Neil M. Denari Architects: U+A House

One serious problem with housing [especially the suburbs] is sprawl - or, simply put, the fact that we’re taking up an ever increasing footprint on the land. Not only is this an issue because of lack of space [Earth is plenty big, but we will run out of land, my ninjas], but it’s also forming a disconnect between people [you live in a house, on your property, drive to work alone in a car passing everyone/thing at 40mph, work, then go back to your personal space] as the population spreads.

One answer? Build vertically. This solution has already been presented in our cities, as we see everyday in skyscrapers and highrises - but what about on a smaller scale? Enter the U+A House, a mini-highrise designed by Neil M. Denari Architects for Useful and Agreeable [U+A].

consider the desirability and precision engineering of great car design; the exploration and challenge of contemporary art; and the bold expressiveness of avant-garde fashion. where are the architectural equivalents?

useful + agreeable offers one option in this regard, the opportunity to purchase a pre-designed house by world-renowned architect, neil m. denari.

the u+a house is a flexible, universal product, designed for a variety of contexts and climates around the world, including: small-lot or cluster housing, remote vacation property and rooftop penthouses among other possibilities [via U+A].

The 10 Best (New and Upcoming) Architectural Marvels

＃1 Bloch Building, Nelson-Atkins

Museum of Art addition, Kansas City, Mo.

Steven Holl Architects

Adding a new wing to a neoclassical museum, Holl devised a spectacular update on classicism: an irregular series of volumes that cascade down the museum's lawn and glow from within. The effect against the nighttime sky is nothing short of magical.

#2 | Federal Building, San Francisco Morphosis

This government office building is not only a smashing addition to the skyline, it's also green to the core. For one thing, its steel-mesh scrim is both a sunscreen and a design element that steps in sharp accordion folds at plaza level. A cutting-edge building, in all ways.

#3 | Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle Weiss/Manfredi

The Seattle Art Museum decided to put its sculpture park on an old industrial site crossed by a busy road and a railway line. Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi made the most of it with an intricate switchback pathway that draws nature, art and the city into a dynamic force field.

#4 | IAC Headquarters, New York Frank Gehry Partners

Gehry's exuberant building is an undulating, white glass mesa that uses his characteristic whiplashing lines in a subdued and legible way. The sculptural silhouette is actually a clear expression of the interior floor plates. They just happen to be madly inventive floor plates.

#5 | The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York Sanaa

The New Museum is on the Bowery, a grimy but gentrifying stretch of lower Manhattan. So Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa gave it a home that's part funky, part shimmery, an asymmetrical stack of boxes covered by a honeycomb of aluminum.

UPCOMING

#6 | Olympic Stadium, Beijing

Athletes at the Summer Games will compete in a nestlike venue by Herzog & de Meuron.

#7 | CCTV Headquarters, Beijing

A tetrahedronal structure by Rem Koolhaas will be the most radically reimagined tall building in the world.

#8 | Linked Hybrid, Beijing

Steven Holl's retail/ office complex will have sky bridges connecting each of its eight towers.

#9 | Heathrow Five, London

Richard Rogers' firm is giving Heathrow a big new terminal under a vast, column-free arch.

#10 | Caja Madrid Tower, Madrid

Norman Foster's oil-and-gas-company headquarters will have rooftop wind turbines.

Ice Bar

So many people say London has a ice bar is so cool. So i have been to there in Christmas time, Almost everything at the bar is sculpted out of ice.sit on ice benches,drink from ice glasses served from a bar made of ice. and all the ice that creates bar is shipped from the same source, The Torne River in Lapland. Even every ice glass you will drink out of is made from the same River water ice and tested to be cleaner than drinking water! so cold every think is made by ice like wall,(Unbelievable).  And you just sit about 5 minute you will fell the cold get in to your body! but if fun

Bike Dispenser

Leave it to the Dutch  to come up with something so clever, so green, so cool. Basically its like a giant ‘Pez’ dispenser, dishing out bikes on one end and refilling on the other. Apparently it works like this, you pay a small fee in some cities which have free bike programs its free, you get a bike to use at your leisure. Stroll around as much as you want, return it when you wish to any of the neighborhood Bike Dispensers. Don’t feel like returning it, well you can leave it as is, the bikes are tagged with RFID’s; Bike Dispenser owners/operators can then find the free range bikes about the city and return them to their pens. 

City Surfing

Set to open in 2011, this project will be the world’s first outdoor artificial surfing machine - and will be constructed in A discarded dock in East London. The aim of the project, obviously, is to give city dwellers a local place to surf - saving them the trip to the coast.

Proposed by Steve Jones, some crazy ‘adventure sports’ ninja, the wave machine can “be set to make the surf break left and right from a central peak, allowing surfers to ride comfortably without fear of collision - a hazard which plagues the increasingly crowded breaks in Devon and Cornwall. Floodlit surfing and screens highlighting riders’ best moves aim to attract an estimated 100,000 surfers and body-boarders a year, as well as half a million spectators”. My ninjas, please! Sounds like a video game.

As a side note, the project is being backed by David Taylor - who is also building 5,000 new homes in the area, and Biota!, the Terry Farrelldesigned aquarium that will replicate life in the Amazon in a tank the size of 12 Olympic swimming pools
