About Crestridge Residence 獨立家庭住宅

Crestridge Residence 係一間獨立家庭住宅，由一間過時嘅規劃屋全面改建而成。新嘅佈局保留喺原有2100平方呎嘅建築範圍之內，坐落喺一幅面積21,000平方呎嘅斜坡地段上。前立面採用天然鐵木配黑色氧化五金嘅垂直百葉系統，為住宅提供私隱保障。挑高嘅大廳連同大型窗戶，將洛杉磯盆地嘅景致盡收眼底。屋內兩端各設一個私人翼樓，令家人同賓客可以共同生活之餘又保持各自嘅私隱。

Unique Properties: This project was a full gut remodel. The owners purchased a home that had the square footage and lot size they wanted but lacked the aesthetics, flow and functions they sought. We designed a modern home within the footprint of the existing dated house. Accents such as a louver system for privacy along the front elevation, a vaulted great room with a view in the rear, minimal facade detailing and a warm but clean interior palette brought the old home back to life.
Dimensions & Packaging: This is a 2100 SF house on a 21,000 SF down-sloping lot.

Production Technology: The vertical louver system is detailed in clear grain natural iron wood with black oxide hardware which infills a grey aluminum clad frame. The rear elevation is characterized by the confluence of the vaulted great room volume and the elongated frame, enveloped in warm wood siding on the walls, deck and eave. Contrasting the frame is an inset background of whitewashed wood siding with expansive windows opening to a spectacular view of the L.A. basin.
Design Challenge: The challenge of the project was to work within the confines of the existing house and create the functional space that the clients were asking for. We were able to reorganize the interior and create a series of spaces that seamlessly connected to each other and to the exterior. We designed with privacy and hierarchy in mind.
Research: A significant component to a successful remodel is the documentation and understanding of the existing structure. Efficiency is key when designing a remodel. We challenged ourselves to salvage as much as possible for upfront cost savings (framing and foundation). We took those savings and were able to allocate the funds to enrich aesthetic portions of the project (exterior siding material, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, etc).
Inspiration: Making the transition back to sunny California, our design minded clients had visions of keeping doors and windows open year round. Modern, warm and uncluttered was their dream. Without adding a square foot, the existing house was transformed from a 'drive by, don't notice you', tired tract home, into a custom, 'that's a remodel'? modern home that fully encompassed the warmth of family life with the modern aesthetic the couple was looking for.
Project Duration: Design Commencement May 2017 - Construction Completion August 2019
Operation Flow: The family wanted to have a guest quarters but still allowed for privacy from their own bedrooms. The solutions was to design two distinct private wings, at opposite ends of the house, to allow for co-family living.
