Friar Tuck Residence
In this reimagined mid-century home, we embrace sustainability through authentic living design principles. By preserving the original single-story form, we create a sunlit courtyard using passive solar techniques. Prioritizing old-world natural materials and processes, we craft a healthy interior environment, devoid of artificial dyes, paints, and stains. Experience the luxury of simplicity, where the past converges with the present in perfect harmony with nature.

This apartment by Objektor Architekti is a spatial odyssey of materiality and creative expression
Bold materiality, bespoke furniture and eclectic motifs imbue this apartment by Objektor Architekti in Czechia. Ovenecká 33 is a space that challenges conventional notions of private and public areas, a shared, open, and permeable environment while still holding hidden corners and secrets.

Much like its owner, Tereza Porybná, the apartment is conceived to exude a spatial experience as ever-evolving as a gallery or a theatre stage, an environment where one could navigate without retracing their steps.
Various quirks and materialized childhood dreams have been incorporated into the minimalist base; a home throne, a kitchen that resembles a cave, and a concealed doorway within the library are just... More

10 striking homes with decorative plaster exteriors
The use of plaster in construction is an ancient building technique. Research shows that a number of Egyptian pyramids were built with plaster mortar and in early Greek architecture, plaster was used as fine stucco decoration on buildings such as temples. Today, the use of plaster is widespread, its ubiquity in part due to its modest and often inexpensive qualities. Plaster is also a strong and versatile building material, with protective properties that are resistant to the elements, humidity, infestation, and mold.

Bellgave residence offers a striking contemporary evolution of California mid-century modernism
Situated in the Hollywood Hills at the edge of a steep promontory, the private residence Bellgave by SAOTA is open to spectacular views from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica. The positioning of the house further offers glimpses of Pierre Koenig's modern-era icon, the Stahl House (Case Study House No. 22), which sets the architectural context for Bellgave.

East Hampton Cottage
This guest house and artist's studio in a secluded site in the Hamptons was designed in a primitive Italianate style inspired by the paintings of Giotto. Situated around a central courtyard, the L-shaped building culminates in a tower that offers a viewing promontory from its hilltop location. The earth-toned stucco façade provides a vibrant backdrop for the verdant setting, which extends to the house with potted plants and flower-beds.

Kerkveld, Vaals
Close to the German border in Vaals a social housing project of the early sixties wasn’t up to date anymore. Most residents left the houses before the housing cooperation decided to tear down the 47 small houses. The demolition is done in a way to keep as much material as possible reusable.

The question was to give the area a new, modern architecture look and to realize an ecological and social friendly project. The development of the Vaals Kerkveld project offers four types of social houses for different target groups and a collective garden in the middle, which is connected with the public space by semipublic paths. On the street side of the houses trees and hedges guarantee the int... More

Crane residence
This modern home is located in a rural expansion area near Tilburg. A quiet place surrounded by open meadows and fields. A few years ago, a covered terrace was designed for the previous home of these clients. This west-facing terrace is made of stucco with an interior of wood and was their favorite place of the house. They expressed the wish that this terrace should be the inspiration for the design of their new house. This eventually resulted in this dwelling with a pleated stucco framework filled with wood.The orientation of the lot was leading in the design. Since the front of the house is the west side, this would mean that the desired terrace would look out onto the street. By placing back the terrace in relation to the front facade an... More
