Inside an Innovative Futuristic House that Resembles a Spaceship (House Tour)
Working within the existing footprint of a round home, Feldman Architecture reimagines a disjointed circular structure into an innovative futuristic house. By connecting the residence to its lush surroundings and opening up spaces, the possibilities of an ocular form are realised.
Nestled within the picturesque San Francisco hills, Feldman Architecture renovates an introverted round structure into an innovative futuristic house that thrives in its distinctive shape, location and views. Integral to the building’s remodelling is reworking the internal spaces to make them more functional and connected to the outdoors. The edge of the house wings out towards views of the landscape and it is also anchored to the land on the west side.
To make the most of its unique position, the garage was expanded to act as a base for the house and the stairwell was moved so that it takes you directly to the upper level. Upon entering, you see a framed view of the kitchen and then immediately turn into the open plan living. Here, there is a living and dining with tall ceilings, which open out to cascading views. Suddenly, there is a blurring of the indoors and outdoors, typical of Californian architecture.
The rooms within the home follow an organic theme reminiscent of the structure’s circular shape. The rigid flow of the old house has been transformed – the innovative futuristic house welcomes a nice sense of symmetry in the redesign of the kitchen and skylight as an oculus hub in the centre of the home. This skylight functions like a sundial and moves about at different points in time, reflecting a constant interplay with light.
A thoughtful selection of materials are chosen to soften the powerful geometry of the home. In terms of finishes and materiality, the residence is very minimalist. Dark charred woods help the building blend into the landscape. Concrete is used as the base of the home to connect it further to the landscape and is complemented by curved walls to really ground this building on its site. Walnut is used for all the floors and casework, which works to keep the innovative futuristic house from feeling cold or sterile.
Round House is an example of how a renovation can remain true to the original concept and unique design of a home while still elevating it to become an innovative futuristic house. Looking at the residence through a new lens endowed with a deeper understanding of technology and industry has resulted in a striking transformation and offers an exciting glimpse into what the future holds.
