Eagle Village in Brigham City (Utah) is an affordable housing development incorporating the adaptive re-use of barracks orig- inally built during WWII as a military hospital and subse- quently converted into a residen- tial school for Native Americans. The façades of the barracks have been painted to correspond with their new internal organization and to present a new image to a blighted zone with a problematic history.

The Hopper residence in Venice, California, by Brian A. Murphy, which conspicuously lacks fen- estration on its main façade, contains a nota - ble contemporary art collection. At the time of its construction in 1986, Venice was considered an unsafe, gritty Los Angeles neighborhood.
