Home of the Week
Home of the Week: Boundary Bay Residence
Seaside restoration.
A stunning restoration of a house built in the 1990s by Daniel Evan White, who was an acolyte of Arthur Erickson and translated the West Coast Modern idiom into a slick contemporary style.
Lookout House by Faulkner Architects
Built to last.
It was built with minute attention to the climate and geology of the region, both conceptually and practically.
Podere Navigliano by Ciclostile Architettura
Antique chic.
Crete Senesi—Italian for “Sienese clays”—is the region in Tuscany where Ciclostile Architettura, a Bologna-based firm, completed this award-winning project.
Bézier Curve House by Bortolotto
Curvilinear contemporary.
“A lot of people affiliate contemporary architecture with the boxy shape, but I don’t think that shape has to define the style,” Bortolotto says.
Point William by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects
The point as progress.
A sense of process animates this home as one moves between the floors and through the outside spaces.
Floating House by Arno Matis Architecture
East meets west.
A facade of mahogany slats is inspired by the way branches provide shade yet allow sunlight to enter, creating the inside-outside blurring that both West Coast Modern homes and many East Asian styles are famous for.
The Rock by Gort Scott Architects
Sediment of emotion.
A staid brutalism flirts with airy woods, with the percentage of both varying from room to room, as if a dualism is playing out in the materials.
House of the Nuns by Mário Martins Atelier
Grace in design.
A beautiful sculptural home in Lagos, Portugal that blends seamlessly with the old city, concealing a modern oasis inside.
