The clients had two main requests when this project began: first, they wanted to be able to move in as soon as possible, which meant that the extended footprint had to strictly adhere to zoning by-laws in order to expedite the building permit; and second, they wanted to maximize the useful floor space - as a family with a young child, they wanted to accommodate flexibility and room for play, while still ensuring that the house felt composed and ordered.   doublespace photography This dichotomy became the driver for both the organization and language of the home. After maximizing the footprint and height within zoning regulations, we arrived at a simple volume which was nearly as wide as it was long – a relatively uncommon s... More

“Our muse came in the form of art, specifically, the celebrated post-impressionistic works of French artist, Paul Cézanne. His paintings of Provence formed the basis of our narrative, reflecting the calming greenery and tranquil mountainous landscapes of his homeland.” — Kenny Kinugasa-Tsui, co-founder of Bean Buro Steven Ko “Through Cézanne’s art, we envisioned a design language that embodied elegance and playfulness—combining natural timber, green hues, curvaceous forms, and vertical elements inspired by trees.” — Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro Steven Ko The Brief: A Beacon of Wellbeing in Residential Design We were tasked with designing a h...

Sitting on nearly two acres, this West Lake Hills residence is nestled into the easternmost end of a wooded lot that slopes sharply towards a canyon at the foothills of the property. This topographic condition offers incredible opportunities to capture deep views of the hills beyond, but also poses challenges for the house’s siting, access, and constructability. Among these challenges, the main one was how to create a small footprint that was able to accommodate the program required by the owners with low impact and minimal site disturbance. Clayton Korte The result is a house that has a compact cut and fill area, achieved by condensing the main living zones in two “book-end” pods connected by a suspended bridge that... More
