Perched on a hilltop in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the Los Angeles basin, the project gently lands a dynamic building on top of a buried podium that replicates the natural topography that was once there, before the area was subdivided for development. The design utilizes an unconventional split-level configuration to follow this topography with staggered floor plates over a central void space.
The project was informed by automotive performance design with concealed technologies that amplify the sensory performance of the architecture.
