The most unique feature of this design is that the covered bar area is designed to incorporate part of the pool. This allows people socializing at the bar to interact with swimmers in the pool without being baked in the sun. The guests who are interested in bathing in the sun can enjoy the shallow tanning ledge at the opposite end of the pool. An ARDA for Outdoor Living Design goes to Studer Residential Designs, Inc.

New Modern Green Home Designed with modern living in mind this project was a completely custom high performance home system built around modern design principles – principles that emphasized family interaction within functional and attractive living spaces. This home is the work of award-winning custom home builder Lou Sagatov, who has been on the forefront of modern design and ‘green’ home craft for the past decade. It was designed to be more energy efficient than 99% of the homes in Arlington, and was packed with high-end finishes including: a gourmet chef’s kitchen, a custom steel, glass & wood staircase, and elegantly-tiled spa-style bathrooms.

The present project, with its clear and simple forms, looks for the interaction with the rural environment and the contact with the surrounding buildings. The simplicity and architectural dialogue between form and function are the theme for inside and outside. Kitchen and dining area are facing each other. The isle leads to a made-to-measure corner bench that stretches under the wide windows along the entire length of the house and connects to the kitchen across the corner. Above the tall units with their integrated appliances, the window continues as a narrow band. The white high gloss acrylic surface of the kitchen fronts forms a decorative contrast to the wood of the floor and bench. White lacquered recessed handles provide a tranquil, two-dimensional effect.

Interactive Construction’s second Passive House shows that it is possible to achieve this high level of energy efficiency in even the tightest of lots. This build challenged the common assumption that you need a lot of south facing windows to achieve the Passive House certification. The relatively small solar gains from the limited southern exposure was made up for with an extremely tight air-barrier, a top of the line HRV, and higher R-values of insulation. To achieve the best indoor air quality, low-VOC products were used in the finishes. Solid Maple flooring was used throughout the upper levels to create a beautiful look without the chemicals found in engineered flooring. Aging-in-place was key to the design, with a central elevator and accessible door sizes and shower access. Smart design can make homes for versatile over their lifespan which reduces the need for costly renovations in the future. Both the indoor and outdoor areas blend to create tranquil and calm-inspiring spaces. What the homeowners had to say: Each area works well for its purpose. We love the stairs and the glass wall that separates the stairs from the living area. We love our windows, doors and skylights which give us so much light.

This home had been a rental and was showing the wear and tear. Since the house was built in the 1960's, the kitchen and family room were separate and small. The clients entertain a lot and wanted a spacious, welcoming great room, where people could gather and interact with each other, as well as with the homeowners. This whole house remodel touched every room in the house, as well as adding a 500sf addition. The kitchen/great room was enlarged in two ways - the formal living room was scaled down and the additional space was added to the great room and across the back wall the house was pushed out 6 ft.
