Field ArchitectureOur ambition for Bodega Bauer was to create an architecture that was informed by the same particularities of the earth which are embodied in the wine of the region. Siting and materiality are guided by the subtleties of sun and wind exposure, climate, the unexpected nuances of each season, and the presence and absence of water and shade.
The Incan irrigation technology that made the region habitable since pre-Columbian times by channeling snow melt from the Andes, was a powerful source of inspiration. Extending this system of ancient waterways, a central channel connects the house to the winery, and becomes a collector for water harvested from the building’s rooftops for irrigation. The new channel guides visitors along a sensuous journey through which one encounters the elements – sun, wind, soil, and water – which make the wine unique. What emerges is an architecture that accentuates its environment, and is at one with the raw, bold spirit of Mendoza.
Along the irrigation channel, two linear forms – one descending, the other rising out of the ground – evoke the correspondence of architecture and wine. The descending structure is the wine-making facility which follows the gravity fed wine making process into the barrel aging vault below. The ascending structure allows the visitor to see how the wine is made, and culminates with a tasting room overlooking the vineyards and landscape. The forms of the winery create a playful interplay of sloping planes that allow the subtle topography of the ground to be perceived.
McKinney York ArchitectsThis extensive remodel overlooking Lake Austin is a paean to the powerful art it enfolds. Rigorous editing of every distracting, inconsequential element of the original house was critical. So too was the insertion of new complementary components that provide artful ways to move through both interior and exterior rooms. The collection of modern art is arresting. Ranging from a Turrell hologram to a pair of Agnes Martins, the art is framed by the architecture and lighting so that it is experienced in a choreographed, curated way that encourages wandering and an intimate connection to each piece. The mood is set in the entry courtyard. A floating walkway curves down and around a brilliant spiraling blue Clement sculpture. It pauses once, at a moment of surprise, when the first view through the house is filled with the blue water of the lake beyond. Inside, the saturated color of many of the pieces of art are balanced by an absence of other visual clutter in the color palette, furniture, and architecture. A new interior plaster, steel, and bronze stair carves through a space occupied by two small Clement sculptures in niches, a McKay Otto sculpture on a landing and a glass cylinder elevator. This is a very specific place, designed for specific art and for a collector who has a close relationship with each piece.

New Explode ConstructionThis Glencoe kitchen is a masterclass in minimalist elegance, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Flooded with natural light from oversized windows, the space is anchored by warm, light oak cabinetry and a full-height quartz slab backsplash that adds quiet drama without overwhelming the senses. The marble island provides both sculptural beauty and everyday function, seamlessly integrating with the overall flow of the home.
Appliances are fully integrated, allowing the clean lines and custom cabinetry to remain the focus. The absence of visible hardware and the use of natural textures create a soft, calming aesthetic that feels timeless yet modern. This kitchen was designed to support the rhythm of everyday life — from quiet mornings with coffee at the island to hosting dinner with family and friends.
Built by New Explode Construction, this project reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, balance, and livable beauty. It's not just a kitchen — it's a space designed to elevate the way you live, gather, and feel at home.
