Modern Residential Design by Rockefeller Partners Architects
This custom residential design is inspired as much by its unique setting as the client’s lifestyle. Due to the irregular shape of the site, which includes a small grove of eucalyptus and pine trees, only one of the 3.5 acres is buildable land. To maximize the views, the house was split into two wings – north and south – which turn away from the motor court to face an expansive lawn and the surrounding canyon views.
Breaking the structure into smaller parts also reduces massing and establishes a physical connection with the outdoors; access is available from almost any room. At the heart of the home is a great fireplace that begins in the living room then penetrates the exterior wall to become a wedge-shaped landscape feature, and finally the pool wall.
About the residential design., the property holders had lived in eight houses in ten years, moving where it was advantageous for work, yet never discovering the ideal area to make a genuine home.
They now have two little kids and required a property where they could work, play and develop as a gang. At the point when the property holders discovered a 3.14-section of land parcel in Mandeville Canyon with more than 200 adult trees and far-reaching perspectives of the city and sea past, they knew they had discovered the perfect environment.
Upon this clear slate, they needed to manufacture a home that would offer their kids a spot where they could be allowed to meander, play, and be interested without the imperatives or dangers that regularly accompany living in an urban region like Los Angeles.
Inside Design by Alana Homesley and photography by Eric Staudenmaier. From their involvement in the numerous homes they had claimed and leased, the proprietors pined for a home that consummated the harmony in the middle of structure and capacity, extent and common light.
They needed no unnecessary space, but instead, a well thoroughly considered home where each room had a reason and was satisfying and agreeable.
