Albion House


A Grade 2 listed building in Islington that was divided up into flats in the 1970′s has been restored and reinstated as a family home. The original house has been refurbished throughout with finishes that are light in both tone and texture and new units and insertions are respectful to the restored fabric and period details of the building. The newly reinstated staircase occupies the same shaft of space as the original at the rear of the house.

Zen Garden House


This house by David Jay Weiner, Architect in Creston, Colorado. In fact, you might become enlightened the moment you step through that front door. Surrounded itself with snow-capped mountains and lots of fresh air with a nice big pocket of space and views to cushion you from the harsh real world, there’s something sharp and angular about the dark exterior, but something soft and quiet about the interior.

granite formations and stones, the site serves as the catalyst of the design which seeks to 'domesticate 
the last stones of the hillside' to create a dwelling sitting on the boundary between the mountains and 
the village.
