Few architectural design problems are as tricky as adding to a building that is rigorously symmetrical. If not sensitively conceived and carefully executed, an expansion can compromise the integrity and compositional balance of the original. But such was the challenge faced by Tokyo-based Kengo Kuma for his first commission in the United States: a new wing for an almost temple-like mid-century modern house in New Canaan, Connecticut.
An empty-nester couple desired a modest structure that pays sincere deference to its forest site on the Door Peninsula of eastern Wisconsin.
For his firm's first project, Swiss architect Benjamin Krampulz of Bkarch gave new meaning to a barn raising. A pair of avid cross-country skiers asked the architect to convert an 80-year-old livestock barn—once the home of sheep, cattle, and mounds of hay—into a modern getaway for themselves and guests.
Perspective house of the month: On a wooded site in Deephaven, Minnesota, Snow Kreilich Architects conceived a geometric cedar-clad retreat overlooking Lake Minnetonka.
The clients sought a house that was durable, sustainable, and offered privacy in an urban environment. They originally wanted to convert an existing warehouse into a house but decided that to achieve their programmatic goals, it would be easier to build an entirely new house.
The architects reimagined the contemporary rowhouse through this renovation and expansion of an 1899 wood-frame house that had been stripped of detail and left in disrepair.
