Modern home architecture

We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random  arrangements made in some modern architecture.  Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Our Modern on the Prairie has the feel of a classical home with how the forms were arranged but is oh, so modern. We also designed the f... Mais

The Teston House has been owned and occupied for decades by a well-known family in the Toronto area. When FrankFranco was engaged, it had reached the stage where it must transform to suit the needs of multiple generations; to become functional enough to accommodate the next era. Caption The common Pompeii villa inspired the home’s open-air internal courtyard, complete with a skylight. Here the head of the household once grew fig trees, and historically the home was used to entertain often. There was still a desire for it to remain hospitable, but the home needed to be updated from the usability standpoint. FrankFranco considered its uniqueness and vowed to maintain and build upon some of its original elements. As a driver for de... Mais

In the heart of Minnesota, where winters paint the landscape in hues of grey and white for months on end, a modern home challenges the monotony of the season. A sculpture for living, the home rises from the earth like a muted yellow, tapered drum, embracing both grace and boldness in its architectural design.Created for an extended family with an adventurous spirit and unafraid of a vibrant palette, this high-tech residence is a reaction to the cold, desolate winters of Minnesota, a winter refuge against the monotony of the grey and white, often dreary landscape. It is a canvas for color therapy, introducing warm reds, oranges, and yellows that fill the interior through stone and tile, rich wood wall panels, and exotic wood cabinets. Tim... Mais

A casa Summitridge é uma colaboração criativa entre o arquiteto Marc Whipple e Troy Adams da Troy Adams Design, que atuou como gerente de projeto e designer de interiores. Ambos gostaram imensamente do processo e esta casa distinta é certamente a prova de uma parceria de sucesso. Tudo começa com o terreno e a sua orientação para as vistas.

At the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, in the community of Altadena, the existing single family residence is located on a large flat lot. The existing house had no connection to the back yard. The owners, a family of four had outgrown the house and approached LOC to help conceive of an addition that would provide the family with two new bedrooms and bathrooms. Constrained by the location of the existing garage, LOC envisioned a courtyard type house, stitching the new to the old through the introduction of a large deck, providing privacy for the master bedroom at the rear of the house, while taking advantage of the vast rear yard. Molly Haas With the use of handmade tile and smooth stucco, the new building pays homage to the tr... Mais

The Aspen Grove House was created for a couple whose shared passions are skiing, music, reading, feasting, their beloved dog, and the Methow Valley. They wanted something simple and practical, so the interest and delight of the home come through thoughtful details and use of materials. The house provides a backdrop to the couple’s interesting life. Lara Swimmer The house embraces its dramatic location at the toe of Flagg Mountain, enveloped by aspen trees. A 5,000 sf “buildable zone” limited where the house could be placed. A nearby road and popular ski trail made creation of private areas challenging. Lara Swimmer The design began as a 2600 sf, “box” within the buildable area. The first move was to... Mais

Revitalizing a storied structure in a small town, a historic train depot gets a new life as a colorful, dynamic dance studio. Brad Feinknopf In the small upstate New York town of Accord, a 1902 train depot remained a local landmark over the years, despite changing times and uses. The historic structure was one of several nearly identical depots dotted along the local train line, many of which remain today. The Accord Depot had many past lives – as a bed and breakfast, and most recently, a restaurant  as a community arts center, an ice cream shop, and most recently, a brief stint as a restaurant – which meant it endured many numerous incomplete and uninspired renovations over the years, slowly falling into disrepair....

Tons discretos, neutros e linhas limpas definem as fachadas. O edifício consegue se manter por conta própria, enquanto se mistura com a atmosfera circundante. Mais

Pianoforte is a musical term referring to the variations in volume or loudness. Inspired by our clients’ love of all things with keys, the residence interprets the masculine form as ‘loud’ and the play of light as ‘soft’. The site required a strong response to the very active 1st Avenue to the south while transparency and perforations soften the form along Oneida Street. The L-shaped plan addresses the active corner while providing protection to the rear outdoor landscape. The entry becomes a gateway into this secret garden. Light breathes life into the living space in the morning and pours into the kitchen from the southern clerestory above. Our client, who currently plays the organ at weekly services, has wor... Mais

The biggest challenge of the project Bunkherr came up at the outset of the collaboration between the client and the architects. The attractive hillside property was located in a former holiday home neighborhood set amidst a picturesque landscape in Hesse, Germany. Due to great dedication, perseverance and a tenacious struggle for the client’s strong desire to build their home in this very attractive place, a construction permit could finally be successfully acquired. The design is based on the idea of a human back, which divides the property into two areas: a public hillside area, which contains the entrance to the house, the garage and a spacious, plaza-like courtyard - an inviting place to share time with friends and neighbors.
