This residence is derived from a clear and simple concept that draws
its inspiration from the unique site, consisting of dense canopy and
unencumbered views of the surrounding canyons. Like the site, the house
is composed of two distinct and equally appealing parts – private and
public - that are defined by a thick interior wall running physically
and figuratively through the length of the house and beyond.
The landscape is also defined by the wall: wild and natural,
reflecting the surrounding chaparral hillsides and canyons, and
manicured lawn - a nod to the client's east coast nostalgia.
