Completed this year and fresh to the market is the C House by Andrew Liang and his firm LAB+Architects—a new and sophisticated architectural statement in a city that is full of them. Immaculately crafted and visually imposing above the street, it offers a fresh look at the concept of the Passive House—basically, where the structure does not rely on external energy sources for heating, cooling and electricity.

Rising up through the center of the structure is a shallow atrium that not only illuminates the interior, it provides a crucial vertical element that passively cools the house during warmer months. Mechanical heating and cooling is provided as needed by a pair of micro-zoned heat pumps set on the roof; there is also an array of solar panels to satisfy the dwelling’s power needs with unused electricity returned to the grid.

What We Love: The inescapable influence of Brutalism in the immaculate board-formed concrete throughout; the panels of metal cladding echoing the burnt cedar of Shou Sugi Ban.
