Designing a custom home on a lot in the midst of "cookie cutter" tract homes presented a challenge. The clients, both artists and designers, with extensive collections and eclectic tastes, required a home which incorporated their art collections into the design.

In addition, architectural guidelines imposed by a homeowner's association,
limited the palette of available materials and architectural styles.

The curved façade draws the visitor into complex interior spaces, which lead to the focal point - a north-facing solarium living room with views to the undulating lap pool, geometric gardens and the San Fernando Valley beyond.

Low-voltage cable lighting provided the flexibility to illuminate the display of an ever-changing art collection. Stained concrete floors with mosaic tile accents provide visual treats as one passes from space-to-space. All rooms possess a mix of natural and artificial light to provide views and ample task lighting for work and respite.
