A simple metal volume perched high on a bluff offers targeted views of the lake below. Predominantly oriented to the south, the house’s galvanized metal exterior is punctuated by storefront windows that frame vignette views to the south, east and west. Inside, a partition wall divides the elongated rectangular interior and supports the loft’s structure, which appears to float above the glazed joist spaces.

En éstas, las dos disciplinas se estudian de manera intersecada, formando parte ya de una relación difícil de disociar.
“El feliz maridaje entre las disciplinas arquitectónica y fotografía es una realidad consagrada. La arquitectura moderna encontró en la fotografía,...

Designed by Garrett Rock, the New Acadia, Retrofitting Urban Decay proposal was the winning entry for one of six sites in the [Imagine Downtown] Lafayette Design Competition which aims to be a re-imagination of urban density within the neighborhood’s city core. The design offers Lafayette an alternative mode of development that stimulates street life in hopes of attracting a young, creative class that are leaving the city for more amenity-rich urban enclaves. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Lafayette, like many mid-sized American cities, is losing a young and highly-educated creative class of millennials. These children of baby boomers, raised most often in a suburban condition, are seeking out stimulation brought about by more walkable cities defined by their...

As part of NY Design Week, this weekend we’re curating a pop-up exhibition in Brooklyn titled te + te: New Handmade.Collaborating with reMADE, the show will feature (mostly) local designers who are challenging the typical classifications of handmade, which has taken on a much broader, economically competitive definition.
te (手) is the Japanese word for hand. te + te is about the hand of the artist but it also implies the exchange of goods from hand to hand. There are some amazing artists and designers participating: Noriko Kuresumi, Wasara, Takeshi Miyakawa, Nao Matsumoto, Kenzo Minami and Kaori Sohma.
Yes, we’re pulling out the big guns. I’ll be at the reception so hope to see you there!
Date: May 19 – 20, 2013 (Reception May 19, 6:00pm )
Time: 5:00pm – 11:00pm
Location: 469 Dekalb Ave, Brooklyn (Gmap)

The project retains its original envelope as part of its environmental, economic and planning values. A substantial lower ground living volume is sensitively inserted beneath the original fabric to harness the fall in the site towards the rear, extending deeply beneath the existing dwelling and outwards towards the garden to transform it – while a re- crafted rear ground floor above enfolds the existing rhythm of front rooms over the new lower ground below.
Both levels accept a modestly-sized lightweight addition which...

This house is located on a narrow urban site in the heart of Herne Bay. Tight site controls and a sloping site resulted in a long narrow building form that steps down the slope of the site.
One of the main features of the house is the entry which is reached by a bridge that crosses a moat of planting. The entry is glazed with translucent glass to give privacy and a beautiful soft light to the interior spaces. The entry space is protected by a vertical cedar screen with intermittent horizontals painted with colours that have also been used on the interior and inspired by the clients’ fantastic collection of 1950 -60s furniture, art and ceramics.
Once inside an open riser jarrah and steel stair with a hanging screen of stainless steel mesh leads either upstairs to the main living level or downstairs to the bedrooms and a second family living area.
The rooms on the lower level open out to the usually redundant side yards surrounding the house with each room having its own terra...
