PROJECT Berkshire House ARCHITECT R D Gentzler, FRAMEWORK ARCHITECTURE fwarchitecture.com LOCATION Monterey, Massachusetts Like knots in a tree, compelling designs sometimes form around an impediment. When Maricela Salas and Mary McGoff purchased a piece of land in the Berkshires, they had no idea that a rocky ledge would complicate construction of the simple house they’d imagined. But it also gave them exactly what they were after: a retreat that immerses them in the natural world. Having camped in the region for years, the couple wanted their new house to approximate the connection with the land they’d felt sleeping in their tent. They’ve happily shared a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan for 15 years, so they were more than willing to forgo a sprawling footprint. After an informal competition among colleagues and…

PROJECT Chilewich-Sultan Residence ARCHITECT Edelman Sultan Knox Wood Architects LOCATION Columbia County, New York Sandy Chilewich and her husband, Joe Sultan, had always been beachgoers, heading out every summer to their ramshackle house on Fire Island—a perfect place for a family with two young sons. But with the boys now grown, and that community overgrown, they were restless and ready for something different. The couple also wanted a place they could go yearround. They had long dreamed of building their own house and decided to search for land in Columbia County, in upstate New York. They weren’t looking for magnificent vistas. “We wanted a place that felt contained,” says Chilewich, creative director of the groundbreaking, eponymously named company that produces woven-vinyl tablemats and flooring. She recalls finding their land on…

PROJECT Dufner Studio DESIGNER Dufner Heighes LOCATION New York, New York When you walk into the studio apartment of architectural designer Greg Dufner you’re greeted by an unusual feature: a foyer. An entryway like this might seem like a waste of precious inches when working with just 520 square feet, but as Dufner’s apartment proves, a small space doesn’t have to mean doing without. “I really wanted to create the spaces that we make for our clients, even if they’d be smaller and more intimate,” says Dufner, who, as a partner in the architecture and design firm Dufner Heighes, regularly works on luxurious residences more palatial than petite. “I wanted to have a sense of entry, the feeling that there was room for the bed that was separate from the…

PROJECT Corcoran-Hunt Residence ARCHITECT Bunker Workshop bunkerworkshop.com LOCATION Boston, Massachusetts Universal design is actually quite specific. That’s what architect Chris Greenawalt of Bunker Workshop learned while renovating Amy and Elizabeth Corcoran-Hunt’s apartment in Boston’s South End. Amy, a writer whose legs were almost completely paralyzed by a neurological disease in 2013, recalls when she was measured for her wheelchair: “It was done in great detail, so it fit perfectly.” For their home, the couple wanted a space that was equally tailored to her needs. When they connected with Greenawalt in 2014, the Corcoran-Hunts and their daughter, Caroline, then two years old, were in the process of relocating from a duplex to a single floor apartment that promised greater accessibility, with one notable exception: the kitchen. Closed off and loaded with…

PROJECT Premaydena House ARCHITECT Misho+Associates LOCATION Tasmania, Australia When you think of beach houses, this simple box, clad in vivid orange and red metal panels, probably isn’t what springs to mind. But then, the Tasman Peninsula, a remote region of Tasmania, itself a remote island that dangles 150 miles south of Australia, isn’t typical of the country’s beaches, either. David Burns and Tania Soghomonian, the house’s owners, had previously worked with architect Misho Vasiljevich of Misho+Associates on their house in Sydney. The partnership is a natural fit: The couple both work in the field of environmental science and sustainability, and the architect specializes in energy conservation. In 2005, Vasiljevich relocated his practice to Hobart, Tasmania’s capital, to escape the urban intensity of Sydney. His clients, however, never even saw the…

PROJECT Woody the Trailer DESIGNERS Brian and Joni Buzarde LOCATION Marble, Colorado As Brian and Joni Buzarde closed in on their 30s, they were eager to settle down in a place of their own. But there was a problem: Neither knew where their fledgling careers would take them. So they devised a solution that was unorthodox but practical, and they built a house that could go with them no matter where they ended up. Their 236-square-foot trailer—which Brian’s brother, Brandon, nicknamed Woody—has made upward mobility possible, having moved with them from Austin, Texas, to the Rocky Mountains hamlet of Marble, Colorado. Before finding its current mooring, this modern backcountry cabin on wheels was nestled in a trailer park not far from cattle ranches and wilderness trails, where the couple’s home…

PROJECT Island Bay House ARCHITECT WireDog Architecture LOCATION Island Bay, New Zealand For Andrew Simpson, the so-called New Zealand Dream—a classic colonial villa on a tidy suburban quarteracre lot—never held much appeal. When he was a student and a habitué of Wellington’s nightlife scene, Simpson lived in a variety of eccentric spaces, including an active warehouse in which he contrived a home by bending walls of corrugated cardboard into complex, self-supporting shapes. When his fiancée, Krysty Peebles, entered the picture, the couple tried living in a traditional home but quickly labeled the attempt a failed experiment. “We found standard houses strangely unsatisfying,” Simpson says. “It made me realize a three-bedroom house with a garden doesn’t suit everyone. I had shaped my earlier dwellings rather than being pigeonholed into a specific…

PROJECT Cottage in Foster ARCHITECT 3SIXØ Architecture LOCATION Foster, Rhode Island The rural landscape of Foster, Rhode Island, a town 30 minutes west of Providence by car, is farmland reclaimed by trees. After the area was clear-cut and mainly used for agriculture a century ago, nature has slowly regenerated a sylvan blanket over its gently rolling hills. It’s there that artist Allison Paschke decided to build a 530-square-foot retreat from the urban thrum. “It’s sort of like a miniature cottage a miniature distance from the miniature city,” she says. To design the structure, Paschke enlisted the expertise of Providence-based architecture firm 3SIXO, a studio she had previously worked with on a loft renovation. While she enjoys living in the city, she yearned for a place where she could commune with…

PROJECT Parzyszek Residence ARCHITECT Jolanta Janiszewska jolantajaniszewska.com LOCATION Warsaw, Poland On a warm evening in downtown Warsaw, Bogusz Parzyszek, who’s just pulled down the Murphy bed from a flat panel in the wall of his small studio, jumps up on the mattress. “You’ve reminded me,” he says. He reaches above the recess of the bed, opening a cabinet door, previously flush with the wall. Out comes a stand-up oscillating fan in two pieces—first one, then the other. “I need to return this to a coworker.” It’s like a magic trick—this big fan pulled from a space that doesn’t look large enough to hold it. “ Having seen many ready-made Murphy beds, I thought the wall just looked ugly when they were folded. I tried to break that scheme.” —Jolanta Janiszewska,…
