The journey down a winding road and through a pine tree forest ends at the Buisson Residence. Situated on a grass knoll and commanding views of Lake Anna in central Virginia, the house emerges as a long, white painted brick wall with a copper clad volume cantilevered above the wall.

Design: Salmela Architect. There is the notion in architecture of building upon the foundations of our predecessors both in theory and practice. As is the case with Hall House which seeks to reinterpret/re-imagine what it means to be modern migrants homesteading in a new city.
Design: Hefferlin + Kronenberg Architects. An outdoor gear and clothing mogul and his family came to us seeking to create an indoor/outdoor living compound in downtown Chattanooga. They purchased a 12,000 sf industrial building two doors down from their business headquarters.

Design: Terry & Terry Architecture. This project is an addition to and remodel of an existing mid century ranch house. It was designed for a retired couple, who desired a single-story home with open, accessible space. The addition, located in the rear garden area, is connected to the original structure by way of a transparent hallway that allows the garden to extend into the core of the house.
Design: Travis Price Architects. The home is a path through the West Va hills. The path splits and meanders to know where… to know where nothing is left but self and nature. The cloak of nature and soul are equally in harmony punctured by growth and rebirth all afloat. Swaying trees and swirling winds scoop clouds of water to feed the split trees. A rock opens as a stairway and leaves paths to take in or out.
Design: Travis Price Architects. The home is much like an iPod. As one approaches it is at once a surreal object that stands like a wall, but beckons and then with the slightest movement opens and invites one in. The simple path divides the lower level of auto from the above dwelling place.
Design: (fer) studio. The Kim Residence project is an extensive interior and exterior remodel, and a 900 SF expansion of an existing 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom single-story ranch-style home from the 1950’s.
Design: Line and Space – during discussions defining the new facility, it became clear that there were a number of contradictions in the architectural program; the desire to provide a place suitable for active discourse as well as quiet solitude; the ability to enjoy reading in natural light while at the same time offering protection from its destructive nature.
Design: Steven Holl Architects. The School of Art & Art History at the University of Iowa, which also opened in September 2006, is awarded for successfully negotiating its site at the crossing of two orthogonal paths in the campus, at a place where the city grid is interrupted by natural landscape in the form of a small lagoon and a limestone bluff.
Design: Foster + Partners ; Co-architects: Smith Group Inc. Now designated as a National Historic Landmark, the former United States Patent Building building was rescued from impending demolition in 1958 by President Eisenhower
Design: UNStudio Architects. Sadly on February 5th 2008 this family summerhouse in Catskills, Upstate New York was destroyed by fire. The house was a simple rectilinear form floating above landscape, thus evoking seminal modern houses by Mies van er Rohe (Farnsworth) and Philip Johnson in America. The residential building was realised in April 2007.
