Twisted Geometry: Modern Home Echoes Family’s Growth

Situated like a stack of offset geometric shapes, the Dupli Casa by J. Mayer H. provides a singularly unusual home for a vibrant family just outside of Luxembourg, Germany.

The home, much like the family within it, has grown organically over time. The original home was built in 1984 and underwent many modifications and additions throughout the years.

In August of 2008, the new home was completed. The 12,800 square foot residence blends interior and exterior almost seamlessly with ample access to breathtaking scenic views and huge, clear windows.

Public spaces on the first and third floors are more open to the outdoors via huge windows, while the private spaces on the middle floor are protected by the protruding elevations above and below.

This Hong Kong condo has much to recommend it, but its game-inspired walls are perhaps the most playful part of the overall renovation from OneByNine design studio.

Alerts, booms, error messages and aliens deck out the walls of the bathroom in otherwise-modest black and white – might be a pain if they go to sell someday, but certainly fun for current geeky occupants.

Aside from that, the subdued lines, nice furniture and subtle greenery make for great living and dining spaces influenced by Western Mid-Century Modernism as well as Eastern decorative traditions.
