When Nathan Fell of NFA (Nathan Fell Architecture) first spoke with Eric Roland, the client for this New Orleans front porch addition, there were a few things about the project summary that would normally have stood out as red flags. The budget was only $50k, the project scope was very small, and it was going to be DIY (Roland was to self-perform as the General Contractor).
This home was inspired by “Kintsugi”, the Japanese art of filling cracks in old and worn pottery with gold. It is a remodel and addition project at the base of the Colorado Rockies. We transformed an old, cramped kitchen, living, and dining space into a seamless, modern main level.
Barefoot House by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects embodies simple, tactile, and understated beauty. The clients envisioned a home where their growing family could connect deeply with each other and the natural surroundings. To achieve this, the architects centered the design around the concept of “barefoot meandering.”
Adam Knibb Architects took on the challenge of extending and refurbishing Trevally House, a beloved period dwelling. Their goal was to create a unique, contemporary addition without losing the home’s existing charm. To achieve this, they replaced an old conservatory with a modern ground floor extension that spans the entire width of the property.
Dry Creek Cabin by Fieldwork Design and Architecture sits 2,200 feet above the Columbia River Gorge in White Salmon, Washington. The architects embedded the cabin into the hillside, allowing the roof to float above the landscape. Consequently, this design creates a quiet, almost invisible facade from the road, blending the cabin seamlessly with its natural surroundings.
House MD by Didonè Comacchio Architects stands gracefully on the outskirts of Bassano del Grappa, nestled at the entrance to the Valsugana and at the foot of the majestic Grappa massif. The architects skillfully placed the building partially embedded in the ground, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the sloping terrain.
Queen Anne House by DeForest Architects beautifully merges Tudor Revival charm with contemporary design. The owner, an artist, envisioned a home where her family could create and appreciate art while reinterpreting historical elements. The house’s classic proportions, intricate woodwork, and vibrant stained glass provided the perfect foundation for her creative aspirations.
Nine-Square Bondi House by Madeleine Blanchfield Architects transforms a small block in Bondi into a vibrant urban oasis. Located in a densely populated area, the house connects seamlessly with the street and the community while maintaining the residents’ privacy.
