If you think about jigsaw houses you probably picture something made from pieces that can be glued together. What if you don't know where to find the piece? Or if you have an odd-shaped home and want to save energy? This article will introduce you to the concept and explain why it's a good idea. We'll be looking at the "Nakahouse", XTEN Architecture, and the "Jigsaw Residence", both from Tom Henderson's Interlocking Meshed Boxes.

XTEN Architecture's "Nakahouse"

Located in Hollywood, California, Nakahouse is a stunning and striking transformation of a 1960s hillside house. The architects retained the base of the home but reconfigured the interior spaces, adding a rooftop terrace and jacuzzi. Nakahouse has a unique way to combine large spaces in a small area of 1,890 feet. Many architectural publications and exhibitions have featured the innovative design of Nakahouse's modern home.

XTEN Architecture's 'Nakahouse' is situated on a hillside with breathtaking views of the city. The house was designed in a playful combination black and white to create a striking contrast of the exterior and interior. The minimalist design is striking and timeless. It has two master bedrooms as well as an interior and exterior study. There are two large and one small bathrooms.

Tom Henderson's "Jigsaw Residence"

Tom Henderson's Jigsaw Residence was designed to be energy efficient. It has earned an 8-star rating. This is due to a concrete floor which provides thermal mass and a central fireplace made of concrete. The design integrates the living spaces with the gardens, and the north-facing living space enjoys bright, natural light even during the cooler months. The Jigsaw residence is ideal for anyone who lives in the neighborhood or inside the home.
