The Lake Tahoe Cabins is comprised of three discrete structures that traverse the rugged and complex Crystal Bay shoreline.  Each cabin is strategically arranged around the site’s elemental intricacies with distinct connections to the Tahoe landscape and lakefront below.   ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE The individual structures are linked by a glazed bridge whose footprint kinks precisely around a mass of prehistoric Sierra granite.  The unique arrangement of cabins creates recreational alcoves before approaching the lake.   ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE On the second level, the great room and kitchen expand the en...

Dieses maßgeschneiderte Haus ist eine Manifestation des Lebensstils, der Reisen und der Sammlungen des Kunden. Das Haus modernisiert die Bungalows aus der Nachkriegszeit in der Nachbarschaft von Kerrisdale und die unzureichende Nachbildung eines Hauses im Craftsman-Stil. Verkleidet mit einem raffiniert schwarz gebeizten Holz, das dem Winkel der gestapelten Giebel folgt, liegt das Haus ruhig in einer Vorstadtstraße mit alten Ahornbäumen im Westen von Vancouver. Jesse Laver Die Innenräume sind so gestaltet, dass sie zum Unterhalten einladen - ein ungehinderter Wohnbereich, der zu einer überdachten Terrasse auf den hinteren Hof führt, der durch eine Garage für drei Autos zur Straße hin verankert...

This guest house and artist's studio in a secluded site in the Hamptons was designed in a primitive Italianate style inspired by the paintings of Giotto.  Situated around a central courtyard, the L-shaped building culminates in a tower that offers a viewing promontory from its hilltop location.  The earth-toned stucco façade provides a vibrant backdrop for the verdant setting, which extends to the house with potted plants and flower-beds. Michael Moran Michael Moran In contrast to the exterior’s exuberant palette, the interior exudes a cool modern calm perfect for showcasing the owner’s artwork and furnishings. One wing is devoted to the owner's art studio - a large open space illuminated by diffused... Mehr

Die Red Barn befindet sich auf einem Anwesen an der Küste von Connecticut und bietet Platz für einen Künstler im ersten Stock (ein Atelier und eine Werkstatt) sowie moderne Wohnräume im zweiten Stock (ein Schlafzimmer, ein Bad, ein Wohn- und Essbereich). Die programmatische Flexibilität ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Entwurfs der Scheune, da der erste Stock in hohem Maße rekonfigurierbar ist. In krassem Kontrapunkt zum Traditionalismus des Gutshofes beherbergt das Gebäude seine Funktionen in minimalistischer, grafischer Effizienz, da es eine übliche Gebäudeform Neuenglands neu interpretiert. Ein durchgehender Regenschutz umschließt das gesamte Profil der Wohnung und geht nahtlos in eine... Mehr

The developer purchased the urban lot in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood with an existing single family home in disrepair. The intent was to build a new contemporary house that fit within the existing footprint, and also fit into the neighborhood vernacular.The new design aimed to push the boundaries by using different shapes on the upper floors to maximize space and create a contemporary feel, while a classic gabled roof and box shape helped the home blend with the surrounding architecture. A large slider and porch on the front facade established a connection with the street and community without sacrificing privacy. The modern spin on a classic silhouette makes the home feel approachable despite the additional square footage. Mehr

This project is conceived as a series of concrete retaining walls and escarpments that traverse and cascade down a steeply sloped site. The building strategy is to deploy a series of straight walls that act as “jetties” into the landscape and respond as a counterforce to the topography. Hovering above and anchored to these concrete site walls is the “House” proper, a “primitive” conceived and constructed as a series of smooth extruded volumes of differing lengths. Symbolically and strategically, the first of these “boxes” presents a gable-front facade to the street and helps conceal the scale of the overall house beyond. The second container-box rotates 90 degrees and runs parallel to the street and site walls. The perpendicular orientation... Mehr

As the requirement of the owner, an aged apartment on Sukhumvit 23 road, in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand, has been renovated into a seven-storey hotel named ‘TwoThree Hotel’. The small dimensions of the apartment rooms and their windows were found to be the major issue in the existing building since this resulted in the uncomfortable rooms with insufficient daylight.To improve the existing deficient spaces, the architect decided to expand the room sizes and openings simultaneously to generate larger, brighter and more functional hotel rooms. In doing so, each former unused balcony is now playing a new role as an interior daybed corner.However, there are also constraints in the small land area and building regulation as the distances betwe...

Located on four acres of rolling hills in a suburban development, this single-family residence draws on the conventional construction methods of its McMansion neighbors, but focuses on reductive material use and detailing to elevate the living experience. The program is arranged as four gabled forms enclosing a small courtyard with pool for this young, active family. Sited in a suburban development at the high point of a hay field, the house recalls the simple agricultural forms of the region, but it is executed with finely crafted details that belie its conventional origins. Two grades of cedar siding are used to clad the house and express its formal origins. Knotty, horizontal siding clads the exterior with a dark stain to conceal the ine... Mehr
