Come see four incredible homes
designed by architects for their families on the Eastside of Los Angeles.
Murnane Residence by
Project M Plus Elysian Cottage by Bunch Design
Los
Angeles, CA (April 16, 2014) – design east of La Brea (de LaB) is pleased to present its second
annual Eastside home tour, “Architects
at Home,” on May 10th from 12:00-4:00 p.m. The
popular tour will explore homes designed and built by architects for their own
families. A sense of experimentation, playfulness, inspiration, and a
creative approach to budget constraints pervade these homes. The homes featured
on de LaB’s “Architects at Home” Eastside
home tour include:
Paige Residence by
Tom Marble
Paige is a 2500 square foot home with
attached 1250 square foot studio/garage on an acre of land in Northeast Los
Angeles. A series of rooms built around a courtyard, it also extends to outdoor
rooms with incredible views in various direction. The interior features richly
colored accents, multiple generations of furnishings, and a collaborative
aesthetic between the artist and architect who live there.
Murnane Residence by Project M Plus
Project M Plus’ Lucile House sits on the
top of the Moreno Hills in Silver Lake. With views from the Hollywood sign to
the San Gabriel Mountains, the architecture is informed by Dutch design. The
work is characterized by inventiveness, the creative use of materials, and
experimentation. An open plan, large glass windows, subtle angled roof, and a
cantilever structural system minimizes site impact.
Elysian House by Bunch Design
Located in Solano Canyon, this 105-year-old
house was transformed by opening up existing tiny spaces into one open space.
Kitchen, dining and living area all open to one another, but each is defined by
its own identity, using color and material, allowing the space to be connected
but with unique characteristics.
Elysian Cottage by Bunch Design
Located in Solano Canyon next to downtown
Los Angeles, the two-bedroom, one-bath house frames the natural surroundings
using carefully placed windows and creates a cabin-like space that is
contemporary but also warm and intimate. The home draws much of its inspiration
from ancient Japanese design. The ceiling, made of clear Douglas fir,
emphasizes the linearity of the house and helps make the house feel simultaneously
cozy and large.
