Every Monday on our Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter pages, we share a House of the Day. Each House of the Day is a house designed by architects whose work we admire and doubles as a great way to celebrate residential architecture. We are not the only firm that does this- if you look up #HouseoftheDay you’ll be able to see so many inspiring home designs shared by architecture lovers!
In this post, we’ll be sharing a few houses we’ve posted as our #HouseoftheDay in case you missed them!
Dhsac Residence by Bitte Design Studio

Dhsac Residence has a dynamic range of materials playing with texture and light. Something we also design for are built-ins and double-height spaces. In Dhsac Residence, the double-height space over the living area elongates the space- drawing attention upwards. Working in conversation with the built-in millwork framing the space, the square shapes extend to the next floor.
Five Peaks Lookout by Edwards Architecture

Five Peaks Lookout has a liner bar program with a portion of the home that floats above the landscape. We love other architects that work with the site to create a unique design. Similar to Five Peaks Lookout’s floating section, we’ve designed a floating studio for Cat Hill.
House Steffens by Jaco Wasserfall Architects

House Steffens has an eye catching blackened steel volume with a floating volume perpendicular above. The floating volume doubles as a roof for the patio next to the pool. This dynamic design floats all of the home to overlook the surrounding nature.
Vertes Retreat by W O V E N Architect and Design

You may remember Vertes Retreat from our design inspiration post for outdoor kitchens. We always design for our homes to have curated views and other ways to have a strong indoor outdoor relationship. In Vertes Retreat, W O V E N Architect and Design did an awesome job highlighting the site through window views and their overhang roof that covers an outdoor seating area.
We learn so much from looking at other peoples’ work. We can be inspired by details like how a home’s materials meet or their overall material palette. For our process with our clients, it’s always helpful to use images to explain what we are envisioning for their home’s design. By constantly looking at other architects’ work, we are able to discover new ways of creating space and designing details.
