The Canyon Residence in Los Angeles, United States

June 25, 2011 Category: House, Residential

Designed by Lehrer Architects, The Canyon Residence is located in Los Angeles, United States. Horizontal and vertical view slots are integrated throughout the house, as are sightlines to the entire property from every vantage point. Spectacular and at one with nature, the steel-frame structure is clad in smooth white stucco and expanses of sliding glass walls that literally open out to the garden and surrounding woods, and walkable skylights that visually open up to the sky. Driven by spatial clarity and informed by indoor /outdoor unities, the design exhibits intense horizontal /vertical rigour, with the grand-scale single-family residence organised around two planes: the horizontal plinth of the garden patio that extends the private garden into the living spaces of the ground floor, and the vertical spine that connects and organises the various parts of the building program.
