Architecture Design of Arkell House

Description About The Project

Arkell House designed by Taller Aragonés is a splendid project that take advantage from the location to create indoor outdoor connection and beautiful view to the nature. Indeed, the designer takes advantage of the light, breeze, and temperature that a city like Los Angeles provides. Hence, an intimate refuge that had to be opened as much as possible in order to welcome these elements, but being careful not to discover all the space at once. Some inherited walls from the previous structure allowed to play with an element of surprise within the house. The built perimeter of the project confined by privacy walls that create an intimate courtyard for every room.

Once insides, all the volumes, every room such as living room, dining room, bedroom, and the elements within it designed meticulously and carefully as a unit, but coherent to the surrounding space. A sum of elements that generate space. A sum of spaces that narrate a story. On the other hand, the designer worked with Terrazzo flooring for the first time to bring the unique elements throughout this house. Also, a material that helped to merge interior to exterior transitions.

On the other hand, color has been inherent to many examples of Mexican architecture for hundreds of years and a natural step to use nowadays technology to play with this element at night. The house and its walls transformed through LED-colored lighting, transporting you to a different mood and context.

Text by the Architects: The Arkell House is located in a corner lot surrounded by trees, hillsides, and blue skies. The existing landscaping, and many more trees added throughout the process, helped us bring the greenery in the background closer to our perceptible space.
