The project of this house called Topo House waswas awarded the RADA Prize, which is presented for achievements in the field of architecture and design of residential buildings. The award was given not only for the uniqueness of the building, but also for the amazing combination of the landscape and the house itself. The architects Brian Johnson and Sebastian Schmaling, founders of Johnsen Schmaling Architects, were responsible for the development of the project. This work of theirs, like many others, is a conceptually rigorous, functionally perfect and aesthetically attractive idea.
Topo House built in Wisconsin(USA), in a place surrounded by hills and ravines. The beauty of nature is reflected in innovative design and the use of the most modern technologies in the construction process. Greenery and open spaces create a sense of peace, and the building fully adheres to these principles, organically fitting into the landscape of the area. The building is buried in the hill, and the copper roof and wavy walls of anodized aluminum neatly flow into a canopy over the southern facade.
The total area of the house is about 300 square meters.meters, it is divided into two sections. All the rooms are located on different levels and are connected to each other. At the same time, there are no problems in getting to the observation deck. The walls continue in such a way that they form three cozy courtyards protected from the wind, and the huge windows give maximum light. The floors are made of wood, the furniture is made of natural materials, the kitchen has a marble countertop and Grohe faucets, which fit perfectly into the style of the interior. Modern, functional and truly original.
