ostego residence

Mission Hills, CA

The challenge for this project was to create a home that could be lived in by a large family that felt like a smaller house.  We used the steep hillside to create a series of roof gardens and private terraces in order to incorporate the outdoors and make the best use of the site.  The different outdoor spaces and use of simple materials creates the look of a series of private bungalows dispersed along the hillside.

design process

This project used materials to emphasize the modern lines of the home and expand the living space in a way that the addition is seamless.
