Nestled on a magnificent radial lot surrounded by over 200 feet of water, this family home was conceived as an iconic, multilayered structure that embraces the water while creating a path through the different spaces of the home. Location: Miami, Florida Status: Completed Site area: 16000 Sq. ft. Project area: 4500 Sq. Ft. Program: Single family Residence

In the centre of this design, conceived as the hub of daily life, is a handleless island block with integrated seating area, to which the successful real wood surface programme BOSSA in walnut lends a special structure all around. The protruding, linear bars of the multi-award-winning BOSSA front create a warm, uniform overall appearance and give the kitchen a three-dimensional, very lively effect - a conscious planning decision to create an elegant as well as lively effect.

Perched above the beautiful Delaware River in the historic village of New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania sits this magnificent custom home designed by OMNIA Group Architects. According to Partner, Brian Mann,"This riverside property required a nuanced approach so that it could at once be both a part of this eclectic village streetscape and take advantage of the spectacular waterfront setting." Further complicating the study, the lot was narrow, it resides in the floodplain and the program required the Master Suite to be on the main level. To meet these demands, OMNIA dispensed with conventional historicist styles and created an open plan blended with traditional forms punctuated by vast rows of glass windows and doors to bring in the panoramic views of Lambertville, the bridge, the wooded opposite bank and the river. Mann adds, "Because I too live along the river, I have a special respect for its ever changing beauty - and I appreciate that riverfront structures have a responsibility to enhance the views from those on the water." Hence the riverside facade is as beautiful as the street facade. A sweeping front porch integrates the entry with the vibrant pedestrian streetscape. Low garden walls enclose a beautifully landscaped courtyard defining private space without turning its back on the street. Once inside, the natural setting explodes into view across the back of each of the main living spaces. For a home with so few walls, spaces feel surprisingly intimate and well defined. The foyer is elegant and features a free flowing curved stair that rises in a turret like enclosure dotted with windows that follow the ascending stairs like a sculpture. "Using changes in ceiling height, finish materials and lighting, we were able to define spaces without boxing spaces in" says Mann adding, "the dynamic horizontality of the river is echoed along the axis of the living space; the natural movement from kitchen to dining to living rooms following the current of the river." Service elements are concentrated along the front to create a visual and noise barrier from the street and buttress a calm hall that leads to the Master Suite. The master bedroom shares the views of the river, while the bath and closet program are set up for pure luxuriating. The second floor features a common loft area with a large balcony overlooking the water. Two children's suites flank the loft - each with their own exquisitely crafted baths and closets. Continuing the balance between street and river, an open air bell-tower sits above the entry porch to bring life and light to the street. Outdoor living was part of the program from the start. A covered porch with outdoor kitchen and dining and lounge area and a fireplace brings 3-season living to the river. And a lovely curved patio lounge surrounded by grand landscaping by LDG finishes the experience. OMNIA was able to bring their design talents to the finish materials too including cabinetry, lighting, fixtures, colors and furniture.

A new residential development at Pier 70 in San Francisco - currently under construction (completion in 2022). Two, six-story structures housing 240 units and a large amenities area, the design proposal included experiential programming and design for main lobby areas, interior courtyard, rooftop terraces, residential units and amenity programs. — Deriving from the Pier’s maritime and warehouse heritage, the design embraces the temporal quality of the surrounding waterfront and evolving character & craftsmanship innate in the people and industries of Pier 70. Finding a balance between restraint and refinement, simple, sculptural forms were emphasized through texture of material, providing warmth and depth to each space. A subtle, neutral color palette complements & contrasts against raw unfinished materials and natural textures. The intent being to create a strong connection between inside and out - seeking the universal truth of harmony and balance - so often found in nature.

This project is an example of our staged building program, with phase one marking the completion of the sunroom and deck. Phase two is to include a hot tub deck that leads into a paver patio with a custom fire pit (this will be completed at the homeowner’s discretion). Thus far, the completed space includes a rustic open gable sunroom built with select rough hewn cedar and a custom adjoining deck.

Located near the foot of the Teton Mountains, the site and a modest program led to placing the main house and guest quarters in separate buildings configured to form outdoor spaces. With mountains rising to the northwest and a stream cutting through the southeast corner of the lot, this placement of the main house and guest cabin distinctly responds to the two scales of the site. The public and private wings of the main house define a courtyard, which is visually enclosed by the prominence of the mountains beyond. At a more intimate scale, the garden walls of the main house and guest cabin create a private entry court. A concrete wall, which extends into the landscape marks the entrance and defines the circulation of the main house. Public spaces open off this axis toward the views to the mountains. Secondary spaces branch off to the north and south forming the private wing of the main house and the guest cabin. With regulation restricting the roof forms, the structural trusses are shaped to lift the ceiling planes toward light and the views of the landscape.

This 5,000 square-foot project consisted of a new barn structure on a sloping waterfront property. The structure itself is tucked into the hillside to allow direct access to an upper level space by driveway. The forms and details of the barn are in keeping with the existing, century-old main residence, located down-slope, and adjacent to the water’s edge. The program included a lower-level three-bay garage, and an upper-level multi-use room both sporting polished concrete floors. Strong dedication to material quality and style provided the chance to introduce modern touches while maintaining the maturity of the site. Combining steel and timber framing brought the two styles together and offered the chance to utilize durable wood paneling on the interior and create an air-craft cable metal staircase linking the two levels. Whether using the space for work or play, this one-of-a-kind structure showcases all aspects of a personalized, functional barn. Photographer: MTA

The Shirvanian Youth Center remodel, championed by nonprofit Engineer Armenia, reimagines the center’s outdoor area as a flexible community space for youth gathering, recreation, learning, and everyday use. Conceived as an extension of the center itself, the courtyard is organized into purposeful zones that support both structured programming and informal interaction. Stepped seating creates an amphitheater-style setting for presentations, performances, and group gathering, while lunch and picnic areas encourage daily use and shared meals. A retractable shade structure improves comfort throughout the day, and a central fire pit establishes a natural focal point for connection and community. Together, these elements shape a multi-use outdoor environment designed for children, teens, families, and nonprofit programming. Grounded in flexibility, durability, and human-centered planning, the design creates a welcoming setting for activity, social engagement, and belonging. The result is a thoughtful community-centered courtyard that reinforces the youth center’s role as a place for gathering, learning, and recreation.

Originally built to house a garage, workshop and wood storage, this simple structure has been gently re-imagined into a unique guesthouse with a rustic accents and modern comforts. The exterior retains the classic barn appearance, with the addition of carefully placed windows and industrial-looking Corten steel siding. The introduction of a large dormer to the center of the structure was a simple move, but provided multiple functions: • breaks up the 8’-0” ceiling on the main floor, letting in additional daylight and providing visual relief to the otherwise low ceiling • creates circulation space with the rustic steel stair and bridge • utilizes reclaimed wood siding on the ceiling and walls, contrasting with white drywall and clean bright finishes • visually connects the two upstairs bedrooms with the main floor The focus of the interior was to preserve and accentuate the barn features as much as possible, and have a warm and cozy, energy efficient guest house. Programming included two bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining area, farmhouse kitchen and pantry, living room and laundry room. Materials and furnishes were selected to create a clean, comfortable and inviting interior with a rustic edge. The exposed steel beam was left unfinished showing its existing wear and tear, and the new steel stair was left raw to eventually age and match the beam. Durable and economical oak floors were used throughout. Traditional subway tile and penny rounds contrast with the modern, clean lines of the kitchen and bathrooms. A custom sliding barn door adds texture to the kitchen and closes off the pantry and laundry room from the space. Furniture was a mix of new and existing, which makes the spaces both familiar and comfortable. All in all, there is a timeless look to the end product; a traditional farmstead structure has definitely been giving a great new lease on life. Andrew Pogue

The conception of the Montrose Garage project, driven by the site and the client’s program, became a lynchpin on the site by reorganizing movement around it. The building, echoing the contemporary materials and aesthetic of the primary residence, is the northern boundary of a courtyard creating the built edge of this urban lot. The garage structure could be characterized as an “Eroded Shed”. With a simple sloped roof, site influences and program requirements strategically carve away at the basic rectangular volume, creating dynamic architecture. The project is located on a tight site on a residential block with an alley at the northern edge of the property. To maximize access and convenience for the client, the project created vehicular access at two points on the site, through the main driveway at the south side and through the alleyway. The “Truck Port” allows vehicular access from both sides of the site. Sliding barn doors open up to the deck/courtyard during parties and social gatherings, and a sitting porch at the exercise studio opens to a beautiful view of the surrounding mountain landscape.

FORM, FUNCTION AND LIVING SPACE At the heart of this kitchen design is a handleless island block with an integrated seating area, which serves as the central hub of daily activities. The block is enriched by using BOSSA, a successful natural wood surface program in walnut that gives it a unique, structured appearance. The multi-award winning BOSSA front features linear bars that protrude, creating a warm, uniform look that adds a lively, three-dimensional effect to the kitchen. This was a conscious planning decision to achieve an elegant yet dynamic outcome.
