Contemporary modern design

In Los Angeles, where the landscape is as much a client as the human resident, architecture becomes an act of translation. This Beverly Hills hillside home, conceived by Whipple Russell Architects, answers a geologic challenge with sculptural serenity — a cascading Mediterranean retreat that follows the natural slope of its ridgeline parcel with grace, restraint, and reverence.

The concept for the Horizon House was to imbue the architecture with the essence of the vast panoramic view found at the site. In order to capture the wide expanse of mountain and valley, the architecture uses a language of longitudinal planes to frame the Aspen horizon. Suspended above a rugged, stone plinth, the roof planes define spaces that cascade down the steeply sloped site and curate views both focused and panoramic. Floor-to-ceiling glass and strategically placed sliding doors connect the town and mountain view to a protected upslope courtyard for a truly seamless connection with nature.  ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE ADAM ROUSE Caption More
