I think I know why this house is called with lilypad house, maybe because of its shape? This lilypad house by Jorge Hrdina Architects was designed for accommodating easy access for wheel chaired people as well as providing the particular and special living place for suburban area. Maybe if you have ever seen the first Man in Black Movie you will feel familiar with this house. If we see the house from distance, it’s as if we see the UFO monument in that movie. With its unusual structure design, the house surely stands out among the others. It is such a special designed house which is prepared for special purpose.
The house has low wall as well as ceiling and you will also find sun filled garden surrounding the house. The design is simple but of course unusual. Simple because we will not see too complicated design, we will only see simplicity on its design instead. The colors which are chosen are the neutral ones which are earthy brown and bright white. Inside the house, we will find completely wooden flooring with the same color shade as the house’s exterior. The inside wall of the house is clean white.
Like I have mentioned above, the ceiling is low which makes us feel like we are inside the Hobit’s house. This is the house which will give its owners unusual experience in living. So, when you are planning to build your first home and wanting a house with special look as well as structure, this Lilypad house may be the best role model for you. If we see the house from above we may see it as two giant umbrellas standing on the ground. Or maybe you just want to take some of the design to be applied inside your own residence?
