Heading Upstairs: portfolio preview

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Lauren Moss

We're heading upstairs to the Master Bedroom + Bath to share a few recent renderings for our project in Fullerton, Orange County.
The main public spaces at the first level feature sliding glass walls that allow the living room to open completely towards the view. At the upstairs level, the same design approach and considerations guided the layout, with the Master Suite taking advantage of its location and orientation to optimize views, employ passive heating strategies, and increase light, air and ventilation.

Only the second Portugese architect selected for the award, Souto de Moura is a relatively new name to most of us; however, the departure from the expected on behalf of the jury is a refreshing one, and we look forward to learning more about Souto de Moura's work.

We've been keeping our thoughts with the people of Japan and celebrating Japanese culture by revisiting some of our favorite architects from the country, and highlighting the art and architecture of emerging artists and designers, whose work is reflective of the culture of old and new, the relationship between tradition and technology, and the beauty of a landscape reflected in architects' interpretations of the vernacular.
