The Clear Lake Cottage proposes a simple tent-like envelope to house both program of the summer home and the sheltered outdoor spaces under a single vernacular form. A singular roof presents a child-like impression of house; rectilinear and ordered in symmetry while playfully skewed in volume. Nestled within a forest, the building is sculpted and stepped to take advantage of the land; modelling the natural grade. Open and closed faces respond to shoreline views or quiet wooded depths. Like a tent the porosity of the building’s envelope strengthens the experience of ‘cottage’. All the while achieving privileged views to the lake while separating family members for sometimes much need privacy.

The Three Falls home is located in Alpine City, a quiet residential community tucked into the foothills of Lone Peak in the Wasatch Mountain Range of Northern Utah. The site straddles Three Falls Creek and is largely wooded with native oak and other deciduous trees with an open meadow and views to the North of the house and views of Utah Lake and Valley to the south. The linked pavilions are expressed as simple vernacular gabled forms which recall the mountain peaks beyond and define the three living areas of the house while being separated by daylit connector ‘bridges’ that create a floating transparency from mountain to valley. The master bedroom and children bedrooms access are separated from the gathering pavilion through the bridge and open stair. Materials for the house center on natural traditional building materials including Indiana Limestone, stained Accoya siding, copper gutters and trim along with a discrete integrated Tesla solar roof tile system that generates 24 kW of sustainable energy to the house. Interior finishes are sophisticated, yet relaxed with Walnut millwork, textural stone, and touches of brass repeated throughout the home.

Custom Contemporary Home Design Wayland, MA Expansion of the original building footprint (the original home was torn down) was not allowed, by zoning ordinance. This meant the design could not add a Garage to the site, which was highly desired. To solve the issue of protected parking for the home, Tektoniks Architects designed a cantilevered roof, which also forms the principle organizing element (a "spine") for the design. A Special Permit was obtained to allow us to utilize "air rights" over the required front setback to give proper coverage for the Owner's cars. Structural supports were placed at the limits of the required setback, and the structural design provided the necessary cantilever. The underside cladding of the Carport forms the aesthetic for the eaves and interior spaces of the home, with the slatted wood treatment extending continuously from front to back for the entire roof.

The driving force behind this design was the blade wall to the ground floor street elevation, which concealed the house's functionality, leaving an element of mystery whilst featuring decorative patterns within the brickwork. – DGK Architects

A young family of four, have commissioned FPA to extend their steep roofed cottage in the suburban town of Purley, Croydon. This project offers the opportunity to revise and refine concepts and principles that FPA had outlined in the design of their house extension project in Surbiton and similarly, here too, the project is split into two separate sub-briefs and organised, once again, around two distinctive new buildings. The side extension is monolithic, with hollowed-out apertures and finished in dark painted render to harmonise with the somber bricks and accommodates ancillary functions. The back extension is conceived as a spatial sun and light catcher. An architectural nacre piece is hung indoors to "catch the light" from nearby sources. A precise study of the sun path has inspired the careful insertion of openings of different types and shapes to direct one's view towards the outside. The new building is articulated by 'pulling' and 'stretching' its edges to produce a dramatic sculptural interior. The back extension is clad with three-dimensional textured timber boards to produce heavy shades and augment its sculptural properties, creating a stronger relationship with the mature trees at the end of the back garden.
