Family Circle

Location: Pacific Palisades, CA Scope: 5,200 SF Single Family Residence Client: Mary Tuncer

This residence on a prominent corner lot fully embraces the HOA's design requirements for a traditional look, while the feel of the home is anything but: A circular open plan flows around and through an interior courtyard whose boundaries dissolve by opening two wall-to-wall glass facades. Every room in this family home boasts views of the court as well as the suroundings, while the separated volumes of the upper floor maintain privacy between quarters and create the impression of a grand hacienda that has grown over generations.
