Del Mar Civic Center in California by Miller Hull PartnershipTuesday, November 26th, 2019Article source: Miller Hull Partnership Del Mar’s new Civic Center resolves this seaside village’s longstanding need for a centralized venue where people can come together to celebrate community and exercise civic engagement. Prior to this development, Del Mar’s public activities were scattered throughout the city, often occurring in private-sector spaces. The new Civic Center consolidates primary public functions in one location, and places them at the heart of the Village. “City Halls have evolved into being much more than places representing civic gravitas. They are a public investment in the infrastructure for the social aspects of community, where civic identity is formed through the ritual of public gatherings that are made possible by these spaces,” notes Mike Jobes, design principal for the project.

21st Century Bungalow in California, USA by John Lum ArchitectureThursday, November 14th, 2019Article source: John Lum Architecture The Hillsborough Residence is a Japanese-inspired/craftsman, heavy-timber house directly influenced by John Lum Architecture’s client’s love of nature and their desire to build a home in a style that spoke to them. The clients definitely did not want a cold modern box nor did they want to build a historical revival house so typical of this affluent community. John Lum Architecture designed the house using natural materials that clearly express structure while emphasizing the cozy and intimate versus the grand. Although traditional in feeling, the house is a casual house designed for a lifetime of living for this family of five.  Image Courtesy © Richard Barnes
MODAA in Culver City, California by SPF:architectsSunday, November 3rd, 2019Article source: SPF:architects MODAA was originally developed by our office beginning in 2003, and it was a project initiated by studio co-founder Judit Fekete-Pali. After several years of renting offices around Los Angeles, she felt it was finally time SPF:a owned the building it occupied. While her first thought was to buy a property and renovate it, Judit had by chance come across an empty lot advertised for sale along Culver City’s Washington Boulevard. The price was too good to pass up and she drafted a scheme to erect from the ground up. Today, this building holds not just our design studio, but a global modeling agency, a co-working space, and the SPF:a Gallery.  Image Courtesy © SPF:architects
Saxum Vineyard Equipment Barn in Paso Robles, California by Clayton & LittleWednesday, October 23rd, 2019Article source: Clayton & Little Located in the Templeton Gap area of West Paso Robles, California, this simple agricultural storage structure rests at the toe of the 50-acre James Berry Vineyard and the adjacent winery sitting just over 800 feet away. This structure is completely self-sufficient and operates independently from the energy grid, maximizing the structure’s survivability and resilience. Designed as a modern pole barn, the reclaimed oil field drill stem pipe structure’s primary objectives are to provide an armature for a photovoltaic roof system that offsets more than 100% of power demands on the winery and to provide covered open-air storage for farming vehicles and their implements, workshop and maintenance space, and storage for livestock supplies.  Perforated corrugated Western Rib panels enclose the long sides providing wind screening. Image Courtesy © Casey Dunn
National City Aquatic Center in California by Safdie Rabines ArchitectsSunday, September 29th, 2019Article source: Safdie Rabines Architects Positioned on the southern edge of the 5½-acre Pepper Park at the mouth of the Sweetwater River Channel, this single-story, two-structure aquatic center was designed to facilitate recreational and educational services for the community. Replacing a makeshift facility housed in trailers for over a decade, the center serves as a beacon that marks the channel entry while capitalizing upon its unobstructed views towards protected wetlands, San Diego Bay and beyond. A large community gathering and activity space is located in the easternmost structure under a faceted, flying roof. Perched atop a base of clear glass walls, the roof appears to glide kite-like into the sky creating a fluid dynamic for its larger counterpart to the west. Across an open-air walkway, offices are contained in a box comprised of 4’ intermittently operable windows. Like the bridge of a ship, the box also serves as a lookout, its clear glass walls enabling observation of activities taking place on the water and the center’s surroundings. To the west, an angular concrete block structure floats behind like a barge, and contains boat and equipment storage, restrooms and locker rooms. Separate yet unified, the buildings are secured and coalesced with custom galvanized steel gates accented and brushed acrylic panels.  Image Courtesy © Safdie Rabines Architects
