Iconic Movie Houses - Part I
Each of our designs is inspired by the lives of those who will work, live, and play in them. The lives that occupy the work, inspire the body of work. Architectural spaces hold the stories of our lives, and similarly, movie settings are containers for unfolding storylines.
Skylights & Volumes: A Modern Power Couple
Open volumes add spaciousness to a home, and skylights bring in floods of natural light. Together these signature design elements create a bright and modern living environment.
Creating Bundy Drive
We are excited to introduce our Bundy Drive house in Brentwood, Los Angeles. A modern home for resort style living.
Modern Designs Using LED
LED lights are an increasingly popular addition to the interior decor and exterior landscape design of luxury modern homes. With their wide variety of colors, LEDs can turn a room into a sensory experience, and set the mood in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
House Love in the Time of Corona
The pandemic has changed how we live in our homes, and there’s a growing desire now to build ones that we can really fall in love with.
The Shape of Light
Our work is seen as the inventive orchestration of space realized in stone, wood, glass, and steel. But there is another, ethereal, yet fundamental component to the design–daylight. Understanding its direction, movement, and intensity in terms of the building site is the starting point.
35 Years - A Look Back
Looking through our design archives at the number of projects and the terrific clients we’ve enjoyed serving, three and a half decades has added up to a body of work we are excited to celebrate and share with you, along with commentary from principal architect Marc Whipple.
Ode to the Hills
Whipple Russell Architects has built many houses over the years in both Beverly Hills and the Hollywood Hills above Sunset Boulevard.
Remembering Gin D. Wong LA Architect
Though not well known to the general public, Gin Wong, who died this month at age 94, was the creative eye behind several iconic postwar Southern California buildings.
Mandeville Canyon Remodel
It’s nice to check back in on our past projects every once in a while as new owners move in and add their influence to the ever-changing life of the house.
Modern Icon: The Stahl House
