Form and function both drive the solution. We employ the term "performance": a hybrid definition that doesn’t discriminate between use, organization, and form. We free ourselves from the debate over whether architecture is an art or a tool. Art performs; tools perform. Art can be boring, tools can be beautiful. We create collaborations Architects should nurture teamwork. We replace authorship,"I made this thing," with the notion of collaboration: "We fostered this process." Communication is critical. We  ensure clients and architects are speaking in a common language at all times. We identify the core issues facing our clients and establish shared positions from which we can collectively evaluate the architectural proposals that follow. Responsibility realizes the solution. Architectural invention is more powerful with responsibility. We design with attention to processes of contractual relationships, budgets, project schedules and procurement. We believe constraints reveal the solution. Engaged intelligently, limitations of budget, schedule, code, politics, sustainability and site conditions are opportunities that can inspire innovative solutions. Pro bono work in our community provides local solution. We participate in the 1% program, donating 1% of our budgeted billable hours annually. The 1% program creates a forum for “existing public interest work and pro bono architectural practice, with an ultimate goal of increasing the quality and quantity of that work.” Sustainability is essential to the global solution. Sustainable design creates both economic and environmental value. Sustainability is anchored in the same tenets that produce good design and is inherent in our work: the essential characters of the site itself, the arrangement and location of buildings relative to solar orientation, winds, topography, and the choices of building systems and material palette. We educate clients on the sustainable potentials of projects, both as part of good environmental stewardship and good business.  We provide solutions. Form and function both drive the solution.

Spare in its 3,600 square feet, the house and its materials manifest the surprise of a beachcomber’s serendipitous and precious finds—of worn beach glass, an abandoned marine vessel, or an ephemeral pattern in the sand—and a riff on spontaneity and permanence. Completed in 2004, the house embodies the same complexities and dichotomies that characterize Jupiter Island. At once modern and timeless, the house is both a quaint coastal cottage and a chic isle villa. The cerebral geometries of the house are complemented by the pitched nautical dynamism of a structure perched on piers and railings, ready to set sail at a moment’s notice. continue below>>> Fullscreen <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_11_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_11_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221365" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR4a_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR4a_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1219225" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_8_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_8_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="4897453" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_12_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_12_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221373" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_2_900h.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_2_900h_o.jpg" data-mid="1227924" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR5_1440.jpg" width="640" height="452" width_o="1440" height_o="1016" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR5_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1219236" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_6_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_6_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1220028" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_10_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_10_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1220053" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR1_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR1_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1219222" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_3a_900h.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR_3a_900h_o.jpg" data-mid="1219229" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_13_1440.jpg" width="640" height="900" width_o="640" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_13_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221374" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_7_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_7_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221375" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_A_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_A_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221409" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_B_1440.jpg" width="640" height="400" width_o="1440" height_o="900" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/13815/283421/BR2_B_1440_o.jpg" data-mid="1221412" border="0" align="left"/>{image 6} The design consciously plumbs the elements of glass, sand and aluminum for their metaphorical and material possibilities in three distinctive “laboratories” for living. Discrete sections comprise: “sand” which encloses the sleeping area, “aluminum” which enlivens the entertaining space, and “glass” which enhances the contemplative living space. Each segment is sensitively oriented to capture light and views. The ceramic fritted glass of the kitchen and dining room lends translucency and visual play to the south-facing two-story entertaining space. The textured face of stucco or “sand” of the north-facing sleeping area underscores the ancient wisdom of worn stone, an apt sensibility for an intimate space infused soft morning light and its concomitant tranquility. Linking the two, the central kitchen area is sheathed with louvers, or “hull”, imparting an affable sense of camaraderie and storytelling. This nexus of glass and sand naturally begets a lively, if not theatrical, space—a stage for entertaining, food preparation and dining. Aluminum louvers below mediate the heat of the day, offering cool filtered light to the west. As evening advances, guests can wander to the rooftop lap pool to take in the views to the east and south. Whether viewed above or below, the compelling gesture of the pool provides a visual and visceral link to the thin wavering line of twilight at dusk, or the vast cerulean midday expanse. While modest, this rooftop “aquatic garden” augments the sense of space externally and internally, while functionally providing a dramatic, convenient and private space for an invigorating swim. During the day, the cool azure of the water is transmitted and transmuted into the living space through skylights embedded in the pool floor. The dynamic interplay of light and shadow invigorates the space below. Denizens are free to take in the marinescape from the rooftop, or through the unobstructed expansive window views of the bulthaup kitchen below where they are comfortably sheltered from chill evening breezes. The kitchen contains generous countertops, offering space for culinary exploration, genial entertaining, or for a tranquil morning of solitude with a strong coffee and newspaper. Situated on the beach, the house affords direct access to the water, reinforcing the immediacy of the relationship to site and the spontaneity of island living.

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.

sliced, then reassembled on a bluff top overlooking the prairie and below, the larger broad valley. 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.
