On the rugged coast at Bandon, Oregon, Strand Design designed a retreat as two primary volumes joined by a glazed breezeway that frames the Pacific beyond. The house is shaped by weather, light and the long view, with sheltered outdoor spaces held between the ocean and a courtyard so the family can be outside even when the wind picks up. Bryan Daugherty Bryan Daugherty Bryan Daugherty Bryan Daugherty Dark wood cladding wraps the exterior. A wood-clad entry opens to a glazed courtyard that holds a single tree, and skylit stairs and halls carry daylight through the plan. Living, dining and kitchen spaces unfold around framed ocean views and the sea stacks offshore, and open directly to terraces outside. Bryan Daugherty... More

TWO ANGLE HOUSE

The Two Angle house, located in the seaside town of Mount Eliza in Victoria, Australia, is about contrast.

A large concrete blade wall extends due west out to frame a double height view of the bay while the prevailing angle of the surrounding subdivision is expressed through a spotted gum timber lined ceiling which leads to the main living area of the house. Joinery volumes, the direction of decking and soffits, the board for... More
