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.

Designed in 2015, The Residences at Marina Gate project is a prestigious residential development that comprises three high-rise towers, two residential and one hotel serviced apartments managed by Jumeirah Group International, all offering stunning views of the Marina and the Arabian Gulf.
It is located at the world’s largest artificial marina – Dubai Marina, which is a vibrant tourist hub and a dynamic neighbourhood with many unique residential towers. The Marina is a bustling waterfront community with a mix of residential, commercial, and entertainment options.
Facing the Arabian Gulf and the Marina, The Residences at Marina Gate enjoys one of the best views within Dubai Marina.

The three towers range from 52 to 64 storeys that stand above a cluster of an 8-level podium with retail at lower levels.
The inspiration for the design comes from the sleek and modern aesthetic of Dubai, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The architects aimed to create a sense of openness and connection with the environment, while also ensuring a high level of privacy and exclusivity for the residents.
Render Reality Blending into the urban context The silhouette blends in with the urban context, while the materials and lighting create a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the surrounding landscape. The complex was designed to meet international
standards, using advanced glass, steel, and concrete forms, to give a modern and sophisticated look that reflects the beauty of Dubai while incorporating the natural environment. Villas are stacked in a staggered manner to reinforce its linkage with the main tower, formulating one composition. While the height of the podium was utilised to achieve the required parking count.
Standing tall in the heart of a tourist destination Podium Section Plan The 3 towers are connected through passages within an 8-level terraced podium. This podium was designed to serve as a convenient walkway while incorporating commercial elements for residents. With 50 retail outlets, a supermarket, salons, a gym, and sports facilities, the podium promotes healthy living and creates social spaces. Its design optimises waterfront usage by placing retail and villa units at an ideal angle, maximising views and accessibility.
