Young Hermosa Beach architecture studio wins prestigious AIA LA residential award.

As bold and straightforward as its name suggests, this AIA LA award-winning home plays with extreme contrast to create a minimal, modern masterpiece in the heart of Los Angeles. 

Inspired by adventurous, world-traveling clients, the project juxtaposes a stacked geometric exterior and a bright, volumetric interior in a low-impact, alternative approach to suburban housing. 

While the architecture evokes the familiar footprint of a traditional barn, the floating black volume defies simple classification through its asymmetrical ridge and the playful positioning of the extruded window. It evokes the classic, while simultaneously becoming a dynamic representation of elegant modernism.
