Fairhaven Residence by DeForest Architects Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:43 PM PDT Fairhaven Residence by DeForest Architects Fairhaven Residence was designed by by DeForest Architects. The rooms and views in the house reveal themselves in an alternating fashion, like sheltered groves and open vistas during a walk in the woods. The exterior palette included concrete block, stained cedar siding, fiber-cement panels and painted steel. Fairhaven Residence by DeForest Architects The entry, living, and dining feature exposed steel and wood structure, and polished concrete floors that flow out to the landscape. A shadow garden at the heart of the house affords glimpses of bamboo, water, and light from nearly every room in the house, while the upper floor is turned slightly to capture even more light and distant views. A central skylight washes a two-story art wall that marks the shift from public to private hallway and sliding panels allow the owners to modulate the connection between public and private spaces.

Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas Posted: 07 Oct 2013 09:43 AM PDT Designed by Marlon Blackwell Architect, Fulbright Building located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. From Architect : ” A renovation project intended to revitalize the civic quality of a historically and architecturally significant library building, while inserting a new program of professional offices. The Fulbright Building was built in 1962 to house the Fayetteville Public Library and remained the Library's home until the Library moved to a new facility in 2004. Respecting the original design of the building the steel frame structure has remained relatively untouched. The upper floor of the building is lit from exterior glass windows and skylights cut into the existing roof. To make the lower floor more marketable, holes were cut in the upper floor slab below each of the skylights and staircases dropped into them. The 1990s addition, a double height space with a stair and handicap ramp, was converted into a large conference lounge area with an acoustical 'shroud,' clad in black zinc, suspended above. The sculptural figure of the 'shroud' acts as an art piece seen through the glass from the street. ” Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas Fulbright Building by Marlon Blackweel Architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas
