As Californian culture of mobility accepts houseflipping for a instant profit-making a norm, designing a house to hand down to many generations was our blissful obligation. Intrigued by the young couple’s refreshing view on “family”, our intent was to design the house with a domestic simplicity prioritizing comfort and low-maintenance while capitalizing on
multiple benefits of living in Southern California, including its climatic
advantage and abundant renewable energy source: solar. The site is
a corner lot, located in a typical Los Angeles residential neighborhood.
When a dilapidated house was torn down, the site was naked to traffic bustle and public view, seeking a cohesive mitigation.
Linear 2-story L-volume is employed to define the edge boundaries, embracing the exposed site to create a sheltered living. An Engawa deck is designated as the transition of inside and outside, functioning as a sitting and lounging area thus offers an outdoor living at best. The
wood façade facing to streets provide protection from those looking inward and transparency for those looking out. White stucco to south and west reflects back the harsh Southern California sun.
The emphasis on simplicity continues inside, employs abundant natural
light that illuminates the interior spaces in its elemental, unfettered character. Conservative measures: solar panels, tank-less water heater, re-circulating pump, minimal landscape elevates the house with holistic and longevity that the family would cherish.
