The FUTRHOMES QUANTUM

The FUTRHOMES QUANTUM is the realization of a 10-year pursuit, to offer the fabled "home of tomorrow" to prospective buyers, at a market price.

AK MEDIA, LLC AK MEDIA, LLC AK MEDIA, LLC FUTRHOMES, LLC was just an idea in 2014 that was birthed when the owner, Vincent Black, saw a magnificent modern home online that captured the imagination and sparked the quest to understand how this magnificent house (The Burlingame Residence by Toby Long Designs) could be constructed as a modular home.

HOUSE BUKOROVIC

On an almost flat plot, we designed a villa for the client and his family, with one of their main requests being ample natural light and a seamless connection between the ground floor and the outdoor amenities. The shape of the villa is conceived as a massive rectangular block, wrapped in a band made up of walls and slabs. This band forms an envelope around the villa's core, serving multiple functions: creating terraces, overhanging roof sections for protection against overheating and rainfall, and brise-soleils to shield from direct sunlight. By Bionique The material choice for these elements, natural stone, plays a key role in creating a sense of stability and solidity for the villa. The southern facade is accentuated by movable an...

LAKE TAHOE | LAKEFRONT

The dramatic site largely informed the design of this residence. Early explorations of a serpentine architecture threading through large, slumbering boulders and towering evergreen trees resulted in a design which cascades the site, negotiating the sectional character of the lot, leading to the water’s edge. Rather than altering the site by removing seemingly cumbersome boulders, the design worked with it – integrating its unique character and intricacies, creating moments for its residents and visitors.  JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER JOE FLETCHER The material and color palette of the design was equally inspired by the site’s inherent beauty. The residence is set on a ru... Mehr

MANHATTAN BEACH | RESIDENCE

The concept for this home originated from a desire to generate a timeless balance between the vernacular of mid-century California beach architecture and contemporary sensibilities towards sustainable materials, function, vistas and natural light.

Artist Residence

Designed for an artist and an engineer, the residence is located mid-block in a downtown neighborhood surrounded by common Seattle cottages and bungalows.

After-School Care Centre Waldorf School

Das Schulgelände der Freien Waldorfschule am Prenzlauer Berg nimmt eine besondere städtebauliche Insellage zwischen sozialistischer Plattenbauweise, gründerzeitlichen Blockrandstrukturen und den Grünanlagen des Jüdischen Friedhofes ein. Das inzwischen energetisch sanierte Bestandsschulhaus ist ein 5-geschossiger Plattenbau der 70er Jahre. Dem Bedürfnis der wachsenden Schulgemeinschaft folgend schrieb die Schule einen Wettbewerb für einen Hortneubau sowie Ideen fürspätere Erweiterungsbauten aus.Der gewählte Formenkanon setzt sich bewusst von der Formensprache der Bestandsgebäude ab und ergänzt sie um ein lebendiges Moment. Der Hortneubau dockt hofseitig an das Schulhaus an und streckt sich gleich einer Gliederkette aus wabenförm... Mehr
