Thomas Lawton ArchitectThe Frontier Group; This house is nestled into a mountainside and draws influences from Mountain, European and Asian architecture. The expansive pergola-covered central courtyard has windows on two sides looking out from the dining and living rooms and is balanced by the vertical stone-wrapped stair tower. Beams on the ceiling of the living room continue the lines of the pergola, bringing the geometry from outside through the core of the house and strengthening the inside-outside connection. Holding the loft back from above the northern end of the living room created a dramatic two-story corner window, opening up to the long-range views down the valley and the closer views of the forest.
roth sheppard architectsThis Boulder home speaks to its Agrarian context and the owners desire to merge the vernacular of barns with Cape Cod imagery. Clean geometrical forms are simply clad in wood, stone and metal, creating an aesthetic that is rooted in tradition yet respectful of a contemporary lifestyle.
The interior flows from an open kitchen living concept to a more traditional layout of defined rooms. An artist studio with an exterior eroded stone façade defines one end of the house while bedrooms define the other end as well as the second floor. Invention and whimsy permeate throughout with surprising interventions including an indoor/outdoor fireplace, a seasonal ‘living room’ space, and a hidden sleeping nook at the top of the stairs.

Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio (JMMDS)JMMDS created a woodland garden for a contemporary house on a pond in a Boston suburb that blurs the line between traditional and modern, natural and built spaces. At the front of the house, three evenly spaced fastigiate ginkgo trees (Ginkgo biloba Fastigiata) act as an openwork aerial hedge that mediates between the tall façade of the house, the front terraces and gardens, and the parking area. JMMDS created a woodland garden for a contemporary house on a pond in a Boston suburb that blurs the line between traditional and modern, natural and built spaces. To the side of the house, a stepping stone path winds past a stewartia tree through drifts of ajuga, geraniums, anemones, daylilies, and echinaceas. Photo: Bill Sumner.
Penza Bailey ArchitectsThe client wanted us to design a new custom house on a tight suburban site that would emulate the style of homes found in their native Ireland. Although they were empty nesters, the home was designed with complete bedroom suites for all of their children’s growing families to come for extended visits. The centerpiece of the home is an open gathering space that links kitchen, family room, breakfast room, and sunroom. The lower level of the home boasts 10’ ceilings for the authentic Irish bar, gaming areas, a home theater, exercise room, a wine cellar, and a large train room to showcase an extensive train set and collection of model trains.
