Electra Residence


Casa Nardi


Malibu Addition
Malibu, California
The project site has an extraordinary location, offering easy access from the PCH and with appealing views to the ocean and to the canyon/hills.
The design strategy has been based in treating this project as a renovation of the existing house while keeping more than 50% of the exterior walls and adding as well a substantial new livable area as allowed by the code.
The existing house will be subject to an interior renovation, including the removal of the existing roof (currently in a bad condition) and by converting it in a flat one the new house will provide a roof terrace on top the main level.
From the lower level, where the existing garage is located, the connections to the upper levels will be via the construction of a residential elevator ensuring accessibility in addition of the ones provided by the regular stairs.
As indicated in all graphics the house is complying with the maximum height permitted for sloped roofs while minimizing a major site re-grading by working with different interior finish floor elevations.

Rexford Residence


Shepherd Cove
This 5-lot single-family detached housing development is environmentally sensitive in its recreation of urban scale, protection of existing vegetation, maximization of valley and mountain views, and mitigation of the impact of a new freeway. Lots vary between 10,000 and 16,000 sf. Located in Claremont, future residents of the five homes will enjoy one of the few places in the city with views of the valley. Great care has been taken to preserve and incorporate the existing mature oak and eucalyptus trees in to the site and home design.
The overall concept for this development is to allow nature to have a greater importance than the architecture. The plans respect the presence of nature by incorporating the available views, preserving 80% of the existing significant trees, planting drought resistant vegetation, and creating a very light architectural presence. The 3,000 sf. two-story houses have a contemporary design, incorporating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces through the use of light and transparent construction. Houses are oriented on the lots to ensure views from nearly every room. The use of trellises, walls and roofline respects the views while shielding the house from the summer sun. Additional energy efficient features are incorporated throughout.
