Vetter ArchitectsThe owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest.
The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements:
- Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall
- Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space.
- Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room.
- Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters.
- Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge.
These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic.
The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.

Vetter ArchitectsThe client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment.
The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home.
Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition.
The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions.
The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.

Andison Residential DesignThis is not your traditional bungalow! While it shares some of the hallmarks of this historic home style, this bungalow brings the classic single-story design into the twenty-first century.
The black-and-white facade shows a simple, but incredibly well thought out design consisting of mostly straight lines and glass. Modern architecture is all about simple designs where less is more. Clean and uncluttered home exterior trends have gained popularity over the years, as many homeowners are yearning to live peacefully without excess.
Clean lines, basic forms, single-use of colour, repetition of structures and strategic use of metal, stone, stucco and glass materials are defining characteristics of this custom home in the upper-scale, inner-city community of North Glenmore Park in Calgary, Alberta.

La CASA JO se encuentra en la Urbanización Amberes, en Torrox (Málaga), en una parcela orientada a sur y ligeramente elevada, de manera que además de una buena orientación, disfruta de vistas al mar.
Los propietarios compraron la parcela con la vivienda construida en los años 70 y tras vivir unos años en ella, decidieron hacer una reforma total y añadir una primera planta, ya que necesitaban más espacio. La edificación en forma de L, tenía un muro que limitaba la relación de la vivienda con el paisaje. La vivienda en su estado original era una vivienda cerrada en sí misma, dotada de huecos pequeños y rejas. de forma que la relación con el entorno no era lo que sus propietarios deseaban para su vivienda.
Decidimos plantear la vivienda justo dentro del perímetro definido por la vivienda original, ya que estructuralmente estaba formada por muros de carga y con este planteamiento conseguimos reducir el coste de la reforma. Eliminamos todo lo que no fuese necesario a nivel estructural, reduciendo la longitud de los muros de carga todo lo posible obteniendo así el tamaño máximo de huecos. Proponemos una primera planta conteniendo los dormitorios, sobre el lado de la L que queda orientado a sur-este, donde tendremos las mejores vistas al mar y el sol de la mañana.
El resultado es una vivienda abierta al paisaje, dotada de espacios de transición entre espacio interior y exterior. Conseguimos una vivienda permeable tanto espacialmente como visualmente, dotada de terrazas y porches que permiten disfrutar del espacio interior y exterior en todo el año.
Como recursos para conseguir la permeabilidad, además de disponer los huecos evitando cualquier simetría, proponemos recorridos no lineales. Proponemos superficies homogéneas, de color blanco en las superficies verticales y de color gris claro en las horizontales, sin hacer ninguna diferencia entre interior y exterior. Planteamos una pared de vidrio corredera, que en lugar de cerrar, difumina el espacio. Otro elemento que potencia la permeabilidad espacial es la escalera de acceso a la primera planta, diseñada de una forma abierta.
