West Hollywood 1980′s Contemporary House Remodeling Design by (fer) studio
How a 1980′s home would look after being remodeled into a modern contemporary residence? Architects from (fer) studio have the answers as soon as they completed the house remodeling project of a residence in West Hollywood. The final project have resulted a 4,500 sqf architecture, extended from 1,800 sqf previously, and comprised of 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, also a media room, and an office.
Located in the hills above Sunset Boulevard with 180 degree views of Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Brentwood below, the remodeling goal of the residence was to capitalize on the spectacular views and thereby maximize the natural light throughout the two-story home. To achieve this, the home was reoriented West, with the sun-soaked master bedroom facing South, overlooking the backyard pool area and the Wilshire corridor beyond.
The client is a frequent traveler to Thailand and Cambodia, and being inspired by both cultural style to set his residence remodeling. A fusion between South East Asian expression with a modern contemporary aesthetic. The exterior of the home is enveloped in red mangaris exterior wood cladding; indoor and outdoor spaces flow into one another through retractable doors, full height glass walls, and harmonized materials. Artifacts are peppered throughout in display nooks, on axis, and as focal points.
On the green backyard, a glass mosaic tiled pool, and an oversized white daybed connects the pool area with the outdoor living and dining rooms. The existing kidney shaped pool was redesigned to incorporate a jacuzzi and a 3” deep wading pool for “floating” lounge furniture.
At the entrance of the home, a 14’ full height glass jewel box displays the interior floating staircase made from 100-year old reclaimed teak, glass, and blackened steal. Beyond the custom-made pivoting forms-and -surfaces bonded metal steel door, the interior is bright, clean and open-concept.
The South Asian exotic touch is added with a 300+ year old monastery door that slides open into an office and the ground floor powder room leads to a bathroom and linen closet. The powder room is defined by a long stainless steel wall-mounted fixture that emphasizes a single antique Asian table with a granite basin.
