Before switching to a new site in Santa Monica, this design dealt with the constraints of being located on a tight plot on a heavily congested vehicular thoroughfare. Maximizing privacy and blocking noise from the street became two of the primary objectives driving the design for the house resulting in an inwardly facing floor plan. Oriented around a back yard pool, the project studied several screening options for providing varied levels of transparency between interior and exterior spaces through a series of glass walls veiled by patterned screens of cut aluminum, orange honeycomb glass, and laser cut vinyl.
