A Massive Display of Modern Living : Brentwood Residence



Brentwood Residence is an impressive residential project from Belzberg Architects, a company with quite a few amazing works. Located in a picturesque landscape near the Santa Monica Mountains, you are looking at a good example of contemporary architecture which meets our idea of Los Angeles modern living. The exterior of this house consists of asymmetrical volumes, creating unexpected angles of sight. Large floor to ceiling windows establish a strong indoor-outdoor connection  A large oak tree is the focal point of the site, an imposing “pillar” which the architects took advantage of by creating an outdoor entertaining area together with a tennis field. The residence also features a generous pool with inviting patio furniture. Avant-garde furniture, fresh decorating ideas, art objects and a warm color palette- all create a dreamy interior design, worthy of discovering step by step.- via Arch Tracker

The Gassul house geometry and openings were created while mainly aiming the beautiful landscape of the Carmel Mountain and the will to preserves the existing trees. The north elevation that faces the landscape is largely opened to the view. The privacy of the inhabitant vis-à-vis the street is preserved due to the cantilevered porch that is 2 m higher than the street.

The Kitchen is located close to the entrance and serves easily the dinning lot and the living space. The dining table faces a large window that is framing a preserved olive tree. The master bedroom faces the patio. The house is well illuminated due to the large opening to the north and the Patio that creates an inner south elevation. As the building site is small, the roof serves as the large courtyard of the house.
