AR Design Studio

Based in Winchester, AR Design Studio produces detached single-family residences characterized by cantilevered upper volumes, monolithic cladding that wraps seamlessly across roofs and soffits, and frameless corner openings. The portfolio provides a precise reference when detailing mullion-free structural glazing, engineering clean volumetric cantilevers, or articulating staggered massing around interior circulation lightwells.

Modern brick and timber residence exterior with expansive glass walls and a timber deck by AR Design Studio.

A contemporary residential facade precedent combining warm timber slats, textured brick, and wide glazed expanses that connect internal rooms to an elevated outdoor deck.

What we like about this project
The upper wooden volume cantilevers cleanly over the ground floor terrace without visible vertical supports.

Geometry
Asymmetrical two-story composition combining a solid brick tower volume with a cantilevered timber-clad upper box and expansive full-height glazing.
Facade system
Combination of vertical timber rainscreen cladding, load-bearing or veneer brickwork, and large aluminum-framed sliding glass panels.
Structural guess
Steel frame or concrete slab construction supporting cantilevered upper timber volume.
Spatial scale
Two-story residential scale featuring wide terraces and generous ceiling heights.
Lighting
Bright midday sun casting crisp shadows across the timber deck and projecting balcony overhangs.
Atmosphere
Bright, open, and serene, characterized by the interplay of natural timber tones, glass reflections, and green landscape.
Environmental context
Open suburban or rural landscape setting with lush surrounding trees and a manicured lawn.
Spatial experience
The deep timber terrace and large glass sliders extend interior living spaces seamlessly outward toward the surrounding landscape.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal timber boards and floor lines contrast against the vertical mass of the brick tower.
