This 8.3 star energy rated home is a beacon when it comes to paired back, simple and functional elegance. With great attention to detail in the design phase as well as carefully considered selections in materials, openings and layout this home performs like a Ferrari. The in-slab hydronic system that is run off a sizeable PV system assists with minimising temperature fluctuations. This home is entered into 2023 Design Matters Award as well as a winner of the 2023 HIA Greensmart Awards. Karli Rise is featured in Sanctuary Magazine in 2023.

As the Desert House has evolved, we've taken to studying rammed earth as a possibility. One thing we love about this material is its warmth and organic texture. Also, more visible in this render are the stacks of sliding steel panels. While the owners are away, the house can be closed up to limit unwanted visitors and/or shield from desert winds.

Carefully considered windows allow the occupants to keep an eye on arriving visitors, while maintaining privacy from the street. A burnt brick planter box wraps the extension, weaving the garden into the building and providing an anchoring base for the soaring sculptural forms above. A suggestion that a touch of colour be introduced to offset the neutral tones was enthusiastically embraced by the owners, delighting the architect with a bold choice of red.

Inspired by the multi-functional performance of a shell structure in nature, the design of this two-bedroom, two-bath ADU explored a performance-based roof geometry that becomes the building façade and privacy screen. Coupled with deep roof overhangs, this second skin allows dappled light to penetrate the interior during the day while reflecting the detrimental UV radiation on the southern exposure. The perforations in the second skin are based on the effects of the sun path on the southern exposure and the location of the windows behind the screen. At night, the interior light glows through the perforations, contributing to the name of the project, “LuminOCity”. Orange Coast College and UC Irvine formed a partnership called "Team MADE" to enter the 2023 Orange County Sustainability Decathlon. "MADE" is an acronym for Modular, Affordable Dwellings for the Environment. LuminOCity won second place in the competition and 9 awards in various categories. Following the competition, the home was donated to Homeless Intervention Services, Orange County, where it serves as an ADU on an existing property to provide transitional housing for youth experiencing housing insecurities. This 750sf prefabricated, modular home is built on four, eight foot wide modules that nest together. The building system is predicated on a software-to-manufacturing pipeline called the FrameCAD Machine. This roll-former for light-gauge steel allowed Team MADE to prototype as well as site-manufacture every stud and track in the steel-framed home they would design. Over 100 student volunteers aided in the construction of the steel framing, MEP installation, building envelope, and site work. The use of prefabricated Light Gauge Steel allowed for higher construction tolerances with simplified assembly diagrams that could be followed by student volunteers. Joseph Sarafian, AIA was the lead architect as well as one of four faculty advisors on the project, leading the design of the project from conception to completion.

The brief for redesigning this oak-framed, three-bay garage was for a self-contained, fully equipped annex for a couple that felt practical, yet distinctive and luxurious. The answer was to use one ’bay’ for the double bedroom with full wall height storage and ensuite with a generous shower, and then use the other two bays for the open plan dining and living areas. The original wooden beams and oak workspaces sit alongside cobalt blue walls and blinds with industrial style lighting and shelving.

Form and function meld in this smaller footprint ranch home perfect for empty nesters or young families.

Winter Bedroom - December 9am To better control the light and heat impact during the different seasons, and what would be ideal in each, we've created a "Winter" and "Summer" bedroom. The winter bedroom, as shown in this view, opens up to the south to encourage sunlight to pour into the space when a little extra warmth is needed. Design Team: Tracy Stone, MacKenzie King

The dining room extension has a dramatic scissor roof form allows for high clerestorey windows in both directions, bringing in northern sunlight over the existing house, ventilating the space and maintaining privacy from the street.
