FROM THE PUBLISHER One of the world’s most iconic Modernist residences is the Glass House (1949) by Philip Johnson. A single volume, surrounded by woodland, it is an essay in minimalism, transparency and reflection. In the decades since its construction, it has inspired architects and design enthusiasts to explore similar themes. @DavidJideas facebook.com/
While it is overly simplistic to label any glass-walled home a derivation of Johnson’s work,
TrendsPublishingUSA
the subject of the cover story of this issue of Home & Architectural Trends – a jewel of architectural engineering that clings precariously to the side of a cliff overlooking Queenstown, the adrenaline capital of New Zealand – is close to the spirit of the Glass House. This gravity-defying home is as dramatic as the scenery it surveys. In complete contrast, but equally impressive, we take a close look at a Montana home that sits at the other end of the architectural spectrum – an oversized residence built in the rustic style of mountain ski lodges. Further on, we present several traditional homes in a variety of sizes and styles. From the shingle-sided houses of the East Coast to an impressive Italianate villa, they illustrate the many faces of traditional design. This issue closes with a portfolio of contemporary architecture by some of the genre’s most respected practitioners Our Trends publications are also available as eBooks. This exponentially increases the potential audience for our featured designers and advertisers. Our readers benefit from the enhanced multimedia experience that eBooks provide, and of course, the environmental footprint of our publications is minimized. Visit our website, www.trendsideas.com.

Commanding perspective Designing a house to fit in with a dramatic landscape is all about the big picture – architecture that does not compromise the setting and vice versa
grand designs
Off the edge With its soaring roofline, immense glass walls and pyramid form, this new house takes its cue from the fractured peaks beyond Preceding pages and right: This glass-walled house appears to emerge directly from the rock face on a mountain high above Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, New Zealand. Jagged Edge takes the form of a large glass pavilion, supported from above by steel bars. A steel portal leads out to a cantilevered terrace and an elevated heated pool. When the pool is not in use, the water level is automatically lowered to allow a pool cover to slide across.

There can be no competition when it comes to the sheer grandeur of the Remarkables, the awe-inspiring mountain range set against the sparkling blue waters of Lake Wakatipu. But a new house in Queenstown challenges every preconceived notion of alpine architecture. Jagged Edge defies convention – there are no gabled rooflines, and there is no framing of the view from a house nestled back into the hillside. Rather, the house steps forward to become an intrinsic part of the view. With fully glazed walls soaring to a height of 30ft at the sharp end, it is possible to see straight through the house,

Above: Reaching for the sky – the glass walls of the pavilion soar to a 30ft-high peak at the front. Above right and facing page: The perceived lightness of the walls belies the engineering behind the scenes. The steel bar supports are secured by 65ft-long rock anchors.

which at times makes it near invisible, says owner-developer Julian McPike. “It is difficult to see the house from the other side of the lake,” he says. “The glass blends in with the trees and the mountains and the building simply vanishes from sight.” The pyramid form of the glass pavilion echoes the fractured nature of the mountain peaks – a feat only made possible by the tension structure. Ten steel roof bars that resemble cables connect to six 65ft-long rock anchors to support the building, which is exposed and consequently subject to a high wind loading.

A steel portal at the front of the pavilion is also instrumental in carrying the load of the facade. The portal frames an opening out to a cantilevered terrace and an elevated infinity pool lined with stainless steel. But it is the height of the glazing, and the angled prow of the building that creates the real drama on the inside. “The glass walls rise so high that they dwarf everyone inside,” says McPike. “Standing beneath the soaring ceiling is a little like being dwarfed by the enormity of the mountains themselves.“
Above: To maximize the view, the entire house is open plan – even the suspended mezzanine bedrooms are open to the floor below. Customdesigned pendant lights fill the void without providing a distraction. Right: Tunneled into the rock face, the wine cellar is a cave with a polished concrete floor. The excavation exposed seams of quartz within the schist.

“Because the ceiling rises to such a height, there is an uninterrupted view of the tops of the peaks, even from the back of the living area.” To ensure all rooms maximize the view, the house is almost entirely open plan. Living areas are on the ground floor and bedrooms are on a mezzanine suspended within the pavilion – this entire floor is supported by the roof and a central double-column structure. “The living area is also essentially a wooden platform floating between the glass walls,” says McPike. “The effect is amplified at night by lights on the floor around the perimeter of
the space. Premium hardwood in a light shade without any knots was chosen to enhance the pale, clean-lined look.” McPike also chose to let the view speak for itself – there are no artworks to detract from the outlook, apart from a large, illuminated glass sculpture beside the stairwell. To reinforce the pared-back architecture, an island bar unit is raised from beneath the floor when required. A white-lacquered kitchen, with tall black cabinets either side, is positioned at the rear of the living space. With a large island and bar stools, it is designed for easy entertaining. The
house also has a subterranean wine cellar carved out of the rock – a natural, textural antithesis of the sleek glass and steel. Mezzanine bedrooms are symmetrically positioned either side of the central axis, and all have views. A small reading room between the master suite and second bedroom affords a view right through the two structural columns in the centre of the house. Even in the minimalist bathrooms the emphasis is on the outlook – the tub in the master suite is aligned with the view. Comfort is also assured, along with energy savings, despite the massive mount of glazing.
Top and above: An island bar is hidden beneath the floor when not in use, but can be raised as required. The large plasma television sits within a recess so it appears flush with the wall. A custom-designed cooling system prevents the television from overheating. The red display cabinets within the white structural columns provide one of only a few color accents in the house.

McPike says temperature changes are scarcely noticeable inside, as the walls feature 0.86in-thick structural glass, comprised of a laminate sandwiched between two 0.4in panes. The insulation is greater than a standard residential system, and there is also a low-e coating on the glass that increases the r value. “Sunshades are provided at the rear of the house only, but because the house faces south, the direct sunlight does not pose too much of a problem. And the air conditioning is seldom used in summer, with passive cooling provided by cross ventilation.”

To save even more energy, the house is fully wired as a smart home, with an occupied and unoccupied mode. With the latter, the water heating is shut off and the house goes into stand-by mode, says McPike. “The house monitors itself, ensuring the temperature inside remains between 50°F and 86°F. This safeguards materials and furnishings from the temperature extremes of the climate.” The landscaping was also designed with the environment in mind. Schist walls and native plants help to ensure that the house, although distinctive, blends with the natural landscape.

Designing a home in a mountain resort can mean conforming to guidelines on architectural styles. However, it is possible to step away from the upscale rustic cabin forms typical of such developments, particularly when there is an alternative structural precedent to follow. For this house – by architect Barry Gehl and builders Rob McRae and Todd Thesing of Highline Partners – the owners wanted a design that would respond to resort restrictions but have a contemporary feel. The developer of this community had a new home guideline, that followed the rustic Montana look, says Gehl.
Above: Gabled roofs and shiplap siding abound in this Montana house. However, this is only half the story – an exposed frame and specific structural treatments evoke the look of old mining buildings that once dotted the area. The three guest suites are to the right, with the great room and circulation tower to the left.

Left and above: An exoskeleton of chunky wood beams and extended rafters leads the eye beyond the house and invites contemplation of its structural makeup. The open design, combined with large sections of glass, allows vistas right through the house to the mountains beyond. Glazed pocket doors 12ft high and 18ft wide retract into a cavity between the indoor and outdoor fireplaces to merge the interiors with the alpine environment.

“However, mining industry structures were also once common in this landscape and we chose to reference these strong, raw forms instead to create a more edgy, modern feel.” To this end, the house was designed with a dramatic, highly visible wood structure that extends beyond the footprint of the interiors in some places, much like a wooden exoskeleton. Rob McRae says Gehl and the structural engineer worked through several possibilities to arrive at the intricate combination of raised shed roofs, supporting trusses and beams. “Diagonal steel tension members set into
giant trusses in the great room guard against seismic activity and winds. The chimney on the fireplace is steel, clad in stone, and this also anchors the house against lateral movement.” The exposed structure approach carries over to the connected buildings, too. “Of course, the other prominent material is glass, allowing the front of the home to open up to the views,” says Gehl. “On the street side smaller, cutout windows help create privacy.” The exterior walls are finished in shiplap siding, specially dried in a microwave kiln to prevent warping in the dry alpine environment.

“The exposed structure naturally forms part of the interior aesthetic as well, with the look of the beams and stonework extended by slate and oak floors,” says the architect. “We introduced an industrial accent with the waxed metal finishes on the fir cabinets, some large door entries and the stairway.” In terms of layout, the house steps across the mountainside, with the position of each build element optimizing views one way and privacy the other. Part of the brief to the architect and builder was to site the house so family and guests would be able to ski in and ski out.

The segmented house comprises the great room, a four-level circulation tower – calling to mind a mine shaft tower – a master bedroom, four guest suites, garaging, and ancillary spaces, such as a ski-tuning room. Enclosed walkways connect the various spaces. The great room encompasses a dining area, kitchen and sitting room. Giant 12ft-high glass doors retract into a slot between the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, opening the interiors to an outdoor living area with an in-ground spa. “The tower accesses the garage at the first floor level, then the great room, followed by

walkways to the guest suites and master bedroom and finally, a study on the top floor,” says Gehl. “However, climbing the stairs isn’t the only way to reach the top of this tower. “A local specialist in competitive climbing walls was asked to create one here for the stair tower. This had to be suitable for both novices and experienced climbers and have two selfarresting rappeling stations. We also stepped the wall away from the windows – this prevents any swinging accidents,” says McRae. Furniture choices further the back-country mining aesthetic and the contemporary accent.
The dining table is made from a large, uneven wood slab, while the angled corner cabinet was designed by the architect along modern lines. A year after building was completed, the house was retrofitted with a geothermal heating system, which draws on the warmth of the ambient ground temperature via 15 225ft-deep wells. In a semi-remote area served mainly by propane gas, this has resulted in savings of 75% on power bills. See, save and share this story online at trendsideas.com/us2908p20

traditional variations
Look both ways This large shingle style house presents a strong, simple facade to the street, but on the other side opens up two light-filled wings to the scenery In the coveted, established environment of Cape Cod, any remaining undeveloped lots are likely to be awkward in shape and orientation. However, site constraints such as these can also be a stimulus to architectural invention. This house overlooks the saltwater Oyster Pond near the tip of Cape Cod. The residence was designed and constructed in the classic shingle style by Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders, with architect John DaSilva at the helm. It is rare property becomes available in
this area. The owners were lucky, but the location had challenges, says DaSilva. “While the site seems broad enough from the waterfront, the buildable portion, after zoning and wetland setbacks, was tight – a triangular plateau down from the street and uphill from the waterfront.” The owners loved the rambling nature of shingle style architecture and asked These pages: Wood shingles cover the gambrel roof, flared eaves and walls of this seaside home. A porch and columns signal the formal entrance.
DaSilva to create a gracious, casual home in an eclectic version of this style. Shaped in part by the site, the final design offers two quite different faces. “The central gambrel-roofed portion, with its tall peaked window, faces the apex of the buildable triangle and contains the entry, staircase, garage, mud room and laundry – spaces that don’t require a water view,” says the architect. “Two wings, set back from the central mass, angle away to fit into the triangle and to rotate the rooms within toward the water views.”

33
“On the waterfront side of the home, the gambrel disappears and becomes a full two-story linear bar connecting the rotated end pavilions and maximizing windows that face the view,” says DaSilva. “Both pavilions, or wings, have their own roof shapes and individual character. I cut first and second floor porches into the central bar to gain covered outdoor spaces and add character and variety. “Essentially, the house offers a vertical character to the street, the tall form and central pillars leading the eye to the front

entry. On the other side, the house has a long, low horizontal emphasis, with both wings featuring uninterrupted bands of windows to take in the water views and warmth of the sun.” While the house boasts many classic elements of shingle style architecture – the wood shingle sidings, low massing, the gambrel or barn-like roof-form, large porches and flared eaves – it also has more playful character accents, says DaSilva. “The gambrel street facade includes a central window with a peaked arch and a

fanlight pattern that is almost a Gothic Revival element. Below this the formal columns are crowned with a simplified leaf cap, a classic architectural device. “Around the other side of the home, the balustrades have a wave-like pattern and there is also a whimsical mermaid weather vane, standing atop a cupola at the end of one wing. Although these inclusions are not textbook shingle style, this architectural language does provide a broad umbrella that can accommodate eclectic elements.”
While the formal entry is signalled by the front porch and columns, the actual front door is to one side of this niche, its asymmetrical location dictated by the internal flow of the home. On the inside, a custom board and batten ceiling and curved soffit help organize the entry hall and direct the eye down one of two long corridors – the first leading to the service side of the interior, the kitchen, laundry and mud room, and the second leading to the dining room and covered porch straight ahead. A stairway
is also directly off the entrance space. The house is designed for summer living for a family of four, plus older parents who occupy a self-contained apartment in a wing of its own. This has a private entrance with its own character but also enjoys a direct connection into the house and onto the waterfront porch. Below the apartment is a children’s playroom with access to a swimming pool and terrace area. These are nestled into the low point of the site to protect them from the wind.
Preceding pages: The entry hall, complete with a dual-axis batten feature ceiling, organizes pedestrian flow into the interiors. Above left and top: The adjacent dining and living rooms are demarcated by different ceiling treatments and area rugs. Interior colors are beige and cream, reminiscent of the location. Above: The playful choice of a Gothic Revival-style window on the street side of the house is repeated in the living room as peaked wall niches, window frames and cabinets.

Preceding pages: A traditional paneled kitchen was an appropriate inclusion. Small windows in the perimeter cabinets echo another shingle house feature – grouped upper, or clerestory, windows. These pages: The master bedroom has its own private deck, accessed by French doors. The generous decking, French doors and uniform white paintwork are all typical of the historic architectural style.

The wing at the opposite end of the house contains the living room on the ground floor and the master bedroom on the second floor. In contrast to the historic architectural exteriors, the interiors are contemporary and open plan. DaSilva says traditionally interiors of shingle style residences were darker and felt more enclosed – shored up against adverse coastal weather. The open interiors naturally bring several benefits, affording water views from most areas of the public spaces and flooding natural

light through the home. There is even a glimpse from the front door right through the house to the blue saltwater pond. “We did include some design nods to the architectural style indoors, such as a v-groove raised ceiling over the dining table. This treatment might have been more widespread in a classic interior, on the walls as well as the ceiling.” Heart pine floors throughout the house are another a unifying element. These are in recycled wood as there’s no old-growth material left, DaSilva says.
Above: A playful mermaid weather vane stands watch on a cupola at the end of the wing housing the apartment. Directly below is a children’s playroom. The white Doric columns seen on the entry porch are repeated on the sheltered decking leading out to the pool.

Turkel Design for Lindal Cedar Homes
By special request A lively New Orleans flavor was introduced to this home, which was completely transformed by award-winning Rob Osborne and his team at Details Consulting Group
Preceding pages: This Southern Indiana home has undergone an extensive renovation by Details Consulting Group (DCG), to better suit the lifestyle of the new owners. Above: Formerly a dark and rather uninviting space, the entry foyer is now light and bright, and open to the rest of the house. Dark-stained beams draw the eye up to the gabled ceiling. A new balcony loft was created opposite the mezzanine area to provide a sense of symmetry.

Serendipity can sometimes put you in the right place at the right time, bringing about a change that can transform your life – and your home – for the better. That was precisely what happened for the owners of this home. The couple visited the Louisville Home, Garden & Remodeling Show and happened to meet Rob Osborne, owner of Details Consulting Group (DCG), and the rest, as they say, is history. After touring one of the DCG Details Home Showcase homes, the couple commissioned DCG to undertake an extensive remodel of the
view article online at trendsideas.com/go/40918
house they had recently bought. Although it was only nine years old, the home did not ideally suit the owners’ love of entertaining – nor did it reflect their love of New Orleans. They consequently asked Osborne to visit the home and paint a picture of what he would do to make their home feel like the showcase home they had visited. “I walked through the front door and could immediately see the opportunities to transform the house into a showcase home that would meet their needs,” Osborne says. “The first and most obvious decision was to open up the entry
foyer, which felt closed off and uninviting.” The subsequent transformation reflects the meticulous standards that define all projects by Details Consulting Group. In the entry foyer, a curved wall on the upper level was removed to expose a mezzanine area, and dark-stained beams and iron balustrades introduced. For visual balance Osborne also added a balcony loft with a customized stained glass door. To open up the entry further, the walls between the foyer and dining room were replaced with columns. This increased the size of the openings to the kitchen and great room.
Above: Remodeling the entry foyer was one of the most visible changes undertaken by Details Consulting Group. Walls were removed to open up the dining area to the foyer and provide an easy flow. The SolidPlus™ engineered oak flooring is by Somerset Hardwood Flooring. Left: The new kitchen is designed for ease of entertaining – the owners can socialize with guests while preparing meals and drinks. DCG also created a second kitchen within a scullery.

Preceding pages: The family, dining and kitchen area is now one large great room with picturesque leafy views and plenty of natural light. Above: All DCG work is defined by strong attention to detail, which can be seen in the handcrafted millwork in the new wine cellar. The room not only provides display shelving for wine bottles, but also includes a tasting table. A warm red ceiling adds a lively touch that hints at the fun elements in the adjoining bar.
48
An archway was introduced to frame the entry to the great room. “This changes the way you experience the entry,” says Osborne. “It draws you into the new kitchen and entertaining area. To create this large space we also removed a structural wall between the original kitchen and sitting room. There is now an easy flow between all these spaces, which makes the whole house work better for the owners.” SolidPlus™ engineered oak flooring made in the USA by Somerset Hardwood Flooring also enhances the visual continuity.

To provide a scullery behind the main kitchen, the extra-large laundry room was split into two rooms. This still left enough space for a large laundry room as well as the scullery. “Details Consulting Group has a mission to make life better for our clients,” says Osborne. “This philosophy determined every aspect of the design and was the reason we paid so much attention to the finer points of the design.” Much of this is evident in the renovation of the lower level of the house, which incorporates vintage and French influences reminiscent of New Orleans.

La dolce vita Authenticity defines the architecture of this Italianate house, but the formal grandeur of the interior is tempered by an engaging touch of whimsy and a sense of playfulness

Integrity is a word often used by architects, but it is most aptly applied when an established architectural style is being reinterpreted for modern living. For architect Dan Nepp of TEA2 Architects, a commitment to integrity and authenticity informed the design of the Italianate house featured on these pages. “The house is on a large lot in a prestigious Minneapolis suburb,� says Nepp. “The neighboring properties feature stately, gracious homes and this house needed to complement the scale and picturesque quality of the
Above: A formal symmetry reinforces the grandeur of this Italian-style villa designed by TEA2 Architects. But although the arched openings to the loggia are large and enhance the substantial presence of the house, they are balanced by the intimate scale to the private balconies and rooms on the second level. Left: Entry to the house is through the front loggia, which is furnished with drapes, a rug, and inviting sitting areas.

surroundings. A Mediterranean architectural style was favored by the owners, and it needed to be authentic in terms of its scale, materials and detailing. Strong, classical forms were essential, to balance the expected flourishes and enrichment of the interior the owners planned.” The formal gated entry leads to a large courtyard that follows the Italian tradition, harking back to a time before cars. These can be parked around the side of the house, ensuring that the formal grandeur and symmetry of the exterior are not compromised. Walls and columns are of stone – the precise
more new homes at trendsideas.com/go/usha
pattern and size of each block was defined by the architects and laid with fine quarter-inch joints. And each arched opening features a carved keystone set in the authentic manner. Further evidence of the attention to detailing can be seen in the traditional wood-lined eaves and carved wood rafters that enrich the transition from stone walls to tiled roof. Nepp says the architecture was also driven by the owners’ desire for an atrium-style grand salon – a feature inspired by the great glazed barrel vaults often seen in historical railway stations in Europe.
“The owners’ desire to have this open, airy space at the heart of the home drove the design,” he says. “The other rooms needed to wrap around this internal courtyard – this helped to determine the formal symmetry of the architecture.” The architect says the owners’ desire for generous loggias at both the front and rear of the house was another design influence. With casual outdoor furniture and drapes softening the arched openings, the front loggia creates an inviting, glamorous entry. A touch of whimsy is also evident at the
entry, where two verses of a poem are etched into the marble floor. “We always recommend owners inject their own personalities into their home, and it was especially appropriate for this home that the owner’s fun, welcoming personalities were evident right from the entrance,” says Nepp. The entry is also designed to draw people through the house – there is a visual axis right through the grand salon and out to the loggia and landscaped gardens at the rear. “Natural light spilling into the grand salon draws you through,” says the architect.
Above: A whimsical poem is etched into the marble floor in the entry. The sense of arrival is further enhanced by the view through the house to the outdoors. Both the outlook and the light help to draw people through to the grand salon. The owners chose a mix of new and salvaged light fittings for the interior, all of which are in keeping with the Italian look.

“The layering of spaces means that despite the openness of the grand salon, the entire home is not revealed at once. Rather there is a suggestion of something more beyond.� The sense of anticipation is reinforced by a fusillade of open spaces defined by monumental stone columns, which lead through to the grand salon. Here, as the name suggests, everything is on a grand scale – from the soaring glazed barrel roof, windows and doors, to the stately columns and the scale of the furnishings, which include glittering chandeliers, large sofas and a 12-seat dining table.
Another unexpected and somewhat playful feature is a floating room suspended high above the salon at one end. Like a house within a house, this lantern-style structure features glazed walls that provide expansive views. “The owner had her heart set on a special room that would seemingly float at the end of the grand salon,” says Nepp. “The sensation of floating would be further heightened by two hanging daybeds.” Nepp says it was important that all the rooms surrounding the grand salon could take advantage of the natural light and airy quality.
The salon is consequently open to the kitchen, family room and sunroom. The attention to interior detailing can be seen in all these spaces, which reflect the owners’ unique style. An elaborate, armoire with a hand-carved, gilded cornice and painted Tuscan columns anchors the main kitchen, and custom carved lion legs introduce a touch of whimsy to the substantial island. “Much of the interior design was about breaking away from convention,” says Nepp. For example, the family room beside the kitchen features a triple fireplace hand carved

Flowing charms Contemporary or classic, or both? The sculptural new Grandera™ collection from Grohe suits all decors Today, informed design doesn’t always fit one distinct category or another. An eclectic decor is also very much in favor. So it makes good sense for a faucet innovator to create a collection that melds gracefully with both traditional and modern looks, and designs that sit in between. Grohe products often attract international design awards on the strength of their stand-out form, attention to detail and the use of highend technologies, says Mike Purcell, director of product marketing, Grohe America. “And Grohe’s new Grandera™ bath collection is no exception. This refined product line merges round and square forms to create an individual ‘squircle’ shape – an harmonious look that suits a range of design styles. “The extensive, fashion-forward collection includes single and classic wide-set faucets, deck-mounted Roman tub fillers and floormounted fillers; coordinated overhead showers and hand showers.” Grohe has also created a matching range of white porcelain accessories – everything from soap dispensers and beakers to shower shelves. Products in the collection are available in two sleek finishes, chrome and brushed nickel. “Both finishes are scratch resistant and never lose their shine, even when subjected to heavy use and frequent cleaning. The collection features Grohe SilkMove® technology for a lifetime of smooth operation and precise handling.” Grandera™ is manufactured in Germany to exacting quality standards. “Grandera’s™ fluid forms complement any bathroom decor, whether it is clean-lined and minimalist or more traditional,” says Purcell. For more information, visit the website: www.grohe.com/us.
Left and above: The new Grandera™ collection from Grohe merges square and round profiles to create a distinctive, hybrid form. The soft, sculptural profile lends a sense of fluidity and grace to any bathroom. Options include Roman tub fillers, single-lever faucets and classic wideset faucets.

Home from the sea This shingle style house owes its air of permanence and prosperity to the finely crafted woodwork that is an echo of the days when these homes were built by ship’s carpenters

Preceding pages: Wood shingles, an asphalt roof and copper roof turret are the main exterior materials on this Eastern Seaboard home.

Shingle style homes seen along the Eastern Seaboard evoke a sense of dignity and privilege. Emerging from the 1880s to 1910 as a reaction to overly fussy Victorian architecture, the now classic Hamptons look does exhibit a wealth of fine detailing of its own, reflecting the skill of the craftsmen who built the homes. This wood shingle house was designed by architect John Malick for his sister. The brief was for a home much like the one seen in the movie As Good as It Gets, says Malick. “In response, I created a two-story house that reflects many elements seen in Hampton
more new homes at trendsideas.com/go/usha
homes, referred to as shingle style architecture,” says Malick. “Besides the wood siding, features include a copper-roofed turret, intersecting gambrel roofs and a porch facing the water – complete with Neoclassical Doric columns, crowns and beadboard ceilings. Other touches are multiple eaves, a small porch over the entry, coach lights and the use of clerestory windows. “Here, the carport at the side has the look of an old coach house with elliptical arches, and siding that follows these curves.” “While the attention to proportion and dignified architectural forms are nods to classic
Roman structures, other aspects of these designs are more pragmatic responses to the immediate environment,” says Malick. “For example, the house is constructed largely in wood, the most readily available local material. “Orienting the porch and the turret to face the ocean also has an historic precedent – in times past this would have been invaluable when a family might have been watching for their ship and its cargo to come in.” The interior of the home is as closely detailed as the exterior and also provides an indication of another local influence.
Above and left: Substantial ceiling beams and cross braces, delicate inset column panels, and complex cornices all deliver a wealth of detailing. Painting all these features white defers to the classic Hamptons style and avoids the detailing looking too busy. The living and dining areas are set behind the porch to take full advantage of the outlooks and cooling breezes.

“Prominent ceiling beams, paneled interior beams and touches such as the newel post with a raised cap and chamfered corners on the staircase all point to highly developed woodcrafting skills,” says Malick. “In the 1900s it was often ship’s carpenters who were building these homes, and the construction and finishes were an opportunity to showcase their talents.” Despite its presence, this traditional home is less than 3000sq ft in size, smaller than many other houses in this style on this coastline. “For me it is not size, but authenticity that gives a house substance. The fact that it is in a

smaller home can make the detailing there is seem that much more special,” Malick says. In terms of day-to-day operation, the living spaces and kitchen are on the ground floor, with the master suite occupying a wing at the same level. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms, and a study in the turret. “This layout means the owners won’t have to use the upper story much when they’re older, future-proofing the home,” the architect says.

The architectural history of Albemarle County, Virginia stretches back over 200 years, and comprises stately homes in Charlottesville as well as plantation-style farms in the outlying rural areas. This new home, deep in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, can be viewed as an abstracted farmhouse, rooted in the regional vernacular, but unquestionably modern.
more new homes at trendsideas.com/go/usha
Architect Robert M Gurney says that the relationship of the home to the landscape in which it is situated informed all aspects of the design. “From the outside, it’s all about how the simple form of the house relates to the rolling pasture on one side, and the woodland on the other. You can see right through, so there’s an unbroken visual connection to the landscape.
“We oriented the house to the southwest, which means that sunlight comes into the main living pavilion any time of the year. “Inside the house, the transparency – especially in that main volume – means you are visually engaged with the surrounding environment at all times.” The interior scheme further enhances this engagement.
These pages: Flanked by two smaller volumes – one houses the garage and a screened porch, the other contains the master suite – the large central pavilion has walls of glass on both sides. Viewed from outside, this uninterrupted sightline fully integrates the built and the natural elements. Inside, Therese Baron Gurney selected furnishings that were understated, versatile and comfortable to reinforce the underlying agenda of relaxation and appreciation of the rural setting.

Therese Baron Gurney says, “This is, first and foremost, a family home. My intention inside was to continue the easy-going design that Bob created on the exterior. The finishes and furnishings were selected with this in mind.” Inside the main volume, walnut kitchen cabinets on one end are echoed by the panels cladding the opposite wall. The space between is filled

with comfortable furniture in simple lines and a warm, muted color palette. “As a vacation home, the interior elements must be versatile, yet very cohesive; that means things can be moved around and still look unified,” she says. The black stools at the kitchen island and chairs at the dining table can be placed wherever extra seating is
required. Similarly, any of the tables and chairs can be moved onto the terrace for outdoor entertaining. “All our projects start with the site,” Gurney says. “Our houses facilitate a relationship between the occupants and the landscape. As much as this is a place where the family gathers and plays, it’s also where they can simply and quietly enjoy the surrounding beauty.”

There is something about a welcoming entry that’s guaranteed to lift the spirits – for family and guests alike. It’s a concept architect Charles R Stinson is very familiar with, and one he likes to introduce to all his projects. For this house, it’s a long, park-like driveway, a collection of low flat roofs reminiscent of a village, and a lantern-style tower shining like a beacon that invite you in. “We also added a trellis walkway leading up to the house,” Stinson says. “The low height gives the entry a very human scale and ensures it is not too intimidating. This axis runs right
through the house to continue on the other side, reinforcing the connection between inside and out. Beyond the house it becomes a vertical trellis that cloaks an outdoor stair tower near the pool, and then continues horizontally.” The link between the indoors and outdoors is also enhanced by the material selection. Local stone features on the paving, columns and high blade walls that pierce through the horizontal planes of the house to form chimneys. Wood is also used extensively inside as well as out, with ceilings lined in cedar, floors laid in walnut and cabinets manufactured in Australian walnut.
“The entire house is a layered composition of individual forms, planes and materials, from the stone and wood to Venetian plaster, metal and limestone,” the architect says. “It is a very clean palette where each material is respected, and serves to create a greater harmony.” Stinson says the materials also meet the owners’ requirement for modern architecture that would be warm and inviting. A light-filled, open-plan interior was another requirement. With windows soaring the full height of the great room, there is plenty of natural light. But the direct rays of the sun are kept at bay by large

internal soffits that extend through the walls to form the roofs of the alfresco living areas fronting the pool beyond. “The soffits also help to keep the living spaces intimate, and they reinforce the strong geometry of the house,” says Stinson. “Studies have shown that such horizontal lines have a leveling role to play – they help to ground the architecture and create a more comfortable living environment.” Opposing these forms are the towering stone blade walls at either end of the great room. These house fireplaces, including a double-sided

fireplace between the dining room and study. Flat white planes above these fireplaces appear to float off the stone walls. The floating analogy also applies to the kitchen, where a bank of overhead cabinets above a window seems to float above the glass. In contrast, the kitchen is anchored at either end by large walnut-clad volumes that house large appliances and pantries. A sense of transparency provides vital visual connections within the house as well as to the outdoors. An open stairwell ensures the link is vertical as well as horizontal.
Above: Cedar planks line the ceiling of the great room. The different living spaces within this large space are defined by grouped seating and built-in cabinets.

Above: Even within the generously sized great room, there are intimate spaces, such as the dining area. The double-sided fireplace is open to a study on the other side of the stone chimney wall. The dining table was custom made for the family from two long wood planks joined by brass connectors in four places – a reference to the number of family members.
84
But the focus of the architecture is just as much about the alfresco living spaces – thanks to a temperate climate that allows the owners to spend much of the year outdoors. Large sliding doors in all the living rooms and the master suite open up to the pool landscape and the covered outdoor seating areas. There is also a double-sided fireplace that serves the master bedroom and alfresco living area. “Essentially, the house wraps around three sides of a Zen-garden poolscape,” says Stinson. “Here again, low trellis walkways help to organize the space and give it a more intimate

scale. The extended soffits merge with the trellis to continue the horizontal plane.” The outdoor staircase provides easy access from the exercise room, bedroom suite and games room on the upper level. The architect added a tiki bar to one side of the pool, complete with built-in grill and an outdoor table and chairs. The room behind accommodates a pool shower, changing facilities and plant equipment for the pool. With its stone walls, metal fascias and wood accents, the bar forms an integral part of the overall architectural composition.

When your home features a succession of views – first a waterway, then an isthmus, and at last, the ocean – it is a nice touch to bring a little of the drama inside. A central courtyard pool can create the pleasure of a body of water on two sides of the living spaces. This contemporary house by architect James Choate, celebrates just such an idyllic setting – nestled on prime real estate fronting a lagoon only a bend away from the Pacific Ocean. Given the location and land value, the house makes the most of its placement by reaching nearly to the borders of the lot, says Choate.
“Because the street is close by, privacy is important, so I designed the front of the house as a series of abstract solid forms in tinted stucco, rich wood, and glass. This strong, compositional form also plays down the scale of the house to passers-by.” At the far end, facing the water, the design angles out on the lower level to follow the bend in the lagoon. The upper level, in contrast, steps back to a straight rectilinear form, allowing space for a triangular master bedroom deck. A cutout roof overhang echoes the shape of the deck and adds to the contemporary aesthetic.

When the front door is open, there is a view through the central courtyard – complete with large pool – and the living spaces at the far end, out to the lagoon. “The jetty side of the house is open plan and the pool really does create the feeling that you are surrounded by water,” Choate says. Blessed with a mild Los Angeles climate, the house has two characters. The living area pocket doors retract to make one continuous flow of indoors and outdoors, and the water views, while on the upper level similar doors slide back to open the master bedroom to the deck.

Above: The abstracted aesthetic continues on the interior with a clean-lined, freestanding wall element separating bedroom and bathroom. A soffit ceiling adds to this sensibility. Grooves in the floor show where the commercial-level pocket doors slide back into the wall. The home’s central void acts as a thermal chimney drawing cool breezes through the open doors on both levels. In this mild climate the bedroom fireplace is more an attractive decorative feature.

Similarly, the general living areas can be opened up to the central pool as well. All these operable doors can be closed for privacy when required, and motorized blinds lowered across all glass exterior walls. A blind also shields the master bedroom from the courtyard below. The setting partially dictates the design in other ways, too. The exterior wall of the courtyard is translucent glass, because the house next door also extends to the borders of the lot. This glazing ensures the neighbors, though close, remain out of sight.

Stringent height limits apply in this location, and recent regulations have required the main floor to be raised above ground level to guard against potential flooding. While these factors kept room heights to a quite modest nine feet, the central courtyard is taller than it is wide, adding a sense of verticality to the interiors. The courtyard also acts as a solar chimney, channeling breezes up through the home. “A limited material palette adds to the drama of the rectilinear home,” says Choate. “There are really only panes of glass, structural steel, wood panels and stucco, complemented
by the cool white of the sheet cast interior walls and ceilings. “However, the clean, modernist lines need warmth, too, for a more cozy, human response. To help achieve this, I specified red cedar with a prominent grain, along with the hand-worked beige stucco. I had the stucco tinted rather than painted, to avoid a flat look. Light catching the tint on the surface creates multiple shades, making the texture appear more prominent. For this to be effective, the stucco needs to be applied subtly.” In terms of layout, the residence is quite
conventional, with a run of open public spaces downstairs and bedrooms and a study upstairs. The sculptural feel of the exterior continues on the interiors, which also read as intersecting, or overlapping, planes and lines. In the master bedroom a freestanding vanity element is all that separates the bathing and sleeping areas. On the bedroom side, this appears as a bookcase. “In a sense, the house is an extension of the views that surround it,” says Choate. “The courtyard pool adds one more tier to land meets water meets land.”
Above: The master bedroom, directly above the living spaces, has its own triangular deck looking out to the lagoon, isthmus and ocean beyond. Porcelain non-slip tiles feature on the decking and the pool surround downstairs. The open roof form adds architectural interest and follows the shape of the deck and the lower level, tracing the turn in the river. This home has the last deepwater mooring on the lagoon and a tall sailboat is anchored on the jetty.

Here, there is no interruption between the interiors and the water, unless privacy is required and the blinds are lowered. Bookshelves can be seen on both floors, providing valuable shelf space in a home that favors minimal clutter.

Call of the desert Nature has been left undisturbed by the design of this contemporary house, where separate cantilevered volumes are linked by narrow bridging elements

There is a magical beauty about the desert that is hard to pin down. But it is probably a combination of elements – the relative sense of isolation, the way the light changes during the course of a single day, the unique topography and the flora and fauna that have adapted so well to the climate extremes. All of these things came into play in the design of this house, by Tucson architects Luis Ibarra and Teresa Rosano of Ibarra Rosano Design Architects. The house is in a subdivision, but on a
large lot of more than two acres. Privacy from the neighboring properties was just one aspect that helped to determine the architecture, however. Rosano says the topography was also a key factor. The buildable part of the site was split by a natural tributary channel where water drains away to a wash on the western side during the infrequent rains. “We decided to literally bridge the channel by positioning the garage and carport on one side, near the road, and placing the living spaces on the other side.
Above: With its long, low form and neutral color palette, this new house is an unobtrusive addition to the Arizona desert landscape. The house, designed by Ibarra Rosano Design Architects, comprises three linked pavilions – a garage wing, the main pavilion accommodating the living areas and master bedroom and a third wing providing a guest suite and office. The two key volumes are linked by a narrow library room. All the main rooms look out past the pool landscape to the desert beyond. The landscaping includes a cantilevered viewing portal with a deck, which sits at one end of the pool.

“We added a covered bridge to link the two. The orientation of the house was another consideration – we needed to minimize the exposure to the west where the sun’s heat is most intense. At the same time we wanted to maximize the views to the south, southeast and north.” Rosano says the solution was to turn the house perpendicular to the natural contours of the site. This provided the right solar orientation and captured the views. Tall slot windows on the west side of the house minimize the sun’s heat, but

are positioned to frame views of the native saguaro cacti on the hillside. They are also placed to ensure privacy. “Height restrictions in the subdivision meant the house needed to be low,” says the architect. “This worked with the owners’ desire for a single-level residence that would suit them in retirement, providing good accessibility. And in terms of the aesthetics, the design works with the location, and the way you view the horizon in the desert – there is a strong horizontality to the view.”

Designing a long, low house with the maximum possible ceiling height also meant the architects were able to cantilever part of the house over the desert, which creates shade for the numerous desert animals in the area. “The cantilevered elements help with the flow of air across the site as well,” says Rosano. “The deer and javelinas leave tracks in the dirt, so we know they are sheltering beneath the house.” The architects separated the main wing containing the living area and master

bedroom from the guest wing, and linked these with a narrow bridging element that forms a library. “This gives the owners the option of closing down the guest wing when it is not required,� Rosano says. Transparency is another key feature of the house – the design provides a visual axis right through the main living pavilion and out though a sculptural, steel-framed viewing portal beside the pool. Rosano says having openings on both sides of each pavilion also makes it easy to

A contemporary gas fire beneath the cabinetry reinforces the horizontal lines that define the house, both inside and out. Top: A neutral palette was chosen for the interior furnishings, to best complement the desert landscape. However, the design team also took a cue from the landscape, introducing bright color accents, just as the desert flowers burst into bloom at different times of the year.

cross ventilate the house during the cooler months when the air conditioning is not as essential. The interior reflects an appreciation of Mid-Century Modern design. The architects introduced built-in cabinets in rift-cut white oak. For visual continuity, these include an entertainment cabinet in the main living area, cabinets in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. In the kitchen, a freestanding bank of cabinets accommodates the ovens, a coffee center, refrigerator and pantries.

Cabinets on the countertop form an extended small appliance garage. Beyond the kitchen is the library, which connects to the guest suite and office. Top and above: For visual continuity, similar materials appear in the bedrooms. The master suite, for example, features a white oak headboard and night stands, and the bathroom has white oak vanity units. A privacy wall of blue glass mosaic tiles adds another bright accent.

Additional pantry storage is provided in a scullery behind these cabinets. Air vents on the top of the rear wall of the kitchen push air right out over the top of the freestanding cabinets, which makes the air conditioning more effective, Rosano says. A large island serves as a divider between the kitchen and dining area, concealing any clutter but still allowing the owners to socialize with guests. The raised bar top on the island incorporates a series of cabinets with lift-up doors, which provide an extended appliance garage.
The cabinets in the living room also offer plenty of storage, helping to keep the interior streamlined and uncluttered. Visual continuity is further enhanced by concrete flooring throughout – the slabs that form the base of the house also form the floor. Not surprisingly, outdoor living is an integral part of the desert lifestyle. The architects consequently designed an outdoor room between the two wings. The wall beside this area is clad in steel with a pre-rusted patina that has been sealed

to avoid rust residue leaching. A modern gas fire brings warmth to cool nights and winter days. Rosano says the wall provides privacy, but is not so high that the view of the hills is blocked. Views to the city lights are maximised with the elevated deck of the viewing portal, which also forms another outdoor room that can be staged for intimate dinners under the stars.
