Looking Glass — A Revitalized Lakefront Retreat

Looking Glass — A Revitalized Lakefront Retreat

Looking Glass sits on the shore of Lake Washington in Seattle, WA, United States, a reimagined house by Olson Kundig for multigenerational living by the water. The project reworks a 1990s split-level into a modern, family-focused retreat, pairing reflective materials with a calm, lake-ready palette. Inside and out, the composition balances open gathering zones with quieter corners for reading, working, and watching the light move across the lake.

Backstage at The Old Vic by Haworth Tompkins

Backstage at The Old Vic expands the Grade II* listed theatre in London, United Kingdom, with a new charitable wing by Haworth Tompkins. The project folds a café, learning centre, rehearsal rooms and event venues into one extension, giving the institution a daily civic presence beyond performance nights. With community access, sustainability and accessibility embedded from the outset, the building reframes how a historic theatre can work for its neighbours as much as its artists.
