Kwong Von Glinow Reimagines a Century-Old Manse North of Chicago to Create a Series of Lived-In Galleries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When readers peruse the annual Record Houses issue, they expect to see projects that push boundaries or exhibit exemplary workmanship. Most often, these residences are new builds, but the thoughtful adaptation of historic estates for contemporary living can merit recognition too. In Highland Park, a leafy suburb north of Chicago full of fine architectural specimens, Kwong Von Glinow has refashioned one such century-old manse, originally designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw, into a series of lived-i
Chybik+Kristof’s Scarlet-and-Silver Horácká Arena Rises in the Czech City of Jihlava (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sports buffs will tell you that a stadium’s location can make or break a team. A bad combination of insufficient public transit access, endlessly expansive parking lots, and remoteness can spell disaster for projects that often promise to spur local economies and turn out fans. When it came time for Jihlava, a city near Prague in the Czech Republic, to replace the outdated hockey rink in its historic core, a debate involving such factors emerged.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Honors a Conservationist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America's vast landscapes captivated Theodore Roosevelt long before he became president, but none more so than the towering buttes, scoria hills, and prairies of the Dakota Territory.

Read excerpt
In 1937, Franklin Delano Roosevelt sketched a modest fieldstone library, rendered in his favored Dutch Colonial style, and passed it along to architect Henry Toombs. Two years later, as this building rose from the ground, FDR deeded it and his records to the federal government, beginning a tradition—later enshrined in U.S. law—that each of his successors continued. Was it an idle monument to a living president, or a mechanism to ensure public access to historical documents? Perhaps a bit of both
In Chile, Alejandro Beals and Loreto Lyon Revive a 1960s House Designed by a Le Corbusier Disciple (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For several years, husband-and-wife architects Alejandro Beals and Loreto Lyon walked with gimlet eyes by a modest and unkempt house in their neighborhood of Santiago, Chile. Little of the ivy-cloaked structure could be seen from the street, feeding their curiosity. “We arranged a visit the same day it went on sale,” says Beals, who saw the potential as soon as he stepped inside. “Only then did we learn that the house had been designed by Emilio Duhart.” The couple made an offer on the spot.
