VALLEY RESIDENCE

Conceptualized as a contemporary ruin that could have existed in this location for centuries, a series of earthen walls serve as the primary organizational element and a means of creating a sense of solidity and rootedness to the physical site. Spread over more than 2 acres, these rectilinear walls stand as powerful, grounding elements that create a sense of connectivity between the four independent structures that make up the property. Crafted from rammed earth, they anchor the building to the site, instilling the project with a profound sense of rootedness and belonging. This connection to the land bestows the architecture an effortless sense of belonging and a timeless quality. Location: Size: Project Budget: Status: Role:

Inside these monumental walls, the interior spaces serve as a calming sanctuary, reconnecting the occupant with nature, light, and shadow as a means of breaking from the frenetic pace of daily life. Delicate roofs are elegantly inserted between the parallel walls, providing shelter while allowing nature to seep in. The roofs, interior wooden walls, and delicately crafted screening elements counterbalance the mass of the rammed earth walls. They bring the scale down to a more human level, creating spaces that are functional and exude a sense of subtle drama as the day unfolds. Marrying the strength of earthen walls and the rugged beauty of local stone with the site’s wild landscape, the project is a testament to the harmonizing of elements. The organic and rectilinear acting as compliments to one another as this contemporary ruin ensures its place in time. Offering a sense of belonging and warmth through its carefully crafted interior and robust exterior.

RINCON RESIDENCE

Located atop a mountain with distant views of the Channel Islands off the coast, these buildings attempt to take a differential attitude to beautify the immediate landscape and the profundity of the panoramic views. Envisioned as a series of horizontal planes nestled into the hillside to create shelter while maximizing the view and exposure to the ocean and city views below. The earthen roofs allow the structures to nearly disappear as one approaches them from above, only to slowly reveal themselves as a series of eroded masses nestled within the confines of the hillside.

OJAI RESIDENCE

Situated on 10 acres of untouched land with panoramic views of Topa Topa Mountain in the heart of Meiners Oaks, a culturally rich farming town, our architectural challenge was to create a unique and humble living experience for a young family that seamlessly integrates with the neighborhood surroundings. Through a careful balance of design elements, our project embraces the landscape, paying homage to the town’s agricultural heritage while providing a harmonious sanctuary for the family.

VIA FRUTERIA RESIDENCE

Nestled atop a serene knoll, our architectural vision departs from the conventional pursuit of distant vistas. Instead, we endeavor to craft a dwelling that cherishes the essence of an internal sanctuary, where both tranquility and lively gatherings find their place. At the heart of this dwelling, a central courtyard, resplendent with spa-like retreat spaces, beckons residents to unwind, forging an intimate connection with nature. Here, one can escape into the verdant embrace of their surroundings, a haven of reprieve.
