Jackhammer in Philadelphia by PlumbobTuesday, April 19th, 2011First LEED-H Gold Residential/Commercial live/work space in the City of Philadelphia Formerly a convenience store and significant loitering/drug dealing corner property, neighbors seemed pleased when it caught on fire and was demolished in 2005. The architects felt it was important to restore the life and sense of community to this small but unique corner of Fishtown. While only 14’-0” wide and barely a 700 sf site footprint, they managed to create a vibrant, light-filled commercial space on the ground floor and basement as well as one residential dwelling on the 2nd and 3rd floors with a large green roof.

Box House in Boulder, Colorado by Studio H:T Architect (designed using Autodesk Revit)Tuesday, April 19th, 2011Steep site, wildfire prone area, prominent location, compelling views. A concrete ribbon carves the hillside to create space for the boxes. The garage and main level push into the earth while the studio and master float above. A spatial slot organizes procession from the northern car-park to the southern courtyard. Courtyards form introverted space that perceptually enlarge the interior. Roof decks are extroverted, capitalizing on views. The dialog between grounded and floating permeates the design in materiality and attachment.  Box House, Night-Shot
