SAOTA’s Hillside residence in Los Angeles is situated instantly above Sundown Boulevard on a promontory only one over from Pierre Koenig’s landmark Stahl Home. The location is a 20 000 sq. foot property, that includes 300-degree views over the LA skyline and the town basin beneath, and the design was conceived of extra as a self-contained oasis quite than a standard home.
The Stahl Home served as a key level of departure. The kinds and articulation of Hillside’s roof planes, which had been pushed as far ahead as attainable in order that they might create significant exterior coated dwelling areas, set its structure in dialogue with the enduring silhouette close by and join it to the drama of its context.
The projecting eaves and soffits create a “fifth” façade proved fortuitous in creating a way of identification as a result of the wraparound perimeter views necessitated the rigorously managed placement of stable partitions and in depth use of glass to maximise the panoramic potential of the positioning. Consequently, the structure is outlined by means of the floating, overlapping horizontal ground and roof plates curating particular view axes quite than mass partitions or exterior construction.
The steep strategy from beneath resulted in a dramatic entrance by means of a top-lit central atrium – rising by way of a 12-car underground storage and an indoor waterfall cascading right into a courtyard – earlier than surfacing into the centre of the dwelling degree in a dramatic second of revelation as a dead-on view of downtown LA opens up. The programme is organized round this focal view, loosely forming two wings, one oriented east-west, and the opposite north-south. The largely open-plan inside, within the absence of mass partitions, has been articulated vertically and thru volumetric adjustments to rationalise the format.
References to modernist building strategies are picked up within the articulation of the metal columns and the sensuous and tactile use of timber and limestone on the flooring and wall, which is carried extensively all through the inside and exterior detailing. A number of the figuring out options such because the cut-outs within the roof have been reprised within the detailing of the inside ceilings so as to add curiosity.
In line with SAOTA’s in depth expertise in creating seamless indoor/outside open-plan dwelling areas applicable to their base in Cape City, South Africa, the place the Mediterranean local weather and topography are similar to that in LA, they conceived of the programme as a collection of dwelling rooms related to in depth coated outside terraces. These outside areas are in flip enclosed by an unlimited undulating infinity pool and luxurious landscaping alongside the perimeter, subtly screening neighbouring properties (and making certain their privateness) with climbing ficus timber.
In line with the rules taken from the Stahl Home and the ground-breaking Los Angeles Case Research Homes, which had been constructed between 1945 and 1966, the beneficiant allocation of outside area maximises the potential of the habitable local weather, reconnecting up to date LA structure with a considerably misplaced side of its modernist heritage.
