We’re moving over to the West side of LA today, starting with the Reilly Biddle residence in Venice by duArchitects. Oh how I would love to live in Venice. This home is a collector’s dream with halls and walls of bookshelves for everything from CDs to books to knick knacks. And lots of horizontal goodness from stacked tiles, to stacked bricks to horizontal fencing.

We’re finishing up the East side tour today with this cozy Echo Park home by Nicholas/Budd Architects.
From the architects:
The Kameon/Otsea house was a single story painting studio that was converted into a two story single family residence. The large open studio space was maintained as the main room of the house, and includes the kitchen, large dining area and living room, with huge sliding glass doors opening directly into the garden. The second floor has light filled rooms for sleeping, bathing and dressing, and a small shared office. Each room looks into the canopy of a large tree, and there is a lovely view of the neighboring hillside bordering Chavez Ravine.

This East side modern home designed by Techentin Buckingham Architecture, Inc. is located in Los Feliz, a hip area of LA.
From the architect:
This house is the result of several design strategies pursued in parallel. It opens up to the surrounding views and heritage trees of the neighborhood while simultaneously endeavoring to maintain privacy within. The design includes and experiments with a variety of modern and traditional sustainable systems such as high-performance glass and traditional methods of natural cooling. The spatial relationships between the rooms helps induce and orchestrate air flows, while concurrently organizing the display and conservation of an art collection. The overlap between these strategies allowed for unique and fun design opportunities.
The design re-used the foundations and selected materials of the existing house. The building envelope is composed of a black-painted, redwood ‘rain-screen’ placed over Hypalon rubber siding to shade the walls. The kitchen uses Polygal greenhouse siding to modulate the morning light. A variety of high-performance glass systems were used throughout.
