Glass Houses Though the original plans called for a frameless wall of glass in the back, it turned out that it would eat up most of the budget.

In the project narrative published on asla.org, Mayer/Reed States: "For most homeless people coming off the street, it's hard to take the first step. We asked ourselves, how would we draw people in from sidewalks, vacant lots, doorways and undersides of bridges? We came to understand the symbolic and physical importance of passing through a gateway to enter the courtyard and seek help." Photo by Bruce Forster.

The kitchen is housed within a 615-square-foot addition to what had been a 1,547-square-foot house. The breakfast nook and a renovated and expanded master suite on the second floor overlook a newly landscaped backyard. The yard includes a patio and a hill, at far left, with a secluded seating area that Pacek and Roynon call "the camp."

Each project comes with an introductory paragraph that provides basic details such as name, location, year, and architect (when known). The meat of the book is its visuals, as evinced by the nearly full-spread of the 1973 Lavie Residence (designed by William F. Cody) and its striking indoor-outdooor design.

For the kitchen, American cherry wood was used to create cabinets that establish a warm and sturdy tone. Each piece of lumber was purchased at auction by the Brillharts and stored in New Hampshire, before being shipped to Miami and milled on site. The wood island is painted black to provide a point of visual contrast.

Mix Method The best way to integrate different furniture styles is to treat “the space like a gallery and place objects according to their colors,” Hayon says. He cautions against using too much natural wood furniture in a space with wood floors: “You need contrast.” In his home, contrasting materials, small porcelain objects, and an occasional black form enliven a palette of light gray furniture.

Within, a Mediterranean-style gravel garden designed by architect Joachim Kräftner offers an ideal spot for play and relaxation. Klauser calls it “a walk-in sculpture.”
