Modern CliffSide Villa by Oscar Shamamian

Architect Norman Foster has done a great residential architecture project of this 6,500-square-foot Modernist Cliffside Villa situated on a steep site overlooking the Mediterranean.

The principal areas encompass five levels, with related living, dining and library spaces.” A glass elevator connects these levels to the bedrooms below and to the roof and pool terrace. On the rear wall, in the dining area, is an installation by Richard Long.
The dining level is elevated above the living level and main terrace for clear, uninterrupted views out to sea,” notes Foster. Outdoor furniture by Dedon.

At the studio entrance is a reception space with a prototype table designed by the architect that explores residential diversity: The cube at the far end stores a compact office, complete with a fax, a printer and a computer. Beyond the terrace, interlocking cables are used to position canvas sunshades.

Dynamic steel arches that swoop over the pool terrace and down the hillside are gridded with the network of cables that “support sails for shade and privacy as well as encourage the growth of greenery,” Foster explains. “The materials, colors and detailing evoke a nautical feel.” Eventually, the house will be partially covered by vines, blending the structure into its rugged surroundings. Furniture, Richard Schultz.

The Leonard Residence by Ehrlich Architects

Ehrlich Architects has designed modern concrete house design combined with glass material creating beautiful 4000 sqf modern residence located on a 45-degree-angle downward sloping canyon site in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. Embracing an entry courtyard, the structure is a composition of vast areas in glass supported by steel and concrete, tracing its lineage to the case study houses of LA.
The hillside-bound site presented the most obvious challenge as well as opportunity for design. To achieve the vision objectives, the house is spliced into multiple levels to accommodate and embrace the steep slope yet make the most of all useable space, nearly panoramic views and augment privacy from the closely adjacent homes. Each level fluidly caters to specific living, working and relaxation needs of the residents, allowing for utmost efficiency and comfort.



The entrance level is greeted by a permanently-installed corten steel and glass dining table designed by the Architect. A two-story living room is suspended over the canyon on a structured concrete slab that also serves as the finished floor. From this level, a floating tread stair ascends to the master bedroom/bath suite and a floating reading loft affords classic LA views through the 20-foot high glass walls. Access to a roof terrace above the garage fosters sunbathing and relaxation.
