Icarus XIV - Little House Project

Icarus Little House Project - a bit of an experiment with an
aggressive angular facade.   

Icarus Birdhaus

Icarus Birdhaus - street view

Icarus Birdhaus is a condominium building, with each floor designed by the individual owner.  The result is an adventurous facade..

This is a view of the penthouse unit... a Triplex. 

Icarus Grand (XIII)

Welcome to the Icarus Grand, a 16 story office tower, which replaces Icarus III - quietly retired to the land of designs that lost their luster.

Icarus Grand - corner view showing south and
west facades.  Notice the staggered window treatment.

Like Icarus III, the Grand has an outside patio space
located high above the noise of the city streets... 

This is a view of the elevator tower, used
to transport electrical wires from one floor to the next.
It is hollow throughout.   The elevator tower
also services to deliver stability to the building. 

Icarus Habitat

Icarus Habitat, a beach house project.. 

Icarus Habitat - an apartment block.  Built in mini-scale.. 

Icarus XII

Icarus XII - or Icarus Crystal as I prefer, uses a new window
element to create an exterior which approximates the
"all glass" structures often seen in modern high rise construction.

Lighting test.

View of Icarus Crystal under construction.  Notice
the structure which is free standing, and can
remain entirely erect without any window or
brick skinning.

Icarus Crystal - front facade.

Icarus XI

A variation on the original Icarus Pavilion, this
project reaches for new shapes using the standard
square window components.  

The slanted window panels were changed to
a horizontal position to follow the orientation
of the other windows.
