Deronda Residence,Located in Los Angeles, California, The Deronda Residence has been designed by Space International. This Deronda Residence lies near the apex of Beachwood Canyon, on the Hollywood Hills. By Utilizing the existing footprint from the original home, this new renovated home is comprised of two main rectangular spaces which shifted off axis from each other to accentuate the difference in program which lies within.
Space International create more public living areas of this home and situated on the ridge of the site, so the owner can take advantage of flanking outdoor spaces which are designed as extensions of the living dining, and kitchen areas. Large sliding glass panels connect these living dinning and kitchen areas to the adjacent terraces and views beyond, inverting the interior into an open, covered outdoor room.
The more private sleeping and bathing areas are situated in an enclosed cantilevered bar, which hovers over the hillside and is nestled amidst the tall pine trees located at the perimeter of the property. A white plaster shell demarcates the spatial hierarchy of the house, operating as a supporting floor plate for the private volume, then folding upward to serve as clerestory roof plane over the more public spaces. This undulating skin enhances and mitigates the varying degrees of enclosure and exposure to the picturesque surroundings and skyline views which encircle the property.
