Located on a long, narrow lot in the Venice neighbourhood of Los Angeles, this house designed by Finne Architects comprises a dramatic series of folded roof planes and a collage of textured metal and wood exterior surfaces. Planned as a garden sanctuary in the city, the bulk of the house has been placed on the eastern side of the lot, making a linear garden on the western side. The wood living pavilion projects into the garden space. A pool has been placed directly outside the living area, allowing this prominent part of the house to be mirrored by water.
