At first sight Oosterwold seemed to be a place too good to be true. Cheap land, building without aesthetic or any other restrictions, lots of space and a community consisting of like-minded neighbours. With this thought three couples came to us with their plan to pioneer in the polder, with little money, lots of space and great enthusiasm. House N&J is the first of the three related houses that has been inhabited by now, a second is in the making and when the last one will follow is still uncertain. The reality turned out to be more unruly than predicted. The market picked up, building became more expensive, contractors scarcer and pickier. Yet, after various obstacles and some delays, much of the original dream has been preserved. l... More

This is a 50 Sqm office occupying a single office space, originally formed by two rectangles. The only access is located on one of the transversal sides, while the other comprises the external façade, being almost entirely covered by glass windows. Longitudinal sides are opaque and make borders with neighbor offices. The space gives place to an accounting expert service company. Given the reduced area and the necessary five workplaces – manager plus four standard workplaces –, also a reception, kitchen and one toilet, an open office strategy was adopted. This enhances the internal space perception and provides functional freedom. In addition to that, the existent ribbed slab is left apparent to amplify the internal volume... More

This Japanese-inspired/craftsman, heavy-timber house was directly influenced by our 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 house replaced a nondescript rancher. The main rooms have been placed a... More

This was actually the second house that I designed after I started my own Architectural firm. I worked closely with the clients to create an open floor plan, that takes advantage of the 'left-over' lot that they purchased in The Woodlands. Designing a house with a unique lot was really a fun experience, as well as a challenge, and led to the cool "Y" shaped floor plan. The great room is one of the best spaces that I have ever designed, and love the feeling I still get when I step from the small foyer out into the grand space.   Located in The Woodlands, Texas.Featured on the 2013 Woodlands AIA Home Tour.
