Vivienda L, Uruguay, by MBAD Arquitectos
The project started as a very strong need from the client in regards to the possibility to create a summer house using these parameters: the monetary expense and the footprint. Raw concrete floors, industrial grade windows and wood siding creates a space that’s more unique. Almost like a modern hunter’s cabin with a strong presence.

(1 votes)Cascade House, Canada, by Paul Raff Studio
Situated in Toronto’s Forest Hill, an area characterized by its conservative decorum, the Cascade House disarms. At the apex of a curved street, it presents itself as a sculpture of stacked boxes composed from shards of glass and muted black slate. Commissioned by a family that was relocating from Arizona, the house was designed in response to the clients’ love of modern art and their desire for natural light.
There are some elements in this home that you’re sure to fall in love with.

ModKnobs is a new company producing modern door knobs. Their story is cute: Mary & Jeff were remodeling their home and had a hard time finding cool doorknobs that were affordable. So, Jeff decided to design his own using, of all things, blue hockey pucks. After a while, Jeff started making them for friends. He developed more designs, using both pucks and reclaimed, eco-friendly PaperStone. Thus, ModKnobs was born!

The design for this waterfront home on Lake Washington knits together themes of nature, art and the science of sustainable design. The house is oriented on the site to respond to the sun’s path, site features such as existing shade trees, optimal views across the lake, prevailing winds, and the clients’ intention to actively use the outdoor spaces on and around their home.
