Henrikson/Grant Residence Marmol RadzinerThis serene, wood-clad home captures the beauty of clean, modernist design, and creates a warm and communal atmosphere with rooms that open onto each other and the garden, and materials and textures that bring nature indoors.

Shapiro Residence Ray Kappe, FAIA, Kappe Architects/PlannersRevered architect Ray Kappe always amazes with his elegant structural solutions to difficult canyon sites, and this house is no exception, with its massive exposed concrete walls stepping up the hill, contrasting with narrow slot windows, clerestories, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open the house to the views, the trees, and expansive outdoor living areas.
