Pool and backyard landscaping are the only previous features that remained from the original home, minus a few walls on the interior and newly installed waterless grass for the ground cover. Designed with a standing seam metal roof, with internal drainage system for hidden gutters design. Rain chain and rain barrels for rain harvesting. Retrofitted with Hardy Frames prefabricated shear walls for up to date earthquake safety. Opening both walls to the backyard, there are now two 14' folding doors allowing the inside and outside to merge. http://www.hardyframe.com/HF/index.html Amy J Smith Photography

When Smith Hanes Studio set out to bring a handwoven coastal warmth to the main dining room of Carmel restaurant in Atlanta's Buckhead Village, they chose a fleet of twenty of our large Fawn Pendants to define the space. Each Fawn pendant is handwoven from elephant grass by members of SWOPA, the Sirigu Women's Organization for Pottery and Art in northern Ghana. SWOPA's mission is to preserve traditional craft knowledge and pass weaving techniques down to the next generation of women in their community. The elephant grass grows along West African riverbanks, is harvested using traditional methods that allow it to regenerate naturally, and is sun-dried before weaving. Because each shade is woven by hand, every piece undulates slightly differently. Installed as a sweeping canopy across the dining room ceiling, the twenty pendants create an atmosphere that is at once intimate and expansive, the warm diffused glow of the natural fibre entirely in keeping with the coastal, handcrafted material story that Smith Hanes wove throughout the space. The pendants sit alongside a rattan-wrapped bar and custom fibre installations by local artisan Sonya Yong James. Interior design: Smith Hanes Studio, Atlanta Photography: Tim Lenz

New home gym/pool house built by Makara ADU in Montgomery County MD. This Makara 375 space is the perfect size for a home gym, pool house, guest room and studio apartment. Visit www.makara-adu.com to learn more.

The Control/Shift House is perched on the high side of the site which takes advantage of the view to the southeast. A gradual descending path navigates the change in terrain from the street to the entry of the house. A series of low retaining walls/planter beds gather and release the earth upon the descent resulting in a fairly flat level for the house to sit on the top one third of the site. The entry axis is aligned with the celebrated stair volume and then re-centers on the actual entry axis once you approach the forecourt of the house. The initial desire was for an “H” scheme house with common entertaining spaces bridging the gap between the more private spaces. After an investigation considering the site, program, and view, a key move was made: unfold the east wing of the “H” scheme to open all rooms to the southeast view resulting in a “T” scheme. The new derivation allows for both a swim pool which is on axis with the entry and main gathering space and a lap pool which occurs on the cross axis extending along the lengthy edge of the master suite, providing direct access for morning exercise and a view of the water throughout the day. The Control/Shift House was derived from a clever way of following the “rules.” Strict HOA guidelines required very specific exterior massing restrictions which limits the lengths of unbroken elevations and promotes varying sizes of masses. The solution most often used in this neighborhood is one of addition - an aggregation of masses and program randomly attached to the inner core of the house which often results in a parasitic plan. The approach taken with the Control/Shift House was to push and pull program/massing to delineate and define the layout of the house. Massing is intentional and reiterated by the careful selection of materiality that tracks through the house. Voids and relief in the plan are a natural result of this method and allow for light and air to circulate throughout every space of the house, even into the most inner core.
