Completed by studio Maziar Behrooz Architecture, the Arc House was designed for a couple and their two dogs. Its industrial appearance is a result of adapting the residence to its site, located under a flight path of the local airport and close to a train track. The architects considered this fact and accentuated it in house’s exterior by making it looks like an airplane hangar. While the arch contains the living, dining and kitchen areas in an open plan, the rest of the house situated in the lower volume accommodates an office, a sitting room, a garage and work out areas. The materials for the house were selected with energy saving in mind, making the power consumption of this house much lower than of the typical house of this size.
