Article source: Aaron Neubert Architects Sited on a private coastal California hillside street lined with five tightly stacked homes, the 3000 square foot residence optimizes a compact footprint, resulting in an experience that maximizes outdoor living, without compromising the privacy of the family. A façade of smooth plaster and cedar siding bundle the interior rooms with strategically placed exterior spaces, producing long sightlines throughout the interior. The informal configuration supports the family’s love of music and art, generating numerous opportunities to display their art collection and engage in impromptu recitals.

Article source: Cushing Terrell Located in Darby, Montana, the design of this 2,400-square-foot residence is a personal reflection of the homeowners’ sense of style, life experiences, and love of the land. From its unexpected placement on the lot to its name, the home is full of stories. With the steep topography at the back of the lot and incredible views all around, ordinarily the house would have been situated in the center, impacting a large field where deer and elk come to feed. Instead, the family chose to leave the field natural and untouched. The home was tucked into the far side of the lot with minimal disruption to the site, creating a beautiful foreground as you approach the house. The family’s daughter named the residence after the deer and elk co-habitants.

Article source: Studiobazaar On the edge of the city centre of Pécs and the slopes of Mecsek, situated in the southwestern part of Hungary, the apartment house with its compact, flat-roofed mass wants to fit into the rather mixed, heterogeneous environment of Gebauer Ernő street. In Gebauer Ernő street, the family houses and the flat-roofed, modernist apartment houses built in the second part of the 20th century, the latter ones with fine details, clinker brick inserts, concrete balconies, natural stone plinths can be observed, which are the evidence of quality built environment. The building density on the street is changing, family houses are slowly being displaced by apartment houses, several newly built blocks have appeared on the street in the recent years. The relatively small scale apartment house with 4 apartments and an indoor parking garage has been designed to represent and retell the quality of the modernist buildings of the last century in its exterior and interior spaces, and facade details.

Article source: Klopf Architecture High in the Berkeley Hills sits an updated mid-century modern home that for the homeowners, feels like a cabin nestled in the treetops. It was important that the new designs were aligned with original intent because of the client’s appreciation for mid-century modern architecture. As with many original mid-century modern homes, the house was scaled to the 1960s lifestyle where rooms were smaller and openings to views were limited and tightly framed. Klopf designed a remodel and addition to bring the house into the 21st century indoor-outdoor living.

Article source: Form4 Architecture The development of a skyline is a design theme as old as Architecture itself. When reaching urban heights, orientation and a sense of identity for the community are the most visible outcome of that architectural ambition. Such understanding feeds the environmental vision of this proposed scheme. The Lake Merritt BART compounds intentionally amps up its presence at street level and on the Bay Area horizon to sculpt a memorable massing on a physically low‐shaped territory.
