Each of these houses tells a different story, how people want to live, how to address the Program - functional requirements / personal wishes, preferences, how to best realize the attributes of that site. These Nantucket houses comply with the island’s H.D.C. [Historic District Commission] design guidelines which narrow the design parameters and make for interesting design challenges. 

PAMA, residential projects also include other modes of construction [other than these ‘shingled/ wood frame’ examples], such as several projects for a residential subdivision facing Guiones Beach in Nosara, Costa Rica. Here, given the local traditions and the vacation mindset, inspired curvilinear forms and materials, is approached as “barefoot architecture”.  

The design for a house (project) in the Marin headland, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge towers in SF, has a curved form that navigates the site’s steep gully. 

Entirely different are several Manhattan apartments, the most recent is a penthouse apartment for entertaining on top of Affirmation Arts in Hudson Yards District, whose urban, Modern architectural language collages together zinc-clad and glazed volumes, offset by a light filigree of steel and gabled trelliswork for creeping natural vines.

PAMA has some experience with these related areas of practice: Mixed-use, zoning which combines residential units with commercial uses. Production, prefab housing, and modular construction. Subdivision planning, and real estate branding concepts.
