SWISS PRECISION MERGES WITH THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT OF LOS ANGELES

From a modern home in the Hollywood Hills covered in a mosaic of skylights to an expansive gallery for art and family in Madrid, XTEN Architecture has been designing custom residential homes and cultural buildings of distinction for clients around the world since 2000. What sets XTEN Architecture apart may be the firm’s ethos based on an architectural approach that is a coercion of Swiss precision and rigor and the progressive and experimental spirit of Los Angeles. XTEN’s designs are characterized by sculptural forms, refined materials, advanced structural strategies, and sustainable technologies – all implemented with an unmatched level of craftsmanship and careful consideration of natural site features. As a result, XTEN’s interior and exterior spaces flow seamlessly to create uninhibited, airy, light-filled expanses inextricably and organically connected with the surrounding environment. Based in Los Angeles and Sissach, Switzerland, XTEN Architecture is led by partners Monika Haefelfinger and Scott Utterstrom. The duo’s pursuit of architectural excellence has earned XTEN Architecture a number of highly-notable awards and distinctions including 22 AIA Awards. XTEN Architecture has also exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Los Angeles in a show entitled, “A New Sculpturalism: Contemporary Architecture from Southern California.”
