More than just a home, this awardwinning architectural Residence captures the dance of light and the harmony between architecture and nature, redefining the typical Los Angeles single-family residence. Envisioned as an urban oasis, the Moreno home maintains street privacy while inviting the landscape to flow into the structure. Balancing enclosed and open spaces, the design creates a fluid connection between the interior space and the nature surrounding it. Serving as a multi-functional skin the exterior combines stucco, cedar siding, and custom metal panels, integrating nature and architecture. The main floor is anchored around a continuous corridor opening to central courtyards. Floor to ceiling sliding glass walls open to seamlessly connect the ground floor indoor living spaces with courtyard gardens and dining areas. Light penetrates every part of the house, changing throughout the day and painting rooms in dappled light and shadow. The nature and architecture integrate within the landscape design to ensure a seamless flow and visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces. More than visual focal points the courtyards are essential to the living experience, extending indoor spaces for outdoor dining, relaxation, and entertainment. The movable glass walls blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor areas to create a unique living experience. When the glass walls are open, the interior seamlessly merges with the surrounding landscape. Open or closed, layers of light and shadow interplay throughout the day to create a painterly effect throughout the house.
