Is that houses in a landscape, or interior design????

Sustainable design of houses. The assignments for this subject are all about making a brief for your own housing project, and this week I am trying to find some examples of designs I like. There is a subject I will do next year that focuses on landcape as well.

I think I've found my examples now:

This one for "quality" (as in quality of light etc, not quality of the building work itself)

Garden Tower House

Image: A garden alcove in the house brings light and relaxing views inside the house, with a corridor opposite the alcove providing a day bed with space to relax.

This one for "functional"

Bellvue Terrace

This space is designed to both connect the inside to the back yard, and also provides a multitude of sliding doors and shutters to enable it to be varied for different times of day and different seasons.

Fascinating. Both seem to have a very japanese feel to them, while being quite different. This sounds like a very interesting assignment.

The bellvue terrace is a huge no from me. I wouldn't survive those steps after a few.

I'd definitely be avoiding the steps for myself too, but the space above it looks pretty good.
