large house designs,...

This residence is designed by Rockefeller Partners Architects on a generous lot of 10,000 square feet. Not whole this site was buildable because of its irregular shape and a small grove of eucalyptus and pine trees but the house become quite a big project anyway. The house also has irregular shape and is split into two wings in order to maximize the views and reduce its massing. Thanks to such shape and a lot of glazing almost every room in the house is connected to the outdoors and has access there. At the heart of the home is a great fireplace that begins in the living room then penetrates the exterior wall to become a wedge-shaped landscape feature and finally, the pool wall.
