The simple floor plan remains, two angled volumes however have been created that slope away from each other. At this slippage point translucent panels are clad onto the framing that capture natural light and bring it down into the work spaces-play becomes practical. The building otherwise is heavily insulated and almost windowless to reduce exterior heat gain and minimize cooling needs. When opened, a hydraulic hinged door for the helicopter projects from the wall onto an otherwise overhang free building. It provides shade and rain protection on days when it is desirable to work partially outside the hangar. An object in the landscape, the building’s dynamic geometry intentionally contrasts the predominantly planted site. 4 shades of green and 4 shades of blue that clad the exterior of the hangar mimic the variation of vegetation and sky colors under sunlight through the day. These specific green or blue fields on the building disappear into the sky or surrounding flora at particular times of day, creating a playful moment of hide and seek across the savannah.

They wanted a destination on the 40 acres of former grazing land, now being restored to native prairie. This land is open to public visitors and the extended family for observation, contemplation and rest among the hills and grasses; a non denominational chapel for all comers. It will be used for memorials, celebrations and other ceremonies in addition to the other activities. continued below>>> <img

The original full length arched trusses are precision recut and assembled with raw metal plates to produce the new composite curved frames. An open, continuous 2 foot wide gap in the ceiling becomes the entry in the south facing wall, leaving the interior partially exposed to the elements. When a visitor enters the weathered and small geometry through this gap, they abruptly encounter the wall of another room, a porous slatted envelope made from charred, reused cedar siding. This slatted wall system was typical to corn drying cribs widely used in the past around the midwest. Instead of one open room, like a standard farm shed, the tactic for this structure is to insert one type of altered farm building inside another altered building; creating a journey inside a seemingly simple form on the exterior-- like a russian babushka doll revealing further entities as you pull it apart. The wood charring is a japanese technique to provide a fire resistant outer layer to the wood, a preburned effect that tempers immediate flammability. The prairie is maintained and kept healthy by burning it every few years to allow new seeds to sprout forth and clear away dead vegetation. So in addition to this charred wood, to make the building fireproof during these burns, it is covered in corrugated metal and surrounded by a 3 foot gravel walk local limestone gravel, which is also the interior floor of the building. This produces an acute awareness of one’s footsteps moving through the space, either to the central benches for viewing the sky, or the to the side aisle where a steel window looks out over the prairie, framing its expanse into a smaller picture. Snowstorms and full moon nights are expected to be very magical nights within the space. A nearby by solar panel provides minimal electricity for LED strips that line the base of the walls, producing a faint glow in the room at night. The new materials on the project are the concrete foundations, screws and steel structural plates that bind the wood and corrugated panels together as well as to the foundation.

Banding together with several fellow water skiers, they purchased agricultural land and modified an existing artificial lake to be used for water skiing/slalom course racing. The house sits in and on a berm dredged from the bottom; the design thus engages the lake in multiple ways. This elevated perspective in an otherwise flat surrounding topography provides a view of the 1/2 mile watercourse from end to end. continued below>>> <img

defined areas; i.e. guest wing, public/fraternal spaces, master bedroom. A metal roof hovers above these 3 parts to encourage circulation movement from one space to another. The roof design also provides shade to the lakeside terrace adjacent to the lap pool, while simultaneously capturing and directing the water-cooled breezes through the upper transom windows of the living space. This "free" and passive conditioning reduces the use of mechanically driven conditioning. Rain collection from the valley of the roof is directed to an underground reservoir to be used for irrigating the native-planted landscape. Maximizing the covered spaces between the wings, exterior fireplaces on one side and an exterior shower off the master bedroom take full advantage of the Florida climate. Materially modest components such as corrugated roof SIP panels, concrete floor, Stucco over insulated concrete form blocks, board form concrete wall finish, aluminum clad windows, cloth roll down shades make for simple and lean construction: a suitable response to the client’s request for a dramatic, humble, inexpensive, low maintenance, yet inspired shelter.

It is in a small town ½ mile from the Atlantic Ocean in South Florida. The owners will house operations and executive apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floors, as well as lease out ground floor office suites. The client and architect brief was for a sustainable and surprising building respectful of the existing modest small town fabric, yet resonating more profoundly upon further interaction and exploration by user and passerby. continue below <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 06-1.jpg" width="670" height="419" width_o="1440" height_o="902" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 06-1_o.jpg" data-mid="2095649" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 8_1440.jpg" width="670" height="421" width_o="1440" height_o="906" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 8_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095651" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 9_1440.jpg" width="670" height="496" width_o="1440" height_o="1068" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 9_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095652" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 9night_1440.jpg" width="670" height="479" width_o="1440" height_o="1030" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_view 9night_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095653" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/TERRACE_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/TERRACE_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2169172" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/CONFERENCE_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/CONFERENCE_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2169167" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_site plan_1440.jpg" width="670" height="477" width_o="1400" height_o="998" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_site plan_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095648" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/CONF_1440.jpg" width="670" height="435" width_o="1400" height_o="909" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/CONF_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095644" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/entry 3-1_1440.jpg" width="670" height="430" width_o="1400" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/entry 3-1_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095645" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OBLIVIOUSdiagram_1440.jpg" width="670" height="430" width_o="1400" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OBLIVIOUSdiagram_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095646" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/tj_off_1440.jpg" width="670" height="542" width_o="1440" height_o="1166" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/tj_off_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095654" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_PLANS_1440.jpg" width="670" height="430" width_o="1400" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/OH_PLANS_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="2095647" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/jatropha-seed-sprout2_900h.jpg" width="500" height="900" width_o="500" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/459547/jatropha-seed-sprout2_900h_o.jpg" data-mid="2063385" border="0" align="left"/> Conceptually, the building is comprised of two distinct looking volumes; the plain, main volume is an inchoate “seed pod” and the smaller, wriggling shape a “sprout,"--a metaphor of the company itself. Viewed from the street this main volume mimics massing of the existing building and attempting to quietly replace this deteriorated structure. A play of subtly articulated walls and window awnings, the main street frontage acts as a compass that measures the sun’s daily path across it’s white surface. The casual inhabitant would notice people using the rooftop garden throughout the day as perhaps the only real change. This modest street face is designed as a foil, as one discovers pulling into the rear parking lot or passing through the main street side lobby: Rather than tracing the sun’s path, the expressive sprout is fully covered in indigenous plants that harvest sunlight for their vitality. Solar panels are house on top of this structure, harvesting sunlight for the rest of the building’s electrical requirements. Local zoning limits 3rd floor coverage. This piece is a formal response/play of a full third floor turned on end and inserted into the ground and 2 story building, preserving a first floor garden space and itself becoming another garden specimen growing from it and clinging onto the main building. The building is targeted for LEED Gold rating. In collaboration with Raymond Jungles Landscape Architect.

These elements are articulated in both the street and rear facades of the building. Street side apartment floors undulate in and out to resist being a singular mass, create shade and balcony space. The first floor has a minimal footprint and raised ceilings that keep the mass of the building light next to the street. The rear facade inner courtyard is filtered with predominant breezes and morning light. Core structure/services and living spaces are placed central to the site, based on a simple concrete slab and column system. The design aims to counter the monolithic, lot filling developments that are too frequently seen along the streets of Lima as the city becomes more dense with building mass. This structure is a complex, 3-dimensional, sparkling geometry that shines on the edge of a grassy opening. continued below>>> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_1_900h.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_1_900h_o.jpg" data-mid="1271687" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_2_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_2_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271688" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_3_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_3_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271689" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_4_900h.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_4_900h_o.jpg" data-mid="1271690" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_5_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_5_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271691" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_A_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_A_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271692" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_6.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_6_o.jpg" data-mid="4745055" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_C_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_C_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271694" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_D_1440.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_D_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271695" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_B_1440.jpg" width="670" height="418" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/293014/AJAP_B_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1271693" border="0" align="left"/>The program locates social spaces with amenities at both the bottom and top of the building, between which reside 16 varied residences. On the first floor accessed by the front entry and parking garage, a gym and sunken rear water garden are linked to a physical and earthly realm. The rooftop terrace is a place of escape and breezes; to converse with the sky. Residents will have access to a pool and spa, outdoor showers, pool table/tv bar lounge, as well as a putting green accessed through a forest of trees/benches that overlooks the blue Pacific Ocean. Long days and nights are spent here. 13 stories of living rooms and master bedrooms are wrapped in cast glass panels whose surface design is based on the geometric pattern of a golf ball. The "dimpled" glass provides rounded, cinematic views as well as privacy behind obscured glass. Integral to the clear glass is a phototropic element that dims and lightens shading on the north facade, relative to the amount of solar radiation. This system will provide continuously changing views and light from both interior and exterior throughout the year. On each floor a number of these windows are operable, which in combination with operable south windows located in the wind capturing, L shaped courtyard provide passive cooling in each unit. This effect is boosted by the sunken water garden that provides evaporative cooling up the face of the structure. The building design is governed by sustainable principals, which include grey water systems, extensive roof solar panels, solar heated pool, daylighting, 50% recycled material use. It will be built to equal US LEED standards. Residential living should provide moments of audacity, moments of serenity--the locations in which to be gregarious or those in which to retreat and introspect. 973 AJAP will provide the inhabitant a fertile spectrum in which to discover life's potential.

original plans but never executed, now clings to the natively planted hillside, defining the limit of expanded outdoor living space and void below. 3 bedrooms are located off a common corridor facing west to the hillside, making for consistent, calm morning light. A seamless addition to the master bedroom projects the house further out into space - reemphasizing the overall horizontal composition of the building. From this room and the open plan dining and sitting areas large expanses of fixed and sliding glass welcome framed panoramic views that include downtown Los Angeles and Catalina Island.

Electric needs are met by solar pv/battery storage with generator backup. The pond is used for geothermal conditioning for all buildings. Toilets are biocomposting, fresh water is drawn from the well, any grey water is returned directly to the ground water table. The Huts are an orthogonal construct, providing a welcoming frame and contrast to the“untamed” surrounding wilderness out in which the active guest passes the day from morning till days end. Their inspiration derives from fold up campers commonly towed throughout the West during holidays -- touching the land lightly and easily mobilized. Jack in the box-like they rise to expand to a third floor. Vacant, the hut is a compact two story structure, designed to reduce heat loss or gain, protect the structure from trespassing and minimize the visual weight amongst the surrounding flora. When entered by a guest, at the flick of a switch, electric motor driven hydraulic arms raise the cowl surrounding the first floor, exposing fully glazed perimeter walls and simultaneously creating the third floor king bed suite. After the Hut is cleaned and readied for the next guest, the cowl is again lowered into its two story position.The huts are augmented by the nearby restored ranch buildings which provide showers, evening meal, guide services, classrooms, equipment storage/lockers, administration and parking.
