Cramped Concrete Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

House Vineyard Dieseldorf is Located in an Awkwardly Cramped Plot

— January 7, 2015 — Art & Design
House Vineyard Dieseldorf is a glass-front concrete home, constructed by L3P Architekten, that is situated in an unusual cramped plot in Dielsdorf, Switzerland. This home is a great example of how architects and developers are becoming increasingly canny in fitting homes into seemingly undesirable plots of land.

The house's footprint is just 5 x 9 meters -- in order to make maximum use of available space, the house does away with a conventional front door entrance in favor of a subterranean access through the carport.

The home itself is constructed from reinforced concrete, the use of which allowed the architects to get fairly creative with the design of the home. The home's core supports additional rooms which cantilever away from the core. The interior makes use of exposed concrete, with all the walls, floors and ceilings being uncovered.
Trend Themes
1. Creative Use of Cramped Space - Developers are finding more innovative ways to maximize the use of small or awkward plots of land.
2. Sustainable Concrete Materials - Architects and developers are exploring alternative environmentally-friendly materials for constructing small homes.
3. Hidden Entrances - Subterranean entrances can provide an effective solution for saving space and maximizing small homes.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate Development - Innovative architects and developers are needed to build unique homes on awkwardly shaped and small plots of land.
2. Sustainability - Sustainability experts and architects can collaborate to identify environmentally friendly materials and designs for constructing small homes.
3. Construction Equipment Manufacturing - Manufacturers of specialized construction equipment may develop new machinery and tools to build small homes in restrictive plots of land.
