The Savvana House at Punta Chilen by dRN Architect

Savvana House at Punta Chilen
Located on the tip of a peninsula on the island of Chiloe, the site offers an open view of the horizon 360ยบ around it and distant views over the Andes mountains where at least 8 volcanos can be seen (some of them still active). A rhythmic repetition of columns on the first floor carry the structure to the perimeter and generates changing shadows on the interiors. The oblique shape of the corten steel roof on the second floor defines an irregular perimeter opposed to the flat line of the horizon, creating a contained living space to inhabit during the rainy days of Chiloe. site dRN Architect

The Great 33rd Residence in Manhattan Beach, CA by Rockefeller

The Great Residence

Located off a walk street with views of the Pacific Ocean and Malibu coastline, this residence is The Great 33rd Residence an exercise in careful space planning by Rockefeller. Working within the confines of a narrow 30 x 60-foot envelope, the design team pushed the house to the limits of height, width, and depth, which left little perimeter space to satisfy the client’s desire for a garden.
The solution was to create an open green space in the center of the structure, at the ground floor level.  On one side of this are the children's rooms, on the other are the master bedroom and bath, which open to what has become an interior Zen garden.
