By day, it's an industrial-modern residential space; at night, Linden's home is frequently used for performance art installations.
Khoi describes the split bathroom as the ideal example of the home’s “public/private dichotomy.” A door turns it from a full bath into a powder room.
The bathroom cleverly functions as both a private and public space, thanks to a sliding wall that closes off the bathtub and Linden's vanity.
The bathroom is clad in blue penny tile, and natural light pours in to illuminate it all. “It’s almost a spa-like experience,” says Khoi. The tiles are from Bedrosians.
Giant folding doors conceal the bedroom.
Plaster and wood give the loft texture at every turn.
Linden found the 4x4’ Italian-designed dining table on First Dibs. “It’s slightly too small to be a proper family dining table, it’s too big for a desk, but it works perfectly here… it’s the right ambiguity for an ambiguous space,” says Galán.
The sofa isn’t always a big boomerang shape; the two halves of the design can be reconfigured as needed.
A butcher-block island can be moved around to accommodate the needs of the space on any given day.
Red-stained plywood is a twist on the familiar green construction plywood so often found lining New York City construction sites; the rough plaster finish on the bathroom walls is an allusion to the texture of city sidewalks. “It’s really a streetscape,” explains Khoi.
The kitchen cabinets are made from a pressed wood-fiber product. The countertop and backsplash are Caesarstone.
The home's two-car garage can easily be used as an office/studio space.
Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the central atrium, inviting ample natural light into the main living areas. The crisp white kitchen overlooks a large space fit for a garden.
A bright yellow entrance extends a warm welcome, while a wooden fence bordering the property enhances the home's overall sense of privacy.
Steps lead to the two-bedroom guesthouse, which can easily double as a rental property.
Extensive glazing draws in ample natural light, while also framing spellbinding desert views.
