Perched atop the crest of the dune between the ocean and bay, this home in the Hamptons utilizes elegant materials which were chosen for their simplicity, sustainability, low maintenance and ability to coexist with the sea, sand and vegetation of the site. The use of glass also provides the residents with stunning views of their surroundings.

Conceived as a bunker nestled into the rock, the Pierre, the French word for stone, celebrates the materiality of the site. The owner’s affection for a stone outcropping on her property and the views from its peak inspired the design of this house which from certain angles—almost disappears into nature.

The Courtyard House is a minimal residence located in London, United Kingdom, designed by De Rosee Sa. On the site of a former garage located in an awkward space between rear terraced gardens and a row of 16 west-London garages. The owners of the site live across the road and originally bought it to prevent it from being developed. Seeing an opportunity, our clients have decided to develop the land themselves. Planning restrictions only allow a single story above ground, so we proposed a half basement to meet the client’s brief for a two-bedroom house. Windows in the the boundary wall are not possible. In response to this, our design includes two atria that bring daylight into courtyard spaces and roof lights throughout to draw light into the house. The house’s interior spaces will give onto the new courtyards through steel and glass ‘crittal’ style doors. Western red cedar clads one of the courtyard walls and passes inside to clad the small rooms.

For a San Francisco couple living on a hill overlooking the Mission District in San Francisco, glass walls were a must. Indoor louvers allow the residents to frame their view of the city, much like the aperture on a camera.

The house that started it all: Philip Johnson's Glass House in New Canaan. He and David Whitney used to invite great minds from the architecture, design, and art worlds to the house for evenings of discussion and debate. When the Glass House opened to the public in 2007, its programmers continued the invitation-only tradition.
