M’MASTERHALL FORTUNEPOT (Restaurant) – Building an oriental space | LDH DESIGN
In the present time of inherited food, dining also gradually carries spatial attributes – social, business, banquet, internet-famous site and other needs.

A captivating site looking east towards the San Gabriel mountains with a unique view of the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Observatory, the firm’s clients wanted a family home for themselves and their three children. Because the usable area of the site was somewhat limited and restricted by planning ordinances, they needed to place a substantial part of the program below grade. It made sense to locate the main living spaces and the parents’ suite on the upper level and locate the three children’s rooms as well as a family play area and media space in the basement. The most pressing design challenge was how to get enough light into the lower level while providing privacy from the street and access to the view. The design solution involved creating a central lower-level courtyard with a bridged connection to the main entry above, focused directly on the view of the Hollywood sign in the distance.
The house is separated from the street by a series of stone walls with only a small break on axis with the entry bridge. Entry is through a metal gate and along a tall water wall overlooking the central courtyard and leading to the glass bridge. Upon entering, the living area looks directly out over the pool with the kitchen and dining family space to the left and the main bedroom wing to the right. The living area contains a unique bar area with an aquarium back drop and a clear glass floor to the wine cellar below.
The bedrooms on the lower level all look out over a central landscaped courtyard, with a sliding glass wall that combines the outdoor garden with the family room in pleasant weather. The lower level includes a gym and wellness area in addition to the wine room, with its glass ceiling to the bar area above. Since space is at such a premium, parking for the property is accessed by a ramp and located below the rear garden and pool area.
A palette of natural stone and soft wood tones, accented by black steel windows and trim, creates a warm and inviting series of contemporary spaces, with a seamless connection to the surrounding garden and hillside spaces.

Moscow Brewing Company has launched a new brand space that includes a tasting room, company store and lounge zone, located on the vast brewery grounds.
The space was previously used for the project «Brewhouse», that provided young street artists with a platform for displaying their work. As part of the new project, fragments of the artworks have been preserved on the walls. They have an influence on zoning scenarios and the design of individual elements.
The entrance area is characterized by bold formal compositions that draw on the symbolism and aesthetics of the company. Custom designed elements echo industrial machinery; a steel tasting ‘tank’ bar stand, massive pipe–shaped lamps and benches that resemble huge wire spools.

Architects usually have to deal with many conditions given by clients, especially when designing a house, because it directly affects people’s life. They spend large amount of money in building it and then spend many hours in it once it is built. On the contrary, this project involved few conditions given by our client, because this room would be used as his “second home” and “lounge” for private gatherings and he only needed very basic life functions. His only request for us was to design a “place to enjoy good wine with close friends” and a “table made of solid wood.”
