Article source: MOLINA DESIGN S.A.S The project is located on a residential street in a traditional sector of Los Angeles (Mar Vista) at a distance of 4 miles from Venice Beach. The neighborhood consists of single-family houses, mostly single-story, with the typology of southern California houses: porch, sloping ceilings, façade materials with wood and stucco coatings, demarcation of the main access, among others.

The combination of sloping roof and flat roof was included to continue with our philosophy of showing a structure with basic, modern lines without losing its housing character.

The two rooms and the access to the house are located on the main facade and the kitchen, living room and main room on the rear facade. In the social area, the height from floor to ceiling is increased to have a modern clerestory to facilitate for the natural light to illuminate the home and also to differentiate social areas from private ones.

In addition, a good selection of natural and recyclable materials and ventilation of the house (cross ventilation to avoid accumulation of toxic gases within it).
