HILLSIDE SPEC [A]

1 of 2 spec home designs on adjacent lots and the larger of the two models. 

Mount Washington is notorious for being one of the most difficult jurisdictions in the city to develop property. The challenge was to create a unique way of living and design for future buyer, while threading the needle of approval with governing bodies at play. The success is found in the balance and geometry alike. A large inverted roof extends along the main level only to be met with cut-away mass that highlights the view of the hillside and Los Angeles east side landscape beyond.
