The site leads
Coastal and hillside work begins with approach, orientation, exposure, privacy, and view.
Coastal Residential
Castellamare Residence
Pacific Palisades
Project perspective
A coastal residential reference that expands the studio’s work across Los Angeles hillside and ocean-oriented settings.
The design story
Castellamare Residence provides a coastal residential counterpoint within the project library. It belongs to a body of work concerned with how architecture meets slope, view, street, and the particular character of the Los Angeles coast.
The project is presented as a visual and geographic reference without publishing a private street address.
What this project shows
Lessons carried into the next commission.
Form must be legible
A clear composition helps complex site and program conditions read as one residence.
Technical inputs belong early
Site-specific consultants and constraints are most useful when they can still shape the design.
