Barrington Residence
Eric Rosen Architects
The clients that approached Eric Rosen Architects to design their family home, the Barrington Residence, were keen to realise a property that relished in the southern California climate, whilst fulfilling their desire for an indoor/outdoor living experience. A keen admirer of Gordon Matta-Clark’s ‘Splitting’, Eric Rosen Architects imbued a design inspired by the architect-artist’s seminal cut buildings.

Rolling down a hillside, the original home occupying the plot stimulated very little connection with its surroundings – which includes views of the Getty Museum to the north and vistas to the east. Inspired to resolve the disjointedness the home projected, Eric Rosen Architects sliced into the descending slope, creating an entry to the main level spaces now set deeper into the hillside. The topographical cut provides sprawling views of the surrounding landscape, courtesy of full-height glazing, finished overhead by a glass ceiling.

The hillside incision crawls downwards, featuring a cantilevered concrete staircase that leads to a communal gathering space which is flanked by the master suite, further bedrooms and a guest suite. The pool house appears to rise out of the ground, which foreshadows a series of ascending and descending planes – interior and exterior living spaces crossing boundaries between roof and yard, yard and deck, deck and interior space – which culminates in a secluded light well and zen garden.

Ánimo South Los Angeles Charter High School
Brooks + Scarpa
Brooks + Scarpa has designed new facilities for Ánimo South Los Angeles Charter High School, following the unfortunate burning down of half of the campus as the result of a faulty air conditioning unit. The most visually striking addition to the new structure is the 20 ft yellow metal wall, which wraps around the building’s exterior and forms a central courtyard at the heart of the facilities.

18,000 sq ft in size, the space was designed to reflect the school’s ethos of being a safe environment for study and socialising. Cost-effective in production, the perforated anodized aluminium façade maximises security, enhances privacy and filters natural light and ventilation throughout the new rooms. The new facilities include 11 new classrooms, two new science labs, administrative and counselling offices and more.
