The Monte Grigio Drive Residence, located in the picturesque Pacific Palisades, embodies the fusion of modern design and wellness. The design philosophy of the project places a strong emphasis on the integration of the structure with its natural environment through the use of a central courtyard, establishing a harmonious connection between interior and exterior spaces. This minimalist and functional design draws inspiration from the International Style and the Case Study Houses of the Pacific Palisades, displaying a reverence for architectural heritage.
To provide the functional needs of the client, the Monte Grigio Drive Residence features a flexible and versatile layout that accommodates a range of activities and lifestyles. We also worked to make the basement not feel like a basement by incorporating ample natural light and ventilation, as well as designing spaces that feel open and inviting.
The design of the Monte Grigio Drive Residence reflects our commitment to creating spaces that prioritize wellness and harmony with the natural environment. The central courtyard not only establishes a connection between interior and exterior spaces but also provides a calming and serene atmosphere for the residents.
Overall, the Monte Grigio Drive Residence represents a balance between modern design and environmental sustainability, with a focus on community involvement and responsible design practices.
