.

Description from the architect:

Situated on a hillside site, the Graticule House is conceived to be a trace, or reference datum, allowing a reading of the relationship between the building and nature. Fundamental to the conception of the house is the notion of cadence, where repetitious vertical and horizontal markers of the building’s tectonics are juxtaposed with the particularity of the forest and ground plane. Light and space are modulated by meshing ribbons of glass and wall planes that form a tessellation of solid and void

I've been spending a lot of time at Zuccotti Park before helping start the Occupy The Hamptons group, which has been a very fulfilling new direction in my life. It has given me a lot of hope for the first time in my life for the future of the country and environment. I decided to start wearing Occupy Wall Street gear, but didn't like a lot of the styles or t-shirts on the market at the moment, so I made my own. I have kept the price at cafepress as low as it goes, so if you would like a generic OCCUPY tshirt or mug or whatever, do consider my design!

.

Edgemoore is an affluent neighbourhood in Bethesda, Maryland, a suburb bordering northwest Washington, DC. Mature trees and gardens line the streets of this neighbourhood, within walking distance of downtown Bethesda.

Too often lately, many of the perfectly scaled houses inhabiting this neighborhood are being torn down and replaced with Craftsman-style houses on steroids and pseudo-colonials far too large for their lots. Most of these new houses are built to the maximum size allowed by the zoning ordinances with little regard for the scale of adjacent structures. Sites are rendered treeless, leaving little or no green space. These houses seem egregious, insensitive and irresponsible.

The client for this project was a young, forward thinking entrepreneur with no desire for a nostalgic or revivalist style house. He desired a house that was efficient with a minimal footprint, leaving the majority of the lot unoccupied by building and hardscape. The close proximity to a more urban downtown Bethesda warranted a house designed with closer ties to an urban area than to the rural countryside that once informed the design of houses built in Edgemoore.

After much deliberation, it was decided to remove an existing, inefficient structure and replace it with a new one. The new house occupies one third less area than the original structure and is sited to maximise green area on the property. Designed as a cube, the new house is approximately 2,200 sq ft with no unused or underutilised spaces. The flat roof provides an additional 1,100 sq ft of outdoor living space with views of treetops and the downtown Bethesda skyline.

Fenestration in the ground faced block walls, composed of varying sized rectangular and square openings, is arranged to optimise views to the green spaces while minimising views of adjacent houses in close proximity. A series of landscape walls orchestrate the relationship between the street, required parking court and house. Interior spaces are open and light filled with crisp detailing. Walnut flooring provides a rich base for white walls and millwork, designed in juxtaposition to the charcoal gray exterior walls.

This house represents a deliberate departure in both the thought process and the realisation of current building trends in the neighbourhood. Instead of building a large house with pretentious ties to the rural past, this new house is smaller with a stronger relationship to the modern, urban area that Bethesda has become. The house is intended to be more site sensitive, environmentally conscious, and to provide comfortable, efficient living spaces.

Project description:

Arch11 was tasked with designing an authentic minimalist interior for a speculative home purchased by our client. The monochromatic palette is contrasted by a two-story red glass stair enclosure; a formal sculpture in the space that provides a haptic experience playing with one’s sense of color as you pass up or down the stairs. Walls were removed to facilitate an overlapping of spaces and provide connection to the north and south yards throughout the public spaces.  A play of tone and texture, rather than color, delineates surface treatments. Walls are white, whether plaster, glass or casework. The polished concrete floor surface transforms to become the fireplace wall; the polymorphous material remains the same, only the surface texture and tone change. A formal language of overlapping horizontal planes establishes a design language for stairs, hearth, kitchen and breakfast room table.

Project description from A-cero:

The project is a duplex apartment integral alteration in a block of flats in a residential area of Galicia. The property had this housing in the city for sporadic stays as a second residence, because they live in Madrid.

It is a duplex apartment that occupies the last two floors in a block of flats that has 4 levels, with two apartments in each floor. This block, that has approximately 30 years of antiquity is placed in a residential area of the city, following the typical 80s urban development plans that were projected in the Spanish cities.

The duplex apartment, with an obsolete aspect, hadn’t been reformed for years since its acquisition. It had the clichés of a property of that period in its finish and furniture, that were damaged and also accumulating and/or suffering later decorations and small reforms. There was a peculiarity necessary to preserve: some blinds in the building front with big slats which in the beginning supposed a problem with the light.

Then, an integral reform is projected. The property needed a radical change for the apartment, in order to improve every aspect; distribution, light, design, solutions … The results proved to be really satisfactory.

The apartment, with a 250 m2 built surface, has another peculiarity in its access, which takes place from the high floor. In this floor we have a big receiver that already indicates the intention of the reforms in the rest of the house. Only a few pictures, with a proper format according to the design of the rounded architectural forms, by the painter Mercedes Rodriguez, in blue and gray tones, together with a gray silk carpet, also with a particular form and a few shining steel balls of “A-cero in” break the monotony of the dominant white color. In the false roof an opening allows us to see the natural light through an already existing fanlight. This wide entrance hall distributes, on the one hand, the most public area, composed by a big dining room and, on the other side, a courtesy W.C, a bedroom in suite with a finished bathroom that can be for guests or for service and the kitchen. On the opposite side, there are the sculptural stairs that will lead us to the most private stays.

In the living room, as in the rest of the house, the white colour is the protagonist. Only some elements like the lacquered black wood console by “A-cero in”, the Ace model couches, also by “A-cero in” upholstered in velvet champagne tone, break this white monochromia. We also find the Csec model coffee tables, and a few armchairs of “Ipe Cavalli“. Also the dining room furniture is “Ipe Cavalli”, both the steel table and the steel chairs, upholstered in white skin.

On the other hand, also in this floor, one more service area is located, with a courtesy W.C, a kitchen and a service or guest bedroom in suite with complete bath. The kitchen, which has an elongated disposition, was designed by A-cero just for its space, also characterized by the white colour, and emphasizes the Hi-Macs black desk. The cooking tops, also in white Hi-Macs like the daily dining room, and the furniture in high bright white lacquered wood. The domestic appliances Siemens and the extractor hood Pando, the Gessi bathroom fittings.

A sculptural staircase drives to the low part of the house where the principal bedroom in suite is located, with its own bath and dressing-room, and another two bedrooms.

In the bedrooms, the closets are lacked and in the principal bedroom the bed with surrounding headrest and small Capri model tables by A-cero in.

So, the final target of this project is improving the luminosity and the design. That’s the reason why the white colour is the best option in walls and floor… This combines with the black colour to emphasize some parts, creating sculptural volumes.
