TOWNSCAPE

Private Residence
Redondo Beach, California

Distinct yet recurring building styles for individual rooms/ structures utilize separate forms and groups of materials, which are experienced throughout the interior and exterior of the project. The resulting spaces express a sense of time and history.

This home enables its occupants to “go to town”, reaching des- tinations of different feeling within the structure. A diversity of place and experience is promoted.

CHALLENGE A couple desires an intimate living experience that does not sacrifice variety, including shared living spaces and individual private spaces with diverse moods.

SOLUTION A “ town street”, providing a promenade within the home through evolving architectural styles. Each room is an individual building with distinct space, but all are structurally connected and continuous.
