Edelweiss House

This home, on two acres, near Mazama in the Methow Valley, was sited to take maximum advantage of a south-facing orientation. Its horseshoe shape creates a courtyard between the wings of the home which is cooler in the summer and cozy with a fire pit in the winter. The home’s design highlights the indoor/outdoor relationship that characterizes Methow Valley life. Andrew Giammarco Andrew Giammarco The twelve-foot-high bank of windows and NanaWall in the great room face southwest and provide transparency through the home, while framing valley and mountain views. The interior wood ceiling extends out through the overhang above the veranda, further drawing the eye out and bringing in the outdoors. The roof height was intentiona... More

Wisconsin Cabin

Resolution: 4 Architecture designed this modern prefab cabin for a rural wooded site in Door County, Wisconsin where modular construction simplified the logistics of building on a remote site where reliable labor is not always available. Surrounded by trees filtering dappled light onto the site, this two-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers a tranquil setting for its owners. The design provides connection to the outdoors with the implementation of multiple covered deck spaces. Natural light is abundant inside as a result of the butterfly roof design that allows for tall ceilings and clerestory windows. @Resolution: 4 Architecture @Resolution: 4 Architecture @Resolution: 4 Architecture @Resolution: 4 Architecture @Resoluti...

Modern on the Prairie

We named this home Modern on the Prairie. Certainly, Pa Ingalls didn’t design this one. We designed it in a Modern architectural spacial design by using vertical and horizontal planes to create the spaces. No post and beams or headers. Its flat roof helps further expresses the planes. There -are- some classical elements to it: it’s symmetrical and the forms create the space vs random  arrangements made in some modern architecture.  Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Spacecrafting Photography Our Modern on the Prairie has the feel of a classical home with how the forms were arranged but is oh, so modern. We also designed the f... More

Casa Cesari

Architecture expresses itself through form. The identity and interests of a building are implicit in its physical expression, its character is defined by the way people and even nature react to it. Michela Locci Michela Locci Michela Locci mnda studio The language of silence, architecture communicates through color, shape, texture and function. In this project located in the province of Milan, we paid particular attention to the surrounding context.

Medical Center JUVIGNY

The lack of medical services in the countryside in France has been increasing in the last decades leaving its population in medical-less limbo, in cases taking more than an hour journey to reach a doctor in case of necessity. Thus, the mayor decided to build a small medical center in order to propose doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, etc… to come and practice locally. David Foessel David Foessel The site chosen for the project is located in the middle of the town, right in from of the church and market square, just next to a new park. The project had to integrate the access to the park as a condition for its making. David Foessel David Foessel The program for the medical center includes 3 doctor’s cabinet... More

DASH Home

The DASH Home is a true forever home, designed to accommodate both the current lifestyle of a young family and the future needs of the parents as eventual seniors and empty nesters. The home is located in a traditional suburb where front porches, picture windows, and two-car garages are not so much features as they are values—symbols of happy domesticity and community. Our clients lived a few blocks away from their new address in a 1950s tract home, and while they sought a more accessible and more artful home, they cherished the iconic domestic spaces of middle-class suburbia. They had two specific requests: the new home needed to permit easy circulation within it even as they aged, and construction needed to preserve the mature trees... More

Teddington Park

Riverview sits on a one-acre site in the heart of Toronto’s Hoggs Hollow neighbourhood, and it did not come without its challenges. The main issue was how to access this immense property. The frontage of the lot is just 23 feet and considering 50% of this would be taken over by the driveway, where was FrankFranco to put the garage? If the studio was to put the garage, as most people do, at the front of the home, it would dramatically compromise both curb appeal and the streetscape. Caption Studying this issue forced the studio to go back in time and understand how other homes in this area were constructed, some of which were authored by significant designers. This study led FrankFranco to put the driveway on the north side, clos... More

Bijou Shop in Tehran Grand Bazaar

When we were commissioned with the interior design of this jewelry store, we contemplated how to create a unique showroom that would possess both distinctive elements and an integrated unity, while providing an innovative space for visitors to explore. Parham Taghioff Majid Jahangiri The main concept of the design is as if thousands of years of gold discovery are revealed in a single moment. In response to the excessive and chaotic nature of neighboring shops, we created a dual contrast between glow and darkness, fuss and silence, cubic stone slabs with straight and sharp cuts, and organic cavities on rough surfaces and corners. It is as if along a narrow and dark corridor, the store’s walls have thickened, and irregular sc... More
