Art House in the Birthplace of Silicon Valley: Bac

Art House in the Birthplace of Silicon Valley: Back to Front & Inside Out with all Entertaining Spaces Connecting to the Courtyard

When the lot adjacent to their house came on the market a few years ago, the owners saw an opportunity to expand beyond their small house in Palo Alto (leader in cutting-edge technological development). From the street, the volumetric arrangement of this new house builds on the blocky vernacular of the existing residence – a generic assemblage of unadorned builder boxes.

Inside A Poised Penthouse Oasis Above the Commotion of London’s Central City Life

Two penthouse apartments were built on an existing site at the highest point of this London suburb, allowing for an impressive view across the city. The carefully tailored units were joined to become one and the project was recently completed by interior designer Sean Cochrane.

This is What a Combination of Energetic Wood, Delicate Stone & Glass is Capable of at the Selva Alegre Residence in Ecuador

Selva Alegre was created to take inspiration from its surrounding environment: the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. The project was seen as a modern version of the historic Spanish hacienda that dominates the mountainous landscapes from Columbia to Peru. The principal objective was to examine and reinvent the user experience of these centuries-old weekend escapes.

Super-Yacht Stewardess Turns Wedding Photographer Turns Artist: These Textured & Intuitive Paintings From Stuttgart Balance Chaos with Calm

Says Jaime Danielle Smith: « My work is influenced by symbols of renewal, starting over and constant change. The multiple layers that enrich my paintings reflect my life experience – composed as phases being in a state of flux. I want the viewer to be able to look at the painting on different days, in different moods and to discover different things. »

‘Let Nature Dominate & Use Architecture to Frame the Experience’

This resort-style guest venue, originally built as a winery in the mid-70s, is dedicated to wine and food. The estate’s facilities had deteriorated and become outdated. Opportunity met serendipity to become a deliberate union of context and intent, and to become a home for Flowers Vineyard & Winery’s hospitality house.

Quinta da Marinha is one of the most prestigious and exclusive areas of Lisbon and Cascais. Tucked away between the sea and the mountains of the Sintra‐Cascais Natural Park, this neighbourhood includes privileged landscape views and a special tranquillity and safety.

Close to the most beautiful beaches of Cascais, a 5-minute bicycle ride from the town’s centre, 10 minutes from the exotic Guincho Beach and less than 30 minutes from Lisbon, the area is as idyllic as the home’s interior.

Like a Barnacle Clinging to its Precarious Perch in Big Sky, Montana

The residence is organised by two massive 45-centimetre-thick, perpendicular, board-formed concrete walls which cleave the house and extend into the landscape to the north and south. The interior palette of materials is minimal and focused on natural materials and finishes. Montana landscape colours are brought into the interiors, with refined furniture, luxurious fabrics, and silk area rugs brought into their spaces. Custom art glass lighting and feature windows creates the final sparkle.

A 1960s Residence is Reimagined and Hovers Over a Nature Reserve in California’s Bay Area

Affectionately dubbed the ‘doughnut house’, it had an open area in the centre containing an internal courtyard – entering the home involved first walking through and underneath it, followed by a spiral ascent to the main level courtyard. ‘We’d never seen anything like it!’ the owners say.

The original home, built in 1965, ‘was really interesting and very awkward at the same time,’ recalls architect Steven Stept.

Dynamic Views & a Tactile Quality of Light Become the Amplified Phenomena at this Latitude Above Miami’s South Beach

Ocean Drive is a 568-square-metre single floor condominium unit within a new residential tower overlooking the Atlantic in Miami Beach, Florida. The clients are based in Seattle and travel often, but have deep roots in the panhandle and had been looking to return home. To accommodate a family of six, this down to the slab renovation combined two smaller units to create a five–bedroom retreat on the beach.

This Sensational Example of Tropical Minimalism in Hawaii Adopts Sliding Wood Screens, Carved Walls & More

Alongside a lava flow dating from 1801 on the leeward coast of Hawaii (Kohala), this residence’s modern interpretation of indigenous island architecture connects the clients to nature, the region and its culture.

The spaces between the pavilions are as important to the experience as the pavilions themselves. This exploration of void or emptiness, which the Japanese call ‘Ma’, sharpens focus on what the definition of space itself is, our relationship to it, and what remains. The result is an aesthetic the architects describe as tropical minimalism.
