Rome Residence
705, Rome Drive, Northeast Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States
Sited on a gentle
swath of land, Rome deploys simple forms to create a dynamic of relationships
between interior and exterior spaces.
The L- shaped house, together with its carport and connecting retaining
walls, form an S around two informal courts. The sequence begins at the arrival court, ascends between a
pair of concrete walls, and skirts a private court to reach the main
level. At the lower level,
bedrooms focus onto a private court that is centered on a Brazilian pepper
tree. A studio steps down and opens to a front patio veiled by a California
pepper. The upper level living
space stretches from a cantilevered deck with city views to a family/dining
area that extends out to a pine-shaded patio, future pool and gentle hill. An
open kitchen and a core of cabinetry around the stair tower punctuate this
spatial continuum as it turns the turn to the master bedroom wing. Further up
the stair; a library over looks the family area and opens to a viewing deck of
its own.The three-story stair tower
serves as a ?thermal chimney? and impart natural light deep into the interior,
and along with clerestories at the mono-slope roofs, enables convective cooling
throughout the house.Rome?s relationship to
the land, thoughtful assignment and sequence of spaces proves that spaciousness
and livability is qualitatively conceived rather than quantitatively measured.
