Floor Plan of Casa LUAA by Ana Smud

San Francisco transplants Heather Day and Chase McBride worked with Bay Area architect Ryan Leidner to create a striking rectilinear home in the California desert.

Inside the 1,930-square-foot structure, which is their full-time residence, con-crete floors and pale woods mimic the outdoor palette. A sliding glass wall from Fleetwood opens to an expansive patio and perfect sunset views.

In the living room, a wooden sculpture by local artist Dan John Anderson sits in front of a Mags sectional from Hay.

Lake|Flato designed a weekend home on North Fork, Long Island that nods to the rustic agricultural structures dotting the region. Western red cedar siding is stained black to help the home's three structures recede into the landscape.

Working with salvaged and donated materials (and without ferry service), the Stinn Family assembled this dreamy getaway piece by piece.
