HELIOTROPE ARCHITECTS

SUNCREST RESIDENCE

This new residence is located on a pristine site comprised of a mature douglas fir and pacific madrone forest, with occasional rocky clearings and several small ponds. The site is ecologically sensitive, with bald eagle nests and trees prone to blight if disturbed. Further, soil coverage is minimal over the native basalt, therefore stormwater management is a serious concern. Our clients desired a work of architecture that took into consideration these constraints and minimized site impacts while creating a work of architecture that utilized their favorite materials (wood and concrete) and connected them intimately with the land and the view. The home is situated where the forest gives way to a large rocky clearing with views to the sea. The structure is ‘wrapped’ around a prominent outcropping of rock and carefully situated to require a minimum of tree removal. The long, narrow footprint of the home allows every room a view of the sea while also retaining a strong connection to the surrounding forest. Strict site access protocols were put in place for the duration of construction in order to minimize site disturbance, and the landscape has been carefully restored. To eliminate stormwater issues, rain leaders have been piped to a nearby pond for natural filtration and dispersion. Where this was not possible due to grades, a garden roof was utilized to slow runoff.

NORTHBEACH RESIDENCE

This residence is located on a northwesterly oriented beach fronting the Strait of Georgia. The site includes many second-growth douglas firs, a beech grove and a grassy meadow with good solar exposure. For over a thousand years this site was a summer camp location for the Lummi Indians, and due to its archeological significance no footing excavation could take place on the site. Further, its location in a federally designated flood plain required that the structure be raised off the ground several feet. The design brief called for a very low-impact, easy to maintain summer home that provides necessary programmatic functions with minimum distractions from the land and the view. The design response situates the structure among the trees directly between the beach and the meadow, with walls of glass opening out to both. Steel columns minimize visible structure from the interior, while metal-clad wall elements provide a bold form when seen from the exterior. A matt-slab is utilized to avoid excavation, and the foundation recessed to minimize the footprint. The roof is vegetated, which filters rainwater that in turn is collected and stored for use in irrigation. Potable hot water and hydronic heating are aided by solar collectors on the roof, and PV panel s above the vegetable garden provide supplemental electricity. The home is intended for occupancy from May through October, and systems have been designed to zero out electricity use over the course of a full year.

Marcus O'Reilly Architects

Marcus O’Reilly Architects has carefully designed a low key, site responsive beach house in Sorrento on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula in Australia. The timber clad structure reinterprets a longstanding beach house tradition in the area. It uses local materials to blend into, respect and compliment it’s sought after location adjacent to a national park.

The site, which has been in the owner’s family for more than fifty years, is heavily populated with eucalyptus trees which grow out of the rolling sand dunes of the area. Floating green stained cedar volumes and bleached timbers visually respond to the Eucalyptus canopies. The volumes step up the sand dune allowing it to be virtually undisturbed as the dune rises to the rear of the site. The front volume is anchored to the ground by canted sandstone walls lending a sense of gravitas to the otherwise light wood framed structure. The main living level stretches east to west along the site to welcome northern light into each room of the house. The light is cleverly filtered through tea tree stake sunshades and screens which add to the vernacular of the house. The point of entry of the house is up a timber staircase with playful and unpretentious custom galvanized steel balustrades which leads to an expansive deck covered with a radial polycarbonate and timber awning. The architect chose a low maintenance material palette which was not only intended to stand up to the tests of sandy boogie boards, wet towels and teenage parties but also improve with age.

Sustainable issues were to the fore, primarily with passive Solar performance. The orientation, size, volume of building, insulation and the weight were modelled to assess how much extra ballast would be needed to add to the southern walls to obtain the required thermal mass. The calculations paid off and rendered Air Conditioning unnecessary despite the obvious difficulties involved in obtaining optimal thermal performance for a structure that is up on stilts and lightweight in a temperate climate. Passive ventilation and 10,000 litre rainwater tanks complete the package.

m.o.daby design

burke residence
portland, or

.
The redesign of this 1950’s ranch house stays within the existing footprint other than a small addition for the entry which was redesigned to make a strong announcement when approaching the house-that sits a full story below the front road. The entry is defined from the inside by dropping the floor one step and a change in ceiling angles and volume. The stairs were relocated and walls removed to allow the living, dining, and kitchen to flow as one space. The dramatic angles in the main level ceiling were created by vaulting the living room, folding the entry roof and rear corner of the dining room roof. A wall of windows was added to bring the site’s large trees and sky into the home. The living room further connects to the beautifully landscaped yard through new sliding glass doors.
To accommodate the Burke’s growing family, the new home is divided into two zones. The main level is the “adult zone” and the lower level is the “kid zone”. Locating the master bedroom suite, office, and living room on the main level allows adult privacy when desired, while the lower level contains two additional kid’s bedrooms and a recreation room. The office is located with close proximity to the master bedroom to be used as a nursery while the kids are young. Adam and Becky, since moving into the house, have expressed how well the home works for their lifestyle. While entertaining, the adults socialize on the main level, while the kids enjoy themselves downstairs.
The all wood, partially open riser, staircase (a design collaboration with Adam Burke) visually and literally links the main and lower level. Durable concrete floors on the lower level are low maintenance and a great thermal mass for the radiant floor heating.
Uninhibited use of douglas fir, cherry, and cedar wood throughout introduces a warm, comfortable feeling to the modern home.
.

notable sustainable features:
-native/water efficient landscaping including “eco-lawn”
-sustainably harvested or reclaimed Douglas fir for finish trim and stair treads
-metal roof
-durable concrete lower floor surface
-whole house ventilation fan
-radiant floor heating with high efficiency boiler
-sunken entry with shoe storage to trap dirt and dust
-non-toxic wood sealant
-pervious driveway surface

KRUECK + SEXTON ARCHITECTS

Chicago’s First Green Museum

Krueck & Sexton’s Spertus Institute makes history in Michigan Avenue historic district

Architects Krueck & Sexton’s new Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies Building in downtown Chicago recently became the city’s first “green” museum after being awarded a Silver Level LEED certification from the US Green Building Council.

The 10-story, 145,000 square foot structure is also the first LEED-certified building in the city’s Historic Michigan Boulevard District, a 12-block row of mainly late 19th and early 20th Century buildings by such seminal architects as Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham, Solon S. Beman and Holabird & Roche.

Among the sustainable elements that made the building eligible for LEED certification are everything from advanced “light harvesting” and heat recovery systems to such low-tech ideas as installing bike racks and a shower in order to encourage employees to bike to work. The building also has a green roof that reduces energy consumption.

“A lot of what goes into making a building green – like bringing in natural light and using energy efficient systems -- is just common sense,” said Ron Krueck. “Architects like Mies van der Rohe were green long before the term was invented. For us, green technology is a fundamental part of the design process.”

“There’s a lot of different ways to make buildings sustainable,” said Mark Sexton. “We’ve always designed buildings that are open, flexible, use energy wisely and have large amounts of natural light.”

He added, however, that “green is not a short term strategy. The real payoffs for companies and landlords come down the road in the form of fewer sick days, higher productivity and significant savings in maintenance and operating expenses.”

The LEED certification is the latest in a series of honors the building has received since it was completed in 2008. These include three AIA awards, including the highly coveted Louis Sullivan Award; the Commission on Chicago Landmarks’ Excellence in New Infill Construction Award, and Interior Design Magazine’s Best of Year Award.

Spertus occupies a mid-block site at 610 South Michigan Avenue and is at the southern end of the Historic Michigan Boulevard District. The District was created in 2002 to preserve one of the city’s most important historic streetscapes.

Spertus’ decidedly 21st Century design – the elaborately folded and angled façade is composed of 726 individually cut panes of glass in 556 shapes -- was made possible by the fact that the building was constructed on what was the last remaining vacant lot in the District.

“In their day, the buildings in the historic district were some of the best, most technologically advanced, structures in the city,” said Krueck. “We wanted our design to reflect that same level of creativity and technology but in a modern vocabulary.”

The 600 block also contains the French-influenced 1908 Blackstone Hotel by Marshall and Fox, as well as two buildings by Christian Eckstrom, an architect known locally mainly for his innovative industrial and warehouse designs. The Eckstrom buildings are the 1907 International Harvester Company Building at 600 South Michigan and the 1908 Chicago Musical College Building at 624 South Michigan Avenue.

The Historic Michigan Boulevard district also includes such landmarks as Adler & Sullivan’s 1890 Auditorium Building, Solon S. Beman’s 1885 Fine Arts Building, Holabird & Roche’s 1927 Stevens Hotel and D.H. Burnham & Co.’s 1904 Railway Exchange Building.

Ron Krueck and Mark Sexton, the founders of the Krueck & Sexton, have worked together for over 30 years and have amassed a varied portfolio of high profile civic and cultural projects as well as numerous residential and commercial commissions. The firm is also noted for its innovative restoration and historic re-adaptation practice, which is focused on Modernist and other Post War buildings.

Pb elemental

Project name: River Bend
Project location: North Bend, Washington USA
Project Architect: Pb elemental - Chris Pardo, Dave Biddle
Project Structural: LEAD Consulting – Cory Fraser, Chris Nickerson
General Contractor: Jakes Development – Boyd Lybeck
Project Sqft: 3600 indoor 3000 sqft decking
Project Completion: 2009
Project Construction Timeline: 12 months

.
The River Bend residence sits at the base of Cascades in a heavily forested site on the bank of the Snoqualmie River. The home balances the client’s desire for privacy, while embracing nature. Many challenges faced the design and construction of this home low budget, sustainable desires, but most of all schedule. The client, a young family of four, located the site two weeks before legislation would change setbacks and make the site unbuildable. The challenge was to design and submit a sustainable home that would accommodate their existing family and could later be added on to as their family grew, before the change in legislation. The second challenge was accommodating the existing setbacks, protected old growth trees, septic drain fields, and the buildings proposed/future footprint. A seemingly simple bar diagram formulated the initial concept, living/entertaining on the ground floor, private bedrooms on the upper floor. In the future as the clients family grow a third bar was designed to bridge over the living room. Conceived as three masses (private, living, utilitarian) and three materials (wood, concrete/ metal), the River Bend Residence offers a low maintenance exterior and naturally light interior. The river can be heard from the 3000 sqft of exterior decks, while viewed from the upper deck. The forest surrounding the home was maintained to ensure wildlife habitat and reduce the homes impact on the site. Wild grasses and local plants were installed in areas affected by construction. The home features a geothermal in-ground heat loop and Desuperheater for free water heating during cooling season and reduced energy usage during heating seasons.

Hill House is a dynamic interpretation of the action of ascending a steep hill by switch back. The form of the house, conceived while hiking in Portland's Forest Park, leverages the boundaries set by building code, site constraints, a tight budget, and the client's program which includes a two bedroom mother-in-law apartment. As the house climbs the hill, the rear of the house is set on a series of terraces while the front facade weaves side to side to reveal a different view of Portland and Vancouver from each floor.

OBRA ARCHITECTS

The Centrifugal Villa (Southampton, New York), by OBRA ARCHITECTS, is arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body. The string of subsequent spaces in its interior provide a comprehension of the whole by sacrificing their individual geometric cohesiveness to the fractured configuration of the entire composition. The experience of the interior is characterized by constantly shifting vanishing points, at the place of their collision in each crease of the plan, large openings cutting dormer scoops on the roof, centrifugally release the views out to the surrounding landscape. The house, defined by this idea rather than a formal imposition, cannibalizes the local “vernacular,” distorting it through hexagonal introspection of the plan and the transposed proportion of the parts.
.

Designed as wood post-and-beam structure, the exterior cladding is detailed with vertical board and batten seams to give continuity to the building exterior and encourage an uninterrupted rhythmic flow around the elevations. The house utilizes geothermal heating and incorporates passive energy-saving techniques, including a narrow-section interior to allow natural ventilation and a sequence and layout of dormer windows and openings to permit generous daylighting and minimal artificial lighting needs.
.

Set on a 5-acre property overlooking an agricultural reserve, the completed project includes main house, separate guesthouse and garage structure, and poolhouse with poolside pavilion.

DEX Studio

Known throughout Los Angeles for their restaurant and bar designs at Venice’s Beechwood, Santa Monica’s Melisse, and Culver City’s Alibi Room, DEX Studio recently completed a 4,300 square foot home in Newport Coast, CA for Javier Vasquez of Miguel’s and Miguel’s Jr. restaurants.



Being one of the few modern buildings in the neighborhood, DEX mixed its dramatic features with softer touches to maintain a sense of community. The façade is composed of palm green Hardie Plank siding and a butterfly roof offset by a delicate white plaster wall that conceals the main entry. The façade’s strong geometric lines and use of color are balanced by subtle landscaping that includes drought-resistant landscaping, a koi pond, and a custom-designed water feature that channels water through linear slots. DEX strategically incorporated warmer materials, such as wood in unexpected areas like the underside of the roof, and decking, found around the pond. Theses elements give the home a modern presence without making it feel cold or unapproachable alongside the neighborhood’s more traditional homes.

Beyond the variety of visible design elements, DEX also sought to minimize the home’s footprint to make it more energy efficient. Due to the strong Southern sun the lot receives, DEX employed a variety of passive cooling techniques to reduce the home’s mechanical cooling needs. To keep sunlight from overheating the home during the day, they developed a series of overhangs and sunscreens to prevent solar heat gain. DEX also designed two roof gardens and a thoughtfully landscaped front yard with low-water consumption plants in place of a standard roofing system and a water-hungry grass lawn. Inside the home DEX created natural ventilation systems to utilize the coastal breezes that sweep through the neighborhood. Above the double height staircase there is an electronically operated skylight that releases hot air when open, creating an immediate cooling effect. Beyond passive cooling techniques, the site is also ready for solar panel installation, which will serve to make the home even more energy efficient.

With their first Orange County home complete, DEX continues to raise the standard for warm, modern spaces that combine thoughtful design with coastal living.

Project YR is about ready to break ground. The name is short for Yamhill retreat. (Yamhill county is where the project is located in Oregon.)

The goal of YR was to provide a quite place to reflect and view Oregon’s wine country. The space is small and minimal and provides a focused view of the valley below.

The entry procession is somewhat compressed - under a low canopy on a raised concrete platform. Once the entry threshold is crossed however, the ceiling opens up to a 20’ tall light well and the concrete platform steps down into the common space, drawing one into the space and towards the valley views to the South.
.

Decrepit wood structures removed from the site offer thick planks of wood used to make sliding panels along the South side to protect the building during long unused periods. The same wood is used on the interior to line an east / west circulation path with sliding panels hiding storage space and the water closet.
.

Drawing inspiration from the countryside both for it’s durability and suede like texture, weathering steel is used as an exterior material, while clean white plaster on the interior creates an almost gallery backdrop for the exterior views.
