A Long View: Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Houses 2016-2026
Our first collection of houses since 2015, A Long View is an in-depth exploration of fifteen residences from across the United States and Canada. The title is inspired by our belief in a timeless and enduring architecture that is crafted with sensitivity and intention, as well as the continued evolution of our practice.
The homes presented in A Long View exist in diverse settings: from a rustic retreat in the wilderness of Ontario to the transformation of an existing Pittsburgh home into a container for light; a home embedded in a sagebrush-covered butte in Wyoming to a delicate wood framed guest cabin on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Each resonates within its unique circumstances of client, place, and material. Immersive photography and engaging drawings, diagrams, sketches, and essays provide a new layer of detail into our process.

Listening: Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Houses 2009–2015
ORO Editions
We all harbor particular memories of houses we’ve encountered, moments and experiences that stay with us well past departure. Finding these nuances demands active listening—not just to the owner or client of the building, but to the site, the culture, the materials, and the house itself. This is exemplified in Listening, a profile of 12 houses designed by renowned architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.

This is a moment at a clearing in the woods where stone meets log, idea meets reality, invention meets craft, function meets beauty, and the past meets the present," writes architect William Bruder in the introductory essay to Ledge House.
