The design of this single-family residence in Santa Monica Canyon seeks to dissolve the boundaries between spaces, both interior and exterior. Inside, standard residential elements shift or disappear, creating a dynamic, varied experience within the plan.
Conceptually, the house is split into two distinct volumes with a landscaped strip bisecting the space. The floating ‘box’ second floor hovers in place above the poured concrete footing and ground-level living quarters. The three-story courtyard/ atrium feeds light through each of the floors, including the basement.
