Brininstool + Lynch Architects' Claremont House at DeZona, "a non-traditional house on a typical lot on the north side of Chicago." One of 14 picks this week. More after the jump.

This week's picks:

+ Brininstool + Lynch Architects' Claremont House at DeZona, "a non-traditional house on a typical lot on the north side of Chicago. The house further resists city conventions by uniting the front yard with the back with visual transparency, where sheets of glass more than ten feet high and fourteen feet wide terminate an open plan of sixty-three feet in length on the first floor."

+ LOHA Architects' Habitat 825 at Arch Daily, "Internally, units are organized around light wells that filter light down into the dwelling units from roof gardens above."

+ Carlos Castanheira & Clara Bastai's Casa Adpropeixe at Arch Daily, "The house, or habitable volume, is elevated over the ground by 52 timber pillars that form an ordering and constructive network."

+ American Institute of Architects Housing Award Winners, 10 houses at Arch Daily, "For this year, many houses incorporate eco-friendly ideas, like solar panels, radiant heating and 'daylighting'". Via WSJ.

+ Paul Raff Studio's Cascade house at Materialicious, "The two-storey tall window facing south allows the low winter sun to warm the house. This stone wall absorbs the sun's heat to keep the house warm at night, while its smaller apertures dapple to the rooms beyond with light."

+ Atelier Tekuto's Branching Coral House at Below The Clouds.

+ Eggleston Farkas Architects' Methow Cabin at Trendir, "a small retreat serving as a base for cross-country skiing and mountain biking".

+ shakanayarchitect's Shelf-pod at What We Do Is Secret, a "contemporary take on a Japanese house."

+ Staufer & Hasler Architectes at Les carnets du design.

+ Shimizu Atelier's House in Narashinodai at architecturephoto.net.

+ Tomoaki Uno's House in Ryusenji at architecturephoto.net.

+ FORM | Kouichi Kimura Architects' House of interplay at architecturephoto.net.

+ Flo Florian and Sascha Akkermann's Silberfisch SchwimmHausBoot is now built. Via Contemporist.

+ Bernardo Urquieta's 1902 Victorian house remodel at Remodelista, "the project looks remarkably fresh and modern 20 years later."
