Homes

The rice cooker garage.

Custom white oak cabinets provide plenty of storage space. The cabinets utilize push latches, as Amornpan didn't want any knobs or drawer pulls. Next to the ovens is a mini bar.

Long, linear Isokern fireplaces built from custom masonry are a prominent design feature in the great room and the exterior patio.

Built in 2022, the home features a Cypress and Cedar exterior and flat-lined roof, inspired by modern Balinese architecture.

As perhaps expected, the 2.5-acre, off-grid island can only be accessed by boat, presenting a unique opportunity to reconnect with the surrounding nature.

Building with Cor-Ten steel—weathering steel's nom de plume—is a bit like watching a painting slowly come to life over time. Exposure to the elements adds textured hues of red and orange to the material until it steps into a character completely its own. From the Dwell archive, we bring you nine Cor-Ten steel homes with facades that will continue to shift through shades of ochre, amber, rust, and sienna.

The height of oversized doors can be offset or accentuated with long hardware.

The open-plan kitchen-and-dining space features a Douglas fir ceiling and ceiling beams and polished concrete floors.

The light-filled kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, as well as extensive worktops, capped with marble. A tall, black-framed glass door provides direct outdoor access.

The 1980s home, which appears to be only one level from street view, was fully renovated and now sports a sleek white-and-black facade. Its bluff location offers ample privacy.

An aerial view show’s the home’s open-air, three-story layout. Miles of shoreline can be easily accessed via the home's private staircase leading to the beach.

Inside, sliding glass doors and clerestory windows wrap around the main living areas, allowing the open floor-plan to be bathed in natural light. Cork flooring further unites the various spaces.

Tucked away from street view, the OCM House runs east to west to optimize north-facing views of the lawn and garden. The home is designed to embrace the outdoors and is within walking distance of rivers and beautiful beaches.

The living room has a long, built-in couch with a custom midcentury-inspired fireplace. Polished concrete floors in the interior contrast with the outdoor timber decking.

Angled, sloping pickets function like Venetian blinds between the board-formed concrete volumes and tall vertical grasses provide another layer of screening. An ipe deck with a waterfall design runs parallel to the pool.
