Sugar Fox is a neighborhood ice cream shop and bakery that offers a warm and fun atmosphere with pops of color and moments of whimsy. The owners of Little Red Fox collaborated with CORE to deliver a design that pays special attention to intuitive customer flow and efficient workspaces. A fresh take on the traditional ice cream shop concept, the 1,080 SF space features a modern interpretation of a Victorian-style ice cream parlor lattice screen, which visually separates the front and back of house. The service counter translates into a compact and functional workspace, offering guests several flavors of ice cream, soft serve, and cakes, along with a variety of cone, cup, and sprinkle accessories. The menu signage is visible from all angles and ice cream toppings and cones in vertical dispensers are on display right below.
This addition to the original Anderson School complex creates a bold campus presence that reimagines UCLA’s traditional four-color blended brick and buff-colored cast-stone masonry banding. Transforming a condition long considered an unsightly barrier between the school and the core campus, the design sites the building atop an existing parking structure east of the original complex, framing a new pedestrian plaza and cascading grand stair to the south. The result is a new primary entrance to the school that also serves as a dramatic gateway to UCLA’s North Campus.

This is a 2,500 square foot contemporary Farmhouse, located in the Texas Hill Country. This project entailed two parts; part one was the demolition and removal of the existing house, and replacing it with this new residence, and the second part was simply renovating the existing detached garage, to make it match the new home. The house sits on the high point of rolling acreage, and one of the keys to our design was to maximize the views in both the front and back of the house.

The project represents the first time in Chicago’s history where polycarbonate panels represent the majority of the exterior envelope.
The building is one piece in a greater comprehensive strategy for reinvigorating the Washington Park community on Chicago’s South Side. The inspiration for the Art Residences project emerged from KLEO’s mission, Keep Loving Each Other, but most importantly by continuing the legacy of Kleo Y. Barrett, who was a victim of a domestic violence incident that took her life. Her name and legacy will continue to inspire the project and encourage families affected by domestic violence.

This two-story row-house in Northeast DC was completely remodeled, and a new third floor and rear build-out were added. The Owner, a single woman who travels internationally for her work in Public Health, requested a minimal, timeless modernism reflective of the spaces she sees in Europe.
After living in a large home with a manicured landscape for several years, the homeowners were ready to inhabit a more intimate space with a strong connection to trees, bay views, and the land itself. One of the owners, originally from Switzerland, requested the design reflect elements of Swiss style, combining modern inferences with classic structural elements, craftsmanship, and pointed attention to detail. Seattle-based Christopher Wright Architecture created a strong yet site-sensitive home elevated just above the land to preserve the trees it aims to enjoy–creating a place that is as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
A three-dimensional kitchen renovation completely transformed the main level of a 1960s split-entry home in Bellevue. The removal of two walls allowed the kitchen and dining area to expand into an under-utilized adjacent room and fully connect those spaces with the living room. The new vaulted ceiling over the kitchen and dining room captured unused attic space to add volume and bring in more natural light through two new skylights.
