Camp Smull by Resolution: 4 Architecture
Resolution: 4 creates its designs based on “modules of use” — designed for communal or private spaces. The different kinds of modules can be mixed and matched to achieve a theoretically infinite number of designs, suited to the buyer’s site, budget, and lifestyle. The various combinations are called “typologies.”
Camp Smull blends Resolution: 4’s “three-bar bridge” and “two-bar slip” typologies. The main level is the soul of the home, with the entry, a large outdoor deck, and zones for living, dining, and cooking.

House RR, São Paulo by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos
The RR house in Sao Paulo by the Brazilian Andrade Morettin Arquitetos lies close to the sea in a humid climate surrounded with thick vegetation.
The quasi-industrial feel of the generous 220-square meter house is offset by the towering wall of greenery that surrounds it, and the inside-outside feel of a platform in the jungle is enhanced by the hammocks hung casually on the wooden frame.
A combination of full-height wooden and glass opening screens allow these compartments to become part of the main double-height living area, six meters high, which in turn can be opened up to the outside world. Pre-fabrication kept costs down and speeded up construction and means the entire structure sits lightly on its idyllic site.
