Slide is centrepiece of Walker house renovation by Reflect Architecture

The slide was designed by Reflect Architecture to animate the lower-level so that it did "not feel like a basement" and to also help bring in natural light via the large opening that it required.

Inside is an expansive living area illuminated by two large square windows that have been made in Wall House's front elevation. Sunlight also filters in from the home's glass roof. A black-metal staircase with a wire-frame balustrade leads to the first level of the home. The bedrooms here and those at ground level are arranged around a void that extends up through both floors.

Kientruc O carves big lightwell into Vietnamese house

A big elliptical chunk is missing from the middle of this house in Vietnam, which was renovated by Ho Chi Minh City-based architecture studio Kientruc O.

To create the void, the architects added a roof above the front yard with a large curved opening at one side. The well runs along the front wall of the old existing brick house, which was removed and replaced with curved glazing to offer views into the space.
