The space of the apartment is not limited within the physical layout, the city surrounding the building becomes part of it and the added facade glazing only maintains the comfort of the indoor climate, connecting the city into an extended peripheral perception.
Originally a farm-workers’ dwelling, Cherry Tree House is one of the oldest buildings in Harpsden, a village outside Henley on Thames and has been home to our Clients, a family with three young children, since 2016.
Claywood House, a new 5-bedroom low-carbon home has been designed to meet the needs of a wheelchair dependant client and to create spaces that allow her to live independently.
This project was also a personal one for Archier as Chris, one of our directors is the clients’ son, which meant family gatherings focused around talk of the house and its construction.
The Montecucco flat is located on the outskirts of the city, on the top floor of a building with a privileged exposure. There is no shortage of light and views, and it is from this light, the great ally of every designer, that we started.
The clients for this project live abroad, and sought a Canadian homestead — an anchor — for their large, young family. During summer and winter holidays, the parents wanted their children immersed in an Ontario landscape like the one in which they were raised.
The Desert Palisades residence is located in the last hillside enclave of Palm Springs, newly open for development and slotted for architecturally significant homes.
