Architectural Digest tours the 75.9 House in the Vancouver countryside with architect Omer Arbel, who devised a tent-like fabric formwork for the house's lily pad-shaped columns, in its latest “Unique Spaces” video.
Omer Arbel's 75.9 House — so named because it is the 9th iteration of the 75th idea in the architect's studio — is a bit of a hybrid entity: A series of wood boxes align it with other modern dwellings this century, but the outdoor rooms formed by concrete walls and landscaping traversing the roofs make it at home alongside earth-sheltered houses from the 1970s. Of course, the house's raison d'être are the billowing concrete columns in the shape of lily pads — a brutalist version of Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax Building.
Watch the 14-minute Architectural Digest video to hear Arbel speak about how the 75.9 House was designed and built, and to see the different parts of the house's interior and exterior spaces:
