Project Featured on Feb 05, 2014
This project mediates the poetics of light and architectural form against technological and ecological demands of contemporary building practices in Los Angeles.
By integrating traditional design methodologies with CNC fabrication, the distance between architect and builder is collapsed to allow for maximum control in articulating the porosity of the building’s cor-ten skin as it negotiates between public and private space. Folded, laser-cut panels obfuscate views from the exterior while curating light into the interior space necessitated by programmatic needs.
To minimize the building’s impact, efficient design practices and sustainable systems are used throughout. The home is carefully sited to preserve an old-growth pine in the rear yard, which provides generous shade to the main living space and serves as an organizational hub for the exterior program. A glass wall opens to the backyard creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living space. Large skylights illuminate the interior drastically reducing the electrical lighting needs throughout the day.
