Joseph Strick house, Santa Monica, California, United States,

The Strick House is Niemeyer’s only built work in North America besides the U.N.

Niemeyer had not been allowed in the U.S. since 1947 because of his political views and he was not able to visit the site.

The house came to be saved by the couple Michael and Gabrielle Boyd.

Upon viewing the BoydDesign restoration in 2007, Niemeyer said “It’s nice to finally meet this house,” and, “I love that it’s been restored to its sixties elegance.

Oscar Niemeyer, 1964,

Restauration by Michael and Gabrielle Boyd.

John Hejduk, "Wall House No. 2,"

Hoornse Meer, Groningen, Netherlands,

John Hejduk originally designed Wall House No. 2 in 1973 as a weekend retreat for landscape architect Arthur Edward Bye. The House was to be built in Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that the structure was built as part of the Blue Moon architecture festival in Groningen.

In this project, Hejduk uses the wall to reinterpret the traditional configuration of a house: instead of presenting the different spaces enclosed within the perimeter walls, in the Wall House 2 the rooms and the circulation systems are physically isolated from each other.

The kitchen, dining room, bedroom and living room are stacked curvilinear volumes, vertically linked by an independent circular staircase and connected to a study by a long corridor.

The wall, which Hejduk establishes between the rooms and the circulation systems so that one has to go through it to move from one room to another, becomes a passing line, a limit. A palette of yellow, green, black, brown and gray reinforces the division of the function of each volume.

Since 2004, Wall House has served cultural purposes under the Stichting Wall House Number 2 foundation, hosting artist residencies, public tours, events, and functioning as a knowledge center.

Built by Thomas Muller / van Raimann Architekten and Otonomo Architecten studios,
