And just as no two families are alike, no two multi-gen models adhere to the same principles. In B.C.’s capital, for instance, D’Arcy Jones Architects takes shared living in a distinctly modern direction by shrouding two separate yet connected volumes with sheets of sculptural galvanized aluminum, while the Czech practice DDAANN links a series of traditional gable-roofed cottages outside of Prague with a central indoor-outdoor living space to create a summer home for three generations of a single family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eMeanwhile, a Jenga-like single-family house by REM’A Arquitectos nestles seamlessly into a hillside in Portugal, its staggered volumes arranged to be simultaneously private and exposed. And in the realm of multi-unit residences, Waechter Architecture is redefining the norm with the Origami complex in Portland, Oregon: The low-slung row of townhouses features sharply angled roofs and uniquely pleated surfaces that give each unit its own personality while still aligning with the neighbourhood’s existing architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAlso, jet-setting Chile-based architects Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen shed light on the deep philosophy that drives their unorthodox work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eSpotlight on Bathrooms \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSleek systems, (very) smart toilets and more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eLandscape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eMontreal’s long-neglected Expo 67 site gets a major facelift courtesy of Lemay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eGood Acoustics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eCutting-edge solutions for better sound control\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AZURE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31095164764278,"sku":"","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1627\/1565\/products\/Screen_Shot_2019-12-12_at_10.10.31_AM.png?v=1576163470","url":"https:\/\/azure-magazine.myshopify.com\/en-us\/products\/the-houses-issue-jan-feb-2020","provider":"AZURE | Designlines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
