Private Residence – Los Angeles, California

This hillside residence is designed on a 20′ x 20′ grid of caissons with a 6′ 8″ X 6′ 8″ sub-grid/module. The stepped and overlapping plans articulate the vertical relationship between the residence, the connective vertical volumes, and the third-floor artist’s studio and rooftop terrace. The shaded edge of the floors simultaneously reinforces the plan edge while creating a three dimensional image.
