The House of Horns by WOJR is located in Los Altos Hills, United States. Enfolding an existing foundation, the house features a single-story upper level with above-ground chambers, a centerline stone fireplace carved from Danby marble and a cave-like bathing space bound by an ovoid column. Designed to be “an assemblage of instruments” capturing the natural cycles, it is surrounded by a wild meadow landscape of California-native grasses and scrub.
OPAL Architecture has nestled a modest home known as Sandbox into Cape Cod’s sand dunes, lined with brightly toned bedrooms, a deck and a neat living room. A “typical gable form” was rotated and extended to provide a series of spaces which are “less private”, such as a garage, located in the middle of the L-shaped home. As the spaces inside become more intimate, rooms were organised with larger and smaller windows set in darkened frames.
