Arboreal House is a project designed by MacCracken Robinson Architects. “Our introduction to the Tahoe site was in late winter on a clear sunny day with filtered light and long shadows through snow laden fir and pine bows. It made a strong impression, stored for future consideration but the impetus for design came soon after the spring snow melt. A powerful sense of horizontal layering of vegetation and various stages of decomposing downed timber on the two acre site, juxtaposed with pine and fir trees and dense canopy of the surrounding forest. The site is located near the historic 1960 Olympic Nordic track and situated on the edge of a wetlands and seasonal stream.” Photography by Adam Potts, MacCracken Robinson Architects.

Colman Park House by Office of Ordinary Architecture
This project designed by Office of Ordinary Architecture started when the owners, living in Texas at the time, stumbled across this hidden gem of a house for sale. While the home is only two miles away from downtown Seattle it fees worlds away thanks to its parkside location. Colman Park, designed by the Olmstead brothers, surrounds the house on two sides and makes it feel like a treehouse in the city. The owners snapped up the home and when they decided to relocate to Seattle full time brought in OOA to help revitalize the 1940s house. Photography by Emily Keeney.
Cabin House by Rusafova-Markulis Architects, PLLC
Cabin House designed by Rusafova-Markulis Architects, PLLC is situated on a wooded suburban lot in Asheville NC. It was designed for a couple who moved to the mountains from a big city looking for a more relaxed lifestyle, more time outside and daily connection to nature. They wanted to downsize and pair down their possessions to the essentials. That desire for simplicity carried over to the concept for their home. We were asked to provide a cozy, simple shelter in the woods that feels more like a cabin than an every day city home. Being on a budget was another constraint that dictated many of the design decisions. Photography by Ryan Theede, Lissa Gotwals.

The White House by MW Architects
The White House is a project designed by MW Architects. At the top of Highgate Hill an old white house faces the entrance to Waterlow Park and overlooks the distant city of London beyond. Its unassuming frontage could be easy to miss, nestled between two much larger more recent buildings on either side and some of the illustrious properties found in the neighbourhood. But behind this little white facade lies a fascinating piece of London history, which MW Architects have gently uncovered and bought back to life. Photography by French & Tye.

Slabin Residence by Christopher Jeffrey Architects
Slabin Residence is a project designed by Christopher Jeffrey Architects. Time had taken its toll on the existing house that was constructed in the 90’s and needed some serious attention. The Client’s had lived there for several years and loved being surrounded by the adjacent farmland and the sense of place it provided. They decided to pursue a project that combined the complete renovation of the existing structure and the addition of a new main bedroom wing. The new pool, patio, pergola, and vegetable garden create a serene environment in the rear of the property. Photography by Chris Foster Photography.
