An interesting house in Los Angeles that was designed for a very artistic family in 2007. Pretty much some modern architecture was added to the existing house to make it twice the size. What resulted is almost a two houses in one type of set up. Some other details via ArchDaily are below:
The clients for this house renovation / extension, a couple with three daughters, are a creative, democratic unit. The father directs film trailers, the mother is a graphic designer and illustrator, while the high school / middle school / elementary school aged daughters are all immersed in their own versions of their parents visual cultures. The family have asked that 1,000 sf be added to the site in addition to the existing 1,000 sf house.
The scheme leaves half of the house for the daughter’s bedrooms and incorporates the other half plus new extensions in front and back into a public zone and a private bedroom for the parents. This strategy amounts to a new 16 ft wide linear house being inserted into the existing house. Multi-toned, bright colors accentuate the new pieces which suggest a graphic expression representative of the family’s interests.
My family will most likely be pretty artistic, so something like this would be dope for me.
