Frame House in California

The Frame House by Mork-Ulnes Architects is a single-family home in California. After wildfires ravaged the client’s family home, this new house is armoured against future disasters. Focusing on fire safety criteria, they developed a three-dimensional concrete grid. Robust frames span the interior and exterior spaces to form the structural and design backbone of the two-storey structure. A video guides you through the building.

Mork-Ulnes Architects work in two different locations, San Francisco and Oslo, their approach influenced by both Scandinavian practicality and the innovative spirit of northern California. Their designs follow a clear concept characterized by playfulness on the one hand and restraint on the other. The architects have realized projects on three continents to date, working at scales ranging from the masterplan to mini house. Mork-Ulnes Architects have received numerous national and international awards for their work, and have twice been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award.
