Los Angeles, CA
Inspired by the ideas of the Anarchitecture Group and Gordon Matta-Clark, the house consists of two buildings standing on a hillside, in opposition and balance, conceding to the site in form and scale. The spatial schism between them is the core of the domestic environment, making space without building it. One structure houses the bedrooms, the other the public spaces, the arrangement intentionally challenging conventions about privacy and publicity, of inside and out, while bringing awareness to the environment as you move through the house. The building facing the street is wrapped with a light filtering screen, ethereal and bright, while the rear building, carved out from the rocky terrain, is made from cast in place concrete.
