The couple added the wainscot, installed by Seamus, and painted in Farrow & Ball Red Earth to continue the “color story” from the breakfast room. The white oak built-in has much needed storage behind the cane cabinet fronts and display. The Caitlin couch by Everygirl for Interior Define sits atop a vintage checkered rug with an Anthropologie coffee table and Hay Paper Shade overhead.

In this Australian project, a resort-worthy swimming pool sits beside the industrial-chic kitchen and living area. It's a joy to swim in, of course, but the body of water also provides evaporative cooling for the courtyard.

On the entrance deck, a hand-crafted wooden couple welcomes visitors. The U-shaped deck surrounds the entire lower level.

Floor Plan of Casa Flecha by Max-A

Casa Flecha is accessed via an open-air “tunnel” that cuts into the center of the home. The tunnel also leads to a small office, which is not accessible via the interior to create a physical division between work and play.

A woodburning stove not only heats the home, but also the water that flows into its bathrooms.

The pitched garage roof is topped with 14 solar panels, which provide much of the home’s electricity (though the couple sometimes switch on a generator in the darker winter months).

Noguera says the design is a modern twist on traditional Patagonian galpones, or wooden sheds, which are found throughout the region.

The bathrooms feature ceramic wall tiles by Noi Estudio.

Adair has long wished for Togo chairs, but as much as she loves the design, she tries not to be too precious about it. “We let the kids use them how they want, and they’re perfect fort furniture,” she says. “They’re really durable. It’s a design that makes architect parents happy.”

The Sky Room is a place for homework, for play, and for overlooking the landscape.

The home is located at Ragged Point, and the young family is always “running full out,” as Adair says—so she and Kopp cheekily named the project the Run Ragged house.

There’s even a sense of play in the entryway: Bocci lights are installed in the layout of the Orion constellation.

Adair and Kopp built the booth right into the kitchen island to help make the kitchen the center of the house. “It’s purposeful programming,” says Adair. “We want to have more conversations with our kids. So even if we’re cooking, we’re still right there.” The cabinets here store snacks and art supplies.
