John Senhauser ArchitectsTaking its cues from both persona and place, this residence seeks to reconcile a difficult, walnut-wooded site with the late client’s desire to live in a log home in the woods. The residence was conceived as a 24 ft x 150 ft linear bar rising into the trees from northwest to southeast. Positioned according to subdivision covenants, the structure bridges 40 ft across an existing intermittent creek, thereby preserving the natural drainage patterns and habitat. The residence’s long and narrow massing allowed many of the trees to remain, enabling the client to live in a wooded environment. A requested pool “grotto” and porte cochere complete the site interventions. The structure’s section rises successively up a cascading stair to culminate in a glass-enclosed meditative space (known lovingly as the “bird feeder”), providing access to the grass roof via an exterior stair. The walnut trees, cleared from the site during construction, were locally milled and returned to the residence as hardwood flooring.

This house had been re built over the past 12 years. We were asked to redesign the attic to create a new master bedroom with a bathroom and a walk in wardrobe.
Lenox House DesignThese modern condo buildings overlook downtown Minneapolis and are stunningly placed on a narrow lot that used to use one low rambler home. Each building has 2 condos, all with beautiful views. The main levels feel like you living in the trees and the upper levels have beautiful views of the skyline. The buildings are a combination of metal and stucco. The heated driveway carries you down between the buildings to the garages beneath the units. Each unit has a separate entrance and has been customized entirely by each client.
Rudloff Custom BuildersWe renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick.

Narofsky Architecture + ways2designThe site for this waterfront residence is located on the
Great Neck Peninsula, facing west to views of NYC and
the borough bridges. When purchased, there existed a
50-year-old house and pool structurally condemned
which required immediate removal. Once the site was
cleared, a year was devoted to stabilizing the seawall
and hill to accommodate the newly proposed home.
The lot size, shape and relationship to an easement
access road, overlaid with strict zoning regulations was
a key factor in the organization of the client’s program
elements. The arc contour of the easement road and
required setback informed the front facade shape,
which was designed as a privacy screen, as adjacent
homes are in close proximity. Due to strict height
requirements the house from the street appears to be
one story and then steps down the hill allowing for
three fully occupiable floors. The local jurisdiction also
granted special approval accepting the design of the
garage, within the front set back, as its roof is level with
the roadbed and fully landscaped. A path accesses a
hidden door to the bedroom level of the house. The
garage is accessed through a semicircular driveway
that leads to a depressed entry courtyard, offering
privacy to the main entrance.
The configuration of the home is a U-shape surrounding a
rear courtyard. This shape, along with suspended pods
assures water views to all occupants while not
compromising privacy from the adjacent homes.
The house is constructed on a steel frame, clad with fiber
cement, resin panels and an aluminum curtain wall
system. All roofs are accessible as either decks or
landscaped garden areas.
The lower level accesses decks, an outdoor kitchen, and
pool area which are perched on the edge of the upper
retaining wall.

exitprojectesDebido a las reducidas dimensiones de la parcela, la idea de la propuesta y principal inquietud de los clientes era el máximo aprovechamiento posible del espacio exterior. Por ello, se plantea una planta baja totalmente abierta al exterior, permeable también al espacio exterior posterior, que en seguida nos sugiere que toda la superficie de parcela se convierte en un gran jardín, fusionándose todos los espacios (jardín principal | vivienda | jardín entrada posterior).
El resto de plantas descansan sobre este gran jardín transparente consiguiendo la sensación de que estas plantas se suspenden y gravitan sobre el espacio exterior. Esto se consigue con unas grandes cristaleras en planta baja que una vez abiertas nos hacen que el espacio fluya y conseguir una máxima relación/ambigüedad de interior – exterior.
La planta baja y planta primera funcionan como grandes miradores enfocados a las vistas de la ciudad de Barcelona.
