Established families and professionals alike will be drawn to this new hillside community that provides a mix of contemporary and modern semi-custom homes. Located in an established community where new build opportunities are rare, the homes are designed individually to maximize the lot. The architectural style is accentuated with clean stucco lines, tile stone, horizontal siding, large windows and sizeable modern glass doors. The color palette is kept simple with cool whites and grays, while the materials provide interest and contrast. Architects used their keen understanding of the LAMC (Los Angeles Municipal Code) and Hillside ordinances to deliver these exclusive and highly functional homes. Panoramic views of the city skyline can be enjoyed from the many outdoor spaces throughout the home.
The site experiences grades at around 50 percent slope. The design team leveraged this to create variance on the street scene and establishing two variations; downhill lots place the living spaces below garages and uphill lots establish living levels above garages. Coordinating with the structural and civil engineers, designers integrated the massive retaining walls needed into the design of the home which provides owners with a unique design feature on the interior. These modern homes are a departure from the typical and are ideal for the established buyer who may commute to nearby employment centers.
