Perched lightly on an exquisite site near the top of the fabled Trousdale Estates neighborhood in Beverly Hills, the Breeze Blocks House was designed for a very sophisticated East Coast-based couple who likes to entertain when in town.
The Serra Barn house takes advantage of the naturally sloping site to organize its contents across two levels. To the east, a two-story element contains the entry, kitchen, and dining spaces, with children’s bedrooms above.
The Split residence was designed with green practices in mind; LED lighting is used throughout, and photovoltaic panels are incorporated into the roof. The hulls are clad in a composite of rice husks, water, and mineral oil that simulates wood, but is far more robust and sustainable.
