AoDK Inc.A couple wanted a weekend retreat without spending a majority of their getaway in an automobile. Therefore, a lot was purchased along the Rocky River with the vision of creating a nearby escape less than five miles away from their home. This 1,300 sf 24’ x 24’ dwelling is divided into a four square quadrant with the goal to create a variety of interior and exterior experiences while maintaining a rather small footprint.
Typically, when going on a weekend retreat one has the drive time to decompress. However, without this, the goal was to create a procession from the car to the house to signify such change of context. This concept was achieved through the use of a wood slatted screen wall which must be passed through. After winding around a collection of poured concrete steps and walls one comes to a wood plank bridge and crosses over a Japanese garden leaving all the stresses of the daily world behind.
The house is structured around a nine column steel frame grid, which reinforces the impression one gets of the four quadrants. The two rear quadrants intentionally house enclosed program space but once passed through, the floor plan completely opens to long views down to the mouth of the river into Lake Erie.
On the second floor the four square grid is stacked with one quadrant removed for the two story living area on the first floor to capture heightened views down the river. In a move to create complete separation there is a one quadrant roof top office with surrounding roof top garden space. The rooftop office is accessed through a unique approach by exiting onto a steel grated staircase which wraps up the exterior facade of the house. This experience provides an additional retreat within their weekend getaway, and serves as the apex of the house where one can completely enjoy the views of Lake Erie disappearing over the horizon.
Visually the house extends into the riverside site, but the four quadrant axis also physically extends creating a series of experiences out on the property. The Northeast kitchen quadrant extends out to become an exterior kitchen & dining space. The two-story Northwest living room quadrant extends out to a series of wrap around steps and lounge seating. A fire pit sits in this quadrant as well farther out in the lawn. A fruit and vegetable garden sits out in the Southwest quadrant in near proximity to the shed, and the entry sequence is contained within the Southeast quadrant extension. Internally and externally the whole house is organized in a simple and concise way and achieves the ultimate goal of creating many different experiences within a rationally sized footprint.

Stebnitz Builders, Inc.This 2,500 square-foot home, combines the an industrial-meets-contemporary gives its owners the perfect place to enjoy their rustic 30- acre property. Its multi-level rectangular shape is covered with corrugated red, black, and gray metal, which is low-maintenance and adds to the industrial feel.
Encased in the metal exterior, are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and an aging-in-place suite that is made for the in-laws. This home also boasts two garage doors that open up to a sunroom that brings our clients close nature in the comfort of their own home.
The flooring is polished concrete and the fireplaces are metal. Still, a warm aesthetic abounds with mixed textures of hand-scraped woodwork and quartz and spectacular granite counters. Clean, straight lines, rows of windows, soaring ceilings, and sleek design elements form a one-of-a-kind, 2,500 square-foot home
The Fish GalleryA One of Kind, this floating aquarium divides the entry from the family room but keeps with the open concept of the entire space. Filtration equipment for this project is located on a lower level with the piping inside the columns on the sides of the aquarium.
DK HomesWe had the opportunity to come alongside this homeowner and demo an old cottage and rebuild this new year-round home for them. We worked hard to keep an authentic feel to the lake and fit the home nicely to the space.
We focused on a small footprint and, through specific design choices, achieved a layout the homeowner loved. A major goal was to have the kitchen, dining, and living all walk out at the lake level. We also managed to sneak a master suite into this level (check out that ceiling!).

Kelly Martin ArchitectureThe heart of the home consists of the living room and the family room, separated by a large two sided fire place. This created the sense of 'rooms' in a largely open part of the house. The finishes are modern while the furniture is soft and comfortable.
ATELIER BUSHIDODans un but d'optimisation d'espace, le projet a été imaginé sous la forme d'un aménagement d'un seul tenant progressant d'un bout à l'autre du studio et regroupant toutes les fonctions.
Ainsi, le linéaire de cuisine intègre de part et d'autres un dressing et une bibliothèque qui se poursuit en banquette pour le salon et se termine en coin bureau, de même que le meuble TV se prolonge en banc pour la salle à manger et devient un coin buanderie au fond de la pièce.
Tous les espaces s'intègrent et s'emboîtent, créant une sensation d'unité. L'emploi du contreplaqué sur l'ensemble des volumes renforce cette unité tout en apportant chaleur et luminosité.
Ne disposant que d'une pièce à vivre et une salle de bain attenante, un système de panneaux coulissants permet de créer un "coin nuit" que l'on peut transformer tantôt en une cabane cosy, tantôt en un espace ouvert sur le séjour. Ce système de délimitation n'est pas sans rappeler les intérieurs nippons qui ont été une grande source d'inspiration pour ce projet. Le washi, traditionnellement utilisé pour les panneaux coulissants des maisons japonaises laisse place ici à du contreplaqué perforé pour un rendu plus graphique et contemporain.
