The project is a 1700-sf studio and home for an architectural photographer in which the client’s desire to evaluate patterns, priorities, and rituals governs the plan’s organization of this utilitarian space.

Dezeen is a London-based online magazine and has been included in Time Magazine’s Design 100 list of the most influential forces in global design and Design Week Magazine’s Hot 50 List of key figures in Design. The website receives over one million visitors per month.

Check it out!

Also, The Goodlife Team will include the Atelier Wong in their annual Modern Homes Tour, which will be on Jan 30 this year. The tour will include 10 modern homes for sale and 5 homes by featured contemporary architects. A panel discussion with architects Thomas Bercy, Travis Young and Jay Hargrave will conclude the event. Details to come in the near future.

Cottam Hargrave designed and constructed a birdhive for purple martins with maximum adaptability.  Six stacked units are secured by two custom four-foot bolts that connect the top unit to the bottom unit.  After unfastening the bolts, the modular units can be re-arranged so that the openings face different orientations allowing for service accessibility.  The birdhive is composed of reclaimed long leaf pine and scrap mild steel.  We can build a pivoting mast to meet the specific requirements of the owner.

Beth Engelland, partner in architecture + construction + fabrication firm Cottam Hargrave, discusses the concept of the design of one of their recent projects, the Westlake Residence. Beth explains the steel erection. A crane lifts steel decking for the elevated pool into place while Jay Hargrave, Craig Kerins and Hazey Fairless direct the pieces into place and fasten them with powder-actuated nails.
