Plum Island House	Plum Island House Plum Island House celebrates the vernacular, the voluptuous, and the volumetric. Rising from the dunes of a New England barrier island, the house appears as a found object. Cedar shingles generate new form while responding to existing conditions: patterning a gradient over the façade that both invites and receives weathering; mediating seamlessly as three curvilinear volumes peel back from their orthogonal base.
HillGarten HillGarten punctuates a sense of meander. Nestled within a leisurely landscape, a pointed gabled roof provides a communal respite, propped up by belly columns in the round.	HillGarten
Brookline House	Brookline House Brookline House hacks a 1940’s Sears Roebuck catalog home through an uncanny rearrangement of familiar architectural elements (doors, windows and stairs) to navigate an atypically steep site. It unravels the traditional iconography of the home and frames contemporary living as a negotiation between new and former ideas of domesticity. The volume is wrapped in anodized aluminum, draped over the ridge of a gabled roof to meet the line of a concrete foundation on all sides. Standing seams on the façade determine the house’s appearance—flickering between 2D and 3D, between black, bronze, and copper hues.
Carr House Carr House gathers the geology of Johnstown, Ohio, into an above-ground shelter. Rubble discarded from local limestone quarries is collaged into liquid concrete; when cured, the composite assembly is tilted vertically. Exterior corners slip past right angles, exposing volumes that are both rugged and smooth. Carr House reappraises the value of debris, utilizing riprap as a finish material.	Carr House
Porter Loft	Porter Loft A polycarbonate movable wall, diaphanous linen curtain, extruded plywood bench, monolithic marble kitchen and polished stainless steel ‘mirrors’ transform a dilapidated studio into a materially rich, and cloud like, live/work loft.
Tesuque Studio Tesuque Studio is a concrete tilt-up structure that hovers between earthbound and ethereal. Five walls are poured directly on the ground, taking its texture with them into the vertical plane. Flat formwork translates to a five-sided volume as curved edges collude in three cylindrical roof slopes. The resulting building, a ceramic workshop and gallery in Tesuque, New Mexico, all but dissolves into its desert site.	Tesuque Studio
Hingham House	Hingham House Hingham House plays on the traditional beadboard and board and batten originally found throughout the historic cape style home. A continuous repetition of the 4″ vertical groove makes its way across surfaces, blending figure and void.
Kaffeology Kaffeology is a cafe composed of curves surfaced in plaster.	Kaffeology
Tilt-Up	Tilt-Up Tilt-Up Pavilion brings a playful approach to generic construction techniques. Five concrete walls are poured on-site and hoisted into place, their exposed edges revealing – layer after layer – the time it took to make them. Cold joints, pick points, and structural embeds become central actors, as the construction process reveals its theatrical leanings.
Halo Halo is part-salon, part-school, and part-clinic, designed for women and girls coping with cancer. Multiple compounding textures present the idea of “cosmetic” as generating both ornament and figure. Perimeter walls emulate the sensibilities of their surface material: playful, dreamy, and cloud-like.	Halo
Loose Fit	Loose Fit Somewhere between puffy shingles (a New England staple), an heirloom quilt, and the loose fit of a favorite pair of jeans, the pavilion speaks to the familiarity and nostalgia of our collective favorite things. 80 quilted panels are stuffed with recycled denim turned into building insulation and supplemented with fabric waste from the garment industry. The result is a chromatic speckling and indigo hue. Casually draped over the frame, each puffy panel invites us to walk, bump, hug, and lounge freely between the pillow-like walls.
Serriframe Serriframe keeps a low profile as it tiptoes through Boston’s neighborhoods. The system borrows brick to knowingly subvert it, rendering a reverse bond pattern in weathered steel. Serriframe is conspicuous camouflage: rigidly versatile, materially transparent. Experienced in motion, Serriframe becomes a flicker in the urban scene.	Serriframe
Dimple Chair	Dimple Chair Dimple Chair combines traditional handcraft with digital fabrication. Timeless woodworking techniques shape the chair’s figure, while the pre-programmed CNC machine carves sundry impressions into the grain of the seat.
