The project sits on a focal point on a Bel-Air hilltop. Raising the design plateau one story afforded the owner views of the Pacific Ocean, therefore a split-level design was introduced to allow gradual ascent to the top of the roof with little effort. A central \u201cvoid\u201d is created with bridging stairs to allow sunlight and visual connection to the lowest levels of the building. The basement is buried, with a daylight condition to allow a courtyard for the lower bedrooms. Split level design to conform to the topography encased in an automotive inspired monocoque shell. Breaking the mass to conform to the topography with a split-level design and concealing the basement level as a vegetated plinth, reduced the visual impact of a three-story building. The landscape design emboldened the tree canopy coverage as well as providing visual privacy for the neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project gently lands a dynamic building on top of a buried podium that replicates the natural topography that existed prior to the area being subdivided for development. This hollow post-war neighborhood has been transforming gradually, overtaken by recent developments that rely on size, rather than spatial quality. The concept set out to reduce the massing of a rather large project in order for it to lodge within the neighborhood proportionally. It proposes an alternative model within the confines of stringent regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project engages an exercise in spatial relationships to accelerate the programs of the house. It utilizes the split-level design to follow the topography of the hill, and to connect the floor half-story plates. The plates form adjacencies, both visual and functional, thus allowing twice the utility of an otherwise compartmentalized organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s aesthetic was directed by streamline automotive design which, among others, proposed concealed performance for every technology in the house. The interior palette was based on a utilitarian approach to materials, in contrast to the overall ambient approach of the design where space overcame necessity. This balance of power proceeded in the backdrop of environmental sensitivity and clinical dearth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A courtyard, created by daylighting the lower bedrooms from the buried podium, also acts as the rainwater runoff filtration system for the entire site. The project meets or exceeds stringent California green building and energy conservation standards such as low-flow plumbing systems, drought tolerant planting, rainwater filtration, photovoltaic integration, high efficiency building envelope and glazing, HERS rating of the mechanical system, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoor materials specified were sourced naturally and are compliant with Low VOC standards. The design palette was kept minimal to an all natural selection including mica plaster, hardwood flooring, and natural stone. The project sought out minimal, low-impact, and proven materials, achieving a balance between durability, ease of maintenance, and responsible design.
Thus far, the project has won 18 international design awards including: A Design Award 2023, Architect of the Year Awards-2022, Global Future Design Awards-2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
