Malibu Ranch Guest House

A fire-rated steel and concrete frame with roll-down steel doors at its perimeter provides shelter for this guest house located high in the hills above Malibu California. Within this steel frame are two glass and wood modules for living and sleeping. In the event of a fire, or whenever the guest house is not in use, the doors can be closed creating a secure and fireproof enclosure. With the perimeter steel doors up the steel frame becomes a light and airy pavilion providing a setting for indoor-outdoor living. The living/sleeping modules are positioned within this pavilion to create protected outdoor living spaces of varying size. Circulation space is kept to the exterior to maximize the area of the livable space. On the roof are photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. A geothermal pump system will heat and cool the house as well as provide hot water. Currently in design.

Pool House

The pool house pavilion was conceived of as two translucent planes creating privacy for a pool house structure with a separate shower and laundry/storage areas. The main structure is steel with Kalwall and a glass roof insert. The pavilion is wood frame construction with Ipe rain screen siding. Completed in 2006.

Anna's House

A work in progress. Anna's 1950's home has been remodeled to change the flow of the main living space by adding a new deck, door and windows and by removing interior walls. The result is a light filled space that opens up to the view corner of the Cascade mountains. What was a 2 bedroom 1 bath home is in the process of becoming a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with a small 140 sf addition and by carefully re-designing the existing space to work better.
