Modern Mandeville Canyon Residence Design by Rockefeller Partners Architects
Rockefeller Partners Architects have recently comanpleted a modern house design project for a family with two kids. The client was Sky Dayton, the EarthLink founder, which has bought a beautiful 3.14-acre lot in Mandeville Canyon with over 200 mature trees and expansive views of the city and oce beyond.
Luxurious House Design
The Daytons first mandate was to create a useful, beautiful and timeless house design. Rockefeller Architects then worked the idea and comes up with the craftsman architecture of the early 1900s with its originality, simplicity of form, use of natural materials and the visibility of handmade details.

The house design takes full advantage of the expansive site and allows one to experience the exterior and interior of the home simultaneously. Nestled between groves of trees, the residence is divided into two main wings. The public living spaces and master suite are located in one, while the children’s quarters, guest rooms, and auxiliary spaces are located in the other.

Alana Homesley was the partner whom Rockefeller Partners worked with in order to decide the house’s surface materials. The facade is clad with gray-stained cedar, inspired by the soft gray tones of eucalyptus bark. The material’s color and texture unifi es the structure with the surrounding groves of trees. The cedar carries from the exterior through the main entry hall, representing its significance as an interstitial space or articulation between the two sections.

Rockefeller Partners spent over four years designing and building the house for the Daytons, preceded by 6 years designing a house for the Mandeville site’s previous owner. After over a decade, it is enormously satisfying to finally place the right structure on this property. Photography by Eric Staudenmaier
