Located in the Bird Streets of the Hollywood Hills, the residence is a custom home designed for a couple and their teenage son. The site sits at the end of a cul-de-sac with canyon views to the West and views of the City and the Pacific Ocean to the South.
The house is organized by a series of offset volumes, whose placement and relationship to one another define a negative space flowing seamlessly between them and out into the landscape. The solid volumes enclose the more private areas of the house while the main living area and circulation space is located in the open space between them. This space is defined by a grid of truncated skylights, filling the space with a soft diffuse light.
The site slopes from north to south with a 15-foot difference in elevation. The house is tucked into the hillside, taking advantage of the inherent thermal qualities of the earth. The smooth white plaster volumes appear as if they are emerging from the landscape on the north and float above board formed concrete walls that lead to a sunken garage to the south.
The main living area resides at the center of the house, defined by four solid volumes around it. The volumes become canvases for art washed by a soft diffuse light from the skylights above. The Living Room extends to an exterior terrace with a white plaster infinity pool, reflecting the canyon view beyond.
