Location: Glendale, CA
Status: Design Development
Architect: Journey

This residential project in Glendale, California, is characterized by clean lines, a minimalist aesthetic, and a focus on integrating the structure with its natural surroundings. The 2,500-square-foot building, constructed with a cast-in-place concrete structure, is designed to sit harmoniously on a steep hillside, strategically capturing views of Glendale. The architectural approach emphasizes using large windows and skylights to bring in natural light and provide unobstructed views while maintaining a strong connection to the dense vegetation and protected trees around the site. Developed on a $2 million budget, the design showcases a restrained yet elegant material palette, reflecting the principles of modern architecture that prioritize functionality, simplicity, and a seamless relationship between the built and natural environments.
