Formerly a logging town, Truckee, near Lake Tahoe in California, has now been developed into a popular mountain retreat. This is the location for a project undertaken by the local practice, Faulkner Architects, entitled Lookout. The specification is for a spacious family property to be enjoyed throughout the year.

Located in Taiwan, Residence C ( Yonghe Chen House) is a refurbishment project undertaken by the local practice of KC Design Studio. In this project, a small apartment with a number of dark rooms is transformed into a bright sophisticated urban home. Many drawbacks of the space were flipped to create design features such as an irregular shape, low ceilings and lack of natural light.

HAO Design had two main requests when hired by the Hsu family to design their new apartment in Pingtung City, Taiwan. The first was that the entire 165 square meter plan encompass the expansive park views outside the wide windows; the second, that every room be tailor made to suit each of the four family member's needs and stylistic desires. Scenic Ballade - as is the project's illustrative title - has fully met its marks.

Two apparently contradictory projects reveal the infinite possible opportunities offered by Living Divani design to the world of residential Contract. Male and female, ethereal and urban, rigorous and relaxing, they are characters capable of coexisting in the same style, thanks to its neutral shapes and artisanal details, which can be customized as desired in the choice of finishings.

Designed by architect Pete Kennon of Melbourne-based studio Kennon+ for a young family of five, this four bedroom home seamlessly combines a quaint Victorian cottage with a modern, concrete extension of minimalist grace and formalist rigour. Developed in close collaboration with its owners, award-winning hairdresser Joey Scandizzo and his wife, TV personality Jane Scandizzo, the house is a direct architectural response to the couple’s lifestyle and sensibilities, reflecting Kennon’s exploration of the relationship between architecture, memory and identity.
