A natural backdrop provides a focal point for this newly built residence in Fargo, North Dakota. Designed by Peterssen/Keller Architecture, with interior work by Martha Dayton Design, the multi-gabled structure features a facade of white stucco and stone, along with contrasting dark stained tongue-and groove cedar cladding and standing-seam metal roofs.

The three attached structures house an office, guest suite, and game room, used by the family to watch football games.

Another view of the glazed rear facade shows the wall of steel windows and doors that enclose the living area and kitchen.

The house is set on a forested hill, which means the backyard—though scenic—is too steep to enjoy. It’s also perpetually shady. Schicketanz wanted somewhere she could soak in the sun, so she added a roof deck. “It’s really the only usable, large outdoor space I have,” she says.

Located on the western Danish coast within walking distance of the North Sea, this home was designed by Soren Sarup to integrate elements of the surrounding landscape and to highlight natural, contemporary beauty. The interior fuses clean-lined simplicity, an abundance of wood surfaces, and a restrained mix of Danish-modern and vintage furniture to create a visually stimulating yet relaxing environment that extends between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The original facade was transformed into a contemporary profile that pays homage to the home's humble roots.

The Z House's structure consists entirely of concrete. Wood screens wrap around the sides, and Prefa materials top the roof.
