This Palo Alto Eichler renovation by Klopf Architecture took five years and three phases to complete. The clients are an executive mom, her two young children and their dog. Rather than erasing what makes Eichlers distinctive, the redesign celebrates it. A larger kitchen now opens onto the great room. New floor-to-ceiling glass connects the living […]

SP Architects designed this modern Shou Sugi Ban house in Rye for a family trading city life for coastal New Hampshire, where the surf is good year-round and skiing, biking, and time on the water fill the calendar.  The 4,000-square-foot home was built above the 50-year flood zone and to high-performance energy standards, so it […]

Kevin Browne Architecture designed this cedar-and-glass mountain retreat in Stoneham, Maine, as a ski-and-bike getaway that will become a full-time retirement home.

Perched in the hills of Copake, New York, this stunning property consists of four post-and-beam barns relocated from their original sites.

The barns […]

The half-acre lot is so steep that the […]

Fairy house pumpkins transform an ordinary pumpkin into a tiny storybook cottage, complete with arched doors, glowing windows, twig chimneys, and mossy rooftops. Lit from within, they look like a woodland […]

Jim Morrison Construction then brought the design to life. Lahontan lies in a quiet Sierra Nevada valley, just a short drive from Lake Tahoe. The architects, therefore, shaped the house around […]
