KARIM RACHID’S DISK HOUSE

Legendary designer Karim Rachid has designed his dream home, dubbed disk house, this singular column structure looks like a futuristic, secluded fairy tale. The central column not only creates the overall support but also runs all electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and technology, while privately housing the bathroom downstairs.

 “Locked down in NYC made me fantasize about building myself a futuristic yet economical house in the country with 360 degree views and this is the result’.

INSPIRATIONS OF ANGLED SOPHISTICATION

We are totally crushing on this architectural masterpiece in Morelia, Mexico. Its construction involved the architectural challenge of integrating the house harmoniously into a complex natural environment – mountains of solid rock. In order to achieve this, two levels were constructed on stone while the third is suspended on a wall-column. The visual result simulates suspension as if the house were floating on air.
