Tree House
The owners wanted to upgrade an internally awkward and dark middle suburban Californian Bungalow into a light, modern 3 bedroom + study residence.There was a small group of huge trees in the backyard that the owners loved, so they became integral to the design of the new addition. The rear extension has substantial north facing windows that utilise these existing trees for shading from the summer sun. An angled eave overhang is provided for these windows where there are no trees to offer shading.
The extension was conceived as a single volume of efficient construction. It has a simple flat roof with interconnected spaces differentiated by changes in floor level that follow the sloping site. The rear decks also terrace downward towa... Mais

House-N
Esta casa teve dois desafios. O primeiro é "orçamento" e o segundo é "sensação de distância".
Do ponto de vista orçamentário, a restrição de área foi aplicada na fase inicial do projeto. Para dar à casa um espaço um pouco mais estreito, ela tem uma estrutura semelhante a um estúdio de dois andares com sete andares pulados aleatoriamente. Além disso, ao não fixar o teto, o projeto foi feito de forma que os passos pudessem ser ouvidos facilmente. O espaço assim construído é também cenário de vários “campos” que mantêm um certo sentido de distância.

Sampson House
Em um subúrbio compacto no centro de Orange NSW, esta extensão para um bangalô dos anos 1920 oferece novos espaços de estar voltados para o norte e um retiro principal com uma casa de banho de estilo japonês que se abre para um pátio paisagístico de escala fina.
Os proprietários estavam reduzindo o tamanho de uma propriedade nos arredores da cidade. Eles queriam uma casa aconchegante com uma relação direta com um pátio paisagístico de baixa manutenção. Um pedido especial foi para um Banho de Estilo Japonês que teve uma grande influência na materialidade e no desenho da casa e do jardim.

Papamoa Beach House
O local faz parte de uma série de locais com acesso à praia na praia de Papamoa. Uma oportunidade se apresentou; como costurar inteligentemente a chegada da rua traseira à frente do local.
Os primeiros princípios resultaram em todos os espaços públicos primários, estar, jantar e cozinha, sendo posicionados na frente do local. Em seguida, usamos o final da rua da casa para formar um portal que fornece cobertura e conduz o visitante em um ângulo parede e intradorso. O portão monóculo a vista para uma porta da frente envidraçada e o mar além.
A jornada entre a porta de entrada e a porta da frente tem um paisagismo exuberante ao longo da frontei... Mais

Fire Island 2
This project is in a beach community and emanates a casual, summer style. Rise capitalized on the central double height space as part of the expansion and complete reconfiguration of this home. The dramatic ceiling connects the new den on the second floor to the living areas below. The exterior elevations and window layouts were completely re- thought. The internal house circulation was re-oriented around the central gathering space to make it both more efficient and more attractive. An additional entry to the house was added with a mud room. Finishes and fixtures were replaced and renewed.
Material Used :1. Windows - Anderson, 200 series2. Cladding - Red Cedar plank3. AC - Mitsubishi split systems4. Floors - solid oak 2-1/4&... Mais

Legal House
The Legal House (aka Keeshen House) is a 2,900 square foot home designed and built for a family with 2 young children, in the location of their existing house on a quiet street in a friendly hilltop neighborhood. Many homes here are being expanded so residents can remain in the city as they raise families in the highly valuable and densifying Westside of Los Angeles. Much of the design process was spent navigating through and adjusting to the currently changing zoning codes, which dictate the size and shape of expanding single-family residential construction. As the owners are both Attorneys and were fascinated by this part of the process, the project has been nicknamed “The Legal House”.

Gap Cove House
In this age of rising sea levels and palatial homes overrunning coastal towns while dominating their fragile ecosystems, this more thoughtful house stands out. The modestly-sized house was designed in close collaboration with the local Conservation Commission, exceeds recently updated FEMA regulations, and was designed to produce as much electricity as it uses over the course of a year. Its overtly modern design is more about responding to its rugged site and to its inhabitants’ needs and dreams rather than a statement about style.

Water Street Coffee Drive-Thru
Water Street Coffee Drive-Thru is located just north of I-94 in Kalamazoo, MI. This drive-thru only building is designed to enhance the relationship between architecture and automobile by conveying moments of the cafe experience to patrons that never leave their cars.
The building's predominately rectangular form is modified by an emergent curved wall which is extended past the south facade to increase the building’s presence from the south and shield the various services near the staff entryway. The curved wall mimics the movement of cars on the site and introduce an element of surprise by shifting the perception of the building's size, form, and proportions as one drives around.
A large corner window, situated in a field of... Mais

Tōrō House
O projeto é uma reconstrução completa e adição a uma casa existente em uma colina. Situada em uma encosta que marca a interface entre um bosque de sequoias no leste e um bosque de folha caduca e um prado ao redor, a casa original de meados do século foi planejada em "L", em torno de um terraço central voltado para uma sequoia solitária monumental . Com recuos de 15 metros em todos os lados da linha de propriedade, a pegada residencial existente se estendeu em vários recuos, apresentando o desafio de deixar a única nova área edificável como uma forma triangular estreita cortada por uma encosta íngreme não edificável.

Quarry Drive House
Quarry Drive House was commissioned by clients seeking a mid-century modern aesthetic to house their collection of mid-century modern furniture. The home is tucked into a hill surrounded by a collection of arbutus trees and projects out from sloping grade toward ocean views at the front. As one approaches from the driveway at the rear, the house reveals itself. Once inside, a great room with a raised ceiling opens out toward views of Vancouver Island to the south with decks surrounding the entire front of the house. Large overhangs and floor to ceiling glass provide cover from the rain and maximize on natural light.

Black House
An ever growing young family led to an evolving design in this project in Sydney’s east. An alteration and addition to an existing detached victorian house, our insertion at the rear aimed to bring much needed northern light into the new rear living spaces. This was achieved through a series of voids and clerestory windows, which add vertical dimension and a dialogue between private and public space. Again, this house builds upon the narritive of contrast in old and new – in materials, form and space.

Outpost
Outpost is a phased, hybrid structure merging recreation, retail and work environments to foster and reinforce a sense of community in a developing section of Hood River. As part of the city’s new Waterfront Masterplan, Outpost will eventually become a 60,000-square-foot development—a neighborhood of buildings that will functionally connect the city with the Columbia River waterfront. The site, formerly home to an industrial wastewater treatment and processing facility, largely underutilized the waterfront but will now become a new paradigm for future development in the region.
Phase One is composed of two buildings, that together, result in a 30,000-square-foot complex that reimagines traditional mixes of spaces and ho... Mais

Eton Accessory Building
The Eton Accessory building sits amongst a gnarly row of alley structures of varying vintages; old stucco garages, laneway homes and garden sheds. It stands out and invites curiosity from the neighbourhood – what is it used for? What is it made of?
This 100% wood structure is a testament that no project is too small for prefabrication, its design born out of a strong desire to work with cross laminated timber – to better understand its properties as well as the efficiencies of its assembly on a project of a very small scale. Designed as a kit of parts, the structure is entirely made of 3 ply CLT with large cedar framed openings at both ends. Skylights and windows are strategically cut in to allow daylight into the woody... Mais

Freshwater Semi
This alterations and additions to a semi-detached house aim to maximise natural light and aspect into a narrow, 3.6m wide, south facing semi. The front rooms and roof line of the existing building is retained and a new 2 storey extension is constructed at the rear. Living areas are located on the ground level and a kick back stair provides access to 2 new bedrooms and a new bathroom/ensuite accessed via a timber bridge overlooking the void to the kitchen below. Circulation has been minimised so that living and bedrooms spaces can take full advantage of the available 3.6m width.
The roof line has been simply extended up to Council’s allowable building envelope to allow for a 14.5 meter long north facing set of louvre windows s... Mais

Waranara Early Learning Centre
Located in the ever-evolving Green Square precinct, the Waranara Early Learning Centre provides much needed day care for young residents in the local community. The project involves the adaptive reuse of a heritage-listed outpatients building into a 74 place Early learning space. A complex brief as well as a sensitive client has resulted in a challenging project. Careful attention has been placed on the overall useability of the Centre resulting in a cohesive and robust design bridging old and new. The integrity of the existing building has been retained - breathing new life into the structure – and a contemporary wing housing the entry, playspace and wraparound verandah has been grafted onto the original shell.
