This was David and Sophie’s own first home; a true self-build, integrating planning, design, finance and construction into one fluid process. The project won a RIBA National award, the Small House Award at British Homes, the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovation Award, a New London Architecture commendation and a Manser Medal nomination. It is a bijou house (829 sqft), built inside and out, in slim-format Dutch engineering brick – a robust material with a delicate black glaze. Interior structure and window reveals are in raw larch, while polished concrete floors flow between each of the rooms. Slabs of bookmatched Statuarietto marble are used throughout the house as a reflective contrast to the brick walls. The dramatic design revolves around the play of light and dark; carefully controlled moments of intensity and quiet shadow. The bright first floor bathroom has a huge sheer glass ceiling that contrasts with the intense atmosphere of the living spaces. There is a sensation of being outside; showered in full sunshine or bathing under the stars. Space is carved into the walls throughout for everyday clutter; the T.V. and its cables are concealed behind black glass, the loo roll has its own marble niche; discreet storage fills every spare corner, buried into the brickwork.

This small retreat for a writer had to tuck into the backyard of an historic Tudor house. The clients loved modern design, but they also wanted to respect the material palette of the existing house. The new studio uses a palette of black steel windows, brick and wood to reference the Tudor house, while marrying them with a modern sensibility.

This home in the Mad River Valley measures just a tad over 1,000 SF and was inspired by the book The Not So Big House by Sarah Suskana. Some notable features are the dyed and polished concrete floors, bunk room that sleeps six, and an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings in the living space.

Clean and simple define this 1200 square foot Portage Bay floating home. After living on the water for 10 years, the owner was familiar with the area’s history and concerned with environmental issues. With that in mind, she worked with Architect Ryan Mankoski of Ninebark Studios and Dyna to create a functional dwelling that honored its surroundings. The original 19th century log float was maintained as the foundation for the new home and some of the historic logs were salvaged and custom milled to create the distinctive interior wood paneling. The atrium space celebrates light and water with open and connected kitchen, living and dining areas. The bedroom, office and bathroom have a more intimate feel, like a waterside retreat. The rooftop and water-level decks extend and maximize the main living space. The materials for the home’s exterior include a mixture of structural steel and glass, and salvaged cedar blended with Cor ten steel panels. Locally milled reclaimed untreated cedar creates an environmentally sound rain and privacy screen.

This modern looking cabin sits atop one of Pennsylvania's blue mountains at around 2100 ft elevation. The modern look was achieved with the sloped roof and galvanized continuous corrugated metal panels. The roof is made up of the heavy-duty Matte Black ABSeam panels (standing seam) that come with 40-year warranties. Learn more at http://abmartin.net

The cottage is snug against tandem parking and the cedar grove to the west, leaving a generous yard. Careful consideration of window openings between the two houses maintains privacy for each. Weathering steel panels will patina to rich oranges and browns.
