Carrillo Residence in California






Set on a long narrow site on the edge of the Santa Monica Canyon, the Carrillo residence takes advantage of the Californian climate and views. Designed by Ehrlich Architects, the house is equipped with a glass living room so that one is able to see right through the space from courtyard to courtyard. The informal courtyard at the front of the house was constructed with safety in mind for the owners' two young children whilst two pivet doors allow the living room to open out directly to the outdoors - enabling the interior and exterior to become one. A custom wood ceiling and custom stained concrete allow for a sense of visual continuity; stone slabs mark the interior with marble bench tops lining the bathrooms.
