Very cool modern town-house.  Public rooms are raised up where they get more light and views. And the large “bay windows” actually look out over Casco Bay.

Excellent collage of rough and refined materials.

Another great industrial-inspired building in Portland, ME. Rich color is used on inexpensive corrugated siding… laser-cut stainless steel sign, wrapped around an industrial light fixture… excellent composition and use of accent material around key door and window locations. 

Doing so much, with so little.  

This is a “random” industrial building in Portland, Maine. Don’t be deceived by the industrial materials– beneath lies a very thoughtful detailing strategy. 
Notice the corrugated corners– these had to be field cut-and welded to maintain that look (these were only used on the “showiest” corners). 
Also the insulated translucent panel is covered with a “green-screen” that will provide summer shade.
So simple. But so refined. 

These unique, recognizable towers in Chicago are actually called “Marina City”- while they are a very cool structural and architectural design, they also represent one of the first mixed-use buildings in Chicago. The “ground” floor is a real marina, with retail above, then parking and finally residential
