Pineapple House Interior DesignPineapple House Interior Design
Although our offices are based in different states, after working with a luxury builder on high-end waterfront residences, he asked us to help build his personal home. In addition to décor, we specify the materials and patterns on every floor, wall and ceiling to create a showcase residence that serves as both his family’s dream home and a show house for potential clients. Both husband and wife are Florida natives and asked that we draw inspiration for the design from the nearby ocean, but with a clean, modern twist, and to avoid being too obviously coastal or beach themed. The result is a blend of modern and subtly coastal elements, contrasting cool and warm tones throughout, and adding in different shades of blue.

Enduring Domain ArchitectureEnduring Domain Architecture
Our design solution was to literally straddle the old building with an almost entirely new shell of Strawbale, hence the name Russian Doll House. A house inside a house. Keeping the existing frame, the ceiling lining and much of the internal partitions, new strawbale external walls were placed out to the verandah line and a steeper pitched truss roof was supported over the existing post and beam structure. A couple of perpendicular gable roof forms created some additional floor area and also taller ceilings. The house is designed with Passive house principles in mind. It requires very little heating over Winter and stays naturally cool in Summer.

Жилой дом в Чеховской р-н.
Жилой дом в Чеховской р-н.
Лариса СавельеваЛариса Савельева
Жилой дом 250 м2. Жилой дом для 3-х поколений одной семьи. Бабушка, дедушка, родители, семья дочери , сын большая собака. Особенность дома в том, что он состоит из двух независимых половин. В одной живут старшие родители ( бабушка и дедушка). В другой родители и дети . В каждой половине – своя кухня, несколько санузлов, спальни, имеется свой выход на улицу. При необходимости одна из половин может быть полностью закрыта, а вторая при этом продолжит функционировать автономно. Интерьер дома выполнен в светлой позитивной гамме. Уже на этапе проектирования были продуманы все зоны хранения , работы и отдыха. Это позволило сократить количество мебели до минимума. Одним из условий было – соединение под одной крышей всех возможных функций загородного участка. В зоне, являющейся соединительной между половинами дома находится большое пространство с бассейном с противотоком, баней, комнатой отдыха, небольшой постирочной. Основные декоративные элементы интерьера находятся в двух гостиных. В половине старшего поколения - это двусветное пространство с уютной лежанкой на антресолях, небольшая печь – камин, акцентная стена с декоративной нишей, где стоят милые мелочи. В большой гостиной основной части дома – разделителем между кухней– столовой и гостиной служит очаговый камин, открытый на обе стороны, что позволяет любоваться огнём и из столовой, и с дивана. Камин –не только декоративный. В холодные зимы он хорошо помогает радиаторам поддерживать тепло в доме. Фасады стилистически перекликаются с интерьерами. Дом облицован серым декоративным кирпичом и имеет нарядные вставки из яркой керамической плитки . Элементы участка - детская площадка, беседка – барбекю, мастерская, даже собачья будка выполнены в общем ключе . Их рисунок подчинён дизайну основного дома. Весь участок с постройками , растениями , дорожками, прудиками очень гармоничен и создаёт полностью законченную композицию.

Joe McGuire DesignJoe McGuire Design
Aptly titled Artist Haven, our Aspen studio designed this private home in Aspen's West End for an artist-client who expresses the concept of "less is more." ⁠ In this extensive remodel, we created a serene, organic foyer to welcome our clients home. We went with soft neutral palettes and cozy furnishings. A wool felt area rug and textural pillows make the bright open space feel warm and cozy. The floor tile turned out beautifully and is low maintenance as well.⁠ We used the high ceilings to add statement lighting to create visual interest. Colorful accent furniture and beautiful decor elements make this truly an artist's retreat. --- Joe McGuire Design is an Aspen and Boulder interior design firm bringing a uniquely holistic approach to home interiors since 2005.

Renovation of an old barn into a personal office space. This project, located on a 37-acre family farm in Pennsylvania, arose from the need for a personal workspace away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. An old barn used for gardening storage provided the ideal opportunity to convert it into a personal workspace. The small 1250 s.f. building consists of a main work and meeting area as well as the addition of a kitchen and a bathroom with sauna. The architects decided to preserve and restore the original stone construction and highlight it both inside and out in order to gain approval from the local authorities under a strict code for the reuse of historic structures. The poor state of preservation of the original timber structure presented the design team with the opportunity to reconstruct the roof using three large timber frames, produced by craftsmen from the Amish community. Following local craft techniques, the truss joints were achieved using wood dowels without adhesives and the stone walls were laid without the use of apparent mortar. The new roof, covered with cedar shingles, projects beyond the original footprint of the building to create two porches. One frames the main entrance and the other protects a generous outdoor living space on the south side. New wood trusses are left exposed and emphasized with indirect lighting design. The walls of the short facades were opened up to create large windows and bring the expansive views of the forest and neighboring creek into the space. The palette of interior finishes is simple and forceful, limited to the use of wood, stone and glass. The furniture design, including the suspended fireplace, integrates with the architecture and complements it through the judicious use of natural fibers and textiles. The result is a contemporary and timeless architectural work that will coexist harmoniously with the traditional buildings in its surroundings, protected in perpetuity for their historical heritage value.

容積規制の厳しい敷地面積26坪での駐車スペースと中庭を内包した4人ご家族のための住宅の計画です。 50%の建ぺい率より建築可能な面積は13坪。 この制限の中から立体的な建築可能ボリュームを逆日影計算を行い算出した他、道路斜線天空率や壁面後退緩和、車庫の容積不算入緩和等を活用し獲得可能な最大容積を確保しました。 最大限の外皮を設定した上で、建築面積制限に収まるよう垂直に外部空間(中庭)を挿入。 その外部空間を軸として内部空間を配置し、内部空間においては水平垂直に空間相互の繋がりを設け、伸びやかな空間を実現しました。 リビングから段差なく続く中庭、上下をつなぐ吹抜、中庭のシンボルツリーには鮮やかな黄色い花を咲かせるイペを植えました。 シンボルツリーはリビング・ダイニングや寝室・キッチン・浴室等、生活の様々な場所から見え隠れし、四季を感じることで生活に潤いを与えます。 外部の駐車スペースにおいては壁面後退敷地を有効に活用するため4m×3mの跳ね出しスラブとし無柱空間を実現しています。 これは駐車スペース上部の壁面全体を固めて高さ2mの梁として計画することで  意匠が構造の「かたち」も担う合理的な計画によって、特殊な工法を用いること無く、耐震等級3を取得しています。 写真:三木 夕渚/ZEROKOBO DESIGN
