Hide Out House

A complete reworking of an original Frank Gehry design, the Hide Out House pays homage to its originator in its details. The home's signature element is a handcrafted walnut staircase wall with undulating forms that recall both Gehry's angular work and the creations of the home's artist owner. A box-like structure, also made of wood, serves as a bookend to the staircase, while the rest of the open first floor is gallery white, with concrete flooring and natural light provided by a rectangular skylight held over from the home's former life.

White Line House

Minimal in both its design and environmental impact, the White Line House is a striking addition to the town of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Set upon stilts, the home's frame is made from concrete, then coated in a flexible white lime plaster. The white motif continues inside, with white walls, white ceilings, hidden white lighting, and white marble floors. As a result, the majority of the home's color comes from the panoramic windows on both sides of the house that provide views to the outside from within, and reflections of the trees and clouds from the exterior.

Lightbox House

Located on the British Columbia side of the same peninsula that holds Point Roberts, the Lightbox House is a simple home and studio for a photographer and his family. Accessed via a boardwalk that bisects the home's pine tar-coated "dark" side, which holds the stairs, and the glass-covered "light" side, the house blends in well with the surrounding forest. By keeping the size manageable and using a system of exposed wood beams to support the prefab aluminum glazing system, the architects kept costs down while imbuing the home with a sense of simplicity appropriate for an owner who spends his time focused on fine details.

NASA Cap

The logos and symbols that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has used throughout their history are nearly as iconic as their achievements. This black trucker style mesh cap bears one of their well-known logos, designed in 1975 and nicknamed the "worm." The logo was retired in 1992 and adorns this hat with a gold text embroidered iron-on patch. The 5-panel, high profile snapback cap is lightweight and breathable and adds a nostalgic touch to your casual look.

Forester's House

Located on a plateau overlooking a small lake in Varberg, Sweden, the Forester's House blends in with its woodsy surroundings while also framing the views beyond. Built from cast-in-place concrete, it's comprised of two primary volumes joined by the entrance, with a tarred wood facade that folds underneath each form thanks to the open foundation. Inside, the fireplace and the exposed surfaces are made out of concrete, while the windows are trimmed in teak. Meant to age with grace, it should provide shelter for the forest's caretakers for generations.

11 Views House

Named for the many openings that frame the surrounding landscape, the 11 Views House makes the most of its waterside plot with a tall, wide, and shallow form. Each of the home's four floors has its purpose, with the basement acting as a boathouse and garage, the first housing the kitchen and living areas, the second containing the bedrooms, and the top floor serving as a study, playroom, and penthouse. The home's exterior is mostly unassuming, built using a prefab facade system, and is dominated by the home's many windows, which copy the proportions of famous Dutch landscape paintings from the 17th century as a nod to its country.

Topographical Rendering Map Prints

Based in Brooklyn, New York, graphic designer Scott Reinhard combines vintage maps with elevation data to create stunning pieces of art. Reinhard uses a chromogenic process to create each print, which takes traditional color photography development and integrates 3-dimensional data with paper maps for a result that is so visually appealing, you'll be tempted to reach out and feel what looks like 3D texture. The process brings the maps to life, creating a 2D print that is vibrant and detailed giving you a unique work of art that blends history and modern technology. In addition to the topographic maps, Reinhard creates compelling digitally rendered maps and has even adopted his technique to the surface of the moon.

Choose from map prints of Death Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park, Glacier National Park, Joshua Tree, Marfa, Texas, Hudson, New York, or a digital rendering of all the buildings in New York City.

Dream Dive Platform

Along the shores of Bob's Lake in Ontario sits the Dream Dive Platform. Conceived as a weekend project at a family cottage, this simple structure was designed to support two purposes: sleeping and swimming. It's built primarily from salvaged materials and is highly stripped down, with mesh providing protection from insects, a piece of waxed canvas that can be unrolled in wet weather, and a simple bed on the floor of the covered area.

Comano Villa

Set on a hill overlooking Lake Lugano in Switzerland, the Comano Villa uses a vast expanse of second-floor glass to maximize the views. The main building is composed almost entirely of black-stained concrete, which was cased in rough-grained wooden boards to provide added texture. Wooden floors add a touch of warmth, both downstairs — where you'll find several bedrooms, baths, and a sitting area — and up. The latter holds the dining area, kitchen, living room, and master bedroom, all connected by a lake-facing terrace that runs the length of the dwelling.
