SHED/HOUSE / Side Angle Side

Shed/House sits on a central Texas hill oriented to cast a sweeping southern view of Texas Hill Country. As you meander up the private road leading to the house, you are confronted with a blank facade that is shaped to be a common depiction of a shed. This blank vernacular silhouette faces the public road in order to camouflage the house as a shed within the agricultural landscape. The house then extrudes from this silhouette into a linear plan organized by six rectangles that are a progression of public to private space. As you pass the shed, you are led through a breezeway that doubles back on the view and starts the sequencing of interior spaces, which all feature a view/connection to the outside.

Beyond the Blueprint: Archiving Architecture as Collective Intelligence

When we talk about the future intelligence of architecture, much of the historical effort has centered on pushing boundaries—challenging norms, exploring alternatives, and projecting bold visions of what architecture could become. The advent of modernism exemplified this approach: radical new materials and construction methods gave rise to a vastly reimagined architectural future. This momentum continues today, with research institutions and leading practices constantly exploring innovative techniques, materials, and systems of making.

Flying Fox House / George Banks Architecture

Nestled in a bay-side suburb in Sydney, Flying Fox extends at the top of a sloped site that peers over the bay. The project's aim was to create a home that captures the northern sun and views of the bay. To address this, a large outdoor space featuring a swimming pool, outdoor living, and a kitchen was situated at the front of the site. This home layers a series of spaces that cascade along the sloped site, allowing views from the different parts of the building. The outdoor space serves as the core of the home, which connects to the main living areas. The bedroom levels are placed below and above this level, with a private office and bathrooms throughout.
