M+A Architecture StudioM+A Architecture Studio
A house for a young working class couple with three small children, this project addresses the issue of architectural design for the most modest of budgets. Located on family farmland, the house is informed by the vernacular traditions of older homes and farm structures that adjoin the property. Bold use of color and alternative materials help define spaces while maintaining a clear sense of order.

Pivot doors

Pivot doors have become popular because they give a wide, generous opening and a simple, modern appearance. Used mostly on high-end and custom homes, pivoting doors are benefiting from two converging trends in home building. The high-performance hardware allows for smooth operation of panels much wider and taller than a traditional door. The operating hardware itself can be adjusted in both traveling speed and closure speed. This enhances the user experience of opening and closing the door by dialing in the functionality of the door to the individual user or household. . One of the biggest drawbacks to using a pivot door is cost they're up to 30 percent more than a single door and sidelight combination and twice as expensive as a standard-width single door, by some estimates. Pivot doors may be the most expensive designer doors but there’s no escaping the luxurious feel that they lend to designs. .

The cabin typology redux came out of the owner’s desire to have a house that is warm and familiar, but also “feels like you are on vacation.” The basis of the “Hewn House” design starts with a cabin’s simple form and materiality: a gable roof, a wood-clad body, a prominent fireplace that acts as the hearth, and integrated indoor-outdoor spaces. However, rather than a rustic style, the scheme proposes a clean-lined and “hewned” form, sculpted, to best fit on its urban infill lot. The plan and elevation geometries are responsive to the unique site conditions. Existing prominent trees determined the faceted shape of the main house, while providing shade that projecting eaves of a traditional log cabin would otherwise offer. Deferring to the trees also allows the house to more readily tuck into its leafy East Austin neighborhood, and is therefore more quiet and secluded. Natural light and coziness are key inside the home. Both the common zone and the private quarters extend to sheltered outdoor spaces of varying scales: the front porch, the private patios, and the back porch which acts as a transition to the backyard. Similar to the front of the house, a large cedar elm was preserved in the center of the yard. Sliding glass doors open up the interior living zone to the backyard life while clerestory windows bring in additional ambient light and tree canopy views. The wood ceiling adds warmth and connection to the exterior knotted cedar tongue & groove. The iron spot bricks with an earthy, reddish tone around the fireplace cast a new material interest both inside and outside. The gable roof is clad with standing seam to reinforced the clean-lined and faceted form. Furthermore, a dark gray shade of stucco contrasts and complements the warmth of the cedar with its coolness. A freestanding guest house both separates from and connects to the main house through a small, private patio with a tall steel planter bed. Photo by Charles Davis Smith

This beautiful house is well equipt with every bell and whistle. From the media center you can rewire the house for any new technology on the horizon. To the open concept is makes this place very pleasant and well lite. The view of downtown Port Townsend is truly one of a kind. Not to mention, the gift of watching ferries and sail boats is a favorite of many from the large waterproof deck off the master suite. While the master suite is on the uppermost floor the house features an elevator with a window that looks out to the deck, living room and playroom on your way to the daylight basement. The siding is made from Rain Shadow, a Rich Lite product made right here in Tacoma. Its composed of sheets of recycled paper and resin. The windows feature a tilt and turn option so that you can have them fully pivoted for easy cleaning or cracked open in the same manner an awning window operates. The place is heated by a boiler and radiant slab on all three floors. We have propane back up heat and Lunos air exchanging fans throughout. More pictures are soon to follow as there has been much more taking shape since these photos were taken. Hope that you like them, thank you!

Terraced House - Elm Grove - Modern Wood Exterior in a Wooded Suburban Setting

The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns. Overview: Elm Grove Size: 2,800 sf, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms Completion Date: September 2014 Services: Architecture, Landscape Architecture Interior Consultants: Amy Carman Design
