Roslyn Road Residence
Street facade, presenting a relatively closed face, with higher transoms windows to still afford a sense of air and sky from the inside while blocking unwanted, penetrating views from the street.
Entry door, with visual cues of a stair and platform to welcome visitors and elevate them to the living level upon entry.
Taking a break in the pool, and for the Summer at least, not missing Santa Monica!
Rear facade at dusk. Given the amazingly private rear yard, the house opens to the yard and welcomes reciprocal views. The warmth of the glow of interior lights spills out to the yard and patios. The client, being a mixed media artist, worked with artists to introduce a mural that held special personal meaning and importance.
Entry foyer, suggesting a visual cue to turn the corner, but allowing for privacy upon entry.
Stairway with custom slat wall to give a hint of the stair beyond, while eliminating the need for extravagant, unwanted visual clutter of a railing.
Kitchen and dining area, visually integrated, through the continuity of ground and ceiling plane and material, while still maintaining a distinct sense of individual place.
Dining area overlooking rear yard
Living room, and retro fireplace with its' curvilinear form, anchors the space, while breaking the rectilinear lines of the limited, strong furniture pieces .
