A Simple Plan A Marmol Radziner–designed prefab house, trucked onto a remote Northern California site, takes the pain out of the construction process.

The Miele Range has three main components: an M Touch convection oven with a deep cavity for cooking large dishes, a smaller M Touch speed oven that can be used as a microwave or oven, and a warming drawer. The main oven on the range also gives the option to cook using steam, and a wireless roast probe is included to perfect meat cooking.

Two linked 1,000-square-foot pavilions are greater than a sum of their parts. The simply detailed, taut, flat-roofed home’s two wings form a T-shape. One wing runs north to south, parallel to a pool, and contains the open-plan living spaces. Photo by Matthew Millman.

The Rangetop offers users flexibility through the TrueSimmer function, infrared griddle, grill and much more.

Electric, Gas, Dual-Fuel, and Induction options are available.

Sleek digital controls characterize the Range Series. Miele's MasterChef automatic programs will help users cook a variety of dishes, from meat to bread—there are 15 bread recipes included.

The Range features a professional hood equipped with LED lighting and Baffle filters.

The home’s metal cladding is Pac-Clad, a material typically used for roofs.

The architect covered the exterior in Pac-Clad, a metal roofing material, because it's "cost-effective, durable, maintenance-free, and comes in various colors," says Church.

Beach days, park picnics, and backyard barbecues—wherever your Fourth of July weekend takes you, these products will elevate your event with ease.

Two Black Sheds incorporates all the conventional aspects of a weekend retreat in a rather unconventional way.

The project title “Casa 4.1.4” refers to the four main volumes, one central plaza and four patios. This simple configuration creates distinct, private spaces tied together with open-air common areas.

Loredana Dall’ Amico reads in the living room, where all the seating was designed by her husband. The floating stainless steel unit behind her is also his design and contains a state-of-the-art stereo system.

Shown here is another iteration of the modular Suspenders system, comprised of interconnected linear arms that support suspended LED luminaires. The collection can be configured in multiple graphic shapes and scales, with interchangeable luminaires in single drops or cluster formations.

Though the Burtons are landscape architects, they took an intentionally hands-off approach to their own land, which is part of the 1,800-acre Long Valley Ranch, a former cattle ranch. “We made very few moves, beyond planting fifty olive trees and some native shrubs and grasses,” says Bill. “We wanted nothing in the landscape to be edible or pretty, nothing to attract animals to the house.” Nevertheless, they’ve spotted plenty of fauna thanks to motion-activated “trail cams” they use to spy on local wildlife. To date they’ve snapped photos of mountain lions, bobcats, wild pigs, and a bear.

In the shower, handmade Bubble Hex tile from the Futura collection at the Portland–based company Clayhaus Tile makes a stunning statement.

Concrete pillars are key in the event of a tidal wave.

Architects Leslie and Julie Dowling, twin sisters and Michael Graves protégées, created this 1,000-square-foot, single-story home by linking two flat-roofed pavilions together in the shape of a T. The design of this Sonoma County home was inspired by Philip Johnson’s 1949 Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Doors and cabinets made of veneered Iroko chipboard are scattered throughout.
