A central double-height space is created and placed in the middle of the house over the main living room. This middle area is the main place in which all the new areas gather and radiate at the same time. With the interior design, spaciousness and light feeling also can be created throughout the house.
The flexible open-planned living spaces, two bathrooms, and three bedrooms are the brief of the client. The architect response it with an understanding of the client’s need and how each space is used by them so each space can be customized to their needs. In summer, the hot can be flushed out of the house through the ventilation in the main living spaces and the double-height entry area.
The three levels are connected by the open stairs to a large roof deck that additional open space for the clients. It also can provide a thermal chimney effect to minimize the mechanical cooling need. With the materials, design, and all elements, a comfortable feeling can be created for the client while living in this house.
The materials for this house are chosen carefully to provide variety and texture, giving each room and element of the house its identity. These materials are used in particular with the selection of the joinery finishes, wall tiles, and flooring. The result comes in a beautiful, sleek, and elegant look for the entire house.
With the natural materials, a unique, sculptured space can be created so it doesn’t look like a conventional residential space. This space is also warm and textures, designed for painting and sculpture with idea indirect light.
The Getty Center can be framed through a strategically positioned aperture through the living room. The corner window can connect the office to the garden while the slot window provides awesome views from the master bedroom. The full-height window in the dining room allows this room to expand into the rear area of the landscape and numerous skylights track the sun’s path during the days.
This beautiful house is conceived as two concepts of dwelling that connect to each other. It consists of an opaque volume that can be screening the house from the intensity and noise of Laurel Canyon Boulevard. While the thin scrim of metal and glass can support the porous relationships between nature and interior spaces.
Tilt-Shift House has a rigorously stacked and shifted volume of three levels. It is a house situated upon a subterranean garage and inserted into the hillside area. The second floor of the house can expand the interior. This floor is designed with an open plan of living spaces that engage the street-facing decks and house entry.
This house is arranged into two interlocking volumes: a “bar” and a “cube”. These volumes can respond to the massing, scale, and setbacks of the house’s suburban context while maximizing the relationship between the distant vistas beyond and the landscape.
The spatial reverberation and dialogue between the home activities are encouraged by the apertures that strategically placed around the residence studio. The balconies, decks, terraces and the property landscapes are also encouraged by these apertures to provide more comfortable spaces for the householder.
The “stair room” is equipped with dimensions and scales of materials, display areas, and materials. These elements can enrich the experience and present the house stair. This stair acts as a sculptural element within the house center area. In conjunction with strategically located operable skylights and windows, the triple-height stair core acts to ventilate naturally and provide easy access to all floors.
