“Don’t Hurt the Boulders” | Creek House

ByMyProperty Life

Creek House is a family retreat carefully integrated into a volcanic boulder field within a pine and fir forest in California. Designed to respect the natural surroundings, the house was built around the large rocks on the site, with volumes that harmoniously blend with the rugged landscape. Clad in concrete, wood, and dark panels, the residence has a discreet aesthetic that merges with the setting. Its spacious, well-lit interiors connect to outdoor gardens, offering privacy, serenity, and stunning views of the ravine and surrounding nature.

  • W Residence

    This is a 150㎡apartment in Taiwan with a strip of horizontal window looking out to the city. The new owner is a three-generation family. The elder favors grandeur, lush marble and rich wood grain; the young couple prefers bright space, light color and relaxing atmosphere. The only common they have is that they need storage and wish to have as much space as possible for children to move freely. We create a neutral background with white ceiling and light wooden floor in which stone and wood-veneer blocks are placed. These blocks are positioned to define space without separate it and serve as storage unit. Sliding-doors and movable-walls convert the space, and hide away secret balcony or chamber in each room. Light flows through the space in between these blocks, and so do the owner’s children. One sees not only the texture of the natural materials, but the spread of light and the panoramic view of the city beyond.
