PROJECT description:
Situated in Mandeville Canyon, high within the Santa Monica Mountains foothills, WE46 is a private residence that reinterprets the concept of a singular space with multiple uses. The two-story composition consists of geometric volumes stacked in an irregular sequence, producing fractured sightlines and spatial conditions that continuously dissolve the sense of a singular, unified interior.
The dramatic vistas beneath the residence extend the living experience outdoors, with carefully articulated sections designed to provide unobstructed, intimate spaces within the broader home. An accessible rooftop introduces a communal gathering area, fostering connection and lightness within the overall composition. Anchoring the ground floor, a striking black spiral staircase both divides and connects the common living spaces with the private bedroom wings, creating a dynamic spatial dialogue that balances openness with privacy.
WE46
“The two-story structure comprises a series of geometric volumes stacked in an irregular arrangement, generating shifting sightlines and fragmented spatial experiences that continuously dissolve the perception of a singular, unified interior.”
“The dramatic vista below the residence extends the living experience into a variety of outdoor environments. Each segment of the structure is carefully designed to provide unobstructed views and intimate, personal spaces within the overarching unity of the home.”
