Different Is Good

letters • The San Francisco house in the last issue was pretty cool before seeing the exterior … then it became AWESOME. I love a surprising mix of design styles and eras. Thanks for sharing!

Introducing Dwell Made • Don’t miss our new DIY-furniture video series featuring simple instructions for building modern pieces for your home and garden. No frills, no fuss, no jargon—just our expert hosts demonstrating their process, step by step.

Is It Time to Ban New Construction in High-Risk Flood Zones? • Like the Fire Island house featured in this issue (p. 110), millions of existing dwellings in low-lying coastal areas are vulnerable to worsening storms, as the costliest hurricane season in U.S. history just made clear. The question is: Should new construction be allowed in these places?

Drop the Top • A concave ceiling is craned onto a rear extension in Belgium.

Modern Office • No item is too small to be stylized, not even the lowly paper clip. A new book, Clip Art (April 2018, Princeton Architectural Press), highlights 10 designs pulled from historical patent records and comes with actual samples of each.

Downsizing in Antarctica • The largest community on the planet’s coldest continent needs a smaller, smarter facility to continue its crucial work.

Bolt Out of the Blue • Following a stroke of inspiration, Rebecca Atwood translated an offhand painting exercise into a new line of fabrics.

Todd Oldham • The tireless multihyphenate talks about his heroes, theories on color, and why every designer should own a makeup kit.

Better Half • A modest expansion is a major improvement for a Victorian “half-house” in London.

Here and There • An architect designing hospitals in Rwanda first brought sustainability to a lakeside dwelling in Ontario.

Loft in Transition • A fashion label founder refuses to hide the rough side of her Brooklyn apartment, exposing pipes, columns, vents, and more.

Coffee Fable • A budget-savvy, well-caffeinated couple get their hands dirty building a house, art gallery, and coffee kiosk on New Zealand’s North Island.

Looking for Your Next Great Escape?

Make It Yours • The Jacks call attention to some of their more ingenious weekend projects.

Out on a Limb • After an architectural epiphany, a family of traditionalists builds a monument to organic modernism in Austin.

Self-Restraining Order • A designer couple force themselves to think small in creating a jewel-like retreat on an expansive Catskills site.

PALM SPRINGS AND BEYOND • Revisiting the landmarks and legends of the desert modern oasis (and its neighbors) with a new eye.

Where Design Hunters Load Up • Every February, during Modernism Week, midcentury fanatics descend on Palm Springs to peek inside rarely opened houses, catch panels, and, of course, comb the city’s furnishings boutiques. The event’s top organizer, Chris Mobley, shares where he shops the other 51 weeks of the year.

EXCURSIONS • Architecture that’s worth a trip outside Palm Springs.

TOUR GUIDE PICKS • Four home-tour guides tell us their favorite stop in the city.

Q&A: Hugh Kaptur • Looking back on Palm Springs’ Golden Age with one of the last living architects who shaped it.

A Resort Town’s Last Resort • Palm Springs thrives as a getaway, but lately an influx of people visiting through home-sharing services has some people concerned. One idea, which will be put to a vote via ballot measure on June 5: Prohibit rentals of fewer than 28 days in certain residential areas. With...
