Endorfine Office, a Slovakian architecture studio, designed 3x3 Family Houses with an interesting quirk. The residence, which is on a single property, consists of two housing units that are virtually identical in terms of form. However, those buildings look entirely different from one another, because their layout is flipped: both have a series of connected cubes, but one stands vertically while the other lies horizontally.
The shape of the homes features three cubes which are offset from one another. For the bungalow unit, this provides a variable space that's more interesting to move through than with a standard rectangular form. For the three-storey unit, this shape leaves space for a balcony to extend from the third floor, using the roof of the second floor as a built-in support.
Inverted Home Pairs
Endorfine Office's Home Design is Flipped for Two Different Volumes
Trend Themes
1. Inverted Home Design - Creating visually and functionally unique homes by flipping traditional layouts.
2. Variable Space Housing - Designing housing units with an offset cube structure to create unique and dynamic living spaces.
3. Built-in Balcony Support - Using the roof of the second floor to create a balcony extension for three-story housing units.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Innovative home designs can offer unique selling points in a competitive real estate market.
2. Architecture and Design - Flipping traditional housing layouts can offer new and creative approaches to modern design.
3. Construction Materials - Creating offset cube structures and built-in balcony supports may require new and innovative construction materials and techniques.
