The evanHOUSE situated in modernist landmark community of Crestwood Hills Los Angeles, created by local architecture studio bittonidesignstudio. This house originally built at 1957, sited high above with panoramic of the Los Angeles city. The project was framed around taking something ‘modern’ and making it more contemporary. The existing spatial condition of the house was clearly divided between public in the lower level and private at the upper level, as well as fixed within a completely horizontal orientation. The major move was to carve out a double high space above the kitchen in order to animate the section vertically and allow for more social interaction. While the idea of indoor/outdoor living is typically taken for granted in Southern California, the altitude of the site allowed for an atmospheric connection rather than a connection to the landscape. As the clouds change color and are in constant motion along the coastline, the house and its materials were thought of as a canvas to be manipulated by the sky. – Photos by Eric Staudenmaier Photography
