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.

The US fast food giant McDonald’s has chosen Alias, the historic Italian design brand, to furnish the outdoor areas of its restaurants worldwide as part of the “COME” project. Objective: to design, engineer, develop and install a specific turnkey modular furniture system. The company from Grumello del Monte has taken on this challenge with great enthusiasm, working together with the established French designer Patrick Norguet, with whom it established a highly successful relationship some time ago.
Modulo mobil is a “bookcase – storage – furniture” designed to provide adaptability to every type of home, space and need. The customer can buy the number of modules that he likes, choosing between the largest and the smallest element, composing them together in endless combinations. Depending on the modulo mobil’s configuration that one wants is possible to buy accessories separately: colored and transparent plexiglass drawers for both types of modules, feet for ground support and steel cables for hanging items on walls.
Blurring the boundaries between architecture and furniture this work dissolves the abstract relationship between architectural form and the body into one of a more direct experiential correlation, questioning architecture as object and proposing an architecture where form is the result of action and use.
Brunner uses the occasion of the 2012 Milan Furniture Fair to present two new products: its ‘hoc’ stool and its ‘plot’ modular seating system. Ippolito Fleitz Group was commissioned once again to create a setting resembling an installation, an intense spatial experience in which to showcase Brunner’s new products. From a distance, the strictly black and white backdrop takes a back seat to the colourful seating objects, which draw visitors in to try them out. At closer look, the black and white backdrop transforms itself into a textual world, taking visitors on a poetic voyage of discovery, inspiring them to stop and tarry awhile.
