the ideal.

Brilliant so far- love the wolzak one- thanks. at the moment i am especially looking for a pitched roof that has been cut down the centre- lengthways- and then grafted onto a more boxy building at the back- but with a really srong end elevation. thanks

1 more example- not too modern, but with a mix of vernacular.

PV like whoa.

also, check out Brian McKay Lyons for somethin' different...

brian and I were in the same class together in Nova Scotia in the 70's.
we have gone on in vastly different directions but I have to respect him for his effort, dedication and success.

Barbara Bestor

old issues of Record Houses will sometimes contain details illustrating how he achieved the clean, crisp look for which he became famous.

ew.... that damn venturi house...

by pitched, mean gabled? because thats what all the responses seem to be.
if not, check out the Barnes House by Patkau -- faceted pitch internally, hidden by parapet externally...

Forsythe + Macallen - colorado house

so how do they deal with no gutters and no overhangs? Especially Hugh Jacobsen- all those white plaster buildings. Why aren;t they all streaked from rainfall of of the roof?

IS CRISPY OK?

archie ... Jacobsen developed a recessed gutter system that does not disturb the line of the roof ... i understand that it works fine ... you can find details of this in old issues of Record

murcutt

dwell house

yes, the dwell house, nice.
Resolution 4 Architecture, the firm that did that house, uses "modules of use." In the spirit of mass-production...it seems they have rooms that they repeat and reconfigure, depending on a clients' patterns of use. Either way, i like the house.

also, in the most recent issue, the first feature house, the one in Tijuana, is really freakin' sweet.

archie:

i'm pretty sure the gutter detail you asked about in your question above can be found here:
