CCASA ArchitectsThe new intervention was clearly defined with new materials while the remaining first floor level was left with its original brickwork. the contrast of both is well balanced, creating the optical illusion of the first floor floating.

The extension blends red brickwork and dark framed glazing with crisp White render book ending the extension.
Vetter ArchitectsThe owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest.
The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements:
- Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall
- Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space.
- Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room.
- Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters.
- Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge.
These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic.
The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.

Techo-BlocSmooth and sleek, Blu 80 mm Smooth is the perfect driveway paver to fit any modern home's exterior. Due to its 80 mm height, Blu is optimal for driveway use and paving any surface exposed to vehicular traffic.Now available in our HD2 technology for an ultra-tight poreless finish with anti-aging technology; this paver is offered in vibrant and neutral colors. If you're looking to add contrast around this subtle and clean paving stone, the Blu 6 × 13 mm can be added to create contrasting patterns or banding along the Blu 80 modular pattern. Blu 80's versatility doesn't end there. It can also be installed in a permeable application by swapping polymeric sand for stone and it benefits from all the de-icing salt resistance necessary for harsh winters.

“A Seattle homeowner hired Wittman Estes to design an affordable, eco-friendly unit to live in her backyard as a way to generate rental income. The modern structure is outfitted with a solar roof that provides all of the energy needed to power the unit and the main house. To make it happen, the firm partnered with NODE, known for their design-focused, carbon negative, non-toxic homes, resulting in Seattle’s first DADU (Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) with the International Living Future Institute’s (IFLI) zero energy certification.”

HGK Hamburger Grundstückskontor GmbHDas moderne Architektenhaus im Bauhaustil wirkt mit seiner hellgrauen Putzfassade sehr warm und harmonisch zu den Holzelementen der Garagenfassade. Hierbei wurde besonderer Wert auf das Zusammenspiel der Materialien und Farben gelegt. Die Rhombus Leisten aus Lärchenholz bekommen in den nächsten Jahren witterungsbedingt eine ansprechende Grau / silberfarbene Patina, was in der Farbwahl der Putzfassade bereits berücksichtigt wurde.

Marshall House is an extension to a Grade II listed dwelling in the village of Twyford, near Winchester, Hampshire. The original house dates from the 17th Century, although it had been remodelled and extended during the late 18th Century.
The clients contacted us to explore the potential to extend their home in order to suit their growing family and active lifestyle. Due to the constraints of living in a listed building, they were unsure as to what development possibilities were available. The brief was to replace an existing lean-to and 20th century conservatory with a new extension in a modern, contemporary approach. The design was developed in close consultation with the local authority as well as their historic environment department, in order to respect the existing property and work to achieve a positive planning outcome.
Like many older buildings, the dwelling had been adjusted here and there, and updated at numerous points over time. The interior of the existing property has a charm and a character - in part down to the age of the property, various bits of work over time and the wear and tear of the collective history of its past occupants. These spaces are dark, dimly lit and cosy. They have low ceilings, small windows, little cubby holes and odd corners. Walls are not parallel or perpendicular, there are steps up and down and places where you must watch not to bang your head.
The extension is accessed via a small link portion that provides a clear distinction between the old and new structures. The initial concept is centred on the idea of contrasts. The link aims to have the effect of walking through a portal into a seemingly different dwelling, that is modern, bright, light and airy with clean lines and white walls. However, complementary aspects are also incorporated, such as the strategic placement of windows and roof lights in order to cast light over walls and corners to create little nooks and private views. The overall form of the extension is informed by the awkward shape and uses of the site, resulting in the walls not being parallel in plan and splaying out at different irregular angles.
Externally, timber larch cladding is used as the primary material. This is painted black with a heavy duty barn paint, that is both long lasting and cost effective. The black finish of the extension contrasts with the white painted brickwork at the rear and side of the original house. The external colour palette of both structures is in opposition to the reality of the interior spaces. Although timber cladding is a fairly standard, commonplace material, visual depth and distinction has been created through the articulation of the boards. The inclusion of timber fins changes the way shadows are cast across the external surface during the day. Whilst at night, these are illuminated by external lighting.
A secondary entrance to the house is provided through a concealed door that is finished to match the profile of the cladding. This opens to a boot/utility room, from which a new shower room can be accessed, before proceeding to the new open plan living space and dining area.
Vital BuildThe recycled red brick home creates a striking street scape in a desirable Briar Hill location. The home is cladded with a cemintal cladding which is a stunning contrast to the recycled red bricks.
