"Restraint in design is one of the most fundamentally difficult things to do, and this project exemplifies that approach. Simple materials placed beautifully, almost like a little village." - Jury comment

"This was an amazingly elegant building and achieved its power and strength just for the honest use of materials, the expression of space, and the minimal means. It's just a lovely, lively space. It makes you want to visit, Very comfortable and beautiful views." - Jury comment

The architect developed a plan that would wrap new construction around all four sides of the original 800 square foot house, doubling its size. A new guest room is housed in a separate structure connected via a glass bridge. Barn-red cedar siding, an unpainted wraparoud deck, and an outdoor ski closet clad in standing-seam metal "put a modern spin on the 'homestead' vernacular." - Home & Design magazine, "Modern Mountain Makeover"

This weekend residence was built "around a sweeping bend in Virginia's Shenandoah River, designed to defer to the region's natural beauty and draws on its building tradition. Unpretentious materials, used in unexpected ways, give the house a sense of rustic sophistication." - Custom Home Magazine

A new three-story addition to the 13.3' wide, two-story townhouse includes a skylit central stair that welcomes natural light into all three floors.

Along with a master bedroom with views to the Potomac River, the design adds highly-coveted off-street parking in this dense Foggy Bottom neighborhood.

The addition to this waterfront house on the Chesapeake Bay responds to the owners' needs for a 2200 square foot house that can serve 50 people as comfortably as five. The entry addition makes up for its limited size with its height, while the design of the new living room includes elements that ensure a sense of intimacy within its soaring space.

This house was a 1080 square foot "shack on the water" on a narrow site on the Chesapeake Bay. Only 420 square feet of new construction was allowed.

The solution achieves a sense of graciousness by combining high spaces with efficient, "shared" spaces. A semiprivate courtyard is created between the main house and the two story accessory building, a familiar feature for these Oklahoma natives.
