In Austin, Texas, this house is a project by Ravel Architecture - who also acted as client and developer.

The massive concrete wall not only serves to maximize privacy but also operates as an effective sound barrier. The architects note their delight at seeing the train pass by from the second-floor loft.  Chase Daniel A large glazed double-s... More

Donald Dungan Library pays homage to California’s physical and cultural history with alabaster concrete facade

The design of the new Donald Dungan Library in sunny Costa Mesa in Southern California pays homage to both the physical and cultural history of the region. An alabaster concrete plastered facade evokes the humility of Spanish mission style adobe architecture ubiquitous in the area since the 1800s.  The two-story structure simultaneously updates this aesthetic to incorporate a mid-century modern vibe with sleek streamlined forms inspired by the aerospace industry, which led to massive economic and population expansion in SoCal after 1940. Dramatic curves, recessed cutouts and large arched windows are not only visually arresting but also enhance sustainability through at once harnessing natural light and also minimizing direct sun exposu...

U.S. Green Building Council - USGBC

In 2008 the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) opened a small office in San Diego, California, to develop a program for the residential building market. In 2009, the team located a space that would satisfy their high expectations for a green workspace. Built in 1979, the office building incorporated many green elements in its original design, including a green roof, 100% day-lit space and operable windows for fresh air. Every decision in the retrofit of the 1,600 square foot space incorporated sustainable measures, practices and materials: the reuse of kitchen cabinets, reduction of construction waste, specification of low-VOC materials, and addition of window coverings that manage heat and light from the sun. The benefit of a 100% d... More

For the past three years, Krayden Inc. has been a recipient of the coveted Dow Corning Distributor of the Year Award. However, for a company known for its reliability and efficiency, Krayden's Denver office lacked the lighting environment necessary to enhance its workers' productivity. The densely packed, high-walled cubicles and low ceilings kept Krayden's office dull and dark and left worker morale and productivity low. To increase the office's exposure to natural sunlight, manufacturers at H&H Enterprises installed BrightShelves b... More
