Corner Splay House, Los Angeles
An awkwardly shaped corner lot became a design opportunity for this large family home located at the intersection of a quiet community street and a busy through-street. Privacy and acoustical concerns were addressed by a large and natural landscaped street-side border and strategically placed windows & doors on the street sides. Contrary to the protective exterior design is the open and heavily fenestrated backyard-facing walls that let in beautiful northern light and temperate breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Wide open interior areas shaped by the splayed nature of the lot, tall ceilings, and organic interior design palette / materials blend with the lush landscape to provide an indoor / outdoor connection appropriate for Southern California Coastal living.
