Architecture Design of San Remo House

Description About The Project

San Remo House designed by ShubinDonaldson Architects is a modern home located in Pacific Palisades, California, that’s set into a steep hillside of Sullivan Canyon. Indeed, this house is a form carefully crafted to fit into the narrow envelope. Also, taking full advantage from the hillside conditions, the Southern façade defends its edge. While the North opens wide, hold the light and the views beyond. The house nests its spaces, creates interlocking geometries with a strong material pallet that speaks to the surrounding landscape.

The parti of the house is composed of two vertical and horizontal volumes on a stone limestone plinth, rooted into the rugged hillside. Strong vertical and horizontal lines of wood and steel delineate the mass amongst the dense native flora that occupies the canyon, complimenting nature’s patterns. Also, the home’s Southern edge is pulled away from the property line and recessed to allow Southern light to dive into the entry level and the main corridors.

A solid protective front presented as one approaches the house via the main drive. A split face limestone plinth defines the garage while a horizontal band of vertical Afromosia hovers over the main entry. The first, a three story tall volume, opens to the Northern light housing the main stair. Which accesses the garage and private bedrooms above. The horizontal corridor leads to the media room, office, and down to the living spaces below. Every space oriented toward the North. Then, taking every advantage of the site’s unique canyon condition with floor to ceiling glass in both operable and on operable conditions. Moving down the Southern stair to the living spaces below, an unobstructed space contains the living, dining, wine room, and kitchen. Besides, glass sliders across the entire north wall invite the outside in over the patio deck and pool.
