Evolving House Design - Add and Subtract Live-In Modules As Required. Designers Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro of the Italian Sand and Birch Design Studio have created the OFT house to answer the varying demands of modern lifestyles; the OFT design system is based around a fixed core base that can have live-in modules added to it as your requirements change with time - it even allows for the removal of redundant living space.
So you need a temporary home office, a new room, or need to reduce space instantly (as the in-laws are thinking of downsizing into your home), then the OFT home is a prefect solution. The Italian design team, who are better known for their amazing furniture designs (like the Velvet, Sophie chairs and the Diamond Sofa), have excelled with this architecture project, making the idea of changing your home design as often as you change your wardrobe fashion a functional and futuristic reality.

Relatively inexpensive to build, this house provides a perfect sense of harmony with nature in a functioning family home. The design dissolves traditional barriers between indoors and outdoors and features a glazed south-facing double height space to take advantage of specular views across the valley. A simple cost-effective construction uses warm, natural materials that reflects the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape.

Immediately after their graduation from the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University in Prague, the architects Boris Redcenkov and Prokop Tomasek founded the studio Atelier 69 - architekti in Cheb in 1994. In 1997, a third partner, the architect Jaroslav Wertig joined the team. As part of the completion of the Prague residential complex Villa Park Strahov, the studio expanded its efforts in 2000 to include an office in the capitol and to add new co-workers. In 2003, the original association Atelier 69 - architekti was transformed into the limited-liability firm A69 - architekti, s.r.o.
