Thomas Heatherwick reveals Zeitz MOCAA art galleries carved out of Cape Town grain silo 

Thomas Heatherwick has created South Africa’s biggest art museum – by hollowing out the inside of a historic grain silo building. Described by the British designer as “the world’s tubiest building”, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, or Zeitz MOCAA, is set to become the world’s most important exhibition space for African art.

Goulding Summerhouse Scott Tallon Walker Architects

Originally designed for Sir Basil Goulding, a great gardener and art collector; He was so concerned about his beautiful gardens along the Dargle Valley that he wanted the new building to take up as little of the garden as possible. The resulting design cantilevered over the river, and is supported on the only rock outcrop available without disturbing the natural vegetation of the river gorge.

Eaves House 

Eaves House by mA-style architects is characterized by the positioning of the eaves and the style of roofing. The space beneath the eaves is the point where the indoor space meets the outdoor space. It is a space that defines where the inside ends and outside begins.

The framework creates a sense of a large, extended vertical space which ensures privacy of the area. The horizontal line extends to the adjoining land, creating a 3D sense of space. The coexistence of open and closed spaces is suitable for both daily living and various activities. The house connects the inhabitants with the environment.

Round Lake Hut

Creative and imaginative work begins in the solitude of the connection of the mind/eye/hand in Round Lake Hut by Steven Holl Architects. This solitary room with a table and a chair is a functional drawing studio. The wood framed, 80 square foot space, sits on four legs at the edge of Round Lake. The north and south elevations are glass in cedar frames. The sides are black tar paper with wooden battens. There is a one-by- four foot window at the floor facing east toward the sunrise. There is no plumbing, no electricity, and no insulation.

Neue Nationalgalerie,  Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1968.

This building has appeared in many films and documentaries, incl: DAVID CHIPPERFIELD: A PLACE TO BE (2015) (Chipperfield oversaw the Gallery’s recent renovation); MIES VAN DER ROHE: ARCHITECTURE AS LANGUAGE (along with several other docos on Mies). It also features prominantly in the (otherwise forgettable) Liam Neeson/January Jones thriller UNKNOWN (2011).

310. Robert Venturi /// Vanna Venturi House (Mother’s House) /// Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA /// 1959-1961

OfHouses presents “Pritzkers’ First Houses, part IV”: Here at OfHouses we avoid publishing well known residential masterpieces (from the league of Farnsworth or Savoye); we see no point in doing that, as others have already published entire books about those works. However, for the sake of the consistency of our Pritzker series, we’re now bending the rules to feature the exceptional Vanna Venturi House - the first house built by Robert Venturi (Pritzker 1991).
