The Road's End House

A MODERN PLACE TO RETIRE  Portland architects Giulietti/Schouten focus on custom, single-family homes—both new builds and remodels—throughout the Pacific Northwest. Their regional expertise drew Mary and Phil Krueger to approach the firm with an ambitious project: replacing their 1938 property in Lincoln City with a modern home. They wanted their home to take advantage of the stunning Oregon Coast views and have design features like wide door frames that would allow them to age in place through retirement and into their golden years. A sliding door was the easy choice for the upstairs master bedroom. Not only did it fit the overall aesthetic of the home, it checked the boxes of ease of use and compatibility with oversized... More

Stable Conversion

When a Chicago-based painter and a digital designer moved to Kirkland, Washington they bought a home that came with a horse stable. The biggest animal they owned, however, was a dog. They decided to repurpose the horse stable, common for their neighborhood, which abuts the Bridle Trails State Park, as a multiuse space complete with a painter’s studio, a workspace, and a guest bedroom. They hired SHED Architecture to renovate both the stable and the house, and saw an opportunity to have fun with the smaller structure. “As the conversion occurred in concert with a remodel of the main house, the stable became a site for big ideas and a more open-ended project brief,” said SHED Principal Thomas Shaer. “Our goal was pret...

OFS Showroom

The OFS Brands showroom in Los Angeles features a stunning glass conference room with Krownlab sliding door hardware.   A CUSTOM SPACE FOR CUSTOM FURNITURE  When OFS Brands designed their new Los Angeles showroom, they tapped Pam Light, pL-D Studio, and Klawiter and Associates to help shape it. OFS is a family owned, community driven company that has been providing socially responsible furniture and logistics solutions since 1937. It was important that their showroom have a truly refined aesthetic that preserved existing architectural elements—a spatial metaphor for their modern product offerings and their rich heritage. A key component of pulling this design trick off was the thoughtful selection of interior finishes. W... More

Woodland House

A young family from Chicago built their dream home in rural Wisconsin.   BACK TO NATURE  Chicago urbanites Dave and Jamie Van Dixhorn and their three young children uprooted from the windy city to the small town of Kohler, Wisconsin, looking for a radical change of lifestyle. Proximity to nature was a central priority. But they also wanted to keep some of that urban sensibility they had come to love: open spaces, large windows and functional design. Dave and Jamie hired Osterhaus-McCarthy and Milwaukee-based Bruns Architecture to design a 6,000-square-foot home to their specifications. As Dave likes to say, “The design blurs the lines between the natural beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of modern living.”... More

BBC Scotland

At the heart of BBC Scotland’s headquarters lie 3 of Clark Door’s large sound proof sliding doors. These doors needed to meet the stringent television studio performance requirements. Clark Door have built numerous single door systems with a rating in excess of Rw 56dB, this project required doors at 52dB Rw, incorporating minimum requirements at the difficult to measure low end frequency spectrum. These doors passed the acoustician’s onsite test with flying colours. The major challenge on this project for Clark Door was to design and manufacture a bespoke system that would fit into the extremely limited headroom, whilst still providing the required clear opening height. Compounding the challenge was the need to manufactu... More

Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House

MEETING A GREATER NEEDThe Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House has a long history of supporting families of seriously ill children, beginning in 1974. When the time came to increase their capacity, they looked to renowned local architecture firm Ewing Cole and experienced contractor P. Agnes to expand a 40,000-square-foot facility.Capacity had been a constant challenge before the project. In 2018, 7,152 families that requested care could not be accommodated. Called the Jill and Alan B. Miller Tower, the project involved developing a 93,000 square foot structure to have 127 rooms. Previously, there had been 45. The increased capacity has made a major impact: room nights per year have increased from 16,000 to 40,000.WELLNESS THROUGH DESIGNEwing... More

Casa nella roccia

The archaic idea of living in a cave is the basis of the unique rock house. The architect Werner Tscholl has catapulted it fantastically consistently into the present time. And we were allowed to accompany the construction of these living spaces. When working directly on the rock, variables were to be expected from the very beginning. So we brought with us the necessary flexibility to precisely fit the modern and fragile materials, such as glass, between the sharp edges. The rock house now offers the primeval human protection through the proximity to the stone as well as the wonderful modern comfort of our time. More
