CdM Residence
(# 360) |
|
|
|
| This project recycled an existing 1,800 square foot 1950’s tract home by maintaining the basic footprint, walls and roof structure. Goals included connecting visually and physically to outdoor gardens, maximizing daylight and natural ventilation, while achieving privacy from adjacent neighbors. The addition of clerestory operable windows, skylights and placement of glazing throughout allows passive heating and cooling of the house. The front yard features a series of broad, inviting terraces that anchor the house to its sloping site. The three zones of the residence are distinctly identified by the change of exterior materials: smooth plaster (LIVE), cement board panels (WORK) and ipe wood slats (REST). Spatial organization is coupled with concept of shaping the interior space as a museum canvas to showcase the owner’s unique contemporary art collection. The project combines a modernist design aesthetic executed in natural materials of wood and stone with sustainable, green features. |
