Jackson Hole Airport, designed by CLB, is an approximately 110,000-square-foot two-phase expansion and renovation of the existing Airport in Grand Teton National Park. For the renovation component of the program, the old airport was transformed from a clustered building design into an open, well-lit, and highly functioning space that is efficient and sustainable. Still, it retains the motifs and regional character of Jackson Hole rather than taking on an urban airport’s more generically modern design traits.

Unikato, designed by KWK Promes, is a housing project that is a testimony to the era of impressive modernist buildings. The balcony becomes an extension of the apartment, at the same time providing privacy, which residents quickly appreciate using it for recreation or storage. The building maintains consistency thanks to the full balustrades, and the objects kept on the balconies do not disfigure the area. The balconies arranged in the same direction on all facades, along with position shifted in relation to the irregular outline of the building, creates a characteristic silhouette.

Keeping the clients’ sensitivities in mind, most other material used was locally sourced and had a low carbon footprint. The conversations and the house embodies the people that live in it.

East Fremantle House, designed by Nic Brunsdon, is a contextually responsive addition to a heritage cottage in suburban Perth. The most important part of this house is the space that is not built – specifically, a large northern void – a space for sun, light, sky, sound, and breeze to inhabit. The garden, this void of space, gives measurable and appreciable amenity to the project and shows that understanding and connection to our celestial sphere can shape the rhythms, patterns, and quality of daily family life.

LX Pavilion, designed by OLI Architecture PLLC, stands at the intersection of minimal and cerebral, material and space: dualities emanating from the Richard Serra sculpture within. The design team was tasked to create a permanent home for Serra’s sculpture composed of two fifteen-ton weathering-steel plates measuring 40’ long, 7’ tall, and 2-1/2” thick. The artist Richard Serra, who spent half a century experimenting with unconventional, industrial materials of rubber, neon, and lead before his large-scale installations in steel, considers space to be his “primary material.”

Outpost, designed by Skylab, is a phased, hybrid structure merging recreation, retail, and work environments to foster and reinforce a sense of community in a developing section of Hood River. Functioning as one large structure, each of the 15,000-square-foot, three-story buildings are aligned within the exterior envelope to form what appears to be a simple bar-shaped building. Outpost is the first step in reimagining Hood River’s reconnection to its waterfront. A venue featuring warm and sustainable spaces designed to engage people and elevate the process of making.

Devnanda, designed by Studio Infinity, breaks away from the typical framework of an urban apartment that will not give them a feeling of staying in a compact apartment. The room placements were governed by the services grid of the entire building. A light court was introduced to help us move away from tight space constraints. The patterned flooring and a traditional tulsi vrindavan was intended to make this space appear and function more like a courtyard. The drama played by shadows cast by the pergola keeps changing the space dynamics throughout the day.
