Living in the Desert, a new book by Phaidon Press, arrived in the mail today and features a spread on our Four Eyes House. The book “showcases 50 works of residential architecture from across the last few decades, each with a unique connection to the desert in which it's situated from the US, Europe, Asia, Australia and beyond.” A review of the book, for which we contributed our thoughts on desert living, can be found on Artsy.net. We’re honored to see our work included in such a beautiful monograph, alongside works by architects Rick Joy, Johnston Marklee, and Olson Kundig.

The AIA California Council has selected our Rear Window House as one of just ten honorees in the state for their 2018 Residential Architecture Award. This marks a huge achievement for us; the project is now a design award triple winner, at the local, state, and national levels of the American Institute of Architects.. Only a very tiny minority of projects ever achieve such a “triple crown” recognition from all chapter levels of the organization. We are incredibly humbled by the realization that, with this honor, our little project now has basically no AIA awards left to win!

An awards ceremony will be held at the Egyptian Theater on October 30th. We are incredibly grateful to the AIA|LA for this award; it's a wonderful culmination to all our effort for the last few years!

After several months of production, we're excited to share a short film showing life in our Rear Window House in Culver City.

Our aim was three minutes of thoughtful quiet; please view below (fullscreen recommended!).

Following up on our AIA Long Beach | South Bay Honor Award win last Thursday, yesterday our Corner Pocket House received a Design Citation Award from the AIA Los Angeles. The project is thus a winner in both the AIA chapter where our firm is located and the chapter where the project is located, a significant achievement. Given the strong competition by highly-regarded design offices, we are extremely honored by the jury's recognition.

What an amazing evening last night! Our Corner Pocket House in Manhattan Beach received the Honor Award at the AIA Long Beach | South Bay Design Awards, making it the only project out of all 42 entries to achieve this top-level design accolade. The jury was made up of three highly esteemed Los Angeles architects, Lorcan O'Herlihy FAIA, Alice Kimm FAIA, and Michele Saee, who noted:
“This project is simple, elegant, and thoughtfully detailed. The site strategy deals well with its urban context and situation on a corner lot. Exterior proportions work well complementing the excellent quality of natural daylighting of interior spaces. The heights and volumes of spaces are nicely calibrated to the corresponding functions of the spaces. It makes powerful use of indoor and outdoor relationships which is the project’s central concept. In relationship to budget and scale, this project is beautifully executed and is most deserving of the honor award.”
We are incredibly honored to receive this award, which is given every two years, and thank the jury and AIA LB|SB for the recognition!
