After living ten years in another house he designed in Yokahama, Hosaka and his wife decided to move to Tokyo for an easier commute.
A decorative cinder block wall edges the property and provides a sense of enclosure without hemming in the yard too tightly.
At the rear of the house, the garage and the adjacent warehouse form a secluded courtyard the owners enjoy as an extension of the dining room.
By changing the roofline, Beebe Skidmore introduced light and usable space to the third floor. "It was not a lot of extra space, but we got headroom," explains Beebe.
The main room opens to the quad through a large pivoting garage door.

The Lost Whiskey Cabin stands on a rocky bluff overlooking Virginia's countryside.
The home’s geometric silhouette echoes the classic typology of the region’s gable roof barns. “We took our inspiration from this vernacular architecture and re-interpreted it with a contemporary twist,” Dworkind says.
What Carstensen saved on labor costs he was able to put into furnishings. The interior of the screened-in porch is outfitted with a mix of furnishings, both vintage and new.

The garden has been prepared with electrical and plumbing services in case they are required for the future installation of a summer house.
"The building’s unique design and appearance helps it to stand out even when dwarfed by inner-city neighbors," says Ryan. "As one of 10,000 arches that dissect neighborhoods across London, it is a model that can be adapted for broad community benefit."

This atrium connects to private rooms, including two bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms.
Though the site is narrow with limited sunlight exposure, aspects, and views, these conditions were overcome with the creation of lofty, skylit interiors that free the building from the constraints of its location.
"Archway Studios occupies part of a rail viaduct; a vaulted workshop linked to an atrium with residential alcoves," says Undercurrent principal architect, Didier Ryan. "The design works with the contrast between the compressed, cavernous qualities of the arch—and the slender, ecclesial spaces of the atrium."
The common areas are located at different levels beneath a three-story atrium.
Ingeniously constructed with an exterior of slim, steel foils that form a protective, acoustic shell around the entire house, Archway Studios presently combines a family residence and a photography studio.
