Description

Mark English Architects believes every home is a prototype, developed in collaboration with the client, landscape, topography, climate, and cultural considerations. in Situ: Unique Homes Crafted for California Living invites readers into seven of the firms residences to learn more about the studios approach to architecture and design.

Landscape and climate play a vital role in every Mark English project, with buildings and spaces designed to celebrate their California location, whether its the city, coast, or mountains. Each residential design is a sensitive and creative response to the site and environment and reflects the firms inherent understanding of the Golden States relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The practice draws on the California vernacular of open-plan living, light-filled spaces, and natural materials to blur the boundaries of inside and outside, and embeds every design with a layer of artistry to create meaningful homes for their residents.
