Residence Overlooking Mulholland Drive

The residence is located at the end of a cul-de-sac on a promontory elevated above legendary Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. It was originally built in 1961 and the renovation and addition was to reflect the mid-century-style architecture o that time.

The pad area was enlarged by building retaining walls on all three sides of the garden area and thereby creating the space for a curved infinity pool that followed the contours of the topography and the water edge was designed purposely to blend in with the distant view of downtown.

In order to create enough space for a pool, the existing living room was demolished; for not only did it offer limited openings to the garden, it certainly lacked any perspective of downtown. The newly design space allows the entire living room area to be open on three sides and thereby creating a seamless flow between the inside and outdoor.

A terrazzo finished was selected that further blends the two areas together and the same finish was used for the bathroom surfaces and countertops. The building is layered in the use of materials including plaster, stone, terrazzo and large expanses of glass. Internally it is arranged as a series of redesigned individual open-plan spaces with a maximum of transparency to the outdoor surroundings.

이 레지던스는 로스앤젤레스(Los Angeles)의 전설적인 멀홀랜드 드라이브(Mulholland Drive)에서 높이 솟은 곶의 막다른 골목 끝에 있다. 이 레지던스는 원래 1961년에 지어졌으며, 보수와 증축은 중세기 건축물의 스타일을 반영하기 위한 것이었다.

패드 영역은 정원의 세 면에 옹벽을 쌓아서 지형 윤곽을 따라 곡선을 이루는 인피니티 풀 공간을 만들었으며, 수영장의 가장자리는 의도적으로 도심지의 원거리 전망과 조화를 이루도록 설계되었다. 수영장을 위한 충분한 공간을 확보하기 위해 기존의 거실을 철거했다. 그것은 정원에만 국한된 입구를 제공했을 뿐만 아니라, 확실히 도심에 대한 관점도 부족했기 때문이다.
