Donald Lococo ArchitectsDesigned in 1970 for an art collector, the existing referenced 70’s architectural principles. With its cadence of ‘70’s brick masses punctuated by a garage and a 4-foot-deep entrance recess. This recess, however, didn’t convey to the interior, which was occupied by disjointed service spaces. To solve, service spaces are moved and reorganized in open void in the garage. (See plan) This also organized the home: Service & utility on the left, reception central, and communal living spaces on the right.
To maintain clarity of the simple one-story 70’s composition, the second story add is recessive. A flex-studio/extra bedroom and office are designed ensuite creating a slender form and orienting them front to back and setting it back allows the add recede. Curves create a definite departure from the 70s home and by detailing it to "hover like a thought" above the first-floor roof and mentally removable sympathetic add.Existing unrelenting interior walls and a windowless entry, although ideal for fine art was unconducive for the young family of three. Added glass at the front recess welcomes light view and the removal of interior walls not only liberate rooms to communicate with each other but also reinform the cleared central entry space as a hub.
Even though the renovation reinforms its relationship with art, the joy and appreciation of art was not dismissed. A metal sculpture lost in the corner of the south side yard bumps the sculpture at the front entrance to the kitchen terrace over an added pedestal. (See plans) Since the roof couldn’t be railed without compromising the one-story '70s composition, the sculpture garden remains physically inaccessible however mirrors flanking the chimney allow the sculptures to be appreciated in three dimensions. The mirrors also afford privacy from the adjacent Tudor's large master bedroom addition 16-feet away.
Boyenga Team / CompassMoments away from downtown California Ave, dining, and Caltrain access, a new beginning awaits in this newly constructed modern masterpiece in Evergreen Park. This dream residence with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms features a variety of amenities within its breathtaking interior. Upon entry through its spectacular oversized 8ft wide pivot door is a visually stunning and emotionally soothing sanctuary of simplicity in an expansive and wide-open floor plan. A single level home with wide french white oak floors flooded in natural light that seamlessly unifies every room. A breathtaking fireplace design that stuns from every angle defined with Porcelanosa imported tile that spans the entire 18ft high wall on both sides. Soaring ceiling heights of 18 ft that allow ample room to breathe, and an option to add up to 450 square feet of loft space. At the center of it all is the gourmet kitchen with custom Modern Cabinetry, a built-in refrigerator, wine room, a lavish and expansive kitchen island, waterfall-wrapped in extra thick Calacatta Borghini marble, that matches it’s simplicity with the fireplace. A Pecan wood finished breakfast bar is added along the marble edge adding just the right amount of warmth in the kitchen. Finally a built-in Miele appliance package guaranteed to satisfy the most demanding chef. The kitchen links to the dining and living areas maintaining the open floor plan. The warm flooring and clean lines from fine architectural craftsmanship complete the modern look you are looking for. Custom stone tile and marble highlight the bathrooms, and the Idyllic Master suite boasts an escape to the patio.
Amy Carman DesignFramed by rustic fieldstone and modern black windows, the main living space, a walk-out balcony, and a wing of three guest suites all overlook the lake at our Modern Northwoods Cabin. An outdoor kitchen, green roof, private guest suite patios, and a bocce ball court (behind the fieldstone wall) are just some of the unexpected luxuries of this modern lodge.

SALA ArchitectsThe homeowners sought to create a modest, modern, lakeside cottage, nestled into a narrow lot in Tonka Bay. The site inspired a modified shotgun-style floor plan, with rooms laid out in succession from front to back. Simple and authentic materials provide a soft and inviting palette for this modern home. Wood finishes in both warm and soft grey tones complement a combination of clean white walls, blue glass tiles, steel frames, and concrete surfaces. Sustainable strategies were incorporated to provide healthy living and a net-positive-energy-use home. Onsite geothermal, solar panels, battery storage, insulation systems, and triple-pane windows combine to provide independence from frequent power outages and supply excess power to the electrical grid.
