R-House by Della Valle Bernheimer & Architecture Research Office
 |
R-House was created in full collaboration by Della Valle Bernheimer and Architecture Research Office.The prototype residence that our two design firms envisioned for Syracuse, New York, was a winner of Syracuse University’s “From the Ground Up” competition, held in conjunction with the Syracuse Center of Excellence and Home Headquarters as part of their initiative to revitalize the Near Westside neighborhood of Syracuse.
R-House presents an affordable, innovative paradigm for minimal to net-zero energy consumption embodied in architecture that is meant to nurture the spirit and engage the community as much as it is meant to perform in terms of cost and sustainability. Wrapped within its iconic exterior are expansive and luminous spaces that require only the equivalent energy of a hair dryer for heating.
This efficient plan can be tailored to meet the needs of different families and is readily adaptable as these needs change over time. Designed for high economic and practical performance, R-House strengthens the physical and social structure of the Westside neighborhood.

Hi I love the R house design,( Not certain how many it would accomadate.)
I like the combination, of the seemingly opposing. of openess, and privacy , solidity, and containment. The economy of its small footprint.
Cheers Bella.
