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.
Creating BigHorn
This project was built adjacent to the Mountain Course in the Bighorn Golf Club, Palm Desert, California, in the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
Modern Home Outdoor Living
A house open to the outdoors is now a staple of modern residential design and is a defining hallmark of Whipple Russell’s design for a West Coast lifestyle.
The Modern Swimming Pool
Pools, as seen from the air, miles of cool blue dots, glittering diamonds of leisure and communion, became a central modern character in many of David Hockney’s 1960’s and ‘70s paintings.
Richard Erdman – The Liveliness of Stone
We are very pleased to be working again with renowned sculptor Richard Erdman. Our first partnership was for our Trousdale project, where his Serenade presides over the entrance.
Creating Los Tilos in the Hollywood Hills
It is always our ambition for our clients to experience an emotional and sensory reaction upon entering a house of our design. “Ahh” and “Wow,” mean we’ve succeeded.
Creating Trousdale
Guests coming up the front steps of this hilltop home are met with a Carrera marble sculpture by Richard Erdman…
Down Under: In the California Desert
The modern earth sheltered house is primarily built into the side of a hill or berm with a glass aperture providing illumination for the space.
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.
Creating Laurel Way
Seeing is believing, and apparently our soon-to-be client, Richard, became a believer after watching our house on Summit Drive go up.
Modern Design: Engineer Koje Shoraka
