The Hillsborough Residence is a Japanese-inspired/craftsman, heavy-timber house, designed by boutique firm, John Lum Architecture. It was influenced by their client’s love of nature and their desire to build a home in a style that spoke to them. They definitely did not want a cold modern box nor did they want to build a historical revival house so typical of this affluent community. We designed the house using natural materials that clearly express structure while emphasizing the cozy and intimate versus the grand. Although traditional in feeling, the house is a casual house designed for a lifetime of living for this family of five.   Located on a remarkable 2-acre hill-side lot with 180 degree views of the Bay, the 6,000 square foot new ho...

Perugia Way is situated within a quiet cul-de-sac in Hollywood Hills, an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains. Following a legacy of important buildings within the area, this contemporary residence reinterprets the Californian hillside vernacular. The architecture follows the natural topography of the site to provide an elegant yet neutral insertion to the LA landscape. Wrapped in stone, stucco and glass, the residence is afforded exclusive panoramic views of the city.   What was the brief?   The design brief called for a contemporary villa to be designed and built to European standards of style, detail and quality. The speculative development required the highest possible level of finish within... Mais

The design for the former Government Office for Transactions and Telephony will give this historic building a second life by transforming it into a five-star hotel with 176 rooms. Joseph Crouwel originally designed the building in 1925 and was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin building. The building has a robust concrete construction with a monumental brick facade. The project involves restoring the exterior of the building and replacing the façade of the inner court. A new refined glass construction will be added that extends into a panoramic roof structure.   These additions form a complementing yet contrasting intervention in the existing building. The hotel facilities, reception, bar and restaurant, open to t... Mais

Graycliff, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, was built as the summer home of Darwin and Isabelle Martin on a bluff overlooking Lake Erie in the late 1920s. After decades of delayed maintenance and unsympathetic additions, the Graycliff Conservancy was formed in 1997 to purchase the site to save it from demolition. Architect Dirk Schneider of CJS Architects has been involved with Graycliff’s restoration since 1999 assessing preservation needs, overseeing the completion of all exterior phases, and working with colleague Scott Selin on the restoration of the interior of the home, as well as the companion Foster House.  Skilled artisans from Reddin Construction brought Wright’s work back to life, aided by a team of dedicated Gray...

Located in South Williamsburg, just off of the Williamsburg Bridge when one crosses from Manhattan, The Dime is a new, 23-story terracotta and glass building architecturally linked to the landmarked 1908 Dime Savings Bank and designed by Fogarty Finger. With its cohesive design language across its architecture and interiors of its multi-use areas—encompassing offices, retail and rental apartments—the building is an exciting debut, elevating the standards for buildings of similar use in the city.

The owners approached us to design a courtyard home to house their multi-generational family. They would like a house that allowed water and greenery to flow through the house, reminding them of their Peranakan roots. They also asked that the house seeks inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, which they visited once and it left a strong impression on them for its engagement with nature. The site is challenging with its triangular shape, sloping terrain and narrow entrance. To create a feeling of openness, instead of having one large box, the massing of the house was pulled apart by intersecting courtyards, gardens and terraces to allow breezes to flow, as well as provide all the rooms with views and access to gardens. The two m... Mais

Living Nature was a garden pavilion in which all four seasons coexisted with each other at the same time, thanks to an innovative energy management system for climate control. The project, stemming from a concept by CRA and Studio Römer, was developed for Salone del Mobile.Milano 2018 as the main venue in the city and hosted the opening event for Milan Design Week 2018. The 500 square-meter pavilion housed four natural, climatic microcosms that enabled all seasons of the year to unfold at precisely the same time, one next to the other. Visitors were immersed in nature, experiencing its changes through the four different areas – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn – enriched with familiar and domestic concepts.While shaping a recreational spac...

Avantgarde Collection Taksim Square Hotel, designed by Kreatif Mimarlik, is proposed in place of the structurally vulnerable building in the city center to fulfill short-term accommodation needs as a boutique city hotel with its 59 rooms.

The façade is covered with Green Logo certificated self-cleaning materials of Japan Inax Company, which was founded by the partnership of Frank Lloyd Wright in 1924. The faça... Mais
