Modulhäuser A und B, Rheingrafenstraße 112, direkt am Wald. Wir hatten das Grundstück vom Staat ersteigert, eine Konversionsfläche der Amerikaner. Wir, beide Architekten aus Stuttgart kommend, wo wir nach dem Studium arbeiteten, die Schwester und der Schwager, alle jeweils mit Kindern. Sie wohnten zu dem Zeitpunkt in Frankfurt. Bis auf meine Frau, kommen wir von hier, weswegen wir es Heimat nennen. Die Häuser mußten günstig werden, wir boten Eigenleistungen. Wir die Architektenleistungen, das Mauern der Kerne mit Familie und Freunden sowie der Trockenbau und Möbel mit dem Vater. Wir bauten mit Firmen, die Fundamente und die Hülle, im Haus aber nur das Nötigste. Wegen der Kosten reduzierten wir auf einen Ofen für die Übergangszeit, eine simple Fussbodenheizung, drei Zimmer, Küche und ein Bad.
Die Häuser fügen sich in die 60er Jahre Flachdach-Nachbarschaftsstruktur ein und stehen städtebaulich doch selbstbewußt da.
Drei Module, drei Türen, 11 Fenster plus ein Innenfenster je Haus. Ein Modul Wohnen, ein Modul Rückzug und ein Modul Aussenlager für Mobilität und Gartenwerkzeug. Arrangiert als Dorf, mit einem Platz in der Mitte, für die hausübergreifende Gemeinschaft.
Im Inneren sind die Häuser wie eine Stadt organisiert. Die Familie als Gemeinschaft, die Struktur mit zentraler Halle und Straßen, sogar Gassen. Ruhige Ecken, der Allgemeinheit dienende Infrastruktur und Rückzugsräume. Adressen fürs Arbeiten, Lesen, Schlafen oder Musizieren. Es lässt sich leben, zu zweit, zu dritt oder zu viert. Jetzt als Familie mit Kind und im hohen Alter mit Servicekraft. Niemals zu klein, oder zu groß. Es entstand eine Höhle mit grandioser Aussicht, ein Ort der Geborgenheit, der sich im Sommer aufklappt und zum Garten hin öffnet, im Winter auf 120 qm beheizte Fläche beschränkt. Ein Wohnraumensemble, oszillierend zwischen Ex- und Introvertiertheit. Reduziert – auf das Wesentliche.
Wir hatten jeweils 240.000,- € Gesamtbudget für unsere Schutzhüllen. Hierfür verzichteten wir auf einen Keller. Die Häuser schmiegen sich ins natürliche Gelände, um Aushub zu sparen. Was dennoch weichen mußte, wurde im Stahlbetonrahmen wieder aufgefüllt und bildet somit den verankernden Sockel. Wir verzichteten auf eine Bodenplatte und haben den Estrich direkt auf den eingebrachten Schotter verbaut. Ein Strassenaufbau, sozusagen. Es gibt keine Installationsebene an den Aussenwänden, dafür nur kurzwegige, konzentrierte Technik im Kern. Die Leichtbauwände sind reversibel, damit es anpassbar bleibt. Unsere Oberflächen sind sichtbar belassen, meist unbehandelt.
Wir haben viel über Notwendiges und Überflüssiges diskutiert, unsere Bedürfnisse definiert. Wir wohnten zuvor auf 85 qm in einer Etagenwohnung mit Balkon und kannten die Häuser unserer Freunde und Bekannten mit 160 qm oder mehr. Wir wollen einen Ort in der Heimat schaffen, der unsere großstädtische Prägung nicht negiert. Wir manifestierten unser Erlerntes und hinterfragen Gepflogenheiten. Wir erschafften ein Stück Kultur in der durch den Wald geprägten Landschaft.
ANX / Aaron Neubert ArchitectsA steeply sloping property in the Franklin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles is the site for this 200 square foot writer’s studio, labeled the “Black Box” for its minimal geometry and dark stained cladding. Floating above an existing residence and capturing a panoramic view of Griffith Park and its famed Observatory, the Black Box serves as the office for a technology author and columnist.
Entry to the structure is obtained by ascending the hillside stairs and passing below the tree canopy enveloping the studio. A custom fabricated steel fenestration system opens to the entry platform though a pair of telescoping doors. The assembly turns the corner and terminates in a picture window, directing the occupant to the expansive views. The position of the studio and the arrival sequence creates the desired separation between home life and work life.

Island Cottage is an existing dwelling constructed in 1830, in a conservation area at the southern limit of Sidlesham Quay village, West Sussex. The property was highlighted by the local authority as a key example of rural vernacular character for homes in the area, but is also sited in a major flood risk area. Such a precarious context therefore demanded a considered approach, however the original building had been extended over many years mostly with insensitive and cumbersome extensions and additions.
Our clients purchased Island Cottage in 2015. They had a strong sense of belonging to the area, as both had childhood memories of visiting Pagham Harbour and were greatly drawn to live on the South Coast after many years working and living in London. We were keen to help them discover and create a home in which to dwell for many years to come. Our brief was to restore the cottage and reconcile it’s history of unsuitable extensions to the landscape of the nature reserve of Sidlesham and the bay of Pagham beyond. The original house could not be experienced amongst the labyrinthine rooms and corridors and it’s identity was lost to recent additions and refurbishments. Our first move was to establish the lines of the original cottage and draw a single route through the house. This is experienced as a simple door from the library at the formal end of the house, leading from north to south straight towards the rear garden on both floors.
By reinstating the library and guest bedroom/bathroom spaces above we were able to distinguish the original cottage from the later additions. We were then challenged by the new owners to provide a calm and protective series of spaces that make links to the landscape of the coast. Internally the cottage takes the natural materials of the surrounding coastline, such as flint and timber, and uses these to dress walls and floors. Our proposals included making sense of the downstairs spaces by allowing a flowing movement between the rooms. Views through and across the house are opened up so to help navigate the maze like spaces. Each room is open on many sides whilst limiting the number of corridor spaces, and the use of split levels help to mark one space to the next.
The first floor hosts three bedrooms, each of unique style and outlook. The main living space features a corner window, referencing an open book set into the wall at the height of a desk. Log burners, sliding doors, and uncovered historic materials are part of the main reception rooms. The roof is accessible with a steep stair and allows for informal gathering on a grass terrace which gains views far beyond the immediate gardens and neighbouring nature reserve. The external facades have been uplifted with larch cladding, new timber windows, and a series of timber loggias set into the gardens. Our landscaping strategy alleviates flood risk by providing a bung to the garden edge, whilst encouraging native species planting to take over the new timber structure that is directly connected to the house. This approach will help to plant the house in its surroundings, which is vital given the local connection to the Sidlesham Nature Reserve.
Throughout the project the client sourced much of the interior finishes and fixtures directly from salvage yards and online second hand boutiques. The house is decorated with reclaimed materials referencing the worn and weary effect of time spent on the beach or at the sea side.
Now complete, the house genuinely feels reconciled to its place, a haven for our clients, and an exemplary project for our future clients who wish to link their childhoods with their future homes.
Rudloff Custom BuildersWe renovated the exterior and the 4-car garage of this colonial, New England-style estate in Haverford, PA. The 3-story main house has white, western red cedar siding and a green roof. The detached, 4-car garage also functions as a gentleman’s workshop. Originally, that building was two separate structures. The challenge was to create one building with a cohesive look that fit with the main house’s New England style. Challenge accepted! We started by building a breezeway to connect the two structures. The new building’s exterior mimics that of the main house’s siding, stone and roof, and has copper downspouts and gutters. The stone exterior has a German shmear finish to make the stone look as old as the stone on the house. The workshop portion features mahogany, carriage style doors. The workshop floors are reclaimed Belgian block brick.

K Squared Builders - Dale KramerOriginally a simple log cabin, this farm house had been haphazardly added on to several times over the last century.
Our task: Design/Build a new 2 story master suite/family room addition that blended and mended the "old bones" whilst giving it a sharp new look and feel.
We also rebuilt the dilapidated front porch, completely gutted and remodeled the disjointed 2nd floor including adding a much needed AC system, did some needed structural repairs, replaced windows and added some gorgeous stonework.
