Openness was the foundational design theme for this luxurious two-story single-family home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, featuring a modern, cubic façade and multiple rooftop patios. IR Architects strategically angled the structure on the lot to maximize buildable space and for panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline, Santa Monica Bay, and the Getty Center (Meier Partners, 1997). Unfinished travertine accents visually connect the home to the Getty’s predominant material. Copious use of glazing, highlighted by a 65-foot-wide glass wall that opens to the pool deck, blurs the sightline barrier between inside and out. Natural transitions that further help bring the outdoors in include a living wall and water feature in the entry courtyard and an olive tree planted in the home’s entry way. The design team conducted extensive computer modeling to ascertain the best blend of scenic sightlines and privacy, as the client desired an open as well as secure feeling. The goal was to create an understated home from the street, one that opulently opens up to its environment once inside, responsive to sunlight and ocean breezes throughout the day.
