Mountain View Residence

Positioned atop a hill in the coveted Mar Vista neighborhood, the Mountainview Residence embraces its setting with intention and restraint. Guided by our core belief that everyone deserves good design rooted in clarity and purpose, the home is organized into two wings that follow the natural geometry of the site. A glass-and-steel corridor—transparent, clean, and honest in its expression—connects the wings, reinforcing our commitment to truth in materials.

Light plays a central role in the experience of the home. Every room receives natural light from three sides, embodying our principle of equity of light and ensuring that each space feels open, uplifting, and connected to the surrounding landscape.

The material palette—concrete, glass, and steel—was selected for its authenticity and durability. These elements are presented in their purest form, polished yet unpretentious, creating a residence that feels simultaneously grounded and weightless. Through balanced proportions and thoughtful detailing, the home achieves a minimal, refined presence while maintaining the stability and substance that define our work.
