Glass House/Laurel Canyon
Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Located along a congested area of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, the
“build-ability” of this parcel was heavily questioned due to the site’s
steep up-slope, an active creek and 20 feet of backfill. Through an
analysis of the litany of constraints upon the project, a suitable
location for the 3,600 sf house was identified and ultimately determined
the footprint of the structure.
In negotiating the imposed location for the house, an inverted
orientation emerged, turning away from the heavily trafficked street and
towards the lush hillside and creek found within the property. The
house was conceived as the interlocking of two concepts of dwelling,
consisting of an opaque volume, screening the residents from the noise
and intensity of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and a thin scrim of metal and
glass, supporting a porous relationship between the interior spaces and
the nature beyond. The house consists of a series of contiguous living
spaces that open to the terrace, expanding the interior deep into the
site and over the creek.
