Linda Flora Residence in Los Angeles by Shubin+Donaldson Architects

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

This 26,800 sq.ft. home not only merges with its remarkable environment, but virtually disappears. Except for a few deft lines and angles – such as the ordered rows of the surrounding vineyard – there is very little perceivable ‘built’ presence. The entrance is marked by a single low wall, delicately cut into the land while sheltering a stairway that immediately begins the descent into the home.

Vortex House in Malibu, California by murmur

Monday, February 28th, 2011

vortex n, a mass of fluid (as a liquid) with a whirling or circular motion that tends to form a cavity in the center, and to draw toward this cavity bodies subject to its action.

The project’s ambition lies in its dramatic spatial and climatic modulation and the saturation of its interior with visual and physical material of the surrounding site. The surrounding geometric and topographic features, and the air currents these features produce, are drawn into the interior to condition its atmosphere. The man-made and the natural are characterized as of the same fluid medium, and the house is a vortex into which this material is drawn. This ambition informs each part of the house’s organization: its five-sided sculpted form, environmental control system, folded roofscape, exterior wrapper and involuted covered patios.

  • Architect: murmur
  • Location: Malibu, California
  • Materials: Steel and timber frame, zinc roofing, plaster, stucco exterior walls
  • Dimensions: 1276 sf interior, 468 sf

Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley, California by Marcy Wong Donn Logan Architects

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

The Freight & Salvage (whose non-profit organization is incorporated as the Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music) has long been the most venerable institution dedicated to presenting the best in folk and traditional music west of the Mississippi. The organization was started in 1968, where despite the small size and grittiness of the initial barn-like urban warehouse venues, “The Freight” became known for top quality performers and for its welcoming, down-home environment.

House for Two Artists in Sonoma County, California by Marcy Wong Donn Logan Architects

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

The clients, a composer and a photographer, wanted a small house to replace a dilapidated shack on their secluded property. Due to the pace of their careers and travel schedules, they wanted the house to be a refuge that drew from and was connected to the land. The clients view of their role as custodians of this beautiful site bolstered their motivation to design and build as sustainability as possible – an objective shared by the architects as well. The surrounding vistas consist of rolling hills with dense covers of various species of native California trees. This context in concert with the owners’ and designers’ principles of environmental stewardship, were the guiding inspirations for the placement, form, and materials of the house.
