In a former Prussian military uniform factory, the largest building in a group of brick barracks that has been gradually rebuilt by several artists and architects since the 1970s, the architects have created a 4,520-square-foot, distinctive studio and residence for the conceptual artist Karin Sander.
Located near the eastern end of Long Island’s north fork, on a waterside bluff of the largest glacial moraine in the world, this house is a refuge for an artist/writer who escapes here from Manhattan, making plans for the house to become a permanent home.
Surrounded by hedgerows and overlooking Bellême Forest, in the cultivated countryside of Normandy’s Perche region, this cube-like house is set on one-third of a 492-foot-long plot of land—standing in an isolated residential area.
The house began its life in 1949 as a modest four-room row house on one of the steepest streets in San Francisco’s Noe Valley. Dramatically expanded with two new floor levels, the building is now home to an active family of five with ample space for guests, parties, and projects.
Located in the upscale village known as Barvikha, this estate contains three buildings in a line on the site: a garage, clad in black slate, a 15,048-square-foot house, finished with white glass panels, and a wood-clad 1,219-square-foot guest house and pool.
Opening seamlessly to the tree of a former estate, this 5,300-square-food country home in a New York settlement reflects a family's desire for a luxurious—yet unpretentious—raw and comfortable retreat.
