We wanted to create a dialog between architecture and nature in this space, so we left the cypress wood boards of the building’s rain-screen intentionally unfinished to allow for the natural aging of the material. The vertical scale and orientation of the boards evoke images of a forest within the city and provide a natural backdrop to the seasonal colors of the fruit-bearing trees.

The cypress rain-screen as a backdrop to the persimmon tree and this glorious wind chime made this already beautiful, peaceful space feel elevated to the next level.

We look forward to seeing the beautiful collection of chimes by Chris Kallmyer, displayed together here for a special sound installation event soon.

Sound has such a profound way of bringing back vivid memories and shifting a space’s mood and feeling. There is nothing quiet as powerful as a set of wind chimes and a collection of bells to set that mood.

We are thrilled to be working with Chris Kallmyer for an upcoming sound installation experience here at our West Adams project. We look forward to sharing more details about the event soon!

Our favorite corner in the house - where every vantage point is special. To be here, is to feel the warm southern light, the natural depth and glow from the hand troweled roman clay walls and the views out onto green living walls and large foliage.

For us, it’s all the little details that matter the most. We care about every vantage point, every moment where materials meet, where landscape joins architecture, and our every evolving experience in the space.

We love the warmth and feeling of this space. We took great care to design and build this home in the historic West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles. One of our favorite features in the home is the dining banquette and custom built table.

We love the play of light through the cypress rainscreen for the circulation spaces. The idea for the vertical wood rainscreen, as both a privacy screen as well as a light modulator, first started at one of our projects in West Adams over five years ago. By living with the idea for a number of years, we were inspired to evolve the exterior screen to both redirect the second story view toward the garden spaces while also providing sun protection and a playful dance of light through the main circulation space.

We love the amazing natural light in this space and the softness of the roman clay walls and ceiling finish that give the space a subtle luminance.

We can smell the pink jasmine throughout the second story decks! The vines add a lovely pop of color and softness to the open railings that overlook the pool deck below.

We love the sweet aroma of the pink jasmine vines that we’ve trained to cover and drape over the master balcony railings. It’s these little details that we love building into our design work.

At Caliper, we love designing and building the landscape as an integral and inseparable part of the architecture. For this project, we took great care on both the inside and outside to find the perfect plants and pots for each space.
