Mount Olympus Residence
Los Angeles, CA
Completed December 2014

The project site presents a rare opportunity: an unbuilt hillside lot with expansive city and canyon views and a large, level building pad. Ground floor spaces gather around the backyard & pool. The bedrooms on the second floor are oriented to maximize the views of the Los Angeles Basin and Laurel Canyon. Large expanses of glass blur the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the Owners to take advantage of both the views and the Southern California climate. A roof deck will allow a small group to relax while enjoying the city lights and the mild Los Angeles nights.

A continuous white ribbon wraps the building, both framing views and organizing the facades. The ribbon floats over the living and dining room, drops to the ground to shelter the library rising again to reveal the family room. The ribbon is creased to contain smaller openings, punched to reveal second floor balconies and folded to cradle the master suite.
