M&M House / Stan Allen Architect

The M&M House is a weekend retreat constructed on a five acre wooded lot. The client is a well-known New York artist and her husband. The first phase, a modest, one story house, was constructed in 2000. Organized like an open loft space, all services are concentrated in a compact central block, allowing natural cross ventilation and optimal use of living space. Responding to the constraints of the sloping site, the house is orientated to capture light and views, while the painted wood siding echoes the rhythm of the trees on site.

The Sagaponac House is a prototype weekend house designed for a wooded lot in Eastern Long Island. One of a number of houses commissioned for a new residential development, our project is characterized by its compact footprint and open interior spaces. The active roofline and wood cladding recall vernacular traditions, while the open floor plan and interlocking of solid and void acknowledge contemporary, informal lifestyles. The tight lot meant that the house opens up vertically, becoming expansive through the triple height living scale at the center of the house. Filtered, ambient light that changes with the seasons and the time of day fills the house from the roof lights and window walls.

In 2009, our firm completed the master-planning for the Taichung Gateway, a 240-hectare mixed use quarter to be built on the site of the former Municipal Airport in Taichung, Taiwan.In order to raise awareness of the project, and to bring the public onto this spectacular site, we proposed the immediate construction of a temporary exhibition pavilion to display the site and the project. The pavilion has been built inside a large hangar with a clear view of the vast site for the proposed park. Drawings, models and computer animations are displayed within, while an elevated overlook terrace gives the public a view of the progress of construction.

The Chosen Children Village Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a home environment for physically and mentally challenged children. The Foundation approached us to design a chapel for their community that would be buildable within a tight budget, responsive to the extreme climatic conditions of the island, and integrated with the surrounding tropical landscape.
