Armstrong Cottage sits in Peterborough, Canada, as a family retreat by Peter Braithwaite Studio. Two slender pavilions rise within a lakeside canopy, set lightly on the land yet engineered for a tough island site. The off-grid house ties childhood summers to a future-facing build, trading heavy foundations for bedrock-fixed steel and a kit-of-parts structure. It’s a modern escape with pragmatic grit.
Designed by Inaba Williams in 2023, the Santa Monica Courtyard Houses are exemplary net-zero homes in California, USA. Adapting to Title 24, their design champions energy-efficiency while preserving the coveted indoor-outdoor living of Southern California, setting a new standard for modern, sustainable homes.
