This custom home demonstrated current products, materials and construction methods on the leading edge of sustainability, within communities throughout Los Angeles. VISION House - Los Angeles '12 by Structure Home.a collaboration with Green Builder Media to build a new and sustainable showcase home, the first of its kind on the West Coast. The architect and client collaboration strived to achieve modern, clean spaces playfully interjecting rustic elements throughout the home.ĥ beds, 5 ½ baths, and approximately 4,289 square feet. Energy efficient materials along with reclaimed architectural wood details were seamlessly integrated, adding sustainable design elements to this transitional design. The client, who also specializes in residential interiors, had a vision of ‘transitional’ style for the home, marrying clean and contemporary elements with touches of antique charm. The residence opens up to the outdoor living and views from multiple spaces and visually connects interior spaces in the inner court. The overall floor plan design centers on maximizing the views, while extensive glazing is carefully placed to frame and enhance them. Structural considerations required a more extensive tear down, however the clients wanted the entire remodel design kept intact, essentially recreating much of the existing home.

Prior to the renovation, the house had a bland 1970s exterior.
This project is a stunning example of an exterior, that is both asymmetrical and symmetrical. The color scheme - blue-grey siding, cherry-wood door and roof underside, and varied shades of tan and blue stone - is complimented by the crisp-contrasting black accents of the thin-round metal columns, railing, window sashes, and the roof fascia board and gutters.
Horizontal sustainable-fiber cement board replaces the original vertical wood siding, and widens the appearance of the facade. The multicolored tan stone, used for the risers and retaining walls, is proportionally carried around the base of the house. The blue-stone terrace conveys even more interest, as it gradually moves upward, morphing into steps, until it reaches the porch. This protective covering makes a dramatic statement, as it hovers over the front door. The shape of the angled porch-roof, sets the tone for a truly modern entryway.
