The Vitra Outlook

The Vitra Outlook, design inspired by one of many architects, Frank Gehry.
With his design of the Vitra Design Museum, two of the main elements were taken from the Museum to design the Vitra Outlook, many styles and shapes were implemented into that museum so therefore experimentation of the combination of styles was of great importance to its contribution of the design.


Situated within the rocky canyons of the desert, the Outlook provides remote and ashtonishing views for the home dweller, the home can mainly be constructed upon rocky cliffs and remote open area locations. With the surrounding environments open desert type area with the ocean just at the bottom of the cliffs, also with the rocky surroundings and harsh look of minor vegetation.
It gives the home owner a sense of persoal space and open type feeling.

The external components to the house itself is made from different type of materials, but all mainly recycable, the wall cladding itself is made from a hardwood timber that treats itself was a type of water-proofing for wet weather, the rubber is used under the wall cladding also used as a water method for no water penetration. The external construction itself is made up in a way where it stands out from the surrounding environment.

Internally as said before, the construction is made up in one storey the east part of the home the bedroom and other amenities while the other the kitchen, family lounge rooms and overlooking outdoor views, the main access to this home is located under the bigger part of the building, under is a outdoor stair case that has been mounted upon a large concrete structure, this is used as a form of support for the main building itself.
The stairs itself is made of an aluminium material that reacts as a non slip material.
The rest of the house itself is all divided up to its allocated sections to provide major sunlight during the winter and minor sunlight during the summer.

Overall the building itself with its contemporary design is something different but in many ways a home that stands out, in relation to the Vitra Design Museum the minor aspects that have been taken from the main building itself has not kept its original shape, but has been extruded and edited in a minor may.
As final the Vitra Outlook offers the modern design that catches attention to the human eye.
