FRAME

This concrete residence in Sonoma replaces a modest kit home that was severely damaged in the Nuns Wildfire of 2017. The client wanted a safer retreat from future fires, while still capturing the dramatic views of the surrounding canyon. Bleached cedar was added inside and out to soften the concrete super structure, while a cantilevered loggia provides shade from the harsh summer sun.

CHAMBER

Chamber is a design gallery tucked into an interstitual space below The High Line. Mirroring the curatorial style, the design focuses on a few strong formal and material moves. Stainless steel pegs and marble panels, CNC’d with a graphic pattern, form a flexible peg-and-shelf wall along the entry. Functional surfaces and storage are formed from folded plate aluminum, while a modular marble display table anchors the main gallery space.

SKIGARD

This mountain cabin is elevated on 54 wooden columns, preserving the original landscape without grading or clearing. Native grasses grow beneath the structure and blanket the building’s roof, leaving the site with more greenery than it began with. The columns are clad in skigard—long, narrow quarter-cut logs traditionally used by Norwegian farmers for fencing, a familiar feature in the surrounding farms.

ELLIOT

This four-story storefront for John Elliott in Miami’s Design District reflects the brand’s identity of classic basics with playful twists. In the same way, the building is clad entirely in timeless marble while identical windows puncture the surface in a tumbling block pattern, adding a sense of play and movement.

TETHEROW

Tetherow is Oregon’s first fully cross-laminated timber (CLT) home. Built on the site of a wildfire from two decades ago, its cedar siding is torched to enhance resilience against fire and rot. The interior is exposed CLT structural panels, requiring absolute precision in milling and assembly. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the house forms eight courtyards: one fully enclosed at its center and seven open ones along its perimeter, creating seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces.

SILVER

Silver was designed as both a gallery and home for its owners, a designer and a photographer. A series of functional rooms and galleries, each varying in size and light level, are connected by a spiral staircase of steel and polished chrome. Originally a flat-roofed, single-story home, the building was extended upward to create additional space while echoing the rhythm of the three-story Victorians on the street.
