Brett Farrow Architect has completed a new residential project located in the Southern California Coastal community of Encinitas. The small two bedroom, revers floor plan home makes full use of the site’s panoramic ocean views from its hilltop location on a small and irregularly shaped lot.
Programmatically the home is split into two zones, one a 4300 sf. residence for the owners, a couple requiring a very low maintenance lifestyle, and another zone for their extensive family and friends who visit the Arizona sunshine often.
“This is a project close to my heart because it is in the immediate vicinity of where I grew up, so in a sense, I was coming home to do it. The clients came to me specifically because they saw me as a local boy who did all right. They’d watched my career and liked the idea of us both being risk takers. Being on site resonated at a deep level—hearing the crunch of the snow under my feet, smelling the pine needles. It was so utterly familiar.” – Tom Kundig
River Point is a mixed-use project comprising a fifty story office tower with retail and restaurants; a spacious lobby; a 1.5 acre public plaza; and three levels of parking. Located on a triangular site at the broad confluence of the branching North and South Chicago Rivers, River Point enhances the character of this prominent river frontage while concealing the existing railroad tracks below.
Chestnut Street Townhouse is the first house to be built in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood in 50 years. Located in the “Flat,” an area off the hill and across Charles Street, the original structure was thought to have been a stable before it was converted into a house in the 1920s. Deemed unsalvageable by a series of structural engineers, the building was condemned and the approval process began for its replacement. Equipped with an allegiance to the concerns of the local preservation community and a precise understanding of the neighborhood’s historic architectural elements, the team adopted a careful, surgical approach to the design of the new townhouse so as to complement rather than upstage the neighboring buildings.

In 2012, the West Tennessee Solar Farm officially began generating power. The 5-megawatt facility, developed by the University of Tennessee Research Foundation, is located on Interstate-40 about 30 miles east of Memphis. The 21,434 solar panels were arranged around an open meadow intended as the site for a future visitor center designed to educate the public about solar energy in Tennessee. This center would be accessible 24-7 to local visitors, tourists and the millions of motorists who drive by the solar farm annually.
