HufftFor this house “contextual” means focusing the good view and taking the bad view out of focus. In order to accomplish this, the form of the house was inspired by horse blinders. Conceived as two tubes with directed views, one tube is for entertaining and the other one for sleeping. Directly across the street from the house is a lake, “the good view.” On all other sides of the house are neighbors of very close proximity which cause privacy issues and unpleasant views – “the bad view.” Thus the sides and rear are mostly solid in order to block out the less desirable views and the front is completely transparent in order to frame and capture the lake – “horse blinders.” There are several sustainable features in the house’s detailing. The entire structure is made of pre-fabricated recycled steel and concrete. Through the extensive use of high tech and super efficient glass, both as windows and clerestories, there is no need for artificial light during the day. The heating for the building is provided by a radiant system composed of several hundred feet of tubes filled with hot water embedded into the concrete floors. The façade is made up of composite board that is held away from the skin in order to create ventilated façade. This ventilation helps to control the temperature of the building envelope and a more stable temperature indoors. Photo Credit: Alistair Tutton

Matthew MacCaul TurnerA bachelor with an ambitious project, and plans to start a family, called on me to convert a rundown apartment building into his dream home. This stunning city dwelling is the result of my love for New York townhomes, with European influences and modern flair.
Marlene Wangenheim AKBD, CAPS, Allied Member ASIDThe corner of a mahogany library became the cover page to a Morris county, NJ magazine featuring home libraries. The true mahogany wainscoting and chairrail created a welcoming space to sit and read or listen to music. Furniture and window treatments were custom added to create an old world look. Window treatments were fabricated from cashmere wool. The wallpaper and fabric valance are from the Ralph Lauren collection.
Hoedemaker PfeifferThis remodel of an architect’s Seattle bungalow goes beyond simple renovation. It starts with the idea that, once completed, the house should look as if had been built that way originally. At the same time, it recognizes that the way a house was built in 1926 is not for the way we live today. Architectural pop-outs serve as window seats or garden windows. The living room and dinning room have been opened up to create a larger, more flexible space for living and entertaining. The ceiling in the central vestibule was lifted up through the roof and topped with a skylight that provides daylight to the middle of the house. The broken-down garage in the back was transformed into a light-filled office space that the owner-architect refers to as the “studiolo.” Bosworth raised the roof of the stuidiolo by three feet, making the volume more generous, ensuring that light from the north would not be blocked by the neighboring house and trees, and improving the relationship between the studiolo and the house and courtyard.

Roselind Wilson DesignThis impressive monochrome kitchen creatively combines practical kitchen features with a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere. The large space includes beautiful ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose, together with a fireplace as the central feature. The open space successfully weaves modern features like metal, timber and marble whilst maintaining the functional elements of the kitchen. The island unit is manufactured in state-of-the-art laminate to ensure a slick contemporary look that is extremely durable. The units were chosen in a stained charcoal/graphite oak to marry with the bronze and laminate and offset with Carrara marble.
