The firm’s goal was not to erase the existing home, but to "strengthen the initial intent of the architecture," says StudioFour director Sarah Henry. "The existing external brick language was identified as a strength to the original design. We wanted to build on this strength and let the architectural language bleed inside to inform the interiors." The external brickwork has been rendered with a tinted sand render, color-matched to Porter’s Paints ‘River Stone.’

“They also identified that they enjoy eating outside, so the relationship to the garden was really important. To enhance this, we incorporated a kitchen window that opens to become a servery and large glazed doors that allows the dining to flow out onto the deck,” said the firm.

The architects and engineers enlisted the help of a tree doctor to identify a design that wouldn’t compromise the health of each tree. As a solution, the steel ring surrounding the trunks includes enough space for each tree to naturally grow in diameter for at least 25 years.

The Pine Plains, New York, home of Elise and Arnold Goodman boasts 48 windows, the largest of which measures 8'6'' by 7'6''. As architect Preston Scott Cohen explains, the "free facade makes it impossible to identify how many levels there are, or even to tell the difference between a door and a window."

Fittingly, there are numerous whimsical elements inside Lake Cottage, a reinterpreted tree house in Ontario. There is the wood-burning fireplace with the house-shaped surround, for example, the scalloped shingles, and the staircase made from a huge maple log scraped of its bark that leads to the loft. "This abstract nature of the interior spaces allows imagination to flow, and those spaces that could be identified as a domestic interior can suddenly become play spaces," say the architects.

By the time he reached out to the architects, the client, Chilean real estate developer Andrés Galesio, had already identified a location for the cabin. It was right by the edge of a bluff on his steep, half-acre yard, set some 300 feet above sea level, with cypress trees all around.

Built with a steel frame, the Frost House features panels of styrofoam between aluminum sheets for the exterior walls and styrofoam between plywood for the roof and floors. Bold, primary colors accentuate its geometric form.  
Shortly after Karen Valentine and Bob Coscarelli purchased the home in 2016, they began to unearth nuggets of information about its pedigree. Their realtor had provided a brochure that identified the prefab as designed by architect Emil Tessin for the now-defunct Alside Homes Corporation based out of Akron, Ohio, which had held a patent for the structure’s aluminum paneling. Their new neighbors provided a stack of Alside Homes sales materials, floor plans of various models, and even a script that had been written for salespeople during home tours. They determined that the Frost House had been a sales model for the company, and that Tessin had been the son of Emil Albert Tessin, the legal guardian of Florence Knoll.

Shallow trenches were dug in the locations where concrete footings will be eventually be poured. The objective is to identify the exact locations of tree roots so we can plan the fabrication and installation of sleeves that will allow the roots to pass through the footings.

As architect Preston Scott Cohen explains, the "free facade makes it impossible to identify how many levels there are, or even to tell the difference between a door and a window." From without, the windows reveal dramatic glimpses of the 18th-century barn farm and new steel structure that support the house. From within, says Elise, "Each season, each time of day, offers a different view of the world. It's spectacular."

"I'm always identified as being the best architectural photographer in the world," declares Shulman. "I disclaim that. I say, 'One of the best.'" The photographer paid $2,500 for his two-acre property, and $40,000 for the Raphael Soriano–designed studio and house, into which he moved in 1950. "All in cash," Shulman says. "My mother taught us, 'Never have a mortgage.'" Over the ensuing decades, he says, "I planted hundreds of trees and shrubs, to emulate how I lived as a child [on a farm in Connecticut]."

Every species is identified with a card that tells you what conditions the plant prefers, its cycles, what animals are attracted to it and what soil conditions and climate are best. I've been testing numerous shade plants to find a good solution for the shadiest part of the garden, and this Meadow Rue (Thalictrum fendleri) matches perfectly for our conditions of full shade with sandy shallow soils around the trees (a difficult combination).

An original Neutra rendering for his VDL II research center in Silver Lake, named for the Dutch philanthropist Dr. CH Van Der Leeuw, who financed the construction. Neutra identified it in his own hand as the “Silver Lake Research House, in the metropolitan middle, Richard J. Neutra.” The sketch was auctioned off at the event.
