Architecture Design of HI55 House

Description About The Project

HI55 House designed by Arshia Architects is an impressive and prominent project, located in West Hollywood, California. Indeed, the main challenge of this project was to maximize the performance both in function and spatial on a very small triangular shaped lot with a slope. The zoning regulations applied challenging conditions to this two family zoned site that would’ve made the project unfeasible with a traditional side by side approach to massing. The project designed as two intertwined units. Shaping along a spiral continuum platform, that starts at ground level and extends to the roof. This allowed both units to take advantage of yards and deck while having uniquely separate presence and entrances from two street sides. The two units operate independently and in single-family residences without having privacy or access to either compromised by each other.

On the other hand, the directionality of lines in architecture has power due to the gravitational forces exuded by the earth and foreseeable forces of nature such as earthquakes. Horizontal architecture is more difficult to realize and build than vertical architecture. When the mass tectonics shifted horizontally, not only does this mass break and diminish in scale, but it also relegates power and excitement to its reader. The spatial arrangement is derived from peeling. Also, lifting the landscape in a spiral order to shape the floor plates of the project that follow the natural topography of the land in a split level configuration.

Once insides, the interiors designed to create the open plan with indoor outdoor connection. Also, the integrated spaces of kitchen, living room and dining room to save the area. Also, create the cozy spaces for this house.

The house provides for an internal/ external living space, through setbacks on the ground floor or by orienting the openings toward the street.

In addition to this, all rooms of this house has stunning views to the nature outdoor.

Text by the Architects: The design emphasizes the aesthetics of an object as an intrinsic value over concepts of architecture as a neutral placeholder for human activity. This concept is rooted in the fertility of design on its own and its transformative power, both socially and economically.
