The Dorland Home :: Lloyd Wright, Architect

Lloyd Wright had a vision to design an affordable quality home with characteristic elements of his father's Usonian homes and the Dorland home was created. Mr. Dorland said it best in a letter to Lloyd when he wrote, "It isn't like living, it's like being on vacation.'' This sense of serenity was achieved as Lloyd created this home to blend seamlessly with it's natural surroundings. The awe inspiring living room features complimentary stains on large sections of wood panels to create a one-of-a-kind diamond pattern backdrop for the beamed ceilings. Walls of glass and rose colored block walls rise up from polished concrete floors to meet the ceilings. Walls of glass doors collapse into each other, creating a seamless transition into the thoughtfully planned Sylvan yard. Lloyd pulled the rose colored block and diamond pattern elements from the house and used them throughout the landscape design of the pool and patios completing his vision.

Mar Vista Architectural :: Ron Godfredsen, Architect

Once featured as an LA Times “Home of The Month” this Mar Vista residence has a low profile from the street, which, upon entry, gradually reveals the surprise of soaring ceilings, layered angles and reflecting light. This unusually large trapezoidal shaped plot of land allows the luxury of a single story structure with enough space for a 21st Century family. From the recessed entry, one is immediately drawn to the outdoor lap pool which creates flow from the interior to the natural surroundings and reflects its surface light onto the ceiling canopy. The triangular great room encompasses the open kitchen, with island, brilliantly concealing the appliances and supplies from the adjoining living and dining room. A dual-sided fireplace with soft stainless surround serves the living room and patio, where the roof line's extended axis creates an outdoor living area. The family room, with an outdoor patio as its backdrop, serves as the interface between the public areas and the bedrooms. The master bedroom is flooded with light, and offers a serene gravel garden as a private outdoor sanctuary. The surfaces throughout the home are a combination of polished concrete, steel columns and straight grain Douglas fir cabinetry. The garage has been converted into a sky-lit studio.
