Taylor, who’s been visiting this area since the ’70s, wanted the new building draw upon the rich local history of making rudimentary structures out of the materials that people had at hand. Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Have one to share?
A developer and their design team expanded the 1910 structure with a metal-clad box, creating a mix of flats that add housing density to Evanston, Illinois.

Pasadena-based studio Hopson Rodstrom Design ( H/RD ), designed the structure to "embrace" the higher-scale zoning that exists along thoroughfares in areas of the city generally filled with low-lying structures. It also acts as a "chimney" meant to keep the whole structure cool, according to the studio.
Sustainable efforts in the building include a reduction in the use of concrete , as well as raising the building's lower levels to be above the flood zone of the nearby East River. The podium in contrast, which is a six-story triangular podium, we clad that a light grey granite."

Inside are a series of hill-like mounds "The terraced hills rising from the Valley are designed to create a sculpted interior landform that serves as the ground, seating, and shelving – an informal zone with opportunities to relax, talk, or read quietly, all while staying connected to the larger space," said Snøhetta.
The two structures are mirrors of each other and are divided by a courtyard with a privacy wall in the middle Set on 40-foot (12-metre) wide lots, the linear homes measure only 20 feet (6 metres) at their widest, leaving plenty of space for outdoor areas on either side of the house for residents to enjoy.
Structural plywood was used to help reduce the carbon footprint of an Oregon office building designed by Lever Architecture for a nonprofit organisation. Inside, the facility is divided into two primary zones. Additionally, structural plywood mullions were used in the centre's curtainwall system. Developer: project^. ink Studio.
The 1,100,000-square-foot (102,193-square metre) two-building structure was completed in 2023 by Seattle-based studio Olson Kundig on a significant historical site from the Civil War. Operable glass walls are operated via a steel pulley-and-cable system, which can be found in many of Olsen Kundig's past designs. "We
While much of the existing structures will remain intact, Skylab has reworked the layout and is updating the buildings through a strategic set of insertions and modifica-tions. ink Studio Civilengineering: Humber Design Group Inc. Originally built in the mid-1940s for the Titan Metal Products Corp.,
Kids can climb through the tree cover in an all-abilities playground with climbing structures, swings, and natural wood balance elements; while adults can exercise or play bocce in a riparian restoration zone. The previously-derelict structure is now a single-room event venue. Civilengineer: Garza EMC.
The building has quickly become one of, if not the most, visible structures on the Brooklyn skyline. Last year, SHoP principal Greg Pasquarelli told Dezeen in an exclusive interview that the structure, because of its special zoning, "would be kind of like the Empire State Building of Brooklyn." "We
Unlike a fale, we have placed bedrooms in the ‘attic,’ connecting each respective sleeping zone with either the ocean’s horizon or the bush. Our solution was to connect living spaces with the land and sleeping areas to the sky. This released the entire ground floor for flexible, communal living.
We dovetailed original building elements with new millwork, pathways, and technology to create an enfilade of communal and enclosed zones designed to host large events, lingering, chance encounters and focused work." AvroKO is best known for hospitality projects and also designed the Mortimer House members' club in London.
An overhanging roof provides shade "The new structure grounds itself to the earth with its approach to material and form," said GO'C , a Seattle-based firm. The screen walls "filter light and views at the east and west ends of the site, dissolving the structure into the landscape," the team said.
Overhauled for the first time in the museum's 140-year history, the gardens have been divided into different zones with planting and signage that aim to tell the story of life on Earth. The structure cuts between areas with protected tree roots and houses a mix of facilities for scientific work and monitoring, garden maintenance and teaching.
The screened side is made of glass-fibre-reinforced concrete In some areas, the buildings' lower levels are recessed, forming shaded zones around the perimeter. In other areas, where the team needed to preserve a historic canal, the building is lifted above the ground and is supported by thick pilotis. The photography is by Bill Timmerman.
