BERBERIAN ResidenceLANDRY DESIGN GROUPL o s A n g e l e s , C a l i f o r n i a , U S A
The primary concept for this residence was to design a
home that incorporates modernist philosophies while
being well adapted to today’s contemporary lifestyle.
Located in a prestigious residential community on a 4-acre
site, the house was further enhanced by incorporating the
site’s large mature trees into the design. The prominence
of these existing trees was such that they actually dictated
the orientation and layout of the home, resulting in a
project that becomes an integral part of the landscape
from both an exterior and interior point of view.
The exterior of the home comprises large glass walls,
smooth hand-troweled stucco, and Pennsylvania
bluestone laid in a ledger pattern. All of these materials
were chosen for their ability to relate to each other as well
as for their compatibility with the colors and textures of the
natural surroundings.
