Closed garage storage cabinets are the perfect solution for plumbing or electrical supplies, small items or liquid containers. A pegboard is still an effective way to organize hand tools and small items. It is classic, versatile and easy to reconfigure when you bring home a new tool. Kara Lashuay

We recently completed a project in Bend, OR, for a client’s man cave, which he affectionately calls his motorcycle café. We used one of our modular cabinetry designs to accommodate his changing needs, making it the perfect solution as he navigated a recent life change. Additionally, if he decides to move, he can take the cabinetry with him to use in his new space, making this solution very versatile and cost-effective over the long term.

The new parking court is embraced by a low stone wall, protecting visitors from the grade change below, and increasing the usable area. The pavement expansion and new stone wall were engineered with helical piers and afforded the homeowner the ability to retain and utilize the existing hardscape. The new design was not only cost effective, but also allowed the new parking court to extend out to the property’s edge, providing enough space for additional vehicular parking, and screening the view to the nearby A/C units, Morgan Howarth Photography, Surrounds Inc.

LOS ANGELES, CA / SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL The commission for this 4,300-square-foot residence came with significant challenges for the architects – a house had once existed on the lot but had burned down and the attempt to replace the house had stalled, leading to an abatement order and a lapse of permits. Our first challenge was to revive the lapsed construction permit by proposing to “modify” the existing structure. The practical effect this had was to fix the footprint of the new home to the existing structure’s plan outline. Having thereby inherited the large, dense block of the original house, the new strategy became one of substituting selective areas of indoor space for outdoor courtyard. This strategy of trading indoor space for outdoor courtyard allowed an erosion of the formerly monolithic structure into a series of distinct volumetric elements, and further suggested that the architectural pieces could cohere as a “village.” The main level is further eroded by large, glazed planes, merging indoor with outdoor, and virtually stretching the landscape across interior space. Moving the detached garage from the rear yard to beneath the new living space allowed for a 75-meter lap pool and a shaded olive garden. The gardens include built-in seating, extensive use of ornamental grasses and Zen-like interior courtyards. A material palette of fossilized stone, bonderized-galvanized metal, and natural Douglas fir allows for the warmth desired by the wife, while providing the modernity required by the husband. Programmatically, her music room borrows from the calm and protected olive court in the rear, while his office becomes a pavilion set in the landscape, which both addresses the street and acts as a sheltering monument for the terraced entry garden.

Photo by Kristen Lazorchak A carport was chosen over a garage. Due to lack of space on the property, the area had to be attached to the house and is small. Closing in the space would make it feel claustrophobic and we had concerns about negative health effects from attached, enclosed garages. The ceiling was left vaulted with beams exposed to make the space feel larger.
