecture: pilotis, roof garden, open plan, ribbon windows, free design of the facade. But to walk through the gardens, into this house - what he calls a “machine for living”, and back into nature, one could finally appreciate the meticulous yet deeply human nature of the master’s design. A series of continuous rooms, the progression of the spaces is as cinematic as can get. The interplay of planes and volumes, the freeing spatial connections thanks to the open plan design, and the rhythmic interplay of light through the skylights and windows, one could finally appreciate the humanity in Le Corbusier’s design. His innovation to architecture, through the construction of slender columns and open floor plans, enables his vision of blurring the boundaries of inside and outside to become an actuality. His use of reinforced concrete, an innovation at the time, is still relevant in the modern world. Villa Savoye is beyond a machine for living. It is a vessel for creating moments, embracing life, and connecting one with nature. It was a deeply humbling experience and a timeless inspiration for our future designs. #villasavoye #modernarchitecture #lecorbusier #billsinspirations

When greenery blends with wood, stone, and metal, facades become more than just walls—they transform into living, dynamic works of art. Combining vibrant plants with natural materials, the facade designs add a layered aesthetic and promote a sustainable, eco-friendly approach to modern architecture. #FacadeDesign #MixedMaterials #GreenArchitecture #SustainableDesign #UrbanDesign
