There are few opportunities in life to acquire an architecturally significant property with commanding east, west, and north views of the Delaware River. Designed by J. Robert Hillier, this striking minimalist residence (c.2004) is a masterful example of integrated living. Built into a bluff overlooking the river, organic elements such as a partial sod roof planted with meadow grasses and stone quarried on-site blend the building with its surroundings.

This house was in derelict state when our clients acquired it. The entire residence was reimagined, the ceilings were raised up, the walls removed, the sunroom added and the functionality of the entire residence was reimagined.

A sliding storage element and a series of sliding panels create distinct spaces within a compact 390 sf Manhattan apartment. Sliding elements are motorized and can operated manually.

The client purchased the furniture from Modlife Home showroom in Chicago and shipped it to the residence in Del Mar, Ca, The chairs are vintage Selig Z-chairs reupholstered in a tan mohair fabric. The rosewood case Milo Baughman sofa is upholstered in a beige leather and backed with a live edge custom sofa table made with black plumbing iron legs. The cocktail table is a brass metal table powder coated in black with a glass top, The mid-century modern brutalist wall art was acquired locally and hung by the ceiling above the fireplace.

The room sequence is terminated by the library to the North. The entry hall is to the left of this view with recessed gilt columns the owners acquired in Syria. Panelization of the walls gave a rhythmic modulation to this large space and provided vignettes for the owner's collection of French art and antiques. As throughout the home, everything was gutted and new room configurations were created. Photography by Tony Soluri

Atherton has many large substantial homes - our clients purchased an existing home on a one acre flag-shaped lot and asked us to design a new dream home for them. The result is a new 7,000 square foot four-building complex consisting of the main house, six-car garage with two car lifts, pool house with a full one bedroom residence inside, and a separate home office /work out gym studio building. A fifty-foot swimming pool was also created with fully landscaped yards. Given the rectangular shape of the lot, it was decided to angle the house to incoming visitors slightly so as to more dramatically present itself. The house became a classic u-shaped home but Feng Shui design principals were employed directing the placement of the pool house to better contain the energy flow on the site. The main house entry door is then aligned with a special Japanese red maple at the end of a long visual axis at the rear of the site. These angles and alignments set up everything else about the house design and layout, and views from various rooms allow you to see into virtually every space tracking movements of others in the home. The residence is simply divided into two wings of public use, kitchen and family room, and the other wing of bedrooms, connected by the living and dining great room. Function drove the exterior form of windows and solid walls with a line of clerestory windows which bring light into the middle of the large home. Extensive sun shadow studies with 3D tree modeling led to the unorthodox placement of the pool to the north of the home, but tree shadow tracking showed this to be the sunniest area during the entire year. Sustainable measures included a full 7.1kW solar photovoltaic array technically making the house off the grid, and arranged so that no panels are visible from the property. A large 16,000 gallon rainwater catchment system consisting of tanks buried below grade was installed. The home is California GreenPoint rated and also features sealed roof soffits and a sealed crawlspace without the usual venting. A whole house computer automation system with server room was installed as well. Heating and cooling utilize hot water radiant heated concrete and wood floors supplemented by heat pump generated heating and cooling. A compound of buildings created to form balanced relationships between each other, this home is about circulation, light and a balance of form and function. Photo by Philip Liang Photography.

Architect Matthew Coates’ award-winning “ReHOME: Resilience & Regeneration” project takes on two pressing social and environmental issues: the lack of affordable housing in cities throughout the United States, and the vast amount of waste produced during construction and demolition. This project won the prestigious 2022 AIA Seattle’s Award of Merit in “Research & Innovation” owing to its plan to save millions of dollars in resources while creating jobs that develop employable skills and constructing low-cost housing for diverse demographics. Through community engagement and volunteer work, future residents will benefit from the housing while learning skills of construction and management. The vision is to then introduce volunteers to industries wherein they might acquire future employment. This project introduces innovations not yet utilized in efforts to increase the inventory of affordable housing.
