lebrun house
An existing house and duplex in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles were adaptively reused to realize a live-work, multi-generational family compound. The result is a composition of articulated rectilinear forms situated in a verdant garden. These plantings continue inside the building, blurring the distinction between inside and outside.
A high vestibule articulated by a grid of asymmetrical panes signifies the entryway. The three-story stairwells operate as light towers and ventilation shafts, providing occupants with natural light and air. Solar energy heats a hydronic radiant system, the pool, and the laundry room, which features a solar window for naturally drying clothes.
