The Bay Window house has four apartments designed for people who want to replace their single-family house with an apartment in favour of a simpler life. It has therefore been an ambition to create a project with apartments that have many of the qualities found in a single-family house.

The design brief was originally for an aviary, bird-watching platform, and shelter in the Suzhou Taihu Lakeside National wetland park.
The main design objective incorporates the serenity of the environment with the characteristics of birds in flight. The building includes a high tensile steel loom structure that acts as a gallery for the resting birds. The primary structure is made out of a series of stainless-steel spine beams from which motors move and sway like plumes. The structure flutters gently as birds freely fly around the aviary, reverberating like a loom choreographed by birds in flight.
A case study on Ozark Modernism. The Case Study Residence harkens back to the post-WWII Case Study Houses project sponsored by Arts and Architecture magazine. Just as the original project was an experimentation in modern American residential architecture, the Case Study Residence seeks to define and embody “Ozark Modernism” in an example of single-family residential architecture. For the firm, Case Study Residence is an opportunity to test a hypothesis, develop a specific regional vocabulary within our practice, and to reaffirm our mission statement.

This hillside home is 2600 square feet with two bedrooms. Similar to its sibling shoreline home, Seaview Escape, it is done in the Pacific Northwest-style, with wood floors and an expansive two-story glazing allowing a view of the mountains from the upper balcony. Cantilevered wood “floating” stair treads lead to a library overlooking the double-height living and dining space below. Beach glass and nautical light fixtures were chosen for the bathrooms to bring a coastal feel indoors. A stone mass wall with corten panels provides the focal point of the living space, housing a fireplace and media center while providing separation from the master suite. The house is connected to a wooded pathway that leads to the beach.

Coates Design Architects was chosen to fulfill ambitious goals: patient-centered care that is both innovative in its approach as well as cost-effective. The client required a building that was environmentally-friendly, low-cost, and could be built quickly to allow for immediate patient care. All of these goals, and more, were met in the final design for this one-of-a-kind facility.
