Project No. 04 · Hollywood Hills, California
Project Overview
The site faced west — which, in the Hollywood Hills, means the light starts golden at four and stays golden until almost seven. The studio’s first decision was about that light. Every other decision had to live underneath it.
We worked from early architectural drawings forward. The interiors were specified alongside the steel — built into the bones of the house so that nothing later would feel applied. Lighting plans drawn before drywall. Material samples held against the actual late-afternoon sun, not a designer’s lamp.
“The best rooms are not decorated. They are arranged to hold what already wanted to live there.”
Two and a half years on, the house holds itself the way the studio hoped it would. Limewashed walls that pick up the late afternoon. Antique linen on a custom sofa. Art selected by the family, supported by lighting designed for it. A house that does not perform — it just gets quieter and more itself as the day goes on.
