The House of Continuum reimagines the spatial syntax of co-living with nature, transcending the traditional paradigm of a residential retreat. Grounded in the principles of critical regionalism and biophilic design, the architecture refuses to impose itself upon the landscape. Instead, it operates as a permeable pavilion, seamlessly assimilating into the genius loci (spirit of the […]
Editor’s Note: Some homes find their identity in the meeting of different traditions, allowing each to bring its own warmth and character.

It takes mid-century design’s clean […]
Most travelers plan a Mediterranean trip around beaches, food and famous views. Architects tend to plan it differently. For a designer, the port cities of the Mediterranean are a long, open-air reference library. Fortified walls, Roman palaces turned into neighborhoods, grid plans, salt works and cliff-top towns all sit within a few days’ sailing of […]
Choosing a material for an industrial component is rarely about maximizing one property. A material may be exceptionally strong but too heavy, lightweight but vulnerable to heat, or affordable initially but expensive over its service life. Thermoplastics have become increasingly useful because they allow engineers to balance several of these requirements within a single material […]
Introduction A crawl space matters a great deal to a building, even though most people hardly ever see it. Tucked between the ground and the lowest floor, this cramped, dark area can hold plumbing lines, electrical wiring, insulation and key structural parts of the house.
